And now for something completely different.
Okay, this might have nothing to do with writing, but what it lacks in topicality (it's a word – write it down) it makes up for in sheer awesomeness.
Today, May 27, at 1:00 PM, on Portland's Eastern Prom, is the second annual Zombie Kickball game. What, you might ask, is zombie kickball? Let me see if I can explain:
IT'S ZOMBIES PLAYING KICKBALL.
Don't believe me? Check the myspace. Or the paper, who had this to say (picture theirs, italics mine):
Ah, Memorial Day Weekend. Barbecues, parades and … zombies. This Saturday presents a unique opportunity to dress like a zombie and play kickball on Portland’s Eastern Prom. Organizers hope to draw 100 of the walking dead. Those who don’t want to play ball can still fill out the "Zombie Bleachers" or serve as zombie cheerleaders.
That's right – zombie cheerleaders. I live in the best town ever.

DAMMIT!! I wish I'd known about this... we'd have gone up there today! (Probably just to watch, though. The six-month-old is too young to play, and the 4-year-old won't sit still long enough to put zombie makeup on.) Sigh.
As a former four-year-old, I have to say you'd be nominated for Coolest Mom Ever if you brought your kids to zombie kickball. And believe me, if I'd heard about it earlier, I'd have posted earlier -- my policy is more zombies, more better!
There are times (few and far between) when I wish I lived downstate. If I did, you'd see the world's fattest zombie out there on the field.
Hey, being efficient at chowing those brains is nothing to be ashamed of...
Unfortunately, my husband took him out for the day so I could work. Which I'm still not doing because the baby is fussy. :P Oh well... maybe next year?
And if not, there's always Goth Fly a Kite day.
No, seriously. Goths flying kites. Tell me THAT'S not the best people-watching ever.
