Zombie Sunday 3/13

Ohhhhweeeee, what a beautiful week of weather we have had here. I hope that the sunshine is also finding you wherever you may be! Almost makes me want to have a sunshine Zombie Sunday :)

Mr. Sun says "Well golly kids, it's too nice to be a zombie inside!"
There, how's that?

Last week I featured a really awesome photo of me as a zombie done by Jeremy over at iZombieLover. I rocked the 'hungry for brains' look, not gonna lie. If you want to check out some of his other creations over at iZombieLover, just have a look over to the left hand column and click on the button. His stuff is great!

Here are some random ramblings from this week:

**Although I feature "Zombie Sundays", it is more to describe the feeling of the lazy, veg-out kinda Sunday, and not because I have some strong love for Zombies. Don't get me wrong, I don't not like them. After all, they are better than, well, let's say vampires or werewolves. Whoops, just lost half my readers :) Haha, I'm just kidding. Please come back twihards!

I don't watch too many zombie movies, although I liked Zombieland, Dead Snow (about Nazi Zombies in modern day backwoods Sweden!), and Evil Dead...or wait, was that about demons, not zombies??

Anyways, that is about my extent of knowledge on them. Although, I did have one creepy ass dream last night about zombies. I was blowing them away with a big shot gun, so that was pretty fun! Hmmm, maybe I do have them on the brain :)

**A few weeks ago I was contacted by HGTV regarding House Hunters International. A rep from the show found my blog and wanted to see if I was interested in being featured! Eeeeek, cue: jumping around the apartment like a bunny rabbit on speed!!! I was pumped, and ready for my television debut. 

There was just once eensy weensy, tiny detail missing. We don't own a house. Turns out that is a deal breakers for House Hunters International. Weird. Darn.

Their loss, I would have made for great reality TV. (source)

**I am really, really happy ya'll liked "Frackin' Friday"! How fun is it to learn naughty words in a foreign language!? haha. I know I have a few German speaking readers out there, and I am all ears to any of your favorite cuss words. If you would like yours to be featured, give me a shout at texagermanadian (at) gmail (dot) com. Ya'll will all be cussing up a German storm in no time!

Learn you German cuss words, otherwise Merkel will NOT be impressed (source)
**And happy spring forward to all you North Americans. We don't observe the time change for another two weeks. The East Coast is now only 5 hours behind us. I like to think of it like I time traveled

So that's how the DeLorean works. DST! (source)

**Last but not least, a big shoutout to some great bloggyland peeps for featuring/linking me up on their site this past week. 

Joni over at The Beachs

Ya'll rock, and thanks for the support!

Tell them I sent you, and get a prize out of it! (no, not really, but you should do it anyways to confuse them:))

Ok bloggyland. Have a wonderful Sunday. I'll see you tomorrow. Tschüss!

  3. I love your blog - new follower. I meant to visit last week but somehow the days got away from me as usual. Thanks for visiting my blog.

    Swearing in other languages is fun! It doesn't count if you only sort of know what it means, right?

    Visiting from FTLOB :)

  8. I wish I could go travelling now since the time difference is one hour less between Norway and the West Coast of USA. My mom however sounds like she things we have the same time right now for a while. Totally confused here.
    Have a great week.

  9. Happy Sunday!

    Have to thank you again for the German profanity lessons, keep em' coming! Came in handy last night at my hub's club and the victim was German which made it perfect. This jerk is a major long-time club member who is nothing short of a piglet when it comes to our dinner, or gatherings where food is served. He likes to get 20X his dollar's worth. Anyone who knows me and how I coordinate events, and cook, no one ever goes away hungry.

    I practiced and it came out perfectly with just a hint of spit; feel dayum good today!

    Have a great day!

  10. Dead Snow was awesome. I watched the original version with english subtitles. When they're chainsawing off their zombie infected bits, pure gold.

  11. You should try out Shaun of the Dead. I'm with you on Zombieland but I gotta draw the line at ALL Scandanavian films.

    Thanks for explaining the rationale behind today's theme. I had no idea. (straight face)

    HGTV is the devil. It sucks me in with promises of organized, clean living but in reality never delivers.

  12. @Morgan - haha, I always do on my face :) I am glad ze deutsch war sehr gut! :) Totally, I should have. I choked, ha
    @Mrs K - maybe, hopefully wishing one day. But then again, I can't even imagine that. Sounds fun, but probably isn't so much!
    @Marianne - one less hour is HUGE! hahha, it always does seem to cause mass confusion!
    @Slidecutter - I look forward to your comments every time :) I will deffo keep them coming then! YESSSS!!! You seriously made me so happy. And you are too funny. I will have to come up with something good next week.
    @Poetry - good! We are in need of it :)
    @Jordan - we watched the subtitled version too, I thought it rocked! So gross, but so good. And love the ending!
    @Mollie - I have heard it is good!! I will have to rent. Love Hot Fuzz. Haha, true HGTV will do that. Maybe they really are the devil, tricking me and all :( Wait, are you going Zombie on me?!? RUNNN! haha

    Course, we aren't International, but TEXAS is awesome too!

  26. I read that about House Hunters International on another expat blog a few weeks ago... I really used to like that show, but finding out that people already own their house and all the visits to "possible houses" are staged really disappointed me. I don't actually watch it anymore...

Whoomp, there it is!
