A hungry rain and yes, more zombies: Random Tuesday Thoughts

What time is it, kids?
Why, it's time for Random Tuesday Thoughts!
What does that mean, kids?
It means y'all get out your number 2 pencils, scribble down some incohesive thoughts on a cocktail napkin, and then turn them into a post! And then add the fugly purple button, and leave the link to your post in a comment so we can all check you out!
(No, I haven't forgiven Mr. Linky yet. Maybe next week).
Ready? Randomize!
Anybody else get really squirrelly when they're hungry? Do you ever skip a meal and think, "Omg, I'm going to be SO crabby later," and then later you're all, "GAH everybody is SO STUPID and I am SO IRRITATED and IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M HUNGRY SO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!". And then you eat a huge meal and you're still crabby as shit so you feel vindicated. Like, "See? It wasn't because I was hungry, everybody really IS super irritating!"?
No, I'm not cranky. That isn't the POINT. Shut UP.
I'm reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Some
Yeah. Sure they are.
Anyway, no nightmares so far. It's kind of a silly read, and there's some humor to it ("The creatures were crawling on their hands and knees, biting into ripe heads of cauliflower, which they had mistaken for stray brains"), so it's not completely terrifying. It reminds me of Shaun of the Dead, which I foolishly saw in the theatre, and wasn't scared a bit until 3/4 of the way through when the zombies pulled some dude through a window and ripped his stomach open. Then I was all, "Oh holy shit this is a ZOMBIE movie!!".
No zombie nightmares since reading the book, but I had a doozy a few days before. I was standing in a graveyard on the edge of a swamp. Someone came up behind me and I just about took their head off. (Because apparently I have swapped my terrified attempts to barricade windows for uber zombie-slayerness. )
It turned out to be my mother. Alive.
I was ecstatic to see her but suddenly realized we were surrounded. I could only leave the way I came, over the swamp in a skiff, but I couldn't put two people in it without capsizing it (and leaving us both prey for zombies above and below). So I had to leave my Mom in a graveyard, up a tree, surrounded by zombies.
(Oedipus had fewer issues than me, apparently).
I rushed the skiff back to base camp, which was an adobe fortress built into a hill, and pounded on the door. Guess who let me in?
We took the 50s-style pickup truck/tow truck overland back to rescue my Mom. I'm going to assume we got there in time, because that's when I woke up.
(Sorry, Mom).
I have an ultrasound tomorrow for no happy reason (it's to eliminate any potential weirdness/cysts that might be causing my premature
Which would probably be tolerable if they were on time.
Magic 8-Ball says, ALL SIGNS POINT TO NO.
I wonder if it needs to be water? I bet drinking a litre of wine an hour before would make it a lot more fun. Or vomituous. Either way.
The Inaugural Run for our relay marathon training didn't happen today, either. Yes, it was pouring rain all day, but our Fearless Leader Trainer Lady was incommunicado, too.
That can't be a good sign, can it? If the trainer doesn't feel like training? I'm kind of getting that 'doomy' feeling about this whole project.
And, y'know, I could work out on my own, but I'm busy writing for YOUR amusement. You'd think you guys would be more grateful.
(Pouts fetchingly).
What's that? You are grateful? Prove it, then - grab the button, write your RTT post, and leave your link in the comments! Happy Tuesday!

I hate those ultrasounds! They always make you drink a gallon of water and then make you wait a little bit longer than they should. Then they want to push on your stomach? I wonder how many women have pee'd when they've done that! Good luck

Yes, one time I found myself irrationally yelling at a cashier and then I immediately thought, 'wow, I'm really hungry'....poor cashier!

Good luck with the ultrasound. I hope everything looks healthy.
And I have wierd dreams and mom issues too. Just not about zombies.
I'm going to do a RTT post, but I'm a huge slacker and haven't gotten there yet.
i'm glad that you work out for our amusement. it makes for much better stories :)
what's with mr. linky slacking off on the job again?

My husband knows that when I start to get crabby, he better get some food into me. And a real meal, too...none of this snack food!
I've spend many times waiting in the waiting room with my legs crossed. I used to have "uterus issues" (is that TMI for a comment?) and so had a lot of ultrasounds for no happy reasons. Good luck!
Here's my RTT:

Hi! I have just done my FIRST Random Tuesday Thoughts post!! Woohoo!
Good luck with your ultrasound!
http://crunchiemummy.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/my-virgin-random-tuesday-thoughts-post/
I pull that not eating/psycho bitch routine all the time but it turns out I'm just a huge bitch. No surprise there.
I would totally save you in the zombie apocalypse, you picked the right "dream a friend". I'd save your mom too just cause you know, YOUR MOM! Sorry, I have to use a good "your mom" joke when it comes to me.
Do you think Trainer Lady threw out her back doing some Tae Bo moves in the shower and then drowned? I think maybe you should call someone about her...
I think your obsession with Zombies may be bordering on unhealthy. If it were me I would consider professional help. Just sayin'. My randomness is a lot less fun, but here ya go.

The zombies thing was funny but now you're just freaking me out.
Good luck tomorrow. I hope everything turns out okay.
My random is here:

I like the way your un-friends wrote in the book for you. Hilaroius!!
Good luck with the ultrasound.... hope you don't speeze. You'll understand that AFTER you read my post...

I totally think you should show up drunk for your ultrasound. Then lay on the waiting room floor and keep chanting about how you have to pee...I promise you'll get right in and out of there!
It's like we're soul sisters. I just had my ultrasound yesterday for something similar. That probe was the most action I've seen in hours. That's why I've been moody. Email me and let me know how it goes.

Its bad enough when you have the drink that much, but them being late too? I would pee on someone.

Good luck with the ultrasound! I hope they find something easily fixable. I like Jenni Jiggety's thoughts. If you show up drunk, you will probably move to the head of the line. Especially if you start to hit on the ladies in the waiting room.

What is this 'litre' you speak of? Is it some sort of unit of measurement?
Oooo. . . .wine to an U/S! Mucho fun potential there.

Good luck with the ultrasound - I had to have one where they told me to drink a gazillion gallons of water before coming in...and after the interminable wait, was told to 'empty my bladder' before the ultrasound...I was a little miffed to say the least. ;)
Here's my Randomness a little later than usual:

Every time I see anything about zombies, I think of you and Mrs. Bear from Outnumbered. You WANTED that, didn't you?
Good luck with the ultrasound!
