Last Week on All Things Fangirl

Last week, for some reason, the blog was overtaken by three topics: Swine Flu, 17 Again & Absolutely Random Meaningless Shit. YAY!!! You know what, I take that back. Cause there is nothing random or meaningless about Katee Sackhoff, a Sally Jupiter Art Print or a Goonies Reunion, now is there? IS THERE? Here's what ya missed,

Swine Flu

I got sick and thought maybe I had Swine Flu, which I didn't and even if I did, I would have been just fine. Nevertheless, to combat my sickly boredom, I posted this Beat the Swine Flu game. I thought I did really well, getting 17, until comments & @replies on Twitter revealed the ease with which others got scores like 20 or 23. So then I was sad.

And THEN I got tricked by some fake website made to look like the BBC that Swine Flu was turning people into Zombies (capitalized, obviously) in London. I BELIEVED THAT. I mean, only for a hot second, but still. Turns out the article isn't even from the BBC. Pshhh.

17 Again

EruditeChick and I saw 17 Again and it changed our lives. I wrote a quick paragraph on why it's better than Wolverine and linked to a review I quite enjoy. Eruditechick followed up with a great review of her very own! THAT's how much we liked this movie. Just go see it and understand the brilliance. HOW DO YOU DO IT, ZAC EFRON? HOWWWWWW? And if you follow my Twitter (it sounds dirtier every time) then you'd know that the Zac Efron barbie my friends got as a joke for me 2 years ago is now atop my Geek Shelf, beside my BSG Toaster, Map of Middle Earth, signed Watchmen, signed X Factor #1 and signed photo from Shaun of the Dead.

American Idol

I got pissed off cause Danny Gokey didn't suck this week. SUCK THIS WEEK, GOKEY. PLEASE. GO HOME SO THE TOP THREE CAN BE ALLISON, KRIS AND ADAM, THANK YOU BYE.

Also, sidenote, had a dream last night that Adam Lambert's performance this week involved coming on stage, giving a FAKE, really shitty performance that left everyone flabbergasted, like he was making fun of Gokey for sucking, then was like, just kidding, and performed again immediately and blew everyone's minds. ... That is all.

Video

Katee Sackhoff reveals her true nature as a drunk with anger management issues. This is amazing.

Julia Roberts reveals herself as a drunk who loves Tom Hanks and is hip enough to reference JJ Abrams' overuse of lends flare before Star Trek's even come out? Cool

Random

I get excited over a new Ben Folds project and AUGH I still don't have this CD. Ok. Buying it right now. Just try and stop me. Don't try and stop me, Smee. Try and stop me.

Goonies Reunion Photo! Woot!

Crazy cake celebrating 100 episodes of Lost!

Own your own Sally Juipter Art Print! WANT STILL. STILL WANT. See full post

Swine Flu Turning Brits into Zombies...

So I was checking out Nerdcore, as I tend to do, and I came across a post called Swine Flu Zombies! So I thought, haha, yeah, pandemics make people zombies, way to join in on the fun sooo late, Nerdcore. But then I saw the article it was quoting....

From the BBC,

There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in London due to mutation of the H1N1 virus into new strain: H1Z1.

Similar to a scare originally found in Cambodia back in 2005, victims of a new strain of the swine flu virus H1N1 have been reported in London.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the alert to phase six, its highest level, and advised governments to activate pandemic contingency plans.

So I got really freaked out and was like, what the hell?! Zombies?! What's happening?! Then I continued reading the article,

In the latest developments:

* The Netherlands confirms its first case of zombie swine flu, in a three-year-old boy recently returned from Mexico. After passing away early this morning, he rose from the dead and lunged at his mother.

Okay, THAT's not true.

The article ends with this,

Have you been affected by the zombie strain of swine flu? You can send your experiences using the form below. You can also send your questions about the decision to raise the alert and we will send it to our health experts.

So, listen. Zombies aren't real. And the BBC is having some fun with gullible people like me. But...zombies aren't real...right? This article is making fun of how everyone is panicking over nothing, right? WHY DO I THINK ZOMBIES COULD BE REAL?

In other news, after forcing myself to sleep for 12 hours, I think I may be better! Take THAT, Zombie flu!!

ZOMBIIIESSSS AHHHHH See full post
