Animal, vegetable, mineral.....

As a kid, I used to play 20 questions in the car with my grandparents. Nowadays I guess parents are lucky because there is a device that will now play 20 questions with you! All you have to do is hit a button. 


I've played with these some in the store, but I was really excited today when I came across a virtual version while using Stumble Upon. 


You can find it ----> Here!

I discovered that it's either the most stupid or the most intelligent device I've ever used. 


While trying to get it to guess red panda/ firefox, it guessed a pikachu. It never got the answer correct even after additional guesses. 


Then I was impressed because I tried to get it to guess an eggplant. It asked me several questions that really didn't make sense based upon the fact that I said it was a vegetable. "Does it have a horn?" Well....no... "Does it have four legs?" NO! I imagine it smirked at me at this point as the words scrolled across the screen.... "Are you thinking of an eggplant?"


Dang. Impressive. 


Anyway, I hope you have as much fun as I do with it. Also... I'm immature, but it's hilarious...................................

The fact that poop is singular according to 20Q just makes it better. 

Blogging: Not for everyone

Hello everyone! I hope that January is going splendid for you!


I've been talking to some people lately and the topic of blogging came up. While I strongly encourage people to write and create, it is in my strong opinion that some people should just not blog at all. I don't think that I'm any better or worse than the next person at writing, but I try to make sure that my blog meets some kind of criteria. So here are my top 5 reasons why you shouldn't have a blog: 


1. Content
 If you're expecting any sort of audience, you need to provide something with substance. I'm guilty of posting a video or sharing something funny now and again. However, if you can't create diddly squat to entertain people, or come up with something unique... don't waste my time. If you want to make a personal blog, that's fine. If you're wanting to entertain someone, make sure you're actually capable of that before writing. 


Additionally, if your longest blog post only has like 100 words or so, you probably need to up the ante. People like things short and to the point sometimes, but if they're taking the time to actually read something, they are probably going to want something with at least a little bit of substance. 


2. Grammar and punctuation
I'll be the first to tell you that not everyone is perfect when it comes to grammar and punctuation. That's okay! Everyone slips up now and again. I know that I do! However, some things are inexcusable. 

• Words like tho, wut, and cuz are not really words. Please learn this. 
• Commas exist! I know that it's crazy, but it's true. 
• I shouldn't have to mention it, but I've seen blogs where the spelling or usage of a word is wrong. What makes it even better is the fact that they'll use/spell it right in another sentence. How is that possible? 
• I know English isn't the easiest language to learn! However, if you were raised with it, you should understand simple, simple concepts. I don't even want to say anymore on this subject, so just read this: How to use the English language, son.

3. Introduction

I don't expect every blog post to start out with the most riveting line I've ever read, but I do have some sort of standard. If only two of your blog posts don't start out with the word "so," you probably have a problem.

Although it's not a post introduction, also make sure your blog title is interesting. It is the introduction to your blog as a whole, so you'd think it should be important. If it's difficult to spell or remember, it'll kill your audience unless you already have a widely established fan base. 

4. Presentation

If I wanted to sleep, I'd find a bed, not your blog. Learn that sentence variety livens things up. You could use question marks, ellipses, or even *gasp* an exclamation mark! I don't want to read something like this:

"So, I saw a guy on the street today. He wasn't wearing pants. Don't you think that is crazy, people. Anyway, I don't have much else to say. I'll talk to you again when I acquire more material."

That kind of blog post is snooze central, and the only thing shocking to the reader is that you had the audacity to start another post out with the word "so" again. 

5. Originality

For the love of God, be unique. I really, really try not to take any material from things I've read elsewhere. In fact, if I'm feeling an itch to write, I'll make sure to do so before reading someone else's blog. It's fine to use someone else's material as a basis, but when you basically just rewrite the lines in a new way, you're stealing. 

I don't want to be a party pooper, so I'll stop there. Additional fact, though: If you went to check to see if your blog is the basis of this post... you probably shouldn't have a blog. There are a million more things I could say on this subject, but I'll leave it at that. If you want to start a blog or have a blog, just take some of these notes into consideration. 

Until next time, enjoy this picture of Batman and kittens:

Happy New Year from CZM!

Ahh the new year! Isn't it great? Everyone is all about their resolutions and making this year better than the last. I think I should make a resolution to have a really crappy year, then next year I'll make a resolution to have a better year than the last. 2 resolutions succeeded. 
But seriously... my  resolution is to become Batman. Okay, once again, not really. But I wanted an  excuse to bring up Batman to share this with you:

As soon as I'm back to school and into the swing of things there will be more updates! Do not fear! If you're in college and on a break, enjoy the rest of your time off! Keep reading, and be sure to follow us on facebook! :) 

Stickers???

I'm often wanting to make some sort of CZM merchandise, and now I have! Introducing the CZM sticker!!!! It's fun CZM goodness for all your dedication. You'll also notice a new addition to the page. We now have a donation button over.....



<-------------- there (somewhere)


Donations will go to me (Brittany) to help me make more CZM merch, hopefully boost me to be able to have a self-sustaining website rather than a blog, and provide prizes that won't have to come out of my own pocket.


What were we talking about to begin with? Oh yeah... stickers! They look like this:  

Minus the white part, of course. Also, they're freeeeeee!!! 

I'm not sure when they come in (if it's before Winter Break, you can have them sooner) but all you need to send me to get one is your address. First come, first serve. Additionally, our e-mail is crazyzombiemuffins@gmail.com This is private and no one will see your address but I. 

I hope you guys are as excited as I am, and I hope you keep reading CZM!

PS: I'll let you know when they have been mailed. Also, if you know you'll see me in person, still send an e-mail and I can hand deliver it.

I like to smell things

The title of this post is no joke. I really like to smell things. It's kind of weird, I guess. I think [some] people smell good, though, and why not enjoy it? Also soap smells good, lotion smells good, and mmm candles. <3


However, you must know your boundaries when smelling people. While thinking about this, I considered the "let me borrow your jacket" syndrome. When you steal the jacket of a good smelling person, odds are you're also stealing it to smell them/their perfume/ whatever. I have come up with a chart, though, on how acceptable smelling certain clothing items would be. Observe. 

As you can see, acceptablity kind of works its way down the body. 
Jackets- Highly Acceptable
Shirts- Acceptable
Bras- Questionable
Pants- Just weird
Underwear- Creepy/Perverted
Socks- Gross/disgusting 


The one other thing I did consider is hats. Now... I'm not quite sure how to judge hats. 

Are they okay to smell? Not okay? Creepy?

Here's my formula, let me know if  you think of something better. 
If they use hair products, it's okay. 
A sweaty baseball cap, however, not so okay. 


Food for thought: Scarves, gloves, ski masks. 


PS. Sorry for my crappy drawing skills. Yo.

FSU Internet

I've learned that my best way to rage about things is through memes lately. Que sera sera, at least it's somewhat entertaining. And the subject of the day is......

CAMPUS INTERNET

I don't even think you're supposed to have routers, let alone ones with names like this. 

The story of my life right now. It really doesn't make much sense.  

.................................................................

This literally happened. Yet another mystery of the FSU internet. 

Maybe there are tiny routers on the floor that only cover a 1/2 foot radius. 

I just want to watch potter puppet pals for crying out loud. 

If you're reading this now, you're probably not on campus. Also, I probably hit that five minutes of internet in the 5:500 working to not ratio.

FSU Dining Hall

Hello Hello Hello. Contrary to popular belief, I AM alive. I've just been too busy to post. However, I have come up with my own meme about the FSU dining hall. Won't make too much sense to non-students, but still the hardcore truth. It might possibly be true about other campus dining halls as well. 

While they offer lots of things, it's usually not very appetizing or is something that only
 .01% of the population would actually want to eat. 

All I can say about this is... I wish I were kidding. The entry way
literally had a dead tree with toilet paper hanging from the ceiling
during Halloween. Easy to overlook, yes, but when
 I saw it I was like... O_O

Brownies aren't brownies when they're dry, and just because you put
 that cake in a cup with some whipped topping doesn't mean it's "fresh"

I've heard this complaint from multiple people, so I thought I'd include it. 

Sometimes they have really awesome stuff. If you have class or don't
want to eat until like 5:30, though, you're pretty much screwed
because they often take down shop early. 

I understand that it is a hassle to clean extra tables, but it's not t
hat bad when you have one person solely assigned to do it. But no.
Instead I have to sit right beside a million other people when there is
an abundance of tables chained off (by a plastic mock
chain no less) for no apparent reason.  

Waffle night. Banana split night. Same story. Very delicious, but they
decide to only assign one or MAYBE two workers to this line. They also
 decide to make waffles individually instead of preparing a few before
hand. They do what they can to keep the line down, but I wish they'd
 let some people help them. 

So. There you have it. FSU dining hall meme! 


Additional food for thought:
(first off, haha. "food for thought." Didn't say that intentionally , but it's funny because this was about a dining hall)
I was thinking about toilet paper in trees, and I decided it is probably like one of the ultimate insults to trees. I mean, it's a dead, bleached, chemically stripped version of a tree, thrown onto a tree. If we threw embalmed chunks of people onto other people, we'd probably be pretty insulted. It's a sick, sick world.
