Happy Easter all!
Last year jparks and I started our favorite holiday tradition: Undead Easter. We sit around, eat candy, drink, and watch zombie movies. This year we expanded on this by inviting way more people than will fit in our apartment over for Undead Easter. I cooked, made a huge Easter basket, and watched as even more food rolled in.
We ran a bit short on zombie movies as I was more concerned with cooking and jparks had said he was going to handle getting more movies, but then forgot. We supplemented the zombie movies with Ricky Bobby and everyone seemed okay with this.
I'm happy to say that I'm sitting here with a pissed off stomach after eating nothing but cheese and candy all day, but am still quite content. I honestly like nothing more than having a bunch of friends over. I don't mind all the cooking, cleaning, and general hostess duties involved with it. Being surrounded by friends makes our year anniversary in this overpriced area, that's bound to fall into the ocean, a little bit easier to accept.
Thanks so much, Regan, it was a really great afternoon. Your food was very good, and it was quite a treat to get to watch three movies in a row that I had never seen before. ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, a thought occurred to me, to keep with the theme next year you could also include zombie games! "Give Me The Brain" (http://www.cheapass.com/products/cardgames/cag525.html) and "Lord of the Fries" (http://www.cheapass.com/products/cardgames/cag526.html) are two I especially like.
What are the most popular zombie flics for Undead Easter? Please tell me "Shawn of the Dead" and "Dead Alive" are in there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteDianne- We'll check out those games for next year. Apparently jparks had a zombie game in his hand at the game store but thought Killer Bunnies would be better. This just, again, proves I can't let him make decisions on his own :)
ReplyDeleteDrew- "Shawn of the Dead" was one and "Army of Darkness" was the other. Next year I'll have to add "Dead Alive" to the list.
Okay, I can't find "Dead Alive" on imdb.com. Is that the correct title?
ReplyDeleteAt some point they retitled "Dead Alive" to be "Braindead". It's an early movie from Peter Jackson, who has since become better known for Lord of the Rings and King Kong. I think this is where the Sumatran Rat-Monkey originated. Flashback for Drew: Peter Jackson was also producer of "Meet The Feebles". Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI had a great time, too. That pain I felt all evening, centered somewhere around my now overproducing pancreas, was just the pain of FUN.
ReplyDeleteBest Easter ever! I did have to make a special trip to Walgreens for Rolaids a few hours later, but it was totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteThe food was great, I am still fighting off the 2 pounds I gained that day... Damned delicious, tempting, evil, succulent pot roast.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the games idea, Taboo!
