Sharing the World with the Undead
Biographical Musings from the Zombie Jar
“List each of your aunts and uncles and tell one thing about each of them,” the slip of paper says. Yesterday I did blood relatives. Today I’ll tackle the spouses. I’ll also recommend family reunions. Whether you are journaling or not, I strongly recommend to readers that they put together a family reunion if feasible. After… Read More
Uncle Eddie and cousins Melodi, Carol, Dustina and Jessica at a reunion. “List each of your aunts and uncles and tell one thing about each of them,” the slip of paper says. Hmmm. My grandparents were rather prolific and I’m not sure about reader interest here in my family members, but the paper has spoken.… Read More
Intro: Were there any events — world, local or personal that changed your life? The dairy princess activities must fall in this category, a series of little events that probably changed a natural introvert into a pseudo-extrovert. If you keep throwing a little girl out into social situations, eventually she’ll learn how to talk to… Read More
OK, guys — here’s your trivia question for the day: Who is this Star Trek character? Continuing with yesterday’s question: Are there any events — world, local or personal that changed your life? I’d have to throw in the airing of the original Star Trek. In a sense, Star Trek did not take me anyplace… Read More
I almost put this slip back. “Too big,” I thought, “not to mention too personal.” But how do you write a biography without getting personal? The size of this task could be daunting. I see my life as a factor tree and I am well out onto some branch or another, other paths left long… Read More
This house is full of old paper journals. I write behind dragons, Dr. Who and bilingual workshops. My organizational scheme unravels often and I only vaguely know what kind of information falls behind which cover. My mother wrote on her calendars, a clever plan that somehow I never picked up. Calendars make dating unnecessary while limiting entry size. If journaling sounds like too much work,… Read More
I love rainstorms. I’m not quite as crazy as some old college friends who used to climb trees during storms, but my youngest girl and I sat on the front porch yesterday during a rainstorm, just to watch the sheets of water fall and smell the fresh air. Rainstorms cleanse even as they drop bits of branches… Read More
Welcome, readers. Biographyjar.com has existed to tell my views and life story, complete with zombies. I merged a zombie blog into a biography blog and created… ummm, I’m not sure what. But I renewed the blog anyway. Enjoy. Reader’s Magnet has accidentally linked to this blog, rather than my education blog. If you are interested… Read More
Or did they? These are exactly the type of boys to go poking zombies with sticks. When the Apocalypse arrives, how will we know where our children are? At this point, society has so little discipline and so little chain of command, that whole schools may go over before anyone sounds the alarm. (What, she’s… Read More
Exactly what is on that plate? Notice the expression. If this man has not gone over, he is probably in the later stages of viral amplification. Beware. At the very least, this party is reaching the point where it’s time to go home.
