Traditionally, I have been a fan of preparation. As my mother's perpetually overflowing tote bag suggested throughout my childhood, if you brought absolutely everything with you, you could never have any excuse for making impulse purchases... which made for some incredibly unexciting vacations in my childhood, let me tell you. Who wants a warm waterbottle and a squished sandwich for lunch at the fair? Geez. Nonetheless, preparation is a nice skill to be familiar with. Doing your homework on time will keep you prepared for tests, buying the appropriate items while you're at the store will save you from the inevitable: "shit. These cookies need EGGS don't they..." and so therefore, reading apocalypse preparation guides will keep you prepared for the zombie attack, right? Right?
Item #1: The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from The Living Dead by Max Brooks.
This is perfect. If you are afraid of a zombie invasion in the vein of Shaun of the Dead, this is the only book for you.
Item #2: How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion. By Daniel H Wilson.
I have yet to read this book, but I imagine it would be infinitely useful in the event that The Terminator should be the way the end comes to pass.
However, it was not until I found this book that I became truly excited: How to Build a Robot Army: Tips on Defending Planet Earth Against Alien Invaders, Ninjas, and Zombies. By Daniel H. Wilson.
Going on the offense? Sounds perfect!! Who needs to sit around and wait for zombies and robots to overrun the world when we can build a giant robot army to begin with?! Wait... Those are the robots that turn against us, aren't they? Drat. Now what?
Hmm well, I suppose there is always giving some Utah-ian drunkard tons of electronic supplies and hoping he actually can create a warp drive...
At any rate, in the meantime I'll be reading, hoping, and keeping stakes in my home, hoping against hope that this weather will let up.
