Life on a Budget
The CDC has an article published on their blog. I have to admit it’s very eye catching and interest peaking. The title of the article? Social Media: Preparedness 101 Zombie Apocalypse. I know it sounds crazy but it’s actually a good article. It’s types for a natural disaster: what you should pack, what you should do, etc. But it keeps your attention.
Here is a link to the post: http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp
PMD Personal Microderm abrasion created a commercial that’s both informative and funny. Take a look for yourself:
I heard about this commercial as a member of the Fringe Media network.

I thought I would post about this since it’s a unique event that may appeal to some of my readers.
I’ll be honest I’ve never attended this event but I’d heard of some of the interesting events that take place and see some of the unique cars and costumes involved in this event. It’s not an event for everyone but it’s definitely different.
Draculacon III is taking place next weekend May 21, 2011 from 1 pm to midnight in Windber, PA. This event is perfect for the Dracula fans, ghost chasers, haunted house fans, and more. Each year they change it up and bring in authors, ghost hunters, occult experts, movie stars from creepy movies, speakers, and bands that fit the theme. Some people really get into this and you see creepy cars and costumes.
This years line up includes:
–Kyra Schon who was a child actress in the 1968 version of Night of the Living Dead. She’ll be speaking and hanging out at the Grand Midway Hotel in Windber (which is said to be haunted) and having a question and answer session after she speaks. Last year they had the actor who played the original Eddy Munster.
–Rosemary Ellen Guiley is an expert on the paranormal and supernatural. She has written many books on the subject and her books have been translated into 14 different languages.
–Adam Blai is a religious demonologist. He works with the Roman Catholic Church and will be speaking at this event.
There are also several other authors that will be present and speaking.
Also included in the line up is a bunch of musical groups that includes: Bridge City Bombshells, Cadillac Creeps, and more.
I found this website which has more details. You can also purchase tickets for the event on the site: http://www.thecemetery.net/Dcon/Draculacon2011.html
I am definitely a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I was excited to hear about the next one coming out May 20th, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
This time Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) finds himself on an unexpected journey to the Fountain of Youth. A woman from his past (Penelope Cruz) forces him on the the Pirate Blackbeard’s (Ian McShane) boat the Queen Anne’s Revenge.
Even if you’ve never seen a Pirates of the Caribbean movie before you can start watching and still get into the action. Johnny Depp is wonderful as Captain Jack Sparrow. As someone who has seen all the movies so far, I love to see his character in each movie.
Pirates of the Caribbean is categorized as a Comedy-Adventure. Which I think is accurate given the other movies. This movie will have a rating of PG-13. Official release date is May 20, 2011. From Director Rob Marshall and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. You can watch the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides trailer below.
