A little bit of game music to get you in the groove:
I don’t think anyone can argue that one of the cool things about shopping is all the amazing lists that you make inside your head about what you’d buy if you only had the money to buy “it” (unless of course you can buy them. Then…you win).
This is one of those things for me.
Gigantic picture poster art:
I read up on the art work a little when I returned home. It’s called “Jungle Journey” – a real photo taken by photographer Skip Nall and blown up.
The poster picture art is simply massive and definitely worth the 150.00 price tag, but just sadly out of my price range to obtain it. After I saw it I knew I’d day dream about where it would go on naked white walls.
Soo many choices…
Now, you have to bear with me because it’s not just the picture (yet it is at the same time) itself. I was clearly and almost physically transported to DEAD ISLAND the zombie apocalypse game that I own when I saw this image.
I know. “Say what?”
There is a foot bridge in the game exactly like this one.
It wasn’t simply because I’m primarily a zombie author that I liked it, mind you. Or that it reminded me of the game. Or that in such an amazing size it looked like I could walk on the thing.
It was actually ALL of those things and a big bag of salty chips. It is so cool to me. I’d love to own it.
So that’s my “have to buy when I become richer” items.
Do you have an item that’s not completely out of your range- yet you can’t quite pony up the money because you can’t justify spending it on the unnecessary butvery awesome item?
If you have one I’d love to hear about it.

Hobbies. Everyone has them. Sometimes they are just meant to keep a person busy and in good spirits, but in some cases- hobbies make others happy too.
Meet Jim Rock. He’s in Lanesboro, MA and he restores bicycles as his hobby. He collects them all year ’round, restores them in the cold months of winter, and then sells at a good, low price as used bikes to anyone who wants one. He sets them up on the side of the road. The sight of all those gleaming bicycles in the hot sun grabs your attention immediately and you can’t help but wonder, “what’s happening here?”
I stopped and found a bike to my liking and bought one. I also dug up 4 old bikes in desperate need of the TLC that Jim is going to give them, so that some other person out there can find enjoyment in my family’s old bikes.
If you are local and want a used bike- call Jim. If you have old bikes and you don’t know what to do with them, call Jim. He’s a good guy with a hobby that can bring back the joy of being on two wheels again. 🙂

^ and below – The swag bag for the Zombie Action Committee panel. Considered the first zombie movie ever made in 1932, “White Zombie” will be a free ticket movie (considered public domain in 2012) that will play in October during the 2012 Zombie Walk. This bag and image is a tie-in for the event and the movie. I bought a craft bag, printed images on transfer paper, and ironed them to the bag. Neat, right?

22 – ^ A Jedi, too?? Since I didn’t see Darth and the Jedi together, me thinks maybe they were the same person who switched costumes…but this is unfounded guess work.

^ Photo: DA Chaney with friends in the Zombie Action Committee at BAMCON opening night. No idea what I was pointing at when the picture was snapped, but clearly I was the only one not prepared for the picture to be taken.
This weekend will be pretty busy. I expect to take pictures, notes, and hang out! 🙂
