Dear Simon - I'm grabbing your Facebook comments, and your Twitter feed for Saturday night so when you are older, and have kids of your own, and you want to yell at them for walking home late at night through zombie-infested neighbourhoods, you can reminisce what it's like to be young and bulletproof :) - love from mum.

From Facebook comments:

Ow. My feet ache. My hands are leaking. My head is sore. I saw Zombies! And football Zombies! and a Zombie with a roadcone on his head. And someone that looked like Howard Moon and Vince Noir! And I got scared. And I kicked a ball around a field. And I walked 14km home I saw cops take two hoons away and went to a party. got a yohghurt! Calciyum! and went to a house that smelt like weed. And found a flag on a pole. It was blue. And drank water and sat on a couch. in hard rubbish. and stared at the stars. And couldn't pee in public fear of it being rude. and I walked upto 59/1 Pak highway and longed for memories from the house with the fishtanks. Thanks Jacob and Janelle. And met two people in Panmure! and they took me to their house and gave me more water. And then I found a burger shop that was open. The burger was yum. but it made me sick. /me finds broken shotglasses in his bag. I cut my finger. Smashed my thumb nail (I was t to do something to a speed camera.) hit my eye on a tree branch. saw a death. saved a life.

Staying alive, no matter what occurs

I've been unwell over the last few weeks. Ever since Sydney, I've had a low-level virus that laid me off work for a few days, and kept me on the back foot until just recently. All I wanted to do during that time was either sleep, or watch Last of the Mohicans. I did both to the point Chaz threatened to get rid of the movie - I think if he knew more people on Google Wave he would have organised an intervention.

When you're not feeling the best, do you turn to your DVD collection? Which movie goes on high rotation for you when the lurgy sets in?

In the meantime, excuse me while I watch this...
