Zombieland Series Heading to Amazon
~From ShockTillYouDrop.com
It appears Amazon doesn't want to be left out of the "genre series" business. This maneuver seems like an appropriate counter to what is brewing at Netflix: Hemlock Grove, an original series which is set to debut on April 19th.
Planned for 30-minute episodes, the small screen version of "Zombieland", which initially began as a TV series idea until it was reworked into a feature film, returns the franchise to that original concept of an ongoing serialized comedy adventure. The Zombieland series will blend familiar characters from the feature film with brand new characters specifically for the series.
Sadly, it doesn't look like the original film's cast will be a part of the production as there have been casting calls for the four major characters (Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock) as well as other minor characters.
The 10 Most Painful Places to Get a Tattoo
Tattoos are everywhere. We see them on all types of people and in all different places on the body. The decision to get inked is always an important one. Tattoos are permanent body modifications, unless you decide to shell out major cash to have them removed. Many people use tattoos as a way to memorialize important people or events in their lives, and where the tattoo is placed is often as significant as the tattoo image itself. Like it or not, tattoos hurt. Usually, the most painful places are areas of thin skin or where the tat is being placed directly over bone. That being said, here are the 10 most painful spots to get a tattoo.
10. Inside of the wrist |
9. Knee, elbow, ankle |
8. Anywhere around the eye |
7. Neck |
6. Ribcage |
5. Behind the ear |
4. Lips |
3. Top of the foot |
2. Along the spine |
1. Bikini/genital area |

Eleven authors have been commissioned to write ebooks for the British publisher Puffin, based on the eleven Doctors, and these will have a staggered release across the year, on the 23rd day of each month, so that the Eleventh Doctor’s story arrives on November 23, the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who.

Video of the Day: "I'm a Daddy and I Know It"
I was visiting them last night and while talking, my friend's husband admitted that he had it fairly easy with their two girls, but now he's beginning to think about how the addition of three more children - all at one time - is going to add a little more... shall we say... excitement to their lives. (Ya think? Hehe!)
Ironically enough, this morning I found this video and have since posted it on each of their Facebook pages. It's laugh-out-loud funny and gives great insight into what it's going to be like to parent five children after the triplets arrive.
I wish them both the best of luck and can't wait for the madness to ensue!
