Run For Your Lives! (5K Zombie Race)

February 27th 2012 18:51
Fans of The Walking Dead, or those of you just wanting to prepare yourself for the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse, now's your chance!



Inspired by the show, "Run For Your Lives" is an apocalyptic 5K obstacle race. But you’re not just running against the clock — you’re running from brain-hungry, virus-spreading, bloody zombies.

The race takes place in different cities (see official site for locations) across the US, where your goal is to cross the finish line before the zombies get you. How you ask? Well, read on!




Basic Survival

-Before the race, you will be given a flag belt, just like the overly intimidating game of flag football. These flags represent your health.

-The zombies want to take your flags and maybe eat your brains.
If you lose all your health flags, you die. And the zombies win.

-Health bonuses will be hidden throughout the course. If you find one and carry it to the finish, it will save your life.

What You're Up Against:

-Throughout the 5K obstacle race, there will be 12 man-made and natural obstacles for you to complete. Runners may choose NOT to complete an obstacle, BUT any runner who skips an obstacle will not be eligible for prizes.

-There will be zombies. Their job is to chase you and eat you — but mainly go after your health, in the form of your flag belt. Avoid the zombies to keep your health flags.


-Use speed, strategy and your intact brains to make it to the FINISH LINE with at least ONE FLAG INTACT. If you finish with zero health flags, your time will be recorded, but you will not be eligible for awards.

Glee: On My Way

February 23rd 2012 20:50








It's Regionals time! However, things don't start out all inspirational singing and weddings. When Karofsky tries to kill himself, everyone, evil Warbler Sebastian included, decides to dedicate their numbers this year to him. After seeing the effects such awful teasing can have, Sebastian apologizes to Blaine for the rocksalt slushie to the eye, and Kurt goes to the hospital to let Karofsky know that he'll be there to help him through this hard time in his life.

Meanwhile, all the teachers are horrified by such hurtful bullying, and Mr. Shue gathers his kids together to let them know that everyone has a breaking point. For him, it was when he got caught cheating on a math test when he was a kid. Feeling like he'd let his parents down and that he wouldn't ever be able to face his dad again, he almost jumped off the school roof. Thankfully he didn't, and he lets them all know that he's there for them, that no matter what nothing is as bad as it seems. After offering Rory his first bite of peanut butter (yes, it really IS that good!), he asks everyone to list what big things they're looking forward to in life. Puck admits that, while it not seem like it most of the time, he really does want to graduate. Santana's looking forward to the time her grandmother will love her again. Artie wants to be there to see his kids' first steps. Brittany wants Lord Tubbington to kick his ecstasy addiction. Mercedes is looking forward to meeting Rachel's children some day. Blaine is hoping for equality in all states. Kurt's looking forward to seeing his dad make a difference in Congress. Mike wants to dance at Carnegie Hall, and Tina just wants a song. Sugar, being Sugar, just wants to see 'Sex in the City 3'.

After winning Regionals, Rachel and Finn invite everyone to their wedding at City Hall. With everything that has happened, they've decided that life is too short. Sue finds Will to congratulate him on his win, then tells him he needs to congratulate her. Why? She is "with child". Will is surprised but happy for her. Sue has yet to name the father. After watching Will's kids perform, she's decided that she's going to help them win Nationals. What's the catch? Surprising even herself, she admits that this time she doesn't think there is one. She and Will head off to the wedding.

Having gone home to get her bridesmaid dress, Quinn is stuck on the road behind a tractor. While Rachel and Finn's parents panic trying to think of some way to stop this wedding, Finn comes in to tell Rachel that they need to hurry up or they'll lose their spot. Rachel really wants to wait for Quinn, who's also had a change of heart and now wants to be there for the wedding. She texts Quinn again, wondering where she is. Glancing sideways at her phone, Quinn finally picks it up to text back just as--BAM! She's hit by a truck.



Rachel: I wanna get married. Now.

Finn: I have Gym.

~*~*~

Sue: My doctors put me on bovine hormones that are making me extremely nauseous. They’ve also given me a near super human sense of smell. For instance, I can tell that within the last week you either enjoyed a delicious curry or a hug from Principal Figgins.

~*~*~

Sue: At first, I thought it was because you reminded me of a younger, somewhat less-striking Sue Sylvester.

~*~*~

Sue: I know you must be exhausted from singing all those oohs and background aahs.

~*~*~

Sue: You proved that it's never too late to turn your life around.

~*~*~

Sugar: There are 15 of us here and I'm only comfortable sharing a spoon with about half of you.

~*~*~

Will: You guys are young. I want you to promise me that no matter how depressed you get, no matter how hopeless or alone you feel, you'll try your best to imagine all the amazing experiences you have ahead of you.

~*~*~

Sam: Someday I want to earn enough money to buy my folks a new place so they don't ever have to go through losing their home again.

Mercedes: I'm most looking forward to meeting Rachel Berry's children.

Artie: I want to be there to see my kid's first steps.

Sugar: I want to be there to see Sex & The City Part 3.

Puck: I'm sort of embarrassed to admit it, but I really do want to graduate high school.

Finn: I'm going to petition the Army to change my dad's dishonorable discharge status to an honorable one.

Quinn: I'm looking forward to graduating from Yale at the top of my class.

: Santana: I'm looking forward to the day when my grandmother loves me again.

Brittany: I want Lord Tubbington to kick his ecstasy addiction.

Blaine: I'm looking forward to marriage equality in all fifty states.

MIke: I'm looking forward to the first time I dance at Carnegie Hall.

Tina: I just want a song.

Kurt: I'm looking forward to watching my dad make a difference in Congress.

Rachel: I'm looking forward to being friends with all of you for the rest of my life.

Rory: I know this sounds silly but the peanut butter really is amazing, Mr. Schue. Do you know what I'm looking forward to? Winning at Regionals.

~*~*~

Sebastian: Well well well, if it isn't a young Barbra Streisand and an old Betty White. Where's Gay Cyclops? Still trying to stumble his way in?

Kurt: We can't come here anymore.

~*~*~

Kurt: I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you — I was distracted by your giant horse teeth.

~*~*~

Hiram: Even Patti Lupone herself couldn't talk Rachel out of marrying Finn.

LeRoy: Barbara could.

Hiram: Maybe Barbara.

Burt: Who's Barbara?

Carol: Streisand.

~*~*~

Hiram: I have a new plan. I'm going to fake an epileptic seizure.

LeRoy: You're not an epileptic.

Hiram: That's why I'm going to fake it.

Burt: Hurry up.



“Cough Syrup”

“Stand”

“Here’s To Us"

“Fly/I Believe I Can Fly”

“Glad You Came”

“Stronger”

Glee: Heart

February 23rd 2012 20:07








In honor of Valentine's Day, Will challenges the New Directions to find and perform the world's greatest love songs. Meanwhile, Rachel's two dads Hiram and LeRoy Berry pay a visit to McKinley High.



Joe: We aren't all just door-to-door Bible salesmen like my dad.

~*~*~

Sugar: No single people allowed. They're sad. And boring. And they don't exist in my world.

~*~*~

Brittany: I wanted to make you a CD for Valentine’s Day, but this is as far as I got without any help.

~*~*~

Hiram Berry: Honesty, respect, dance. Those are the foundations of the Berry family.

~*~*~

Rachel: Which makes me really sad because I would love to have seen you in a bridesmaid’s dress, Quinn. And you as well, Kurt.

~*~*~

Santana: I fully support your right to be unhappy with Finn for the rest of your lives.

~*~*~

Rory: This is a four-leaf clover.

Kurt: Do you people just carry those around?

~*~*~

Sugar: Don't sweat the small stuff. And it's all small stuff when you're rich.

~*~*~

Hiram Berry: We agreed to sing it straight, no vocal runs. That's how Jennifer Hudson got kicked off of American Idol.

The X-files: Opening the Vault

February 21st 2012 00:19


For years fans of The X-files have wished we could get the same amount of DVD extras TV shows have now, with behind-the-scenes footage, bloopers, and more. After ten years, much to everyone's shock, we were suddenly given the FTF kiss. Then we were awarded with bloopers from IWTB, and now it looks like someone has finally located that highly top secret X-files Vault. So, mind the ominous smoke hovering these dark hallways, trust no one, and as Mulder would say, "Pick out something black and sexy and prepare to do some funky poaching" my X-philes friends! We have new videos! Enjoy! [ Click here to read more ]

This week's song is the demo version of Damian Rice's 9 Crimes, which was featured on the True Blood episode of the same name. I always like hearing how a song started out and where it ended up. They both have very different feels to them, but I actually like them both
