Man, rice is the absolute best. Cheap, easy enough to make, can be used so many different ways, filling, goes with really anything savoury, easily flavoured. If you're having something you don't like, you can almost dilute it with rice as an unpleasant flavour neutraliser π

Couldn't make it down to the shops today, so I got the last of the stuff for the new house online from Kmart (onepass membership definitely making itself worth it, even better since I switched to an annual membership for half price around black friday). For some reason I find the idea of them posting me a washing basket and rubbish bin absolutely hilarious. Probably terrible for the environment, but also hilarious that they're probably paying $60 in shipping for my $40 in revenue

Fully aware that this is ridiculous, but there are 2 things that I'm afraid of (aside from the impending doom): spiders and zombies. To the point Zombie Taylor Swift gave me nightmares. But last night, I decided that I'd watch the 28 Years Later trailer, thinking if I watched it with no sound and in a tiny box, I'd be fine.
And I was! Thought it was cool and didn't give it another thought. Until bedtime...

Thought I could hear zombies in background of the rain sounds we listen to. Boyo twitched as he fell asleep and I (silently) freaked out. Tried to think about the upcoming trip and could only think about how Tokyo would be if something like that occurred while we were there. Was worried that the sensor light flickering on meant there were zombies coming into the back yard. Terrified if I got up to go the toilet during the night there would be a zombie in the house (this is a reoccurring thing anyway).
WHY BRAIN.
Sidenote: the movie looks so good. I wish I could watch it.

That's terrifying! I hate when horror movies and shows make me stay awake! I've desensitised myself over the years, as I love horror; supernatural mostly, I don't like ones based in reality as they do the same thing to me as you, cause nightmares and insomnia lol
The only way I can imagine zombies being real, is is rabies mutated and stopped before complete death. Which is unlikely I think, especially here as we don't have rabies (just lyssavirus up north), plus we're an island nation, so I imagine we could shut our borders (though COVID still came anyway). Plus the hydrophobia might make getting across bodies of water almost impossible for rabid-zombies. I class zombies in the supernatural category myself, along with ghosts, religious horror, etc.
