The uprising has begun

So last month there was that story about a meteorite crashing and villagers falling ill.  I kept my eye on it, but it was either a false alarm or the zombie outbreak was successfully contained/hidden from the media.  Still, one can never be too careful, and now it looks like it may not be the zombies that are mankind's downfall, and we may be looking at the first signs of a robot insurrection.  That's right, a robotic cannon ran amok and killed 9 soldiers, wounding 14 more! Luckily most of my preparations for the zombies should still be effective, though now I need to rig up some EMP devices and everything.  I'll be in my bunker if you need me.

In related news, I finally saw the Transformers movie last night.  I guess it was the best movie I've ever seen based on a toy, and hit all the right points for a movie about giant robots fighting and transforming.  I'm not sure what the hell Jon Voight was doing there.  And it seriously needed some major trimming; the whole scene with the robots in the garden and the humans looking for the pair of glasses was excruciating, and yet it never seemed to end.  I also got pretty sick of the only dialog being "No no no no no no!"
