Happy Tuesday

Hello classmates!
I was unable to attend class today so I decided to go ahead and get my blog post done (More on why later).
For those of you who have not had the chance to watch iZombie, you should. It is on Huluplus if you have an account. I wanted to discuss a scene in the pilot which was meant to be heartbreaking but also would be useful to any of you that are writing your critical essay on the dehumanization of zombies. Olivia (Liv), the main character, has completely shut everyone out of her life after becoming a zombie out of fear of harming them. She was engaged to Major and it seemed to be a very happy relationship. The pilot revolves around Liv finding a purpose as a brain eating, physic, crime solving zombie, but it is only after her resident medical examiner catches her eating brains and realizes she is a zombie that things being to look better than bleak. He spends his days trying to find a cure for her and this gives her the hope she needs to ask Major to wait for her. But guys can be jerks and when she goes to his house, he is playing video games with a new girl on the couch. But not just any video game. Major and his new girl were killing zombies.
Imagine how, as a zombie herself, Liv felt watching this unfold. She still has emotions and still loves, its just a virus inside of her causing her to have attacks of rage. Only during these fits, does she resemble anything like the zombies in the video game. All she wants is to have her former life, but it has been taken away from her and most would kill her if they found out who she truly was.
I would really suggest this scene, as I said above, for anyone working on the dehumanization topic.

So now why I skipped class today.
If you look at the bottom of my fibula, I broke the end off. Of course this time it wasn't the ankle I've had multiple surgeries on. It had to be my driving foot. And even worse, I had to call out of work last night. I never do that.
