A Biased, Myopic Account of Mundane Events

A random, annoying, story that may, or may not be worth your time.

So yesterday I was Facebooking over breakfast and decided to browse people's so-called fun walls. I clicked on a video posted by a friend from Norway and a rather boring looking scene unfolded. It was a living room, probably in a basement, I'd wager, with a sofa on which someone slept. On the left a TV flickered and in the foreground stood a lone, white rocking chair. As I lifted my fresh (i.e. hot) cup of coffee to my lips, I noticed that the rocking chair moved ever so slightly, then a zombie creature flashed onto the screen and released a howl, which caused me to start, which caused me to spill hot coffee all over my dress, computer, and table cloth and finally yelp "SHIT!!!" Not because it was frightening, but because it was unexpected. I was rather upset. After making sure my laptop would survive I summarily removed the "fun wall" application from my Facebook profile and I really don't think I'll miss it.

  • That was a pretty awesome story...I'd be upset if it was me, but since it was you I'm finding it funny:)
