They really don't advertise this well do they? I had no idea... Then again I am half-zombified!

Hmm... how do you become a zombie halfway? Are you just kinda peckish for brains, or do you maybe walk with a bit of a shuffle? Maybe you came back from being half-dead?

Hehe. Sorry. I'm half-zombie myself today but couldn't resist taking it literally. :)

I think you're supposed to wear blue. My plan of action is to go into the office and ask people why they aren't wearing blue. When they ask me, "Why would I be wearing blue?" I will tell him it's International Wear A Blue Shirt Day.

Oh what a coincidence I'm wearing a blue tshirt lol.
I've never really taken much notice to these kind of obscure "__day" things. But I am expecting a few people mostly on this site would be making youtube videos about the subject. I think last year whitetiger made videos every day of april, or was it once every week in april? I can't remember.
Speaking of which, I still haven't got round to the Adam review I was going to do ages ago, might do it today then it seems like a good idea what with it being kind of relevant and all.

Perhaps I should write this on a piece of paper in large block letters and tape it to my shirt if I go out in public today. Of course, that would undoubtedly draw a good deal of unwanted attention to myself... so much for that idea.

My work shirt is blue. So there goes everyone I work with; they'll all be wearing blue anyway.
