The First Zombie-Proof House
Somehow, ritual drunk-conversation concerning team captains for the apocalypse has become a major part of the lives of 20-somethings. Having been matured in the Grandaddy-crowned masterpiece film (put “A.M. 180” on and forget that you have a job) 28 Days Later and the best-selling Zombie Survival Guide, we’re all a little too ready to deal with the 2012 zombie apocalypse of our dreams. “The Safe House,” designed by KWK Promes, starts to get eerily close to something I could work with, if say 200 bludgeoned members of the undead army came over to eat their way into borrowing some sugar. “The most essential item for our clients was acquiring the feeling of maximum security,” begins the designers’ website in the summary of the structure. Who wouldn’t feel safe in a concrete rectangle that folds in upon itself to become completely sealed? Even the windows are covered with a slab of concrete when the structure is on nap time.

Evaluate Your Relationship, Not Your Partner | Evan Marc Katz Blog - Dating Coach
Paulina is in her early 50’s – thin, blond, whip-smart, and sophisticated. She worked with me last year and came back once she found a promising relationship. She lives in Boston. Matthew lives in Atlanta. They met online and emailed regularly. A few months later, they got together for a romantic weekend. And ever since – surprise, surprise – he’s been a little bit emotionally distant. Oh, he still calls and texts every day – little things like “how was your day?” Matthew no longer compliments Paulina. Most importantly, Matthew hasn’t made any overtures to see Paulina since their first meeting. Distraught, Paulina is desperately trying to figure out how to rekindle their relationship. Wait. When we talked about things, I learned that Matthew is a kind, attentive man, but he’s a bit socially awkward. As a result, Paulina spends most of her relationship wondering why things can’t be better, easier, more fun, more supportive. My answer: Who F-ing Cares?! o Tell me what she likes about Matthew.
