I always like to watch horror movies that have a ton of sequels and try to pinpoint the film where the villain becomes the favorable anti-hero because it’s usually the worst movie of them all. Right now I’m watching Child’s Play 3 and I think this is the point where the moviemakers gave up making Chucky scary and just turned him into a sarcastic ( Read more... )

Did you know a young boy drowned here? He was my son. And today, is his birthday.

Is it bad that I use Livejournal to keep track of what my friends are up to or is it just a sign of changing times? Thanks to LJ, I now know that Jackie is a hot redhead, Danielle's a ginger kid, Stephanie is addicted to video games (and never invites me to play), Maria needs to catch a break, Jessica is going to be writing my resignation letter ( Read more... )

Thinking about going to work tomorrow has got me thinking about finding happiness in a career. If I ever get to the point where I can get paid to do something that makes me feel unique, I'll be happy. I just wrote a second draft for my review of Neil Marshall's Dog Soldiers (review coming soon to a Classic Horror website near you!) and it just ( Read more... )

I e-mailed Beth the following message today:

I don’t feel good again today either. I think I have the swine flu. What are the symptoms?

She e-mailed me back this response:

You have an irresistible urge to roll in mud and eat garbage.

She's starting to get my sense of humor, me thinks.

Sometimes I feel like I'm on a sinking ship when I go into work. Six Flags was recently listed as one of the top companies to go under over the next year. Plus their stock was just suspended from the New York Stock Exchange. On top of all that, people are leaving the company left and right. We're already shorthanded and it's about to get busier.

I wish Facebook would go back to being a social network for college students. I really do. A few weeks ago a friend's mother added me to her friend's list, then a few days ago it was my future mother-in-law, and now, both my sister and my cousin (who I haven't seen in maybe 10 years) are my "friends." I don't feel like I can maintain my online ( Read more... )

Lost was so good last night that I changed my user picture to reflect the show's single greatest achievement: BEARDED JACK.

Oh, and I got a job at Six Flags and a puppy (not in that order). I'll post pictures of the dog on Facebook for anyone that cares to see what the soulless poop machine looks like.

Is it completely dorky to get married on Friday the 13th or Halloween? I didn't think so either ( Read more... )

I'm engaged now. I think most people might have known that already but for those who didn't, I'm totally engaged. No joke. I asked Beth on Friday the 13th (how fitting and romantic I know) and she said, "Yeah, alright, if there is no one else." We're not sure when to get married but we want to make it either Halloween (October 31st) or November 13 ( Read more... )
