And now, a stupid little story about work! I will give you the five - point checklist that determines whether or not I freak out at work:
  1. The boss is in the entire night (until 6:45)
  2. The new cook, Beau or Bo, is working
  3. They change the schedule while I'm there
  4. The potwasher, Kev, is working
  5. Dwayne works the morning dishes
Now, the other night, three of these points where checked. Beau was working, Kev was too, and Dwayne did the morning dishes. What does this all mean?
  • Beau pressures me and others to be done by 6:45 (something I don't respond to well)
  • Kev has been told by Beau that it's okay to disrupt me while I'm working and send through about eighty things.
  • Dwayne is a decent dishwasher, but when he works the morning, he never fucking cleans up his station and leaves it to me to clean when I come in at 3:45.
Now, I'm slightly OCD, so when I'm doing my job, I fucking can't stand if I deviate from my personal routine. Honestly, it makes me so mad, it kinda worries me. Pressure and things like that really don't help. Oh, well. No matter.. I'm off until at least Sunday now. Relaxation, bitches!

Read "Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way!", you'll thank me for it!

God, I need to get out of this house so bad. John's girlfriend is back living with us for a while. Let's never forget that I can't stand her. Unfortunately, I had off today, and went out with my dad to keep me from harming her.

She used my laptop.

Now, I'm normally a generous guy, but this is an unspeakable crime, using any of my shit without asking. If you know me, you know I hate people using my computer.

Okay, the other night, I saw a couple movies - one bad, the other; totally awesome. Four dollar movie night at Franklin Mills AMC has paid off in a way.

Dark Water (PG-13) : From the author that wrote The Ring (nominated by me to be the most not-scary movie of 2003), comes another borefest that has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Sweet Jennifer Connelly has a problem. Her ex-husband is being a bitch about custody of their daughter, Ceci. So for some reason they move to this shitty haunted apartment building. Of course, it's haunted by the ghost of this dead girl, and she keeps attacking.

The formula of this movie? Take Hide And Seek, make Robert DeNiro a woman, and make Charlie a ghost. The movie is just that simple. But unlike H&S, absolutely nothing scary happens until the last five minutes. Even then, it's nowhere near enough. Ending is disappointing, and certain plot points are never quite explained or resolved (i.e. Jennifer Connelly has migranes. You'd think that would have something to do with the end, but it doesn't).

1 out of 5 overhyped films.

Land of the Dead (R) - Oh my god. Zombies have overtaken most of the world, and namely, the unknown town this movie takes place in. Dennis Hopper pays John Leguizamo to bring supplies in from the ruined town to Hopper's high class suites. The lower and middle class people are in the contained city, practically dying. This other guy, Reilly, is done with supplies, and is ready to go to Canada (which is mysteriously abandoned). John Leguizamo is pissed because he's been killing people that Hopper doesn't like, and not getting paid for it.

Meanwhile, the zombies' minds are evolving. They are beginning to learn again, how to use weapons, how to trap people. They're an unstoppable army. Luigi- I mean Leguizamo, highjacks Koopa- I mean Hopper's, specialized zombie assault tank. It's up to Reilly to stop the zombie army and Luigi from destroying everyone.

Not only does this film have so much ridiculous gore, it also includes a cameo from Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, the star and director of Shaun of the Dead. Based on that alone, this film is Oscar-worthy. But it's just fun.

5 out of 5 severed heads.

Ninety posts. Man, I'm a loser. Watching Soul Calibur 2 caused me to realize, this game is boring when you're not playing it. And I'm a smidge tired anyway, so I don't really feel like playing either way.

Maddox is the man, he made fun of bloggers. Those nerds.

Seriously. They are.

So I went to work today, and realized I can't do my job, so I'ma quit it before i start school, which I agree does sound like a bad idea, but then one must remember that more jobs are available around the time school starts.

Run-on sentences are fucking fun and shit.
