Some Things Are Just Wrong…

So. Have you ever done you just knew was wrong, even as you were doing it. That ugly feeling you get in the pit of your stomach is just awful. Not like stealing or anything. I don’t mean wrong in that way.

I am pretty sure that my third shift grill operator had a few budweisers too many prior to coming to work tonight and I just ignored it and went on about my business. This is my fifteenth day straight and today, like several lately have been 15+ hours. Not that it’s any excuse but I am just tired and really didn’t give a shit.

Hopefully in the process of cooking tonight he won’t chop his hand off or burn the place down.

All of my manager are finished with their vacations now. The last one comes back tomorrow and I have to cover the next two days off so that one of them can be off. Thursday and Friday I will actually get a couple of days off in a row. That will be the first ones since the weekend I went to the Ren Fest. It’ll be three weeks by then. No wonder I am so brain dead.

Luckily I won’t be doing much in the way of cooking the next couple of days. I have to stripe a couple of parking lots and put down cool seal on a couple of roofs so at least it will be something a bit different.

That’s about it tonight. I am pretty well beat and just don’t have anything else in this weary brain to write about.

Frontier(s)

I love a good horror movie. No. really. I love them. Anything from the genre will suit me, from Hitchcock to King, even the old monster movies with Karloff and Price. It seems as if my oldest daughter has inherited the love of horror from me as well and although I enjoy watching the films with her I don’t think I will let her go with me to see Frontier(s).

Why?

Looks to be just a wee bit too gory for a ten-year-old. I am pretty psyched about it actually and although it may not be playing anywhere close to my house since it is getting a limited run starting May 9th and showing for only one week, the DVD release will be coming a week later.

Frontier(s) makes other movies look like kiddie shows. Judging from the trailers and clips I saw at the web site it’s going to be a pretty terrifying flick. If you aren’t into horror movies and the like, you may not want to see this one.

Uncut. Uncensored. Unrated.

Not too many movies make it to the theater without being rated. Frontier(s) was originally slapped with an NC17 rating for extreme sadistic gore and violence, so rather than cuttting it down to an “R” rating and losing some of what makes the movie so horrific they decided on the limited theatrical release followed shortly by the DVD. How many movies have you seen that look as if they might have been good had they not been cut up and the good parts removed? I know I’ve seen plenty of horror movies that just weren’t horrible. That’s because the movie creators allow their creations to be butchered just to get an “R” rating. Obviously by not doing this Frontier(s) has created a bit of a stir, but that’s all good, just means more people know about it.

If you want to check it out you can see the unrated trailer and several other clips over at the Frontier(s) web site and you can also watch the official theatrical trailer below…certainly not for the weak of stomach…

If you watched the trailer, what do you think? Wanna go check it out with me? πŸ™‚

Odd Shots on Monday


Walking past a liquor store on the waterfront in Nassau this bottle caught my eye and I had to get a shot of it. Fire in De Hole Rum. That’s got to be some potent stuff to be called “erotic rum”
Nassau, Bahamas 039

I had an entire long post thought out on that day but I am tired and worked about 16 hours today. I’m pooped. Perhaps a shot of the ol’ fire in de hole would help πŸ™‚
