Have you ever seen the movie Near Dark? It stars Bill Paxton, Adrian Pasdar, Lance Henrikson and that white kid from an old Michael Jackson video (and no, I’m not referring to Michael).

I was a good little worker yesterday. Sanded and painted kitchen cabinets. Painted kitchen ceiling. Cut up all remaining big rolls of carpet into neat little rolls that will fit nicely into the trunk of the […]
