My Blog In the Middle of Your Net

Previously on Work Stories, I wrote about the audio equipment at the New Year’s concerts being set up and the first song that got played.   It wasn’t too much of a story, but I liked writing it so I gave it to you guys.   This week I have another story for you.   I don’t know how it will end up.   It could be good or it could be bad.   Who knows?   It’ll probably be bad.   Oh well. This one happened this week on the way to work.   Yes, it’s a Work Story that doesn’t take place at work.   I’ve written Work Stories like this before.   If this is your first time reading a Work Story, I’ll explain myself.   When I choose what to write about for the Work Stories, I pick between things that happened at work, things that happened on the way to work, and things that happened on the way home from work.   Why all three and not only the things that happened at work?   If it weren’t for work, I wouldn’t have been where I was ...

On my Sunday “Bad” Movies Twitter account a few months ago, I listed the ten movies out of the first fifty posts that I considered the most representative of the Sunday “Bad” Movies as a whole.   I don’t know why I never made a post to make note of this list.   I decided that I should so I am about to go through the ten movies out of the first fifty posts that I think completely embody the feel of the blog series.   Note that these are single movies from the fifty posts.   I don’t consider an entire series of movies to be one slot in this list of ten.   Each movie in the series would be one slot.

Every once in a while, I leave a slot open in the Sunday “Bad” Movie schedule for a newer movie to slide in.   I’ll wait until I get closer to the date that I’ve designated for the new movie and then check what comes out around then on DVD and blu-ray.   I take a look and see if anything coming out a few weeks before that time seems like it would fit into the whole Sunday “Bad” Movie feel.   That’s how I came upon this week’s movie, Big Ass Spider!   Yes, the exclamation mark is a part of the title. Big Ass Spider! was a 2013 limited release horror movie.   It went into theaters for a short amount of time near the end of October.   Director Mike Mendez and writer Gregory Gieras brought to screen a movie about a government mutated spider that terrorizes Los Angeles, and the ragtag group that is trying to put a stop to the arachnid threat.   The group consists of a military Major (Ray Wise), his Lieutenant (Clare Kramer), an exterminator (Gre...
