Blood, Boobs, and Carnage Blogfest!

It's the Blood, Boobs, and Carnage Blogfest hosted by Alex J. Cavanaugh and Heather Gardner. For this blogfest, we're posting about about a movie, television show, book, or all three that falls into any of these categories.

Okay, I've decided to pick a movie, television show and book the comes to mind when I think of each category.

Blood, Boobs & Carnage: I immediately thought of Tarantino's "The Bride" played by Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill series. Does that include all three or what? Yup!

Then I thought about Tomb Raider's Lara Croft. For a video game character, turned movie blockbuster, she epitomizes blood, boobs and carnage, huh? You know it!

The Walking Dead has all three as well, but mostly blood and carnage. When I mention carnage because it can get bloody as hell. Last season had some of the worst death and destruction caused by many of the survivors of the zombie apocalypse including the living and the dead. For those that aren't familiar, this past season dealt with zombies, cannibals, isolated societies and Carol. Carol, was my choice for blood and carnage because she is just BAD ASS!

Those are my picks! Man that was fun. Did you participate in the challenge? If not, see the links here and take a gander!


Have a great week!

Friday - Saint Patty's Day Weekend

I apologize for not posting or visiting my blogger buddies this week.  The flu bug I picked up from my son turned out to be a heck of a virus.  With the weekend almost here, I'm finally feeling much better.  Man, that one really kicked my rear.  It's perfect timing since Saint Patrick's Day is this weekend!  Does anyone have any plans?  Are you a fan of green beer?  What about being pinched?  Do you wear green that day or do you not really care?  Me?  I always loved this saying:  "There are only two kinds of people in the world, The Irish and those who wish they were."  

Friday Funnies

Vampire Bill looks a bit like a wee leprechaun, huh?

Walking Dead on St. Patty's Day:  "Must...have...green...beer."

This has nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day, but I thought it was funny since its Friday.

Cute, huh?  And that Irish one looks a bit like Fred.

Fridays with Fred

Speaking of Fred, I took this shot of Fred twitching his nose.  Have you ever seen a dog do that?  So silly.  I love this crazy pooch.

Be sure and stop by and visit Schatze over at Mary’s BookHounds too.

Happy Saint's Patrick's Day.

Fridays with Fred: Presidents Day

With Presidents Day coming up, I thought I’d give a dead tribute to our past Presidents. Zombies are on my brain lately because the highly acclaimed series, The Walking Dead, returned last Sunday. If you missed the it, you missed one chilling episode. Rick is a living breathing bad ass and a silent but deadly force in the undead “walker” world. Anyway, I Googled the term Zombie Presidents and pulled some fantastic imagery of our former Presidents...zombfied. There are so many wicked talented artists and designers out there. I put this collage together with my iPad and had a helluva time doing it to. My favorite is the Michael Jackson thriller piece. What's yours?

Special thanks to the following sites that help me make this collage:  Adrian's Undead Diary, Debate Politics, Pencilla, and the list goes on and on and on...

Fred’s representing president’s day, imitating Lincoln.  Go Fred!  See what fun you can have with picnik.  I’m so sad this apps going away.  :0(

Last but not least, since we’re on the topic of Presidents, I found this trailer of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer via you tube. I honestly didn’t know what to think about this one. I have this book on my TBR list and will get to it soon. With Tim Burton producing this bad boy, I’ll bet it will be exceptional if not spectacular. Here’s the trailer if you missed my post on my FB.

Have a great weekend.

Fridays with Fred: Zombie Fred

Minions!  Fred has been infected.  He didn't have a chance against those zombies from last week.  Oh, well.  Good thing I found this zombie scanner from Max Brooks, which shows how serious his level of contamination is.

Zombies are on the rise with the coming season premier of The Walking Dead.  See the season 2 trailer below.  I guess that’s why we've had zombies on the brain lately.  Anyway, hope you all get a chance to watch it.  The premier is on Sunday 8/9c on AMC.  

Be sure and check out Schatze over at Mary’s BookHounds.    Have a great weekend.
