Walking in LA ...

While walking in LA one never knows what one might come across. Like this Snowman trio that I assume is a family. Looks like Frosty finally settled down...
"Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With corn cob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in
That old silk cap they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around" - Frosty The Snowman

Christmas "Angel"
| Just Call Him "Angel" |
This one is for all you Buffy The Vampire Slayer fans, like me. You know it's tradition to use an Angel as a Christmas Tree topper, correct?
Well I am curious as to how many Buffy fans top their tree off with "Angel" as illustrated here.
Hey, it's the way I top off my tree, please tell me I'm not alone in this. I can't imagine I am.
Remember Christmas comes but once a year, but being a slayer lasts every day all year, every year.
Now if you'll excuse me time to dust off my "Angel" and put him on my tree.
“If We Could Live Without Passion, Maybe We’d Truly Know Some Kind Of Peace. But We Would Be Hollow. Empty Rooms, Shuttered, And Dank. Without Passion, We’d Truly Be Dead.” - Angel, Buffy The Vampire Slayer

People Who Don't Read "People"
Whilst I never read People Magazine I do follow them on Instagram as it is part of my job to keep up with current events.
People Magazine covers a variety of things and raises awareness for lesser heard stories of, well, people. They aren't just a celebrity centric publication.
Thus when this byline came up in my Instagram feed they lost some of my respect for publishing this "utter nonsense" the other day.
Honestly all this does is lower their standards to that of the current administration. I would expect a lesser publication to have posted this, but People???
As you can see by the screenshot above I voiced my opinion. It has garnered 104 likes so far, obviously I am not alone in my take on it.
One astute comment said "they publish anything with Taylor Swifts name in it"
While I am sure this is the case...Dear People how low can you go?

"I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
Everybody's chillin' as I set up the groove
Pumpin' up the volume with this brand new beat
Everybody's dancin' and their dancin' for me" - Get The Party Started, Pink

Hump Day & Chill
It's Christmas time in the city, the city of Los Angeles to be exact. Guess what this means?! "Yes" over the top Christmas decor and the elaborate promotion of Holiday Movies.
Hey, presents are the only thing they want you to spend coin on during the season. Thus let us Hump Day & Chill to Hollywood, hurray for Hollywood!
For me I love walking down the street and seeing a side of a building done up to promote a movie. It's part of the magic of living in the heart of it all. Trust me there is about one on every corner.
While running errands in Hollywood the other day I was walking down the street and there it was complete with Uber Lime Bikes as accessories a side of a building promoting the latest Knives Out Mystery "Wake Up Dead Man"
In the immortal words of Pee Wee Herman I took a picture so it would last longer.
Good thing I did, Hump Day & Chill Minions!

What If Sabrina Carpenter Made Grunge Pop Music???
![]() |
| Guess Who? |
What if Sabrina Carpenter made grunge pop music? Think about it, but not too much because I have an answer to the question.
She would sound like the Tender Misfit. Lyrically they are basically kindred spirits (refer to the image above) I've heard Tears Minions!
What's that you are asking? Oh, so you want to know what a "Tender Misfit" is? Well now, I believe that can be remedied by hitting the links below.
No need to thank me, you can simply spank me. Or something to that effect...
Mic Drop!
