And This Cross Is Your...

"And this curve, is your smile, And this cross, is your heart, And this line, is your path" Red Shoes, Kate Bush

It's only the second day post my bunion surgery and it feels like an eternity. I have been for the most part off my feet per Drs. orders. Also having erratic sleep patterns and lack of appetite. For someone who is usually very active as I am this is not the best case scenario. It's not the worst either. My mantra "This line is your path"...

Imagine a world where air came to earth in balloons, 99 red ones to be exact

Go Speed Racist, Go!

On a lighter "Go" note "Go Flash Go" from the 1980 camp classic Flash Gordon (for those who are young)

Big Little Lies season two finale this Sunday...can't wait!

Remember when you were reading your History Books and couldn't wrap your head around how Nazi Germany happened? 

Did you hear? They are going to reopen a hair gel mine in Kentucky? Now THIS is what Fake News is

In case you care the Emmy Nominations were announced yesterday, doesn't it now seem so far away?

Caught Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! on the rooftop of The Montalban Theater in Hollywood this past Friday. My first time seeing it on a big screen. It's bonkers! In case you are wondering that is a recommendation 😉

Woman Crush of the Week - Laura Dern, she puts the top in over the top on Big Little Lies

It is blue, it reminds me of you

Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? Oh wait, I don't have a cookie jar, nor do I buy cookies

Got Wine?

Big Brother apparently is airing and everyone is complaining about the disgusting contestants on Twitter. So whats your point???

I like to ride my bicycle, but at this point I'd settle to be able to get to Trader Joe's in an Uber

Are You There Leather? It's Me, Michael

It's the second day of November and aren't you happy??? Halloween came, and went, this year the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival was fun, because I was with friends. But lackluster in terms of costumes and smelling like ween spirit.

Translation? I did not see one motherf#cking person in celebratory dress that I wanted to photograph or be photographed with.

Yep, time to pull my broomstick out and stick it up someone else's ass!

Thirty days has September, April, June & November - the more you know

Oh what a feeling when we're dancing on the ceiling!

80's music was plentiful at this year's Halloween Carnival in West Hollywood. Not sure why that was, but this ghoul likey!

"And this curve, is your smile, And this cross, is your heart, And this line, is your path" - Kate Bush, Red Shoes

Wendy Williams collapses. While I wish no one ill will, I really can't think of a woman more deserving. Think about why I chose the word woman instead of person, but not too much.

I saw an ecstatic headline on E! about Starbuck's unveiling their new Holiday cups. Seriously?! 

Last time I checked I weighed in at a mighty 197, down 16 lbs. from 213. I have been so on the run this week and not to the gym, yet eating healthy on the fly I wonder what the tally will be Saturday before spin. I say I lost, not gained. Place your bets!

Sometimes you feel like a slut, sometimes you don't. Pick which one I'm feeling today

Nicole Kidman vows to work with a female Director every 18 months - Just Sayin' 

Headline: Dustin Hoffman sexually harassed me when I was seventeen. Yeah, I know, most of you reading this are like, Dustin Whoman? 

Pussy Man

Dear Kevin Spacey, you are a coward, your House of Cards is going to fall!

Every time I see the "Fake News" it makes me want carrot juice - it's really not that ambiguous of a statement


TMI - Now that the weather is getting cooler I'm starting to put on underwear

There is an image on Wikipedia of Kathy Griffin when you pull up the word: Desperate

Video: Kate Bush "Wild Man"

OK, this is not an official video, it was fan made and Kate's label approved it, thus, I am a fan so I am posting it. R U following me so far? Yeah? Awesome..!

Harkening back to my love of Kate is not hard to trace. I was in a drama group in college and was at a party for said group cut to, prententious class actress with bleached blonde hair and black lipstick and goth make-up, she takes a drag off of her cigarette: "Michael, have you ever heard of Kate Bush"? Me: "Uh, no."

Dragging dramatically again: "I think you would like her, you should really give her a listen". Well, pretentious drama classmate, thanks! I did listen and I liked her, make that love her, and I still do to this day! I can't wait for her "50 Words For Snow" album to drop on November 21st....in the meantime, here is the fan video for the first single "Wild Man"....
