Killer Friday

 

Michael Caine & Nancy Allen
Dressed To Kill

• 
  
• Liz Blake: "He closes the door, locks it, and takes out a razor. He says he's not going to hurt me. Then he tells me what he's going to do to me and how much I'm going to like it. All the time he's talking, I can see the bulge in his pants. He orders me to strip. I do it, keeping one eye on the razor. He drops his pants, forces me down, on my stomach. He spreads my legs, kneels down behind me and rests the cold blade." - Dressed To Kill, Brian De Palma 1980

It's Donut Time!

Chief Clancy Wiggum

TGIF! Today happens to be National Donut Day! "Yes" that greasy, yet hard to resist confection that people consume in mass quantities gets it's due.

So who better to represent than donut connoisseur Police Chief Clancy Wiggum straight outta The Simpsons.

Of course he got them at Springfield's local Lard Lad Donut's.

As Chief Wiggum would say: "Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?"  

Today's Secret Word is: Grease!

"For The Birds"

Alfred Hitchcock
&
Friends 

What's happening currently in this country is "For The Birds"... Alfred Hitchcock knew this back in 1963 when he released his classic The Birds. 

Here is the meaning of the phrase: 

The idiom "for the birds" means that something is worthless, trivial, nonsensical, or a complete waste of time. If someone dismisses an idea or a situation as being "for the birds"

Spend what you use your time and energy on wisely and make the most of things.

Remember your life is not "for the birds"

"We Got The Beat"

The Go-Go's

"Go-go music really makes us dance

Do the pony puts us in a trance
Do the watusi just give us a chance
That's when we fall in line

'Cause we got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat, yeah
We got it" - The Go-Go's, We Got Beat

The Go-Go's is one of my all time favorite bands. Their Freshman album Beauty and the Beat 1981 contained the fun times anthem We Got The Beat. It's still a dance staple today.

Get the beat this weekend...TGIF!

MacArthur Park

Kristi Noem

"MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no"  - Donna Summer, MacArthur Park

Wine Not?

Photo:
Michael Shinafelt

It's the most stressful time of the year...let's face the Holiday Season is not always the most wonderful time of the year. It has elements of wonderful, but not all the time, stress is a major part of the season as well.

Well Minions it's Friday and I pose this question to you: "Wine Not?" 

"Yes" it's time for some wine to sooth your jingled nerves and to keep the bells from ringing in your head.

As you can see I am already working on my bottle of Chardonnay and quite enjoying not being amongst the masses on the busy sidewalks etc.

TIGF! Imbibe with me, won't you?

Cheers!

Current Mood

Betty White

The late great Betty White seen here providing her answer to the question on Match Game sums up how I feel about the current state of our union. 

Also it adds some levity to our collective lives as well and reflects my Current Mood on every level.

It's times like these that make me wish Betty was still around to make us all laugh.

TGIF! Live and Laugh!

Here's Looking At You...

Daryl Hannah

Pris

Well it's Friday blah, blah, blah...etc... 

You know what that means we're headed into another weekend of the great unknown. Hey, adventures are always fun because they are full of surprises!

This image of Daryl Hannah as Pris in Bladerunner caught my attention whilst surfing the web this past week.

It's so evocative and captures the vibe I'm am getting from the energy in the universe, right here, right now.

Hello Dum-Dum

The Great Gazoo!

"Starships were meant to fly, Hands up and touch the sky" - Nicki Minaj, Starships

TGIF! Look it's The Great Gazoo here to impart us with words of wisdom heading into the weekend.

"Yes" these days "Hello Dum-Dum" actually qualify as words of wisdom. If you can't wrap your head around why, well then I guess you...well, never mind.

What's that you say? Who is The Great Gazoo?! Well let me tell ya about The Great Gazoo!

"The Great Gazoo, or simply Gazoo, is a fictional character from the animated series The Flintstones. He first appeared on the show on October 29, 1965. The Great Gazoo was voiced by actor Harvey Korman."

Gazoo would always greet Fred Flintstone & Barney Rubble by saying "Hello Dum-Dum" 

Are you getting the picture now? I suspect you are...

Life Is A Mystery...

Madonna

Do you like mysteries? Good because today you are getting one I tell you what. 

I'm feeling this image of the Madonna today all hail the Queen of Pop! For several reasons mainly in what it speaks to me myself and I.

There is your mystery today I'm not going to tell you what thoughts and emotions this striking photo gives me. I'm sure you have a clue, but not the big picture. Let's just say it evokes some very strong ones about the state of the world, that's all you need to know. 

Now it's time to get on with it and sally forth into Friday...or not. 

TGIF & Such!
