Hump Day & Chill

Barbie & Ken
Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling

As the Barbie Movie train is roaring full steam ahead into it's opening weekend and I've made no secret about my desire to see it. Well guess what Minions?! It's more Hump Day & Chill Barbie Movie fun!

"Yes" I have already purchased my ticket for the 1:20 showing at Alamo Drafthouse in downtown Los Angeles. Can't wait to kick back imbibe a margarita and let the good times roll.

This image is giving me Barbie and Ken life! Barbie looks sad to be arrested whilst Ken, seems to think it is a lark of some sort.

Advanced word is the movie is a great and no one seeing it will be disappointed in the least.

Thus you are getting one last Hump Day & Chill to the Barbie Movie before it officially opens. However if I end up loving it as much as I think I will, well now..."Yes" there will be more where that came from!!!

PS I wish Ryan Gosling was my personal Ken Doll!

43 Years Ago Today...

On July 18, 1980 one of the most 80's of all slasher flicks was released Prom Night this was one of the many post Halloween horror flicks starring the Scream Queen du jour Jamie Lee Curtis. "Yes" that Jamie Lee Curtis who won an Oscar last year for Everything, Everywhere All At Once. Once upon a time she was the reigning Queen of Terror.

I watched this again not too long ago because I wondered what I would think of it as an adult type of person that I am now (I was a teenager when it came out) sure it's dated, quite cheesy in places, but it's a fun time capsule as it is so of it's era, as I stated above: "the most 80's of all slasher flicks."

Catch the trailer below and you will understand why I say that. It's really a major reason it's still fun to watch.

Jump to the trailer below and let the 80's slasher flick vibe transport you!!!

PS I dig that mega cheese theme song, it's so lame it's good.

Monday Motivation

Love this quote from Albert Einstein, it sums up how I am about the world around me: "Passionately Curious."

It's what drives me to engage with everything that surrounds me, my curiosity is one of my main life forces.

Thus your Monday Motivation assignment is to be "Passionately Curious" like yours truly.

It's an amazing way to absorb and process everything you encounter throughout the day, trust me and enjoy your Monday!

Tender Misfit

Last night I had the pleasure of catching Ariel Beesley aka Tender Misfit live at Record Safari in Atwater Village.

Update: David Archuleta

David Archuleta’s upward spiral continues with the official release of his brand new music video HERE for his latest single, “I’m Yours” HERE “I’m Yours” is a song I wanted to get people dancing and smiling to. It’s all about letting yourself go and being happy with a feel good, summery vibe. It was fun working with video director Brad Hammer and his team because they were able to bring all the bright colors I wanted to life while making things light, fun and unique. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I had fun making it” says David.

David recently spoke about what’s on the horizon musically with Entertainment Weekly – “Up” it’s kind of like the prelude. It’s meant to tie where I’m coming from, my past, my history — but it’s also coming from a place where I was at the bottom of that, at the end of that path. I’ve lived out the end of this, and I don’t know where else to go. This is continuing down a very dark place, and I need to get out of it now. So this is me saying, I’m accepting myself as I am, as a queer person, and letting myself be seen, every aspect of myself. And I’m just letting all of me be seen now. And not being so afraid of hiding myself and being afraid of what people will say if people find out. I’m just like, you know what, now they know! And now it’s just moving up, and I’m gonna have fun. There’s no need to hide anything anymore — just have a good time.  There are some really fun songs that are gonna get people dancing as well, that I’m really excited about. And there are still some classic ballads. I feel like these songs are more about love, something that I always shied away from before because it was something I didn’t relate to. I don’t think I ever really experienced love the way everyone talks about in songs and novels and all that. I’m talking about what it’s like for me to experience it for the first time really and fully. I’m excited to share that, in fun ways, dance ways, and also in ballad-y ways. I’m excited to share this new chapter and these new songs with everyone. The first ones will be out the beginning of summer, leading to a full album release later this year.

In addition, David is set to perform at his first-ever Pride event this Sunday, July 16 in San Diego California alongside Saucy Santana and Princess Nokia - Event Info Here.  ”As this will be my first formal pride performance (outside of Utah’s Loveloud last year) I am looking forward to connecting with the community and learning about what pride events are like. As this will also be my first time attending in a way outside of Loveloud, which is more catered to the Utah culture and community there.”

One Week From Today, The World Forever Changes...

"Yes" Minions one week from today the world forever changes. Barbenheimer will be upon us and what happens in the wake of this remains to be seen. All I know is I can't wait! 

The only two movies I had any interest in seeing this summer of course had to open on the same day. It is a blessed event for sure!

Will I be seeing them both on the same day as many are? No, I believe Barbie clocks in at almost two hours and Oppenheimer is three. Too much movie in one day for this guy.

Friday opening day matinee of Barbie for me and then Monday matinee of Oppenheimer is my plan.

What are your plans for the day the world forever changes???

Michael's Musings

Constant Stimulation
Michael Shinafelt 

Recently it has been brought to my attention that I tend to need constant stimulation. While I don't think this the whole story I do believe it to be true to some extent. I'm here to let you all know, right here, right now, one of the best gifts you can give yourself is the gift of meditation.

Put the phone down, don't turn on the TV and simply switch off! "Yes" it's that simple and quite beneficial I might add. As soon as I have completed this weeks musings I'm going to do exactly that. Time to move onward...

Saw the documentary about Wham! on Netflix. While hardly revelatory it was very nostalgic for me. "Yes" I am that many years old.

Barbenheimer, Barbenheimer, Barbenheimer that's all I ever hear!!!

Repressing murderous rage with sugar, just sayin'

Eat, Sleep, Voodoo - priorities

Jesus drove a Honda, but he never spoke of it because he "did not speak of his own accord"

The next stage in my healing journey? Running around calling people c#nts

Congrats to Vanderpump Rules on it's first Emmy Nomination, a well deserved one I might add, and I just did

Please do not feed the whores, the more you know...

Woman Crush of the Week - Courtney Love, because Live Through This is one of the greatest albums ever made IMHO. "Yes" I've been listening to it lately, it's real and spectacular!!!

Twitter seems awfully tipsy of late

Speaking of Twitter is there any hot ne place all the cool kids are migrating to yet? Not a passing fancy place an actual hub.

Please stop trying to be like everyone else. You don't even like everyone else

How many witches does it take to change a light bulb? Depends what you want it changed into I'm guessing

Now is the time
