Michael's Musings

I Want To Play A Game...
Michael Shinafelt

So tomorrow is fittingly Friday The 13th, of course one landed in the middle of Spooky Season, as it should. A friend is coming over not to celebrate it per se but we are going to celebrate it since that is the day he can make it.

I hope our luck doesn't run out tomorrow night, if it does...bring it, and another glass of wine.

I noticed everything, I just acted like I didn't, so there!

Crinkle Cut Fries, ribbed for your pleasure, you're welcome...

Stay away from the ferns, they hate humans

Almost finished binging Red Hot Cherry Flavor on Netflix. Two more episodes to go. That show gets weirder as it progresses 

I would not be surprised to read a headline that goes like this: Taylor Swift Walks On Water 

Finally caught The Strangers there was some really good stuff in it, unfortunately it got bogged down by the really cliche things that were in it. What could have been a great horror movie was rendered merely OK

There was a squirrel staring at my window from the next door neighbors balcony with an evil look in it's eyes...Ugh! I hate squirrels!

Favorite Thing I Saw Online recently - Cardi B makes music for women that shoplift at yard sales LOL!

Woman Crush of the Week - The most underrated Final Girl Amy Steel who was so great in Friday The 13th Part 2

I have no desire to hear one more damned thing about Will and Jada Pinkett Smith and their relationship. I don't know who the people are that actually do

Where can I watch American Psycho? I feel a need to view it again, I love that movie!!!

19 days until Halloween...

When I have insomnia I always watch The King Of Queens love me some Leah Remini

And now I'm going to pull a rabbit out of my...

Hump Day & Chill

I'm Coming Out!
Michael Shinafelt

It's National Coming Out Day a most excellent reason to Hump Day & Chill! 

Being that it is Spooky Season and such, I am coming out of the closet like Jack Nicolson in The Shining. Hey someone had to do it, why not me?

"Yes" at this point and juncture in my life I have been out for quite some time. For those of you who are still struggling with this, know you are supported, loved and that you've got this. 

It truly does get better.

Thus let's celebrate coming out by having a terrific Hump Day & Chill!!!

The Legend Of Ice-T: Crime Stories

MVD Entertainment and Ruffnation Entertainment are proud to announce the November 3rd release of Ice-T's The Legend of Ice-T: Crime Stories, a limited edition 3-LP set on 180 gram audiophile-grade vinyl. 

Ice-T announced the release with an unboxing video on his Instagram account to his 1.2M followers, and he posted a video on his X account, which generated almost 190k views.

Chris Schwartz, owner of Ruffnation Entertainment, stated, “When you look at the volume of artists brought to us via hip-hop culture, there have been less than a handful who have true multi-generational appeal. Ice-T is hip-hop's first breakthrough actor, spokesperson, and chronicler.”  

  

Ice-T is the original embodiment of LA hip-hop and a cultural icon who helped popularize gangster rap. Ice-T's Crime Stories features some of the most powerful songs from his catalog, as well as some lesser-known and previously unreleased material. Through his music, his books, and his lecture tours of America's prisons, high schools, libraries, and colleges (including Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford), Ice-T has become an influential spokesman for America's youth, regardless of color.   

His first break came when the producers of the film Breakin' asked him to rap in the movie. He went on to become rap music's preeminent gangster, writing songs like "Six in the Mornin" and "New Jack Hustler." Ice-T formed Rhyme Syndicate Records in 1989 and released a string of groundbreaking West Coast rap records. His 1991 self-titled debut contained the controversial single "Cop Killer." His group Body Count was the most critically acclaimed act on the highly successful 1991 Lollapalooza tour. Ice-T currently stars in NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as Detective Odafin Tutuola.

Hello Monday...

Ghostface

Happy Monday! Ha ha ha ha!!! Since Halloween draws nigh I thought we would start our week with a very important question that's correct Minions "What's your favorite scary movie?" 

It also happens to be the signature line of Ghostface straight outta one of the most successful horror franchises ever, the Scream movies.

Today think of me as your own personal Ghostface. If you don't answer correctly you will have a terrible week.

Here are the three questions you must answer or, well your week is going to suck! 

1) Name the horror movie that featured the Bauhaus song Bela Lugosi's Dead 

2) Whose baby has his "father's eyes"

3) Name the sister Michael Myers kills in the opening of the original 1978 Halloween

Don't take too long to answer, additional penalties may apply....

Halloween Eagle

Halloween Eagle

We all know the US has the Bald Eagle as it's official bird. Well I think that the Crow should have a name change to Halloween Eagle.

Think about it, but not too much. The Crow symbolizes fear and gives one a feeling of unease. Not to mention it's incessant cawing. Thus the perfect official bird for Spooky Season, and deserving of a much loftier name that commands the respect they compel during this most wonderful time of the year and all year round.

So call  them Crows if you must, but I don't have time for that noise. 

I hereby moniker them the Halloween Eagle from this day forward. Join me in the revelry won't you?

In 24 More Days...

Channeling Elsa...
Kylie Jenner

What's the fun of Spooky Season if we can't have a Halloween Countdown flown in on a broom occasionally for good measure? I ask you? I'm waiting as usual...

Say what you will, or won't, or better yet say nothing at all about Kylie Jenner seen here as The Bride of Frankenstein. 

For those of you not in the know the Bride of Frankenstein is a 1935 film starring Elsa Lanchester as, well, The Bride. I saw it for the first time a few years ago, there is a reason it's considered a classic of cinema, it's terrific! Highly recommended for any lover of horror out there.

Kylie's homage as a sexier version of The Bride to me is dead on (no pun intended, or perhaps it was) - So with only 24 more days left, join Kylie and myself as we get in the spirit of the season.

It's the most wonderful time of the year after all...Boo!

Current Mood

The Church Lady

It's the first Friday of Spooky Season and I thought this signature line from Dana Carvey as The Church Lady straight outta SNL fit the Current Mood of the day.

Well now isn't that special? Of course it is, because during this most wonderful time of the year when anything goes you have to ask yourself "Could it be Satan?!" because you know deep in the darkest regions of your soul it could very well be the Prince of Darkness.

Ya know something I believe I am simply going to leave you with this sentiment and send you off on your demonic ways Minions. 

That's all...
