No full "Musings" column this week it will be back after the New Year. Speaking of 2024 I've noticed something different is in the air as 2023 draws to it's close...
Not a single person has said 2024 is going to be my year on Social Media. I see that everyone has learned their lesson.
Indeed!
Keep up with me all year round here -

It's that time again, or as I like to call it purgatory. You know the time between Christmas and New Year's Eve that is less than a week so you really don't want to commit to anything and most likely have the time off. So let's act accordingly Minions and Hump Day & Chill with one Ms. Tiffany Valentine!
"Yes" the notorious Tiffany from Chucky fame is here to school us in the ways of Hump Day & Chill with a martini in one hand (gin straight up two olives for me) and a cigarette in the other (hard pass on the cancer stick here.)
Tiffany is played to perfection by Jennifer Tilly in the Chucky film series and the just wrapped second half of season three of Chucky the TV Series.
While she doesn't think were alone now, the character of Tiffany was a much needed boost to Chucky. Personally I find the TV Series better than the actual movies.
So there you have it and aren't you happy?!?! Get down with Ms. Valentine and Hump Day & Chill before it's too late!!!

| Blowfuse |
Influenced by 80’s and 90’s punk rock waves and the skateboard lifestyle, Blowfuse crafts a style all its own, mixing the aggressiveness of hardcore punk, the catchy melodies of 90’s punk rock, the powerful classic rock riffs, with acidic and paranoid lyrics.
The new single "Move On" is the first off the band's upcoming 4th studio album 'The 4th Wall' out March 1st, 2024.
"Move On is a call to action and change. Its direct message conveys a sense of empowerment and the necessity of freeing oneself from the past to find a new direction in life.", says singer Oscar Puig. "The detrimental habit of complaining and self-pitying won't do anything but increase frustration. Only by accepting reality and taking responsibility can you navigate towards a new direction."
"Move On" is otu now via SBÄM, HFMN Crew, Epidemic Records and Infected Records.

Christmas on Wikipedia -
THIEF. WARRIOR. GLADIATOR. KING. Ripped from the pages of Robert E. Howard's beloved pulp stories, and brought to the screen by maverick director John Milius, Conan the Barbarian is one of the most beloved fantasy-action adventures in Hollywood history, which not only popularized a new subgenre - the sword-and-sorcery film - but also made a cinematic icon of its star, former bodybuilding sensation Arnold Schwarzenegger. In an ancient land, young Conan witnesses his family being slaughtered by an evil snake cult ransacking his village. Raised as a slave, the adult Conan (Schwarzenegger) rises up through the fighting pits, becoming an unparalleled and fearsome warrior. Unexpectedly freed, Conan and his companions - two fighters, Subotai (Gerry Lopez) and Valeria (Sandahl Bergman), as well as a Wizard (Mako) - are enlisted by King Osric (Max von Sydow) to free his daughter from the hypnotic clutches of the same cult that murdered Conan's family long ago, led by the shape-shifting sorcerer Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones). Crom has commanded it: at long last, Milius' glorious ode to the days of high adventure (co-written by Oliver Stone) has been restored in glorious 4K with hours of bonus features and a heart-racing Atmos remix that immerses you in the action, accompanied throughout by an electrifying, career-best score by the late Basil Poledouris (RoboCop). If you do not listen... then to hell with you!
