Hump Day & Chill

Queen Kylie

It's mid-week and time for a little Tension relief, thus what better way to Hump Day & Chill than to have a martini with the Queen of Tension, Kylie Minogue!

Ms. Minogue is after all the highest selling Australian female artist of all time. Her singing career is 36 years young. "Yes" Minions Kylie has been churning out hit singles for that many years and then some.

Nothing like holding court with a Queen is there? I thought not.

Her current hit album is titled Tension, in case you didn't know. Thus my Tension references right out of the box. 

It's time now, grab yourself a martini (gin or vodka) and join Kylie in a Tension free Hump Day & Chill toast. We've made it to the middle and you've earned it!

The Cat and the Canary

Paul Leni directs one of the most influential films in the early history of genre cinema, which set the stage for the 1930s Universal horror cycle

Based upon the 1922 stage production by John Willard, The Cat and the Canary is a perfect blend of horror and black comedy and stands at the apex of a cycle of films adapted from mystery plays throughout the 1920s. It later inspired James Whale's The Old Dark House and has been remade several times - but never bettered.

About Last Night...

Went to the Precinct DTLA to support my buddy Rob while he Go Go danced on a box. This meme sums the evening up for yours truly.

Now how did I manage to get home?!

PS Not everything happens for a reason, sometimes it happens for fun!!!

Sunday Funday

Lazy Sunday
l-r
Me, Joe Waters & Rua

Last Sunday I was visiting my sister and her husband in my home state of WA. She caught this pseudo candid shot of us on the couch with their dog Rua (pseudo candid shot meaning we didn't know she was going to take it, but looked up when we saw the camera.) 

Hence Sunday Funday! Indeed it was, seriously what's better than drinking beer, laying on the couch and chilling with the TV on?! I ask you? Nothing I say!!!

Honestly I don't recall what we were watching, which means I wasn't interested and was on my phone LOL! But really it was all about hanging out, enjoying each other's company and relaxing.

Everyday should be like Sunday Funday!

Current Mood

Pamela Anderson & Her Gnome

This photo that I spotted on Pamela Anderson's Instagram spoke to me immediately, not sure exactly why, yet it did. 

Something about Pam and a gnome in the woods captured my Current Mood which at present is whimsical. 

I've been feeling the world of possibilites has opened up of late. There's a freshness in the energy that surrounds things that make them seem new again. When you see things through a different lens it's truly amazing how much more depth of perspective you have on it.

Thus Ms. Anderson and her magical gnome really struck where I am right here, right now.

Embrace change, it's what's life is about!
