Under My Umbrella

Friends Forever
Big Bird & Mr. Snuffleupagus 

"When the sun shine, we shine together

Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella" - Rihanna, Umbrella 

Big Bird & Mr. Snuffleupagas Forever Friends!

In Case You Were Wondering

Even though I mentioned it in this weeks "Musings" column in case you were wondering I wanted to make my position on Free Speech infinitely clear.

Any Questions? I thought not.

Have a groovy weekend!

Just Because...

Just Because it's a cool image, Just Because I love horror and mainly Just Because it's a scant 42 Days until Halloween and I am feeling it. Here are two skeletons relaxing by the fire at home....you're welcome!

This is where my head is at on Friday September 19th 2025, go figure, or not.

Enjoy your weekend...TGIF!

Michael's Musings

"I Wanna Make A Supersonic Man Outta You"

"I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars on a collision course

I am a satellite, I'm out of control
I'm a sex machine ready to reload like an atom bomb
About to whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, explode" - Queen, Having A Good Time

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel

Wig slipping clown mamas, discuss...

If I knew then what I know now, I would've stayed strangers with a lot of people, that's all

Laid up recovering from foot surgery and binging Nashville on Netflix, I'd forgotten what a well done show it really is (Yes, I saw it when it initially aired)

Stop thinking we're enemies. I don't care about you

When someone upsets you tell them to F.O.C.U.S (F#ck Off Cuz Ur Stupid)

Superman drops on HBO Max today "Kind is the new punk" indeed

And so it begins, I hope it ends well...

Woman Crush of the Week - being that I'm binging Nashville it's Connie Britton. Pitch perfect as Rayna Jaymes, she truly anchors the entire show!

I finally quit drinking for good, now I only drink for evil, think about it, but not too much

People who "don't understand" same sex relationships make me laugh, because I don't understand Korean but I still know it's a real language, so there!

When you see people your ex has been bangin' and you think: Damn, I couldn't trust you around ugly people either

I've never cared for Kristin Chenoweth, I have good instincts, the more you know

Off to my official spot for the day the living room couch, that's correct Minions I am binging things all day because I can't do anything else for a while post foot surgery

Wanna binge with me? Contact me here -

Hump Day & Chill

Silence of the Lambs
l-r
Jodie Foster, Ted Levine & Brooke Smith

Today is all about being cool, it is Hump Day & Chill after all. No matter how cool you think you are you will never be as cool as Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) Jame Gumb (Ted Levine) and Catherine Martin (Brooke Smith) hanging out behind the scenes while shooting the classic Silence of the Lambs.

From the looks of this shot it seems like they were taking a chill during a shoot at Jame's lair. Oh, alright his house, but lair sounds much more foreboding, does it not???

Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite films. I haven't seen it as many times as several of you have I am guessing, but four is a good number and I'd view it again many more times over schedule and opportunity permitting.

Hump Day & Chill...and be cool, don't be uncool!

"Screamityville"

On October 14, Borderline Media proudly presents Screamityville on Blu-ray, DVD, and select digital platforms. The film invites you to take a hauntingly fun tour of Halloween-themed houses, from the same creators who brought you Christmas Lights, Christmas Lights 2: Bigger Dazzling Displays, and Christmas Lights 3: Winter Wonderlights.  

Screamityville shows off dozens of spectacular homes, each fully decked out to celebrate the thrills and chills of Halloween. These homeowners have taken things far beyond simply placing a pumpkin on the porch. Numerous front yards are covered in elaborate and overwhelming displays of tombstones, skeletons, jack-o-lanterns, humongous spiders, ghastly ghouls, and anything else that goes bump in the night. A wicked clown house will reinforce your suspicions and phobias. Glowing ghosts float through the trees and creepy cemeteries. Cobwebs, smoke, and strobe lights enhance the gory and horrifying effects that turn sweet suburban front yards into supernatural wonderlands.  

The 84-minute tour is brought to life with spooky atmospheric music and chilling sound effects, perfect for your Halloween-themed party. There are no interviews or narration to interrupt the spooky displays as the camera explores the array of undead marvels. Viewers will find themselves amazed, shocked, and inspired by the sights and sounds of Screamityville.
