Michael's Musings

Can't You See, You Belong To Me?
Michael Shinafelt

"Every breath you take

And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you"  - Every Breath You Take, The Police

What if we kissed and all my teeth fell into your mouth? Discuss...

Been binging Riverdale on Netflix. Never saw it when it first came out, on season three currently enjoying it so far

Only fragile egos fear equality, the more you know

Do you ever think about how may vampires have been run over by people who backup just using their mirrors?

To those who want "All English" for the Superbowl Half Time Show, let's have Robert De Niro do a dramatic reading of the Epstein Files

Pour yourself a drink and pull yourself together, it's going to be a bumpy night

Went and saw Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another at Quentin Tarantino's Vista Theater in Hollywood, in Vista Vision. I love PT Anderson's films and this one is no exception!

Who else is experiencing life presently at several WTF's per hour?! 

Woman Crush of the Week - Since I have been binging Riverdale Lili Reinhart who is perfection as Betty Cooper in it

I identify as trouble, my pronouns are who/me?

So if mediums can communicate with the dead, I wonder what a large could do???

I can't wait for my recovery process post foot surgery to cross the finish line

Pretend you are erasing the evidence of a murder while cleaning the bathroom. You'll do a better job and it actually becomes fun, that's all

Today's activity: sit on the couch with my foot elevated and stream

Legendary

What Becomes A Legend Most?
Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue

"I’ve been @nickcaveofficial ‘s Wild Rose for 30 years. I’ll be @nickcaveofficial ‘s Wild Rose forever.🌹❤️ Thank you Nick ❤️❤️❤️" - Kylie Minogue

"Yes" It's been 30 years since Kylie Minogue became Nick Cave's "Wild Rose"

For those of you not in the loop the duo made a haunting ballad together called Where The Wild Roses Grow for Nick's brilliant album Murder Ballads.

This is one of my favorite collaborations ever! Check out the lyrics -

"On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die."
And I leant down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day" 

Get the idea? Check out Kylie's version of Ophelia and watch the video after the jump!

Is He, Or Isn't He?

Alexander Skarsgard

There seems to be a some question as to whether Alexander Skarsgard recently came out as Bi-Sexual while promoting his gay love story Pillion to Variety.

Here's what he said:

“I mean, I do have a kid, but what I’ve done in the past, who I’ve been with, men, women … To me, what was important was that this felt like an opportunity to tell a story about a subculture I hadn’t seen portrayed this way – with so much authenticity.”

OK, I don't know about you, but there is no ambiguity in his statement. This is an outright admission, got it?

In the film Skarsgard's character Ray takes on a dominant/submissive relationship with a shy young gay man, Colin (Harry Melling), and ushers him into the world of kink.

"The Life Of A Showgirl"

Today is officially a celebration of Taylor Swift! In case you have been living in your own Private Idaho her 12th studio album The Life Of A Showgirl has dropped Minions.

I have always admired and liked Ms. Swift on a personal level. While I have liked a few of her songs I've never really gotten too excited over her music. 

Well that changed while I waited with much anticipation for her rift on the George Michael classic Father Figure.

The wait is over!!! I have heard it and from my perspective it's fantastic! 

However I did not have lyrics, like the ones excerpted from it above, on my bingo card coming straight outta one Ms. Taylor Swift. 

Call it her victory lap, or whatever you like, I love it!

PS Happy Mean Girls Day!
