Elf Off

And what to my wandering eyes did appear than Pee Wee Herman and Beetlejuice setting fire to Elf on the Shelf! 

Browsing the WWW trying to get into the Christmas Spirit and came across this heartwarming image. "Yes" it makes my heart happy to see Elf on the Shelf being fed to the flame, what can I say, I'm a kid at heart.

Also it combines my love of Halloween and the macabre with a season I really don't care for, thus it's a win/win thing.

So since Sunday Funday is on, let's celebrate it with an elf take down, shall we? We shall!!!

Hello December...

Ho, ho, ho it's December 1st 2023 Minions. That means it's a scant 24 days until Christmas and today being the first is World AIDS Day.

To kick off my Birthday month (it's the 18th in case you were wondering) I thought that I would post this meme with John Hamm and Sharon Stone that sums up my feelings heading into 2024.

Hey, it's my new mantra, in fact I meditated this morning and chanted it in my head whilst doing so.

Basically it's a clever way of stating we are all going to get in our own way from time to time. Where's the lie? I ask you, as usual I'm waiting for you to answer (sigh)

Thus on these notes, let us welcome December with open arms and legs.

Always Remember...World AIDS Day

Michael's Musings

Michael Shinafelt

From the looks of things it seems like Santa hit the nail on the proverbial head and is bringing me the perfect gift this Christmas: Peace Of Mind. "Yes" I really do need it after what has been quite a challenging year.

Wishing upon a star the jolly one does not let me down and bring me a lump of coal or something..Ho Ho Ho! 

Move over Elf on a Shelf, make way for Dolly on a Tamale!!!

I am too magical for your BS, the more you know...

The Bible said you're a bitch, that's all

Finally saw Tom Ford's A Single Man (better late then never) it was great and then some!

Kelli Giddish is back on the premiere episode of Law & Order: SVU! Why can't they just admit they made a mistake letting her go and bring her permanently back?!

I just told my cat there's no God, yeah, there's that

The two old guys in the balcony on The Muppets are why many of us grew up so sarcastic 

Our best self is a lifetime's quest...

Woman Crush of the Week - Dolly Parton for her amazing rock album, Rockstar!!!

That time you merely replied mentally and never sent a message

Don't ever apologize for loving the strange things that make your weird little heart happy

Hump Day & Chill

Kylie Jenner

"What Are We Talking About?" is a meme I spied online made from one of Kylie Jenner's photos for her current chat with Jennifer Lawrence in Interview Magazine. While I'm not quite sure why the meme was made we are going to Hump Day & Chill to it because I said so.

Here's the why: many times when we converse, especially in groups, conversation can, and usually gets lost in translation. Inevitably at some point someone is left wondering "What Are We Talking About?" 

So this is a Hump Day & Chill dedicated to those moments that we all have, and a reminder that it's OK to get lost in a piled on discussion amongst friends, family, whatever, etc...

The next time you are feeling confused don't be afraid to say it loud, say it proud and well simply, say it, say it!

Hump Day & Chill Minions and be sure to do it by uttering the phrase "What Are We Talking About?" at least once today, you know you will feel the need to.
