Seen In The Hood

"City sidewalks, busy sidewalks.

Dressed in holiday style

In the air

There’s a feeling

of Christmas" - Silver Bells

It's happening again, every year post Thanksgiving in my hood in the immortal battle cry of Mariah Carey "It's Tiiime!"

"Yes" Minions the Christmas decor has begun. Here is my favorite thus far it belongs to the neighbor two doors down from where I live.

It's tasteful, pleasing to the eyes and honestly the display could stay up all winter as they are not so specific to Christmas but more to the season. "Winter Lights" if you please.

Gird your loins the onslaught has begun!

Words To The Wise

Michael Shinafelt

Today I'm feeling myself and one of the things I feel is wise. Thus I'm going to bequeath with these sage words.

Live them, own them and be them.

Seize the day!

That's all...

IYKYK

Well it's the official start of the Christmas Season Minions and instead of Black Friday I'm going kick it off with a meme.

If you've seen the classic A Christmas Story and are familiar with the band KISS then this one will start your season with a laugh.

For the uninitiated, well you are on your own.

IYKYK...Ho ho ho!

Michael's Musings

All I Wanna Do, Is Make A Meal Of You
Michael Shinafelt

"I eat cannibal

Feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me
I eat cannibals

I eat cannibal
It's incredible
You bring out the animal in me
I eat cannibals" - I Eat Cannibals, Toto Coelo 

Happy Thanksgiving Minions!

FYI I can get you on the naughty list, the more you know...

I don't "do" revenge because losing someone like me is enough, that's all

An all new Exorcist is in the works with horror auteur Mike Flanagan at the helm and Scarlett Johansson set to star. I'm in!

How does Godzilla bake his Thanksgiving Turkey? Think about it, but not too much

On this day of feasting remember you need to give thanks and "to serve man" IYKYK  Hint: The Twilight Zone

Saw Wicked For Good yesterday...loved it as much as I loved the first one and that's saying something!

Don't forget to give thanks for the "Slutty Moments" in your life

Woman Crush of the Week - Ariana Grande so good in the first Wicked. We are completely under her spell in Wicked For Good

Sometimes people must be escorted from the VIP section of your life to a regular seat

In case you ever thought differently, I am not a yo-yo! Thank you.

Something I'm thankful for? Jonathan Groff reveals he will be performing in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade without any underwear. Yeah, I'm tuning in just for that!

We were taught to fear witches instead of the people who burned them.. and that is the problem

I'm going to do some major gobbling today, that's all you need to know

Hump Day & Chill

Nikki Glaser

'Twas the Hump Day & Chill before Thanksgiving and what do I see? Why it's Nikki Glaser basting a turkey! Because of course Nikki uses turkey basters!

Honestly how much of a blast would it be to hang with Ms. Glaser on Turkey Day?! I ask you? On second thought, don't answer. I would want her all to myself she's so damn funny!

"Yes" Nikki is one of my favorite comedians from her Golden Globe hosting gig to her HBO Specials. Also let's not forget her notorious appearance as the host on Saturday Night Live recently.

She knows just how far to take something and still make it laughable.

Thus let's give a Hump Day & Chill toast to Ms. Nikki Glaser and her turkey baster...

Cheers!

Just Because...Alexander Skarsgard

Alexander Skarsgard

Here's a photo of Alexander Skarsgard grabbing his nether regions "Just Because"

Also I used to swoon over him as Eric Northman on HBO's True Blood "Just Because"

When he played Nicole Kidman's abusive husband on Big Little Lies he still managed to be a sympathetic monster "Just Because"

He also starred in one of my favorite films Lars von Trier's Melancholia "Just Because"

Be sure to check yourself before you wreck yourselves today Minions "Just Because"

Squad Goals

Puttin' On The Ritz
The Cast & Some Crew 
of
Wicked For Good

This is one resplendent photo op. The cast of Wicked For Good with some of the behind the scenes wizards added for good measure.

I'm hitting the world famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood Wednesday to catch the spectacle of it all in IMAX...I can't wait!

Never have I ever seen a more stylish cast.

Squad Goals, indeed...
