Let's get medical. Corona, Corona, Corona that's all I ever hear! Thus I am giving playing Dr. vibes this week. Yeah, that's me with a stethoscope that's me in the spotlight now...whatever!!!

The difference between In-N-Out Burger and your opinion is asked for an In-N-Out Burger, Double Double with cheese & onions

Let's hyphen it out

Don't make enchiladas if you have fake finger nails

Weinstein 23 - is the new black

It only takes a second to show someone how you feel about them, the Police call in indecent exposure...lame!

You'd better hope and pray that you make it safe back to your own world

Congratulations to Traci Lords on her Best Actor win for "A Tale Of Two Sisters"

Hump Day & Chill

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Tunesday Tuesday!

No Explanation Needed

Today I celebrate one of my favorite bands evuh! That's correct minions time to take out the trash and bring on the Garbage!

I have seen them and heard them in concert at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, CA  - they were real and spectacular. Front woman Shirley Manson's vocals are the bomb!

So, here comes one of my favorite songs (actually all of their songs are my favorites) that really hits a home run as to what's happening now in the world.

"Yes" I, like all of us do, sometimes  "I Think I'm Paranoid" - well, seriously. Hey given everything that's happening now. I rest my case. 

Mic Drop... "You can look but you can't touch, I don't think I like you much, Heaven knows what a girl can do, Heaven knows what you've got to prove"

Hit the timely video after the jump, yeah, I said jump.

Monday Motivation

Seeing Red
Meghan Markle & Prince Harry

With all the chaos in the world I thought we needed some Monday Motivation today that would represent and spread some joy. Thus when I stumbled upon this photo of the "Artist Formerly Known As Prince" Harry and Meghan Markle at the Mountbatten Festival of Music, I knew I have struck MM gold!

Because, let's face it, life is tough, that's just the way it is. These two are going trough their emancipation from the Royal Family at present and publicly so they are pretty much a unifying symbol of that.

Yet, those matching vibrant red ensembles are enough to put a smile on anyone's face 😀

Perseverance is the word for this Monday. Everyone of us has the strength to deal with life's adversities. 

So put on your personal "vibrant red" and go out into the world and seize the day!

Cheers To Sunday, March 8, 2020
Kris Jenner

You  may be scratching your collective heads as to why I would simply title a post after the day, date and year it is. Well because Sunday, March 8th 2020 is an oddly event filled day, Usually you get one big to do going on, today in my world there are four, count em', four!!!

Let's start with the obvious, Daylight Savings Time. Remember to "Spring Forward" peeps. The second obvious on is it's International Women's Day. The third is obvious to those living in Los Angeles and participating in the Los Angeles City Marathon. Last but not least, on this event filled day, it's my Mom's Birthday to top it all off...Phew!

Which brings as to why I am using an image of Kris Jenner to cover it all. Whilst on Twitter this quote by her came through my feed via E!News:  "If somebody says no, you’re asking the wrong person."

This quote hit me where it counts, say what you want about Kris Jenner, but seriously this is amazing in it's simplicity and it's true.

I thought to myself, "This applies to the plethora of activity seizing the day" Now get out there and grab life by the _________ give it a name, it, like the day is yours minions...own it!

Saturday Sinema: Laurel & Hardy

Laurel & Hardy: The Definitive Restorations

coming to DVD and Blu-ray on June 16th 

"It's no exaggeration to say that the films haven't looked this good since 

they were first released in the 1930s." - Leonard Maltin

The comedy films of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy have been beloved around the world since they were first released between 1927 and 1940. So beloved that many of the available copies are blurred dupes printed from worn-out negatives. Now, the best of their short comedies and two of their finest features have been fully restored. They look and sound as spectacular as when they were first released... Here are a few videos that prove it:

Friday Fun!

Never Worn White
Katy Perry

With all the intense things going on in the world, I thought we all deserved to take some time out! 

"Yes" its time for celebrity news that is fun and will bring a smile to your face 😊 If not, at least it will not agitate you.

Thus the biggest celeb news happening is Katy Perry revealing via the video for her latest ditty Never Worn White that she is pregnant by husband to be, Orlando Bloom. Can I get an Awwwwwwww...? I thought I could.

Perry is relieved the secret, until now, bun in the oven is out, as she is reportedly tired of sucking in her gut. OK, obviously I am not a woman and will never be pregnant, but it seems with a baby on board you really couldn't suck in your gut, but who knows, I could be wrong, and most likely am???

Anyway, Katy Perry announced the happy event in true, well, Katy Perry style by revealing her bump in the video to the world. Now that's a birth announcement!

Good one Perry! Congrats to the happy couple! See the big reveal after the jump...
