Hump Day Goings On

I know I was supposed to post on Monday and left you all hanging, I am really sorry. I had a wild weekend that just was surreal and I am still recovering. I partied like I was 25 and can't remember some of the things that happened. I crawled home as the sun was creeping over the horizon, then had to go to a Mother's Day cookout. All this after I was only going to drop off a birthday cake. Yeah, trouble will find me. LOL

My Bulls are stinking up the playoffs. I hate losing, but to the Heat makes it worse. They are part of the sports Trifecta of Evil for me. They are the loathed enemy and it is humiliating to get destroyed by them. LeBron James is more evil than the Emperor in Star Wars to me. Needless to say, I am not a happy camper.

I've hit a wall with my writing and am trying to get back on track. I've been trying to do some creative things to help stir my imagination. Minds out of the gutter! LOL

I've been popping round the blogsphere and finding some really intriguing news and posts. Maynard from Horror Movie Diary and Emma from Little Gothic Horrors did a great dual post on Beetlejuice, a classic film and a definite fave of  mine.

Mind of Mine is celebrating five years. Congrats, my friend!!

This Friday is the Best and Worst Movie remake blogfest hosted by Alex J. Cavanaugh,  Oh my list is so long. There have been some really horrible, unnecessary remakes out there. Footloose, I'm looking at you. Don't worry Alex, I've still got plenty of ammunition for Friday.

Star Trek is this weekend!! I cannot wait. I'm taking my mom as she is a proud Trekkie, too. I'm also going to try and hit the Great Gatsby as I LOVE Baz  Luhrman and feel that there has not been a really terrific film of this novel. Redford lacked the fierceness  of Jay and played him like a cool courtier. So not Gatsby.

What is up? Let me know the scoop.

      High fives, Johanna! We all should let it all go like that every once in a while. I did thoroughly enjoy myself.

    I'm not a big basketball fan (but when I watch, I root for Boston) but I totally agree with you on the Heat and LeBron James.

    Also looking forward to Star Trek. I'd like to see Gatsby, too, if I can swing it.

      Hey M.J.! Thank you! I hate the Heat with a passion. And I have a soft spot for Boston, too. Big Larry Bird fan here.

      Star Trek, yes!

      Hi Ella!! Leo is so wonderful, isn't he? I just adore him and think he is one of the most gifted actors.

      Hugs and thanks! I need to write you an email because my cardinal is gone. I think he got mis-packed, but I don't know and I'm sad about that.

  17. TinaMay 16, 2013 at 5:42 AM

    I'm so ready for Star Trek and Gatsby. Robert Redford would be my last choice...first, not a fan, second, he's not Gatsby, plain and simple.
    Thanks for confessing the crawling...haven't done that in a while, but glad that there are others out there willing to say so ;-)
    Just keep at it Melissa, you'll get there. You've got a string of success behind you. This is a blip.

      Amen, my sister Tina!! High fives all around on that one. Redford is not Jay Gatsby, there was no fire in his performance, no obsession.

      Thanks for the total support on the crawling. I haven't done that in a long time, but it sure felt liberating.

      And hugs for the writing encouragement. :) I needed it.

    The Bulls may be stinking in basketball, but I tell ya, the bulls are in the driver seat when it comes to Wall Street. I been making money hand over fist in my retirement fund with each new high that the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq all hit. So yeah...I'm all for those bulls :)

    I'll be seeing Star Trek later today.
