Just got an invite to a great Halloween party

by

Every few years my friend likes to throw a wild Halloween party. She just sent out the party invitations and I just received mine. This is one party we won’t miss!

Now … all I need to do is decide what I’m going to make for the party – I always make something very creatively edible and two … decide what kind of costume to wear oh and I suppose what kind of costume my husband might want to wear too.

Hmmm maybe something like this sexy maid costume but I have a feeling it might a little too cold around here by then for something like that! At least I have a little bit of time to think about it.

Do you go to Halloween parties? Do you dress up?

Watching the movie about Hugh Hefner

by






I’m watching a fascinating movie right now. I used my PVR to tape Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel last night on the movie network and my husband and I are watching it now.

I vaguely remember hearing that back in the late 50s and early 60s Hefner had a TV show called “Playboy Penthouse” and on it he featured quite a variety of entertainers. In fact he it seems it wasn’t uncommon for him to have black jazz musicians or mixed musical groups playing on his TV show. Now this was a national broadcast and mixed race bands just weren’t promoted on TV in those days … so this is really quite amazing. Whatever you think of Hefner and his Playboy magazine he has done some good in this world it seems and by watching this movie I’m learning quite a bit more about this very interesting man.

Certainly … Hef being in his 80’s and about to embark on what, his third or fourth marriage .. well I don’t think he’ll ever be collecting SSDI. Not a chance! Anyway .. if you get a chance to check out this documentary/ movie do take a look, it’s fascinating.






My husband and I get a kick out of Tosh.O

by

Do you ever watch Tosh.O on TV? I do, or rather my husband and I do. I made the mistake of taping an episode one night last year and showing it to my husband the next evening and ever since then he’s been hooked. It’s one of his favorite shows.

Typically the show has outtakes of video from the internet of people doing strange stuff or making fools of themselves. Most episodes he lets someone who has a high rated embarrassing internet video come on the show for a remake or redo. It’s usually pretty funny.

In the latest episode to air there was a girl doing gymnastics and she had an awful landing. They showed the video in slow motion and you could see both of her ankles collapsing as she landing. Ugh I’ll bet she was in double ankle braces for a long time after that! Wow! But … overall the show is funny … it does show some accidents like the one I described above, but mostly it shows funny crazy things.

So … have you ever watched Tosh.O? If you have what do you think of the show? If not .. check it out it’s worth watching at least once.
