All for a Happy Halloween

If you have young school aged-children still at home, then you can probably relate to the madness of a day that I will be facing today.  There’s a costume parade at the school followed by two class parties where Monster Mama Run DMT is expected to DJ dance music for said parties and then another party after school before we set off to trick-or treat with our friends.

That’s some serious Halloween hoopla, my friends!
 

 
But we do it all for the kids, right?
 

 
Rest assured, I’ll be funneling a few beers tearing into some treats of my own around 5:00 p.m.  Then, I’ll be feeling good in the ‘hood.
 

 
And with the help of some liquid courage, maybe I’ll sing some Halloween carols to really piss off my neighbors  keep my spirits high and smooth things over when Little Lion Man tries to enter each home we visit for trick-or-treating tonight.
 

 

Here’s to a safe and Happy Halloween to you and yours!



For the next four Music Mondays, I’ll be counting my blessings through song.  Each week in November, I will be singing my praises and giving thanks by sharing a song that symbolizes one of the many blessings in my life.  Come count your blessings with me and link up while you’re here.  What a blessing that would be!

Music Monday: Halloweenies

As to be expected, our Adult Halloween party was quite the freak fest.  Much like the mood of the entire evening, the costumes and the company were a lot of fun.

 

 

Dressed as Katy Perry and Russell Brand, Erika and John had the best costume once again.

 

 

Tiffany and her husband, Greg, had the cutest costume dressed as Will Schuester and Quinn from Glee.

 

 

As Top Gun, Jackie and Bob were definitely the coolest.

 

But Julie and Jason had the funniest and most creative couples costume.  Can you guess what it was?

 

 

 

This Saturday, the Halloween hoopla continues with our Moms on the Go Family Halloween party.  Not quite as risqué as our adult party, but still a lot of fun.  Every year, I lead the kids’ costume parade with the Monster Mash, followed by our Witch Doctor freeze dance and we wrap the fun with Thriller limbo.

 

 

As you can imagine, I always need a stiff drink and a dead sleep after the kids’ party.  I hope this Halloween is a real treat for you and yours.

 

Happy Halloween!

Two Spock Friday

Last weekend, Hubby and I snuck away for a few hours to finally see the new Star Trek movie. 

 

As far back as I can remember, I’ve always been a Star Trek fan.  As a young child, I would be glued to the television after dinner to watch the Star Trek reruns every week night. 

 

In my late high school years, I became a fan of Star Trek: Next Generation, followed by Star Trek: Voyager in my college years and then of course, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.  Years later, I even watched Enterprise.

 

Never enamored by William Shatner as Kirk, I must confess my childhood crush on the Russian cutie, Chekov.

 

 

But when Khan dropped a mind-controlling earwig in Chekov’s ear in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, that dissolved my crush away like his brains.  Brain-dead guys have never turned me on.  I like men with brains.

 

 

As I got older, I had the hots for Piccard.  His powerful presence, compassion, courage, intelligence and accent made me swoon.

 

 

BUT, I never thought Spock was sexy. 

 

 

Until, I saw the new Star Trek movie with its new and improved Spock.

 

 

Zachary Quinto (Sylar from Heroes) plays the perfect Spock.  In my opinion, he plays Spock better than Leonard Nimoy.

 

Although I am a huge fan of Hereos, I never found Sylar sexy.  With his creepy mannerisms and cold, calculated psychotic serial killer looks, I don’t think any woman with half a brain would.  (Sylar joke, get it?  Half a brain? Nevermind.)

 

 

 Going into the movie, I anticipated a Sylar-Spock.  I didn’t think Quinto could shake the spooky villain.  Surprisingly, I was wrong.  (It happens.)  Not only did he slip out of Sylar successfully, but he pulled off a better, more sexier Spock.  I now have a new Star Trek crush.

 

 

As for the movie, I loved it.  Sure, the new Star Trek changes the original storylines and timelines a bit.  But you know what?  Star Trek holds its place in this little genre called Science Fiction and as far as I’m concerned, storylines are always changing due to worm holes and time travel.  That’s the delightful dynamic of Science Fiction!

 

According to critics, it reeks of J.J. Abrams, but I wouldn’t know.  I have never watched a single episode of Lost or Alias.  However, I can proclaim that J.J. Abrams puts a contemporary spin on an old favorite.  The action-packed pace and edge-of-your-seat scenes will make you crave sequels or, in my case, more sexy Spock.
