Or the line that repeats, and will repeat over and over in your head because you can't remember the words for the rest of the song : Hang the DJ Hang the DJ Hang the DJ This song rather pleasantly was brought back to me (last time I heard it was back in the 1980's!) after watching Black Mirror , thanks to my kids. It was played at the end of the episode named ' Hang the DJ '. If you have not seen any Black Mirror episodes (on Netflix ), I suggest you give it a try. It is an interesting series, no two have the same characters, and each is a different storyline. All have a 'Future Technology' aspect that is a bit creepy most times. As in, "wow I hope technology does not take us in THAT direction" , or "wow I hope THAT kind of technology is not ever used like that!"  It can be unsettling. After 2 or 3 episode my hubby says 'no more, I am technologied out' . But a really good series I look forward to seeing, of course in m...

First, let me apologize. I am sorry for subjecting you to The Scorpions . They are far from a band I like, but after this weekend, and until Hurricane Matthew has inched it's way out of the Caribbean, hurricanes have been in the center of our daily activies. What other song could I pick?? I moved to the Caribbean back in 1993. Being from Western New York, I was not familiar with hurricane tracking. Snow storm tracking, yes, hurricanes, no. But over the years, it became a part of daily life during hurricance season. In June, we get the little newpaper insert that has a tracking map, the list of supplies you should have on hand at any given moment, and with each Tropical update you either add the new tropical depression to what is on your radar or you sit and wait until the next one.  There were many times we prepped for whatever storm might pass close by. Got the supplies, moved our 'important' things where we thought safest from wind and water, hunckered down and wat...

Boys and Girls of every age Wouldn't you like to see something strange? Poor Jack Skellington  and his obsession with Christmas . There IS something about the holiday season that most of us can't resist too. Remember MY recent obsession with Christmas and Mini Stockings ??? But today, it is about Halloween .  Pumpkins, Trick-or-treating,  spookiness and skeletons . 'Bones' modeling some Halloween Toekini's . One of my 3 Halloween decorations. Enjoy the roasted pumpkin seeds and candy, and the  ghosts and ghouls . Glow in the Dark Ghost Toekini's , glowing. And trick-or-treat some for me. My kids are too old now to be interested in that. Plus our driveway is too long and spooky for us to be getting any trick-or-treaters. So it will most likely be a normal night for us.  I am thinking Spaghetti for dinner....um I mean Worms and Blood ....with garlic bread. How does that sound?? That is about as scary as things will be around here.  Wha...

October 1st The wind was cool and brisk last night The skies were dark and grey. It was really too early for fright But I got one, what else can I say? I was searching for a great collection, Trying so hard to find items that match. When unexpectedly, I felt the need for protection. What was that noise in the pumpkin patch?? Suddenly my task wasn't so daunting, I had inspiration to find items and their matches. I settled with the theme of haunting - it happens even in pumpkin patches. The Haunted Pumpkin Patch   Curated By: RaigeCreations ArtFire.com Fine Art Paintings Happy October!! {The start of NaBloWriMo ,  I hope to post a blog every day this month.  How's that for scary?}

I used to think I wasn't too bad at carving pumkins. I used to think my husband, who is much better at carving than me, was great at carving pumkins.  Then I saw this guy and his pumkins. This pumpkin is good, no question. But when I saw this video of some more examples of the best pumkin carver in the world, Ray Villafane,   my jaw hit the floor and all I could do was just watch and say things like "wow", Oh my Gosh", and "That is amazing" each time a new pumkin was shown. Then, to top it all off, the last sculpture blew my mind. Maybe next year we can carve something better than these. Have a sweetly scary day!
