Final Girls' Final Songs Playlist
Do you remember watching horror movies and just kind of loving how sick the soundtrack was? At the end, when the Final Girl was finally making her escape from whatever hellish nightmare she'd just been embroiled in, and a great song plays at the end? Some kind of metal, or nu-metal, or grunge hit?

Sam Fender - The Shields Springsteen
What This is About I am sixty five years old and I see so many people going on about how rubbish modern music is. It's true that our musical tastes are formed between the ages of fourteen and sixteen and I still love the music that I was exposed to at that age, though I also picked up a guitar and thought I could maybe make it, fifty years on I am still trying to teach myself though people say that my singing sounds a bit like Neil Young.

OUT AT NIGHT
I was heading out and had to get there fast, but was midway through designing a cover for a living room settee to coordinate with a new color scheme of black and white with red accents when I was called to the rush to "get in the car." I pulled the fabric up around me to cover my recent removal of sweat shorts and sweatshirt being tossed off after a lengthy walk around my usual eight to ten-block exercise trail through our neighborhood. I had come in ready to work the handmade pattern for the ottoman cover.

Thriller Villa
The Arrival In the dead of a winter night in late 2006, not far from downtown Las Vegas, a shining black Cadillac Escalade pulled off a major boulevard onto a darkened side street, heading with purpose down the lane. Two hefty body guards in the front seats eyed the terrain, as the vehicle sped past custom homes on ample lots, toward a large private compound. In back, three sleepy children and their father, a man of vast wealth.

Song Lyrics Gone Horribly Wrong
One thing that I’ve always found pretty funny was making up alternate song lyrics to popular music. I learned this from one of my closest friends when we were much younger. We’d be driving around to various places and he’d always have some sort of spin on the lyrics. Typically, they were crude and hilarious.
