Bittersweet Ramblings bittersweetramblings

The Scooby Doo Gang was just trying to do their own thing.  Making it from day to day, livin' the van life.  Solving mysteries others couldn't in towns across the country just to have a place to sleep and food to eat.  
Can you run without being chased?  I think not.  What were they on the run from?

This show helped to convince a young grade school me that teen mystery solving gangs were a thing.  That somehow if you found the right group, you too to go around solving mysteries.  As long as one member of the team had a van to drive, so that you could file out of the van like a team. 
At the time, it did not occur to me that you needed both other team members, and some actual mysteries to solve.  Also, if it were that easy, there would be about 10 vans loaded down with mystery solving teens.

Loyalty Freak Music - Everyone (played 3 times)
 

There I was, up watching yet another edited for TV horror movie late at night.  Not wanting to go to bed, but not really feeling any interest in yet another teens in peril movie. 
Until she came onto the screen.  Hair flowing, bow neatly tied, charisma in spades.  She was smart.  She was sweet.  She was a survivor.  Her name was Muffin, and she may nip at you if you step on her paws.

When you need  motivation to clean, because the piles keep growing, sometimes terror works better than aspiration.  Turn on these TV shows, and scare yourself into scrubbing your home, and possibly your skin, down with bleach.

When you are very young, and you like certain songs, sometimes you end up watching music videos over and over.  And the video is kind of confusing, but you watch it anyway. 
Then, years later, you look it up again, and you realize why it stayed with you all of those years.  Self Control by Laura Branigan was a music video with a lot of masks.  And a creepy doll.  And mannequins, so many mannequins.  Black Swan style makeup.  There was also an orgy scene. 
Then, sometimes you find out years later that the video was directed by William Friedkin, and your distrust of mannequins, cellos, and anyone wearing red gloves becomes clear.

Say you buy a new vacation cabin in the woods.  You got a good deal on it, but it is going to need a bit of work.  And by a bit of work, there is actually a lot of work.  And you go up to work on the cabin with your friend, who ditches work to play flirty time with someone with a concussion.  And by the end of the weekend, everything is destroyed, and your fingers don't match.
Tucker deserves a little a little bit of appreciation and maybe a bit of justice.
