The Karate Kid (1984)
My best friend and I are looking forward to seeing this in theaters for its 35th anniversary!
RIP LUKE PERRY :(
Loved him as soon as I saw him as Dylan McKay on “Beverly Hills, 90210.” So cool, mysterious; I totally related Brenda Walsh being drawn to him. He’s one of those stars whose death hit hardest.
Life in Recent Months
Last spring, I began to actively apply to various jobs posted on career sites such as Indeed and LinkedIn. Landed interviews at companies that had marketing positions and even car sales, both entry level since I didn’t have previous experience in those areas. I also applied for positions such as administrative assistant, editor, others with social media titles.
That continued through the next months and then in early September, my mom had a medical emergency. Despite having no signs of a problem even the day before, she had to be revived several times in the ambulance and was then in ICU for the next 10 days. She had been out so long as EMTs tried to revive her, that it caused too severe damage to her brain. When we visited each day, she never showed responses to us or awareness that we were in the room. Mid-month, my mom passed away and it was ruled that she also had a block somewhere between her heart and brain, causing the emergency to begin with.
Since then, I’ve been helping my dad with errands and bills. We had to go into Philly for one financial matter. On the way home, we were in a minor accident on I-95 southbound, luckily while traffic was only moving about 30-35mph. The airbags didn’t even deploy, but a tow truck was needed for my dad’s car and the other vehicle could be driven away. So we were down to my car for over a month, as I continued helping with errands.
The holidays were difficult, first season without my mom. She had some chronic health problems over the years, yet had been able to get around and do errands. So, it was a shock for us and everyone else in the family and among my friends and family friends. She had just turned 64 this past summer. We all miss her.

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully you leave something good behind.” Anthony Bourdain ( June 25th 1956 - June 8th 2018 )
Don’t worry, Blockheads, I would never forget the ever-so-handsome Jordan Knight on this (throwback) Thursday. :)
Red glitter polish to jazz up nails already coated with a color called Devious (by a brand called Sinful Shine, same as the glittery one); devilish theme goin’ on there! My BFF teased me, saying Devil’s Stare reminds me of a crush with a smoldering gaze matching his devilish grin. ❤️😈

Too much hotness to handle. Swooning all over the place.
