The thoughts & Musings of Christopher F. Reidy*

PRE-NOTE NOTE: I assume that most images on the web are "fair use."  I will try my best to credit artists, writers, photographers etc. when I use material that is not mine. If I receive notification to remove any material I have used improperly, well, then, I certainly will!

NOTE: Apparently this webpage has some glitches. It tends to randomly switch out visual material.  Why?  Don't ask me.  So, if a pic doesn't match the text...it doesn't!  Rest assured I am trying to amend this problem.  When I get around to it.

*(may contain misuse of apostrophes, miss spellings, overabundance of semi-colons,  wrong word usage, MAJOR AMOUNT OF UNFOOTNOTED ASTERISKS, UNCLOSED PARENTHESES AND UNCLOSED QUOTATION MARKS, etc.
I will make every attempt to correct mistakes if and when they come to my attention.

​ALSO: 
Please find an in-complete (or if you prefer; "ongoing") index of blog posts on the homepage, for your convenience!

AND YET ANOTHER NOTE:
The visual switcheroos on these blogs have reached a point where there's no way I can correct them all, so I'm just going to leave them be. (Actually, I am now slowly working on this!)  If they don't match the text, just think of them as whimsical funsies decorating the text.  I will continue to supply pictures; but I cannot guarantee their context: much like my mind.
Thank you for your patience!

A FURTHER NOTE:
I try to keep this website relatively free of anything truly morally reprehensible or obscene.  However, in the pursuit of honesty; I will be quite frank about sexuality; as I feel one should be.  To  wit: this website is not for children.  It is decidedly "adult"; although not necessarily not "childish."  I do not feel it is suitable, in some instances, for anyone below the age of 17.  Or maybe a very mature 16...or 15 even.  
THIS WEBSITE IS RATED: PG-15
I suppose this site is NSFW in some cases; and in that case, I would say it is up to the viewer to determine that.  I will supply extra warning if I think something might be a bit too ribald for The Great American Office.

Who Is Dr. Osaka and Why Is He Leaving These Stupid Comments on My Blog? Or: Some more random thoughts and so forth.

Okay, so I don't have any specific subject I want to talk about.  Just some random thoughts and canoodlings and such.  I don't really do "politics" here but the world of politics is totally farting in everyone's direction, including mine so it's kind of inescapable.  Like, as I'm writing this, I think there are big protests happening in our Nation's Capital because our President is trying to install what I suppose is the beginning of a private army?  And it's like: *SIGH* / Shrug/ "Whatevs..."
But see, it's "whatevs" they are counting on.  They want to grind us down into exhaustion with this unending stream of bullshit.  So, we just have to keep calling them on it and flinging the shit back.  So, I will take this moment to post this:
Picture
The above was a picture of DT and Epstein at Mar-a-Gargoyle and I'm sorry, but I just can't bear to have a picture of that gruesome twosome on my blog.  It's the one where they're whispering and giggling; sharing their special secrets...(puke).

Donald's even doing that sleazy Dancing White Dude lower lip bite.  Gag me with a silver spoon!  
See, the best way to go after Trump is to lower yourself to his level; it's the only way.  South Park knows this.  I say they get even lower down and nastier.  Name calling, sure.  But he's so vain I would really hone in on his quickly growing geriatric disabilities.  Yes, it's low.  But there's no time for being polite anymore.  Apparently Trump is now wearing diapers and soiling himself in public.  I guess there are even photos of him in white pants...I will spare you.  I'm not cool with making fun of old people; but in this case I would make a complete exception.  Delirium Tremens wouldn't think twice about it.  So go for the cankles!
Enough said.
So, here's some good news!
I am pleased to announce I am going to self-publish my second novel: 84 On the Floor.  I have been sitting on it (so to speak) for a good half a decade, whilst I pursued traditional publishing/representational avenues.  But these avenues have thus far been dead ends.  So F it!  Life is short.  I just have to do the cover and then bada-bing...you can procure it on Amazon if you're so inclined.  I'll keep you posted.

SPOILER ALERT RE: WEAPONS motion picture:
So I saw Weapons on Saturday.  I had seen the trailer and was intrigued; but as it apparently featured children in jeopardy and/or a woman losing her mind; I was relcutant to see it.  I saw Pearl and that had kind of set off a miserable bout of OCD and depression.  But this one was up for consideration.  Let's look at the trailer:
When I did a little research and found that it wasn't a One-Woman-Going-Nutz-One-Woman-Show; and, I saw those ratings, it's what we went to see.
I LOVED IT!



I do kind of have to wonder why though, that the gay couple had to be pummelled into dog-meat.  I mean, couldn't one of them have survived and helped to save the day at the end?  But that's just me.
Weapons is the first movie I can remember in a long time that had me actually physically reacting to it.  I'm talking like "jumping out of my seat."  Not with just fright, but with like WTF!!! in the best way.  A truly CLIMACTIC climax.  But with the reveal of the villain, I had one of my IYSSSS moments.  I'm not going to elaborate much.  First, I'll just put up these two images:
Picture
Picture
The first image is Amy Madigan from Weapons.  The second is a prototype of a character I doodled for a faux advice column.  Her name is CP Whiffington.  I had Diana Vreeland in mind when I was drawing her.
Picture
Here is the finalized version of Ms. Whiffington:
Picture
Is it me or does the photo of Ms. Madigan and the prototype of Ms. Whiffington look like the same person?  Or am I simply living in a Matrix and/or I've gone nutz myself?  Or, is it merely, once again coincidence?  Please leave any thougths in the comments section.
And speaking of the COMMENTS section: I will ask again: WHO IS DR. OSAKA?
The following "comment" has been left in the comments section of several of my blogs.  Let's take a look!
Picture
CONTACT DR. OSAKA AT YOUR OWN RISK!

So this is all falling into place!  Apparently Dr. Osaka is a "spell caster" which would make him a witch, right?  And now I'm freaked out!!!  So he's a male witch.  Or warlock, right?  Or is he a Manwhich?
Spooky!  And now I'm like, legit creeped out...

INTRODUCING....!
A new feature here at Christopherfreidy.com:
Miss Takes
Which is our new forum for redactions, corrections, oversights, stupidity, dunderheadedness, unmindful oversights et. al. in perpetuity...you get it.  It's my version of "Corrections"; but as that title has now been "famously" taken, I'm calling it "Miss Takes"  And I've hired a Press Secretary/Spokesmodel/Mouthpiece to do the dirty work.  Ladies and Gentlefolk of all stripes...Let's put our hands together for....
Miss Karen-Anne Incongraham-Takes ("Missy" to her friends).
Picture
She's "pretty"!  She's "blonde"!  She's telegenic?  She wears a gold cross.  She can get cross at the drop of a hat!  She's a truth-teller and a soothsayer!  She's got all the facts!  Her favorite song is Crosseyed and Painless!  Let's listen in!
Who knew that song would come so true?
Missy Takes did, that's who!!!
So Missy, what's our first righting of a wrong?
Thank you Mr. Reidy.  Are there any questions?
I just asked you a question.
Did you put it in the form of a question?
Well, I put a question mark at the end, so...
Did you submit your question in writing?
Well, I'm writing this, so; thechnically--yes?
Great!  Next question?  Yes, you Sir, from Reidyation News Nation...
Would you agree that Mr. Reidy is a hero for admitting he makes mistakes?
Oh yes!  And not only that; he's a true American Patriot for making the mistake that he makes mistakes; because he doesn't.  He can't.  God won't let him.  Next question--
Yes, I'm Chris Reidy.  I hired you and I'm telling you I made a mistake.
You're mistaken.
But I implied in a blog I wrote about Molly Ringwald that John Cassavettes had directed the 1982 film Tempest, when in fact it was directed by Paul Mazursky.
It was.
Was what?
Directed by him.
By who?
Whoever you said, Mr. Reidy.
But I said...well...I guess I said both, really-
Correct.
But that's incorrect.
No, that is a fact.
Which part?
The correct part.
Okay...well, anyways, I recently rewatched the movie and I guess I did make it to the end at some point over my numerous viewings of it back in the day on cable.  It had a kind of anti-climactic ending, which is maybe why it didn't make an impression.  But it had a delightful closing curtain call with the cast taking bows.  Here's the trailer!
Well, thank you Karen-Anne.  I look forward to your...assistance in the future...when I don't make mistakes.
You won't.
Well, we can pray on it.
I'm an atheist.
Then why are you wearing a cross?
This concludes our briefing.  No more questions.  Thank you.
But Missy.  Who is Dr. Osaka?
It's a hoax.
What's a hoax.
Wait...where'd she go?  She's worse than the Target Lady.

Let's do a search for Dr. Osaka and see what comes up:
Hey, Hal...who is Dr. Osaka?
So, Hal gave me several options and this one I found the most interesting.  He's a street chef in Japan known as "Dr. Osaka" and I guess he prepares food super fast by means of a small flamethrower.  Let's take a look1
Isn't it a wonderful world?
And speaking of flamethrowers.  Remember that J. Geils song, "Flamethrower"?  It's kind of forgotten.  Let's listen in!
Do you think Miss Takes looks a little tired?  I do.  I think all those State TV Blonde-bloviating Heads look tired.  If not exhausted:

It must be really hard work to be a blonde pretending to be smart.  Or be smart, pretending to be blonde:
But ya gotta wonder...
Just how many steps do you suppose there are between this:
And this?
Picture
Ooooh...that got dark fast.
But let's keep it light.

The Fox News Tool
Coming Soon!
