Bloopers can be fun to spot - especially if it's in a film you love and therefore have seen a large number of times. Like when Vera Ellen pours coffee, replaces the coffee pot and then suddenly has the pot in her hand again - you know, another camera angel - in "White Christmas."
Sometimes too they can be seriously frustrating, more of an inconsistency than a blooper, causing the viewers to be like ... HUH?! Especially if it's something that "affects" the next film in a series ...
For example, has anyone else ever wondered what happened to Margaret and Tully's son in the second Addams Family movie -- she's no longer with Tully ('cause you know, he was buried alive at the end of the first film), rather now she is with Cousin It and they have their Baby What. But what of her son from the first movie, he's just gone ... hmmmm
Or what about - and ok ok ok, I do realize that this is actually a novel inconsistency of Michael Crichton's but still - what about the fact that in Jurassic Park the T-Rex can not see you if you don't move ... but then, in The Lost World suddenly that 'fact' no longer exists. Don't get me wrong, I understand the author might have learned something new between the first and second books, but come on, that kind of thing - for continuity's sake - should not change. Otherwise, Grant, Lex and Timmy should all have been eaten in the first novel (and film).

Chicken and waffles!
I've heard about Chicken and Waffles for "years" now ... even ate in a fairly famous Chicken and Waffles joint in L.A. a number of years ago ... and now, I've finally tried them. For the first time last night, at an event called the Slider Slam, which was a part of the Albany Wine and Dine for the Arts weekend. Yum!

International New Year's Eve Traditions
Next year I want to throw a New Year's Eve Party that incorporates some International Flares...these two, which I've just learned of today, to start:
:o)
- 12 Grapes on a skewer, one per person, to eat at Midnight. I will double check, but I believe I read that it is a tradition from Spain.
- On New Years Day, don't eat anything with wings on it so that your New Year's Luck won't fly away.
:o)

Happy New Year!
2015's Jar of Happiness will be a thing as I really enjoyed doing it in 2014.
Yup, I'm going to do the "mason jar of happiness" again this year. It's simple. Take a mason jar, and any time something great happens, a cool thing I want to remember comes along, etc...write it down on a slip of paper and place it in the jar ... to be read on New Year's Eve 2015 ... :o)
Here we go!
