Crazy Things I Love - Food Party

From time to time, I'll be sharing some bits of craziness that I'm really into (just a little window into some of the bizarre shades of myself!).

One tidbit of weirdness is the psychedelic/surreal IFC show called Food Party  hosted by the quirky Thu Tran.

If Sesame Street and H.R. Pufnstuf were crossed together with a substantial dose of LSD, you'd get Food Party!  The whole premise of the show is absurd because although the show focuses on food, many of the ingredients are more imagined than real.

It's also boldly creative. Seems like no idea is rejected . . . make the kitchen set completely out of cardboard? Sure. Use the most grotesque and oddly fabricated puppets? Check. Have colored felt fingers be the flames for the stove top? Super. Make the neighbor be completely coated with real peanut butter? Absolutely.

But what makes the show for me is Thu, she's a pint-sized pill of irrationality. One minute she's awkwardly shy and then she's brash and unstably verbose (her facial expressions are hilarious). 

I have to warn you, this show isn't for everyone. You'll either love it or hate it. Now let's learn how to make Green Screen Cookies with Thu . . .

Oh the Horror!

I have a confession. I'm a big horror fan. Okay, that's a bit of an understatement, I'm a BEHEMOTH fan! It's a bit of an oxymoron if you think about it since I love to sew up cute little rag dolls and then I've got this great pine to scare my pants off. This past year has been a good one for TV (cable to be exact) because it has gone all out to scare viewers with two awesome, in my opinion, horror shows. They're quite different in their own rights but both share a great cast, excellent storylines, and monumental cliffhanger episodes!

I'm in love with this show and if you've seen American Horror Story, then you're a masochist like me. The plot line is a bit complicated, to keep it short a family buys a new home, moves in, and all hell breaks loose . . . literally. This is not for the faint at heart and can be quite graphic, but if you're okay with that and appreciate a good horror story in a modern setting, this show's for you. It's creepy, sexy, intriguing, and downright puzzling. I'm counting down the next episode as I type.

Imagine an apocalypse world filled with zombies . . . that's The Walking Dead. This is a gore fest (again it's graphic) but the zombies really take a backstage to the survivors who are living this nightmare. Their relationships and codependency are really what's addicting about the show and I love every minute of it!

What are your favorite shows? Any shows that you can't get enough of? Sue
