OKTOBER FEST IS SET IN 1900. Munich's Oktoberfest. A traditional annual celebration of the
long since faded Bavarian royalty. After already running for nearly a

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to watch it.
DeleteI doubt I'll watch it as it's not really my kind of movie.
ReplyDeleteIt is a six episode saga :)
DeleteI'd never heard of a beer mafia. Sounds like a scary party for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou have mafia everywhere, deary, everywhere! Even Blogging mafia :)
DeleteOktoberfest is right up Jason's alley. He'll be ready to stop working on the house until after the holidays, so I'm sure he'll make time for this soon.
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of you and Jason watching this together! It does have just six episode, perfect for the two of you to cuddle up together under a blanky.
DeleteWell, Jason did say he wants to sit down every night and watch a little television with me every night in October since we've slacked on that these past few months. This will be perfect to entice him to stop work at a decent hour, grab the popcorn and blanket, and cuddle in front of the telly!
ReplyDeleteWhat is he working on, I thought you finished the floors....
DeleteYour blogging mafia comment made me giggle. Who is in this mafia?! LOL I agree with Theresa. This may be a good one to recruit our hubbys to watch with us. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are a few old bloggers who visit about a hundred blogs a day and have that much blogging friends, which makes them influential and dangerous :) They can kick you out of their circles. They are known for publishing nasty posts about other bloggers sometimes.... little mobster biyacheez, basically. They don't scare me personally as I eat such morons for breakfast....
