Merry merriness!
Dec. 24th, 2009 12:06 amI've been trying to come up with a coherent post for the last several days, but my brain is rebelling. So I'm gonna give up and leave it at wishing everyone merriness in whatever form they prefer. For me, I think I need to rename what I celebrate this time of year Solsticemas, because it is sort of a hodgepodge.
Wait, I do have one more coherent thought in the form of another Musical Christmas Wackiness recommendation: Barenaked for the Holidays by Barenaked Ladies. These guys managed to make me not hate "Jingle Bells," which is quite an accomplishment (the only others to accomplish this were the Tuvan throat singers on the Bela Fleck album I mentioned in my last entry). It helps that Barenaked Ladies embrace the song's inherent obnoxiousness and include the "Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg" verse.
So on that note, 5 and a half hours of work tomorrow, and then I'm off until January. Woo hoo!
