as usual, the crazy of this time o' year has gotten to me. luckily i have the week off to recuperate. we are off to the other side of the country to visit family and such. so we've been doing the usual silly things we only get to do out here, like visit sonic and re-watch "the room" and come down with a cold (every time??). but it'll be all good. see you next year.

crap, i'm behind! the ramones - merry christmas (i don't want to fight tonight). i know everyone knows this one already, but i love it too much. r.i.p. joey. there is altogether too much christmas-related stress going on this year, i tell you.

move over; the hbic is here. Kate Bush - December Will Be Magic Again by newcanadian kate bush - december will be magic again. wacko in the best possible way. as usual.

welcome back. it's been a busy weekend. ben folds - bizarre christmas incident. immature, i suppose. whatever. i like it. so, knitting? this has been a bad year for that. check out the progress on my new years socks . yes, cast on in january of this year. ugh. i don't know, it's like i lost my knit-mojo for the past year. working on that. been plugging away at some smaller projects (smaller than socks? sigh).

first off: this album is a classic. (and available on spotify, woohoo!) new kids on the block - i'll be missing you come christmas. don't hate. this was the go-to cd for my best friend and i to listen to in the car around christmas, even in high school. i have to go with this song in particular today because really, it's kind of odd. i get this mental image of his girlfriend tied up in a big giftwrapped box with airholes punched in it.

rufus wainwright - spotlight on christmas. who better to write an awesome sweet non-cheesy christmas song? sadly, i can't find my copy of this song, which means i'll have to try and rescue it from my barely-functional old laptop someday. thank jesus for youtube.

happy 12/12/12! here is day 6. the eels - everything's going to be cool this christmas. apologies for the presence of the o.c. if you prefer the usual more gloomy e, here is a bonus video.
