Happy Christmas Eve!
Christmas Music That Doesn't Suck 2014 Edition: Day Eleven
Getting down to my real favorite songs here.
Carol of the Bells - Staring at Lakes
Interesting take on it. Love the accents. Give them a minute, it's worth it.
2013 was the Piano Guys, 2012 was Pentatonix, 2011 was Home Alone soundtrack
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Anna Kendrick
And see, you think she's just good in Pitch Perfect, but no. She's good on her own without all the effects. Crazy good.
2013 was Christina Perri, 2012 was Xtina with Brian McKnight, 2011 was Judy Garland
Oh Holy Night - Home Free
Yes more from them. Get over it, I bought their Xmas CD as well. It's quite good. Still want to see them live.
2013 was Jordis Unga, 2012 was Hey Monday, 2011 was Glee
2011 Day Eleven - Let all within us praise his holy name
2012 Day Eleven - To the Moon, Alice
2013 Day Eleven - From now on our troubles will be miles away

That mourns in lonely exile here...
More Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck 2014 Edition: Day Two
Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer - Home Free
this bud's for you...
I absolutely love these guys and all their adlibs. Acapella country man. They're wonderful, I wish I could see them live. Speaking of the Sing-Off is coming back next week!
2011 it was Elmo and Patsy, 2012 it was them 30 years later, 2013 was Jesse Hite
Little Drummer Boy - Dave Days
Okay so the baby Jesus is creepy, but these guys are pretty good.
OH MY GOD, do you remember that awful song "Friday" by Rebecca Black? The only anti-music-rec I ever posted EVER?! He made a "Saturday" video with her. Oh my god. Well, at least it's better than Friday.
2011 it was Sean Kingston, 2012 it was Kevin McHale, 2013 was Pentatonix
Santa Baby - Ashanti
Oh my god I totally forgot about her! To be fair it's been like 5 years. She's that chick that sang Rock Wit You and Foolish and Rain on Me. Then disappeared. Now apparently she's making a comeback. If you call collaborating with Rick Ross and French Montana as a comeback that is...
2011 it was PCD, 2012 it was Eartha Kitt, 2013 was Megan Nicole
Alright, I'm adding another song just because I can. Not sure why it wasn't on the list to begin with but...
O Come O Come Emmanuel - Christina Grimmie
That's right, it's my Voice pick from last year! Still got it, very cool. And all acapella, very impressive.
2011 Day Two - "That's just Joe's Finger and Pandemonium"
2012 Day Two - So hurry down the chimney tonight.
2013 Day Two - "I have to work to keep this figure." "You don't work very hard."

Balls to you sir, balls to you sir, up and down the court.
Guess what I found AGAIN this morning at work!
A freakin' bat.
Flippin' winged creatures at the library - I'm on a roll.
I feel like Neville, "why is it always me?"
For those of you who don't already know go here: "Bats are Cute-ish" "Bats have rabies" "That's why I said ish"
or Here: "Freakin' Birds"
Anyway, so I'm doing the expired/cancelled holds list and I look up and see this big black thing on the ceiling. Of course my kneejerk reaction was to run screaming in the other direction.
My farmgirl background failed me, not for the first time.
When I couldn't find Superwoman I ran (actually ran) to the basement to get Girlscout and Cabin Fever was like "you do realize what shirt you're wearing, right?"
I look down and it's a Batman t-shirt.
So apparently this is all my fault.
I ran into my Trainee on the street after it happened and she said that tomorrow I should wear a t-shirt with a bag of money on it.
Good plan, but it would probably just end up as "found money" and go to the cash register.
Anyway, here's the pic that's went viral around the workplace.
The whole time I'm attempting not to flee just in case it would detach and fly at my head.
I have a feeling I won't be living that down anytime soon.
But whatever.
I await all the upcoming pranks...
So, I've decided that fall is my favorite season.
The weather cools down.
Football starts.
Hockey starts.
The good TV shows come back - except Major Crimes, that goes away for a few months.
I know it isn't technically fall yet, but I consider it to be fall because school is back in session.
Which is another reason why I like the fall - I no longer have to worry about school being back in session cause I'm done.
Got my Master's, I've earned some time off.
As much as I love the Blacklist, the Voice, Castle and all that I'm mostly excited for the football and hockey. Huskers are gonna rock it - even though our quarterback is only a Sophomore I have faith. We've got Bell, Abdullah, and Gregory - we'll be fine.
And as for hockey, it's gonna be interesting because we have a new manager, a new coach, and a completely different team (with the exception of a few who made it from last year) so it'll be exciting to see the changes. Which were needed cause last year was not our best year by far.
We went for full season tickets this year, and I'm stoked cause pre-season is coming up in September. However, the boyfriend will be gone so I'll have to take someone else. Hmmm....whom to choose. Queen of the Known Universe has no interest. It's Oldest Sister's birthday so she'd have other plans. Perhaps I'll ask Smo. Or Queen of Awesome. Or P-Squared. Will have to look into that.
What else?
Okay, now that camp season is officially over I can finally post this. This is the M rated version of the 7th and 8th graders skit from this year. If you want the G rated version that they did scroll down a post.
Watch it, it will make you laugh I promise. Even if it is wildly inappropriate. I did say M rated.
Again, M Rated and they did the G version. There are many versions on Youtube but this crew is my favorite.
This one from the 90's comes in second:
Wow that's a lot faster.
The flag man is my favorite.
Though the tennis player in this one is pretty good too...
By the way, the end ballerina is usually either the captain or cruise director.
You have no idea how many times I've watched those videos and continually repeat the phrases as I walk through the library. It just brightens my day.
Though "balls to you" is frequently whispered under my breath if something bad happens.
In other news we went to World of Outlaws again this year. Donny Schatz won so balls to that. He wins everything so no one likes him.
With the exception of the like 4 people in the immediate row in front of us.
Though we spent most of our time down in the pits. It's cool cause you get to talk to all the drivers and of course the boyfriend knows all their names and all about their cars and all that. Cause he's smart like that. But his favorite driver was there so he got a couple new shirts. He and his wife have these southern accents, it's awesome.
I would have gotten shirts but I like my yellow crew shirt. Even though it means commentators will talk about it over the microphone.
I did mention that already right? We were at the races and I was talking to my friend so I wasn't paying attention when suddenly the boyfriend leans over and goes "they're talking about your shirt." I was like what? Then listened and heard "she's ignoring us..." So I turned around and they were like "heeyyyyyyy!"
Then they kept offering me money for my shirt. Which I rejected. And just when I thought it was done they brought it up again later.
Oh the joys.
But it's my fault cause it is an awesome shirt.
And bright yellow so it's hard to miss.
And speaking of all things awesome, I hit up a Saltdogs game and got paid for it!
Hey, it was for work, don't give me that look.
The game itself was a part of Summer Reading - if you completed the program you got a ticket for that one and the kids who wanted to could participate in a parade beforehand.
Which a coworker and I got forced into marshalling.
She needs a nickname, especially now that she's transferring to our branch. And I will be flailing to her frequently because that's what I did to her predecessor. She was in charge of supplies for the system and I am for our branch. Hmm...Will have to work on a nickname. Ideas?
What else? Oh yeah, got some Scale of Awesome's for you.
Guardians of the Galaxy
Scale of Awesome says 8/10. This one was actually pretty enjoyable, the boyfriend and I laughed a lot, especially about the Kevin Bacon stuff. And I'm looking into buying the soundtrack, it was pretty awesome as well.
Dish Nation
Okay so this is actually a TV series, not a movie but I'm including it because it's new to me and I like it. Basically it's a bunch of different entertainment radio morning shows that are filmed and it's hilarious. My favorite is the Rickey Smiley Morning Show out of Atlanta. It consists of Rickey Smiley, Headkrack, Rock-T and Porsha Williams. A close second is the Heidi and Frank Show or the Kidd Kraddick Show, those are both good. I don't like Seattle's which is Brooke and Jubal in the Morning but it rotates in every other week.
There, those are my three favorites. (order shown Kidd, H/F, and Rickey)
I know you don't care, but I do.
Anyway, you know how I am about media and entertainment news and all that so this is like the fun and entertaining way to keep up on my stuff. You should check it out, it's wildly entertaining.
Alright, on to the music:
Shake It Off - Taylor Swift
too catchy for its own good, it's been out like 2 days and i already bought it...i love her. i know most people don't but i really do.
All About That Bass - Meghan Trainor
which is fantastic!
and guess who just covered that one...
Home Free!!
i love those guys, but i've already rambled about them enough.
final one of the night is...
Bang Bang - Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and Jessie J
no official video for that one yet but it's still early on. and all three are huge so i'm sure it will be awesome.
And that's all I got. Wow, that was long. Should probably post more often, huh?
Up next in life is Roller Derby, TAB and (if it gets approved) a crap-ton of programming aimed at patrons aged 18-29. But we'll see about that last one. IF it does get approved, and that's a big IF, I'm gonna need some serious feedback.
Alright, have a rock star week.
A freakin' bat.

Do you want an arm or a torso?
One of the coolest things I have ever seen on TV ever.
Please tell me you get that Caddyshack reference.
That pretty much sums up my day, slow start, but madness at the end.
And it snowed!
What the crap?
Did I miss that part of the forecast? I wasn't the only one though cause we were all confused when it started.
It was supposed to be nice.
Well, nice for December.
But that's Nebraska. Here you'll turn on both the AC and the Heat in a 1 hour period. I don't know how meteorologists work where you're from, but I'm pretty sure ours just guess cause there's no way to predict it.
Originally it was supposed to snow tomorrow. I already got snowed out of one graduation so it better not do it again.
Anyway, so it was slow in the morning, but then in the afternoon everyone got all wound up about the Target hack thing so we were all freaking out about that.
Thankfully after work was much more fun, graduation dinner with the boyfriend's family.
His wickedly awesome sister-in-law.
I'm not the only one celebrating this weekend.
Dinner was fun and afterward there was a giant pig cake, hence the title of this post.
So all-in-all a good day.
On to the music, Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck: Day Seven
Jingle Bells - Charlie Parra
Wicked. For some reason I like the instrumental versions better. Guess I'm just not a fan of the lyrics.
2012 was Sungha Jung, 2011 was Glee
Walking in a Winter Wonderland - Andrews Sisters
Classic, love the harmonies.
2012 was Jason Mraz, 2011 was Dean Martin
Please Come Home For Christmas - Bon Jovi
oh my god he looks so young!
2012 was CeeLo Green
2011 Day Seven - Dashing through the melted snow in some untied tennis shoes
2012 Day Seven - If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
out. have a good weekend.

Darth Vader follows me on Twitter. Take that world.
Okay, fair warning this post is going to be music-filled cause Voice finals were tonight along with The Sing Off which I put off watching though I don't know why cause after tonight holy crap.
Seriously, watch this and tell me you aren't a fan.
Yep, going back to watch the rest of the season.
Oh look, Pentatonix.
That explains why they're everywhere.
Anyway, before all this there wasn't a lot of music, minus when I was off desk cause I do listen to my headphones when I'm off desk.
Do some dancing and all that in the elevators.
Though you really have to watch out for which elevator you're in cause we have two and one has a bigass window and that would just be bad.
The other one is super slow and claustrophobic so to pass the time it works.
Where was I?
Oh right, work.
Work was super slow today - think it was the weather, everyone was outside instead.
It was a sweltering 40-some degrees today.
You scoffed at that, but 40-something is sweltering for December in Nebraska.
There's people outside in shorts.
It's madness.
And it's supposed to continue to swelter this week and hit 49 at some point. I'm hoping the trend is slowness doesn't continue as well.
But, I do actually get a lot done when it's slow so it wasn't all that bad.
We're working on getting plastic bags for the checkout which is super boring to you, I'm aware, but big for us, well me since I'm supplies and have to write a proposal for it and all that.
Thankfully I have Superwoman around to make it all shiny and stuff.
Speaking of shiny stuff, I got my final GPA. I finished with a 3.978 which out of 4.0 isn't all that bad.
Would have been a 4.0 if not for that lone A-
Mean.
*cough*Library Goddess*cough*
What else from today that's not music-related?
Oh, so I posted on Twitter something I found online that goes a little something like this:
Jingle bells,
Twilight smells,
Edward ran away.
Bella dies,
Jacob cries,
Star Wars all the way.
Half an hour later I get a notification that Darth Vader now follows me on Twitter.
So take that world.
It's sad, but I'm proud of that.
Brother will be super jealous, though not jealous enough to actually join Twitter. Or any social network at all for that matter.
He's a lot like my dad, they're both luddites.
Dad's only experience with technology are his smart tractors and his reality-filled DVR.
Or "reality" that is.
Duck Dynasty. Swamp People. American Pickers. Big Shrimpin'. Ax Men. Pawn Stars.
There's more should I go on?
Anyway, I'm pumped. Now I will have to find more Star Wars humor and post it to keep him on my side.
Okay, now on to the music.
So yes, tonight was the Voice finals. Tessanne rocked it. She's still my number one and I think she deserves to win, but I'm secretly cheering for Will cause he's the complete underdog.
He lost in the battles then got stolen by Xtina. He lost in the knockouts then got stolen back by Adam. He beat out James, Cole and Matthew which is madness and he did it all in style.
I know, I know, you don't care, but you should watch this cause it's excellent.
Tiny Dancer
I cheered when I heard "take on an Elton John classic" then attempted to guess what it would be. Not even close.
Love those guys.
Anyway, for the - well, second to - last time here's my Top 20:
Top 20
Red - Adam
Pink - Xtina
Green - Blake
Grey - CeeLo
Tessanne Chin
Matthew Schuler - Eliminated in lives
Holly Henry - Eliminated in knockouts
Kat Robichaud - Eliminated in lives
Grey - Eliminated in live rounds
Brandon Chase - Eliminated in knockouts
Michael Lynch - Eliminated in battles
Timyra Joi - Eliminated in battles
Briana Cuoco - Eliminated in battles
Jacquie Lee
Tamara Chauniece - Eliminate in lives
Ashley Dubose - Eliminated in battles
Monika Leigh - Eliminated in battles
Shelbie Z - Eliminated in lives
James Wolpert - Eliminated in lives
Josh Logan - Eliminated in live
Caroline Pennel - Eliminated in lives
Johnny Gray - Eliminated in lives
Olivia Henken - Eliminated in lives
Ray Boudreaux - Eliminated in lives
So go Tessanne, Jacquie and Will. Whoever wins you deserve it cause this year's was crazy competitive.
Alright, on to the actual music.
Day Three of Christmas Music That Doesn't Suck
Tonight's song choices are:
Christmas Wrapping - Save Ferris
oh my god, was not expecting the twist on the lyrics, love it.
2011 was The Waitresses, 2012 was The Donnas
Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Cimorelli
no, i don't expect you to know who they are, but you should check them out. they've done a ton of covers, my favorite of which is probably Call Me Maybe that they turn into an 80's workout video.
2011 was Glee, 2012 was Michael Buble
Let It Snow - Christina Perri
love her, she's great, but you know that already since i've posted like 8 things by her already on here.
2011 was Michael Buble, 2012 was Frank Sinatra
this was a close second for that last one:
shutup wesley!
2011 Day Three - You Better Not Pout, I'm Telling You Why
2012 Day Three - You Mean You Forgot Cranberries Too?
and speaking of 80's workout videos, check this out if you haven't already:
Library. Desk. Potatoes.
out, legit pre-midnight, holy crap tag in use.
Seriously, watch this and tell me you aren't a fan.
Yep, going back to watch the rest of the season.
Oh look, Pentatonix.
That explains why they're everywhere.

Tonight's song choices are:

2011 was The Waitresses, 2012 was The Donnas
Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Cimorelli
no, i don't expect you to know who they are, but you should check them out. they've done a ton of covers, my favorite of which is probably Call Me Maybe that they turn into an 80's workout video.
2011 was Glee, 2012 was Michael Buble
Let It Snow - Christina Perri

2011 was Michael Buble, 2012 was Frank Sinatra
