Yeah, you're gonna be getting a lot of these guys this year. Get used to it, they're fantastic. They were incredible in person too.
2013 was Jewel, 2012 was Karmin, 2011 was She & Him
Jingle Bell Rock - Billy Idol
Oh my god, it is actually Billy Idol. I thought for sure this was fake when scrolling through Youtube. Upon realization I am posting it. Cause I'm amused. Another fun one to see live. While I didn't see this one - obviously as I did not know it existed - I did see him sing White Wedding at Warped Tour in Denver in '05. It was fantastic.
2013 was Kurt, Max and Macy Kate, 2012 was Chord Overstreet, 2011 was Brenda Lee
You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch - Tay Zonday
Well, he's got the voice for it...
2013 was Urban Method, 2012 was VersaEmerge (MY FAVORITE), 2011 was the original Thurl Ravenscroft Grinch version

Dr. Seuss is my favorite rapper.
So I woke up to like 16 missed messages and I freaked out cause I assumed they were from the boyfriend saying he was gonna be switched to second, but no, they were all from the women in my family about food for the graduation party on Saturday.
Meat and cheese trays, chili, chips and salsa, salads, cake, mints, punch, and a whole lot of liquor make up the menu. It should be fun.
Interesting day at the library.
Had a lot of fun with the Queen of the Known Universe. I'm pretty sure we scared off an aide after she called me a bitch and I laughed.
He's new.
And there's more to that story but I can't tell you.
It was a joke, by the way.
I mean, I hope I'm not actually a bitch, though I was giving her crap so I deserved it.
Preceding that was a staff meeting - we're rearranging. The back room is done so now it's on to second floor, next will be the front desk - and following that was holiday party shopping for TAB.
Ordered my pizza to be picked up Saturday morning, got my ice cream, fruit, juice, and eggnog.
Which is gross, btw, but they like it.
I don't get it.
But the party was a lot of fun last year with pizza, ice cream and board games so we're doing it again. This time minus the secret santa/white elephant thing.
Should be fun.
So I was all over the place all day and I'm glad to be sitting now.
Though a night off meant I had to do everything I avoided all week once I got home.
Paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwork.
And mailing camp stuff.
Blah.
But that's okay, it's done now.
I can celebrate. And I'll do that by watching the Sing Off.
It is a 2 week event so it's on constantly. I'm loving Home Free, the rest are pretty good too, but they're the clear front-runner.
I'm getting really excited with all these Olympic commercials on.
I love the Olympics, I'm a total nerd. I watch them all.
Though the skiing and shooting thing, where they ski with guns on their back kind of freaks me out.
I don't remember what that one is called, but is that seriously a sport? It's madness.
Mom is into the figure skating so we always used to watch that. So is Grams.
I love all the snowboarding stuff and the big jumps.
Way cool.
Alright, that's all the rambling I've got for the night.
Think I'm gonna konk out early. Exhausted after today.
On to the music, Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck: Day Six
Songs for tonight include:
Sleigh Ride - Jewel
actually watching her right now on the Sing Off and diggin' it.
2012 was Karmin, 2011 was She & Him
Jingle Bell Rock - Kurt, Max and Macy Kate
i got distracted with all the phone stuff before i realized they actually have great voices.
2012 was Chord Overstreet, 2011 was Brenda Lee
You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch - Urban Method
and speaking of the sing-off, nice. "when you rap seuss you win hearts."
2012 was VersaEmerge WATCH THAT ONE IT'S FANTASTIC, 2011 was the original Thurl Ravenscroft Grinch version
2011 Day Six - Troll the ancient yuletide, Carol!

what a bright time, it's the right time
It's interesting how fast days are flying by.
I just want everything to stop, literally just stop and go slower.
Christmas is the best time of the year and it's almost over already!!
Last year didn't feel like Christmas at all cause there was no snow, this year it's mad snowing outside right now. If the temps stay low maybe some of it will still be around next week.
But probably not enough to go sledding.
We'll see.
Though we're rednecks so our version of sledding is hooking up a sled behind a four wheeler.
Or what you would call an ATV.
Then driving it all over the yard, through the fields, over the pond, over buried cars, etc.
Have some interesting memories from sledding. Remember one time Tweet was driving the 4 wheeler and Alex and I were in the sled, he was in the front, we hit a bump, he fell out - somehow over the front - and I ran him over with the sled. My bad. But not like I could do anything about it we were going that fast.
Another time my brother was driving and he used to have this big black lab that was very excited about cars and stuff so he totally took me out on the sled, didn't even see it coming.
Then I ran Megan into a mailbox.
That was legitimately my bad.
The thing about this one was that the rope was really long and you have to remember that when you turn corners. Gotta remember to turn wide or you'll end up running your third cousin straight into the mailbox.
But she survived so we're good.
Megan and I have been through a lot together - "those are gonna be some weirdass dreams" Camp J Highlights - but somehow our adventures are always highly entertaining.
So worked all day today and it flew by. Am shifting the books on CD cause we're out of space and weeding any more of them would be ridiculous. Anyway, BossLady and I are adding shelves so I got to stand in the broken glass while she climbed over stuff to get the nice looking ones from the backroom of the basement.
It's like a graveyard down there, I should have taken a picture. Piles taller than me full of shelves and edges.
"Like graveyard jenga down here."
Why yes, I do still say that in a Scottish accent. Go here or here or here or here or here but mostly here
Wow, have I really abstained from that saying that phrase for over a year?
"Result!"
I realized you have no idea what I'm talking about. You should all go to your local library and request a copy of Bonekickers. It's fantastic. British CSI meets Indiana Jones. It was so cheesy it was awesome. Though the critics didn't think so which is why it only lasted a few episodes.
After doing that for a few hours it was back to the desk, lunch, checking in holds, then more shifting and desk stuff. Tomorrow will most likely be more of the same.
Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck: Day Six
Slight changes to day six, last year I included Glee's mashup of Deck the Halls and Up on the Rooftop and as much as it doesn't suck I can't post it again as it would kill the whole, same songs different artists thing.
On to the music.
Sleigh Ride - Karmin
Last year's was one of my favorite bands - She and Him - but this year I went with a Nebraska girl. More specifically, college town girl. A quite famous one.
Nice to hear the other half of Karmin in this one - aka her fiance.
I like the new one but it's hard to beat Brokenhearted.
It's just too damn catchy.
Jingle Bell Rock - Chord Overstreet
Because who doesn't want to dance with cheerleaders dressed as reindeer to a choreographed song about dancing bells in the middle of a library?
I'm so far behind but Glee-Loving Boss - for the 2 seconds that I saw him when I was at the home branch - said I need to watch the Xmas episode. I don't even know who's in it anymore aside from Blaine cause of the Hopelessly Devoted to You video I ran across earlier. Go here: There's no where to hide since you pushed my love aside
You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch - VersaEmerge (acoustic version)
The girl is pretty good but dude, that guy's got a voice.
Was not expecting that at all. Might have to look into them further.
For last year's day six go here
with arsenic sauce.

Troll the ancient yuletide, Carol!
Alright, so it's official.
Library Fever has spread even farther in our family.
Squirt is officially a volunteer at the work branch.
It was amusing because when I asked people if they had met her they commented on the red highlights. Yes, I take full credit for those. Especially since Oldest Sister blames them on me.
I can't help it if I'm just that awesome that people want to be like me.
She has inherited a lot from me though, besides the red hair. She's got the snark, the blog, and the tom-boyishness (from time to time when she's not wearing spandex to play volleyball or screaming about snakes in the grass while playing soccer), and now she's got the library.
Could be a foot in the door kind of thing. If she likes it maybe she'd want to be an Aide. But that's far far in the future.
No one believes it when I tell them she's only 14. She's taller than me. She's also not allowed to stand next to me in pictures. Cause I feel short. Though I still call her Squirt. It's catching on, Slim Shady did as well.
But she's excited about her nametag - of all things - and she seemed to do pretty well with shelf-reading, so who knows.
I've got people watching out for her, favorite patron included. He was excited to meet her. I'm scared they will bond and swap stories. Maybe this was a bad idea.
All in all it was a fantastic day. Made a lot of progress on both ongoing projects aka YA section and supplies list. Though it took me half an hour just to list everything sitting on two shelves of one cabinet. And that's just one cabinet. This is gonna take forever. I'm making a spreadsheet, I figured that was the easiest way to figure out what we have and what we need. Plus I can send it out so others will know where to find things.
Aside from all that I hung out at Oldest Sister's house for a while, ate with them and then came back here to write. AND IT WORKED! I've been writing for almost two hours straight now. This whole apartment story is taking shape. No idea what I'll do with it when it's done, well, if it gets done. There's still a lot to do. Out of the 10 tenants all the stories have been started, but there is like one that's finished. And that's not even finished finished, it's just slightly finished. Cause it's at the end of a scene. So I could end it there, but people would kill me. They already attempted it in college when they wanted to know what happened next. Yes, I'm pilfering my college stuff. But only the good ones. It's amusing with the change of scenery to be thrown in since the apartment complex is in LA. Brings a whole new element to all of them.
Okay, so far I've got
Apartment 1: The Exotic Dancers Next Door, I blame this idea completely on a night out watching a friend's band with Superwoman, the awesomeness that is Barb and Slim Shady in which there literally were exotic dancers next door.
2: Sketch and Edit, which I have plenty of. Though I feel like I should reformat them so they'll fit in with the rest of the story. But then I can't cause they wouldn't be Sketch and Edit.
Though I really don't need to since each story is different in formatting, person, tense, and all that jazz. The only reason I'm tying them all together in the first place is because I'm making them all live in the same apartment building that gets mentioned at least once in each story and then I'll bring them together in the end when I either decide to burn down the building from the kid in apartment 7's mad science experiment, or when the tenants in 4 and 8 get married. But I'm still deciding on the end. Like I said, work in progress.
3: Kris's awkward 4th of July experience entitled "Oh What a Tangled Web We Weave", this is the one from college everyone wants me to add to. But it's hard as I like it the way it is. So did the prof, she said read the whole thing through because she was so into it, then had to go back and make comments.
4: Is a chick in love with the dude in apartment 8. They have their own balcony scene, it's a comedy go with it.
5: This is Lindsay, she breaks up a wedding, confusion ensues.
6: Jake lives here, he moved here from a rural town after, well, okay the only clue I'm giving you with this story is that it's entitled "One Headlight" turn on some Wallflowers and you'll figure it out. It's the only one of them so far that's completely emotional and not funny at all.
7: The insane teenager living with his mom. The first scene takes place at the shrink's office after he punched the lights out of the school bully.
8: The landscaper by day, waiter by night who has bad luck in love until he meets the upstairs neighbor in apartment 4. Balcony scene included.
9: Is Jax. He's an assassin. This is the sole story that's actually finished. And that's only because I can absolutely not add anything more to it's ending. If I do it will screw over the entire story. Inspiration for that one came after I got smashed by an idiot at an intersection, which is funny because the car crash scene is just a mere page compared to the rest of it. Anyway, so there was that but I also got it from a story we read in college about an office building, each person there had their own story - sound familiar? almost like an apartment complex, hmm - one of them was a serial killer. Everyone knew but he didn't kill any of them so they didn't care. Jax is a bit more discreet about it so they're not aware.
10: Thomas Family. Mom, Dad, Teenage Girl, Tween Boy. Teenage girl has a thing for a library boy. That's as far as I've gotten. But at least it's written down!
So yes, they're completely different stories about completely different people in completely different writing styles, and maybe it's a completely stupid idea but I'm up for the challenge. and it keeps me entertained.
But it's ongoing, so I'll keep you posted.
Alright, music rec's of the night, let's see. We went with sacred yesterday so let's throw in some silly. I live my life behind the tab. Sorry, obscure camp reference, I get those daily.
Speaking of obscure references, I quoted Caddyshack today and pretty sure no one had any idea what I was talking about.
Superwoman said I should help out with the TAB program at one of the branches in January and I said, "Oh, Das all I need! Tanks for nuthin' Danny Noonan!" and got nothing.
Not surprising, there's a lot of quotes that float around in my head throughout the day, I'm sure half of them are obscure enough to only be recognized by hard-core fans of either Friends, Charmed, or Just Shoot Me.
Moving on.
Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck: Day Six
"Sleigh Ride" She and Him
i cannot pimp this album any more, it's fantastic, buy it! or check it out! somewhere! this is one of the few songs in which he actually does vocals. and i'm not talking few on this album, i mean few period. it's usually just Zooey, which is fine as and she is fantastic, but it's cool to hear his voice as well.
"You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"
classic movie is the best, no offense to jim carrey, who's also fantastic but not as fantastic as boris karloff. i watch it every christmas and read the book, though i have them both memorized.
oh my god, just saw this and loved it. You're a Mean One, Emperor Palpatine and the dark side really does wonders for your complexion.
"Jingle Bell Rock" Brenda Lee
while Bobby Helms version is good as well, I like this one better. or i could have posted the Mean Girls version, but that just makes me laugh.
"Deck the Rooftop" Glee Cast
so, if you were ever in a dire place in life when you couldn't choose between "up on the housetop" and "deck the halls" you could simply turn on this mashup.
OUT!
