Merry Christmas you filthy animal.
The boyfriend's birthday today so I could finally give him his present.
Which means I can finally tell you what it was.
He once said if he could ever have season tickets to anything it would be Stars Hockey so I got him season tickets for the rest of the season.
Now there is a game on Valentine's Day so I need to remember that that is entirely my fault.
He seemed excited so I'm calling it a victory.
Along with the fact that he never figured out what it was after months of guessing.
Victory.
That's basically all I remember from today.
Gave him that, we went to dinner then watched Home Alone.
We're doing it backwards cause last week we watched the second one.
Marathons.
Nothing major from work, except it went by super fast.
Tomorrow is staff meeting and food day so I should konk out soon.
And yes, I did watch the Voice finale and it's killing me not posting about it but I figured I'm already hitting you with enough music so I'll ramble about it after all the Xmas music.
I do have to point out that my pick won it all.
Which makes me 2/4 since I picked Cassadee Pope 2 seasons ago.
And I've only watched 4 seasons of it.
I'm just glad the one with the best voice finally won it.
I mean Judith Hill seriously should have won last season. A lot of people said Amanda Brown was the best the season before that but I liked Cassadee better.
Cause I was a fan of Hey Monday before they got popular.
I don't remember much about season two except I was for Jordis and she got hosed.
Oh, Juliet, she should have won but she got second.
Started Blake's three-peat but now Adam is back on top.
Anyway, enough with my ramblings. I'll post those clips after Xmas.
On to the music.
Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck: Day Five
Oh Little Town of Bethlehem - Shawn McDonald
if you're into christian music you should check out his song Rise, very catchy, very cool.
2012 was Sinatra, 2011 was Sarah McLachlan
Silent Night - Kelly Clarkson
crazy talented, been a fan since Idol. the one year i watched it. i could link you to like 20 of my favorites by her but i'll just stick with one. my favorite we used to sing over and over in high school. Respect.
2012 was SNL, 2011 was Aly & AJ
What Child is This - Lindsey Stirling
yes it's instrumental but i like it. she's the one that covered Radioactive with Pentatonix which I posted last week. check it out here.
2012 was Carrie Underwood, 2011 was Charlotte Church
out.
2011 Day Five - Battle of the Blogs, Gypsy Caroling, Fat Cats, Whom Shepherds Guard and Angels Sing
2012 Day Five - I'll Deck Your Halls

As legendary gangsta rap icon Katharine Hepburn once said...
2013 Grammy Award Highlights:
Drinking Game - take a shot every time LL Cool J says "hashtag"
Which of course I didn't, cause according to Deb you'd be "drunk in 20 seconds." I enjoy commentating on Facebook, you get the best comments. Ladies Love Cool James was a pretty great host, I enjoyed his final performance, Travis Barker on drums!!! I was expecting more humor out of him, but the serious approach worked well.
Taylor Swift = T-Swizzle
Taylor was having a ball tonight. Only nominated for like 1 or 2 awards total the only time the camera was on her for longer than 2 seconds she was dancing in the audience. To like every song. I can think of 3 separate occasions where the camera panned to her dancing. It was highly entertaining.
"and Justin Timberlake returns to music on the Grammy stage" did I miss the part where he left the stage?
Did he take a break and I didn't notice? I guess that's what happens when you get married and focus on your acting career.
"As legendary gangsta rap icon Katharine Hepburn once said..." - Neil Patrick Harris
I really have no comment to this, just that I love Neil Patrick Harris.
"If this is in HD everyone can see our faces and we are not very young." - Fun.
Lena Dunham in the house! She's dating their guitarist so I cheered every time she was on screen. Fun. dominated tonight. That's all I can say. They're fantastic. Though not usually a good idea to announce you have to pee in a thank you speech.
"I got stuck to Miranda Lambert, there's a story in a song...for later, after alcohol...I'm just kidding children."
Best moment of the entire night. Kelly Clarkson wins, hugs half the audience on her way to the stage, gets stuck to Miranda Lambert, totally flustered when giving her speech claiming she didn't think she'd win it. She was great later in the show too with her tributes to the honorary winners. Flashbacks to her early career on American Idol, the only season I watched was the first when she won.
"And if you don't win, don't worry. I was never even nominated in this category and I have my own eyelash line...take that Bon Iver!"
I love Katy Perry, and her shoutout. Why wasn't she nominated for Best New Artist? She dominated the charts? That's weird. It's funny though because when one half of a couple is onstage the other half automatically gets panned to - John Mayer to Katy Perry, Miranda to Blake, Keith to Nicole, Beyonce to Jay-Z, etc.
"Max, even snakes have been on a plane."
Kat Freakin' Dennings!! Literally screamed. Stoked for 2 Broke Girls tomorrow, especially since it's a Grammys episode. Curious about how that will work.
"Most artists who win album of the year tend to go on to have even more phenomenal global success, embark on humongous tours OR get knocked up like last year's winner."
I flippin' love Adele, she's hysterical. Especially at awards shows. It wasn't a big surprise that she won tonight, especially after winning like 6 last year. Mass hysteria. Anyway, she's allowed to say this, because she was last year's winner.
Ended the night with 7/11 correct, which isn't awful but it's not great either. Music Awards aren't my forte because I don't listen to the radio - I always have my ipod and plug that into the car and everything. I mean it's not like I know nothing, I still buy their songs to play on the ipod.
So, as for performances the Black Keys stole the stage, and the tribute to Bob Marley was super cool with Bruno Mars, Sting and Rihanna. Though I was confused as to why Bruno sang his own song first since it was supposed to be a tribute. Granted he did admit that he used the melody of Marley's song "No Woman, No Cry" as inspiration.
Here's the tribute:
Here's the Black Keys:
I love these guys, they're great and they don't get enough attention. Here's my favorite of theirs which I blame entirely on Oldest Sister:
Tighten Up - The Black Keys
this video makes me laugh.
So that's one half of the music rec's the other I found on iTunes, and since I don't listen to the radio this could already be a big hit and I have no idea. If it's not yet, it will be soon so you should listen, it's great.
Troublemaker - Olly Murs feat. Flo Rida
doesn't hurt that he sounds just like Adam Levine. but it's very catchy, reminds me a bit of Misery by Maroon 5.
Seriously, compare and contrast:
Misery - Maroon 5
aside from their voices, the melodies are also very similar.
i love this song, in my top 5 of theirs which is saying something because i've become crazy obsessive about them and their music since Second Sister got us all hooked. Plus he's on the Voice so that's only intensified it all.
Alright, I'm out. Sleeping in tomorrow cause I don't go in until 4. After that it's date night with the boyfriend.

bang she shot you, karma tastes so...
Joe Studley calling in sick means me at the home branch all day, jamming out with my big brother coworker.
He's a cool guy so the day flew by fairly quickly.
Was amusing to go back to old habits, though he got the bookdrop I still went straight to routine with the holds list/expired/cancelled/counting money/checking in delivery/etc.
Hit up Arby's for lunch, that rocked.
And basically just jammed around all day.
Though for some reason I'm exhausted, which makes no sense cause while the work branch is constantly busy, the home branch is more relaxed. So it doesn't make sense.
Maybe it's a state of mind thing. Zenned out.
I'm tired.
And waking up early tomorrow morning so will probably konk out within the next few minutes.
Clips of the night were basically from - you know how you can go on youtube to find one video and you end up finding like eight you weren't planning to find?
It's like a train of thought thing like, "hey, i'm gonna look for culps seminar videos."
"it's really inspiring that all of you decided to attend this mandatory drug awareness assembly..."
"i love will ferrell and ana gasteyer, let's do a search for the perfect cheer." "oh my god, why has no one uploaded videos of the perfect cheer?" "i bet i can find some amateurs."
"oh my god, if you could hear them speak they are dead on!" "those were some killer moves. let's look for some videos on breakdancing."
"oh my god that's ridiculously cool. let's find something else ridiculously cool." "who's ridiculously cool and her music is stuck in my head? kelly clarkson of course."
"well that was....interesting." "what's the name of that song from her new CD?" "oh, that's right." "wow, his cover is really cool, let's post that version."
"I Forgive You" Kelly Clarkson cover by Ben Mallare
"very impressive. almost better than the original." "who else has a killer voice?" "oh yeah..."
"Bang Bang Bang" Christina Perri
"oh my god, she's fantastic live. i wanna go." "you know who else is great live?"
"speaking of having a new hairstyle and outfit practically every time she walks through a door..."
"though when i hear gaga i think of this"
"oh my god, i love sue sylvester. she needs a 'best of' video." "bet i could find one."
"aww, she's so cool. i want one. a sue sylvester that is. guess i should attempt to be more badass in the future." "speaking of badasses..."
there were more, but i'm cutting myself and you off.
cause we need a break.
WE WERE ON A BREAK!!
okay now i'm done.
gotta sleep.
like now.
early morning + long day tomorrow.
OUT!

Just stop! Cause I really love you...
Today in a nutshell...crap, now I'm quoting Austin Powers. "What kind of a shell has a nut like this?!"
Shelved and finished the weed list, then had lunch - chili and chicken salad sandwich same thing everyday - it was awesome, then spent the majority of my afternoon in the backroom which I actually like because I can get a lot done. After all that was homework which I'm finally finished with, huzzah!
Highlight of the day was tonight, got a text from the Cool Aunt telling me I'm supposed to help the Library Goddess move furniture after class tomorrow. So random it cracked me up. She's lucky I like her!
Songs for the night and then I'm out, early morning tomorrow!
"Fill Me In" Craig David
i'm sorry, but his standing on the balcony just cracks me up.
gotta love the song - grade school flashback.
aannnd from my favorite episode of Will and Grace - the Old Fashion Piano Party
"Love Will Keep Us Together"
"It's kind of like an old fashion bore but it has the words 'piano' and 'party' in it." I love Karen Walker.
and "Will" aka Eric McCormack has an excellent voice!
okay real version.
k, i lied. but i love this version! this was back when i was still watching the show. but i always do the dance and sing the harmony when i hear the song now. it stuck with me. i hope it sticks with you. but maybe minus the justin intro/ending. love how the crowd goes wild at 1:02...no way to predict who was going to win this year...haha. She deserved/s it!
actual real version and i'm out.
....this isn't dubbed what are you talking about?!...
