Baby it's Cold Outside - Skyler Astin and Briga Heelan
Yes, that is the guy from Pitch Perfect. He stars in this comedy series called Ground Floor. I've seen a few episodes, it's not bad.
2011 was Tallulah Bankhead and Jack Carson - my favorite version - 2012 was She & Him, 2013 was Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lady Gaga

Love her, always have. Growing up my favorite movie was Calamity Jane, must have watched it a thousand times.

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - She & Him
I KNOW! It took long enough for me to find one I hadn't already posted. I love their Christmas album, it was the first one I took out to my car this winter. I actually own the physical album instead of just buying it on iTunes. They were also fantastic live.
2011 was Toby Keith, 2012 was Brenda Lee, 2013 was Glee Cast
I'll Be Home For Christmas - Tommy Kraft
Acoustic, love the guitar in this one.
2011 was She & Him, 2012 was Kristin Chenoweth, 2013 was Gabe Bondoc

and the game of golf was invented
Yes, I know. I'm late again.
Went out to dinner with the boyfriend's family for his birthday and then after we went to see the Hobbit 3D.
Which didn't get out 'til midnight.
It was pretty good though. Not as good as the first movies but maybe the sequel will be better.
Scale of Awesome puts it at around 7/10. It had it's moments. That sounds like it's bad, it's not bad. It was good, just not as good as I thought it would be. But it's hard not to build it up when the first three were awesome.
Though I do enjoy Martin Freeman as Bilbo. Benedict Cumberbatch was in it as well, though you couldn't tell it was him. Looks like he'll have a bigger role in the next two. I just love that both of them are in it.
Please tell me you've seen the latest BBC version of Sherlock.
If not go here: Amber Atkins that is not American Teen Princess Language
What else from yesterday?
Slept in, jammed out with the boyfriend. Watched Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter - which I've already reviewed here: Dick Cheney, Vampire Slayer - and The Raven. I slept through part of it but for the parts that I watched it was pretty good. Think I'll go back and watch it again. At the moment it's around an 8/10, but maybe that'll change once I see it all the way through.
Alright, on to the music.
Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck: Day Nine
Baby it's cold outside - She and Him
love these guys. in my top 5 of favorite bands.
Silver bells - Twisted Sister
ummm, okay. so the beginning is a little questionable. okay the whole video but the music is great.
Rockin' around the Christmas tree - Brenda Lee
original version is still the best
I'll be home for Christmas - Kristin Chenoweth
great voice, very impressive.
and good timing as i'm headed out to the farmhouse this weekend.
me and carter, i'm sure my mother is thrilled.
but it'll probably be like last year - take him home over christmas and then he'll stay there through new years. otherwise i have to load him up and bring him back twice and he hates the car. as you've heard many times. i'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find multiple lists of the songs he hates.
and i'm off.

I'll be home for Christmas, You can count on me.
A semi-normal day at the library.
Sort of.
What's becoming normal anyway.
I was at the desk for a couple hours but it was mostly off-desk projects that took up the majority of my time today. Did my first set of supply rounds today, super exciting.
More of the same tomorrow.
And actually finished going through the YA section, now all that's left is the display area. It's not much of a display, Girlscout says it feels like a waiting room. I'll fix it. Eventually.
It was weird though cause I kept delegating things to Friday.
Oh I'll do that Friday.
And I can wait for that until Friday.
Hey, can you look at that Friday?
Then Second Sister said "okay, tomorrow" and I went, ah crap. Friday's tomorrow.
Not that I didn't know it was Thursday, I did subliminally. It says that in big bold letters on the schedule I stared at on multiple occasions today.
Can't believe it's the Thursday before Christmas.
Does it feel like Christmas to any of you?
Cause it doesn't to me.
Maybe that's cause I'm working more than ever before.
I'm used to weeks off from school and snow on the ground.
Now I'm doing nothing but work and there is not a single flake of snow on the ground.
Now wait, I'll wake up tomorrow to a blizzard and you will all blame me.
I've now realized that I have to take Carter to the farmhouse for Christmas. He will love it, he loves the farmhouse, more specifically the basement.
Seriously weird cat.
Cause no one likes that basement, it's creepy.
I cleaned out the whole thing, painted the walls lime green and blue, made a lounge out of the thing and I still don't like the basement. Though it's still got the paintjob and my awesome Harry Potter and Scooby Doo stickers all over the wall.
But he likes it. There's this giant cabinet thing that my brother covered in radio station stickers - no idea why - that he sits on top of and crawls up into the ceiling. No idea where that leads. Or if I should be worried. Or why there's a hole there in the first place.
I think he also likes it because there are window wells that the outdoor cats sit in. Ha! you're out in the cold and I get to lounge in the heat. I will now stare you down. Yes, look away, look away jealous outdoor cats. Though not as pleasing as when he struts back and forth inside the glass doors while the outdoor cats stare at him in spite. I'm so cool and you're just cold.
He's a punk.
A big fat one.
But he's my punk so I love him.
So does his grandma on occasion.
But never grandpa.
Ironically that's the only person he doesn't bite.
Like I said, weird cat.
Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck: Day Nine
Yes you're getting a lot of them tonight, you can pick and choose.
"Baby It's Cold Outside" Tallulah Bankhead and Jack Carson
"i said i'd stay..."
I cannot pimp this song enough. It's fantastic, hilarious, and completely Tallulah. It just sums up her personality perfectly.
"Silver Bells" Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney
i was going to post She & Him's version of this, but this is just classic.
Besides, then it would have been redundant to post this:
"I'll Be Home For Christmas" She & Him
it's just so simple and clean. that's why i love their christmas album, they don't kill the classics, they just bring them back.
"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" Toby Keith
Though Brenda Lee clearly sings it the best - her version is definitely in my top 5 Christmas songs of all time - I haven't posted a lot of Country-fied versions of songs yet. This one is actually not bad.
Aaannd! Here's a bonus one,
Sensei's Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck
"Christmas Can Can" Straight No Chaser
love the mashup, that's fantastic. thanks for the rec.
I keep watching it over and over just for the Jewish rant but mostly 2:17.
Big day tomorrow. Off at 4 to pick up Grams, then it's the pitch party, then gotta pack up my big fat cat and all the rest of my stuff to go jam at the farmhouse for a few days.
It's funny, work makes the day fly by so fast - who can say that and mean it, seriously I love my job - but I was hoping this week would go slower. I don't want Christmas to be over yet!
