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.

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!
2012 Day Six - What a bright time, it's the right time
oh god that 2011 post was about the evolution of the apartment story, has it seriously been that long since i started that monster of a story.
now that i have more time i should get back to that.
legit pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.

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

Day Three of Christmas Music That Doesn't Suck

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
