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
2011 Day Six - Troll the ancient yuletide, Carol!
2012 Day Six - What a bright time, it's the right time
2013 Day Six - Dr. Seuss is my favorite rapper

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

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.
