Apparently we are released from work at 2 on Friday, which is good as I have yet to obtain several important Xmas presents.

I have had the chance to hear a lot of Xmas songs lately and I have been thinkning:

I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUSE.

A kid sees her mother kissing and tickling Father Christmas. The kid's father must be resigned to being a cuckold or have a strange sense of humor if he would have "a laugh" about seeing his getting cozy with a fat bearded man underneath the mistletoe.

RUDOLPH
This song has always bugged the shit out of me. A reindeer is born looking different from his peers, they reject him because of it and the big man in charge condones it all. But suddenly he comes in handy and everyone changes their minds and Rudolph is all, "Yes, Masssa, I'd a-luv tah guide yall's sleigh tonight!"

I heard a version at work that had a verse that said something about, "Rudolph said, 'No! I ain't havin' none of this!'"

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

My favorite Xmas song, when it's done very traditionally and simply. The lines "I played my best for him...I played my drum for him" brings tears to my eyes. Not that that's hard or anything, but still. It's moving for me to imagine the LDB putting doing the very best he can and being all like a little toddler saying "I played my drum for him!"

CAROL OF THE BELLS

Love it. I don't know if I'm stating it correctly, but it's all verses I think. There is no chorus, but there is a lot of repition in the sounds until the really great words at the end

"Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
On on they send,
on without end,
their joyful tone to every home
Dong Ding dong ding, dong Bong."

AVE MARIA

I put this on my iPod sometimes at all times of the year. It's just plain good.

Oops.

Daddy was dressed up as Santa Clause, ding ding.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:00 (seventeen years ago) link

But as a gay you wouldn't understand the importance of cosplay to family values.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:02 (seventeen years ago) link

What's freaks me out about that song is that the kid is traumatized by seeing his mom make out with who he thinks is another man, and yet... he doesn't sound upset enough.

That's what I was getting at. (The renditions I've heard have been females singing, and one sounds like Baby Jane at her most deranged.)

Jenny, re-read what I said, re-engage the old thinker for a minute, and then STFU.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Oooh. I see. I'm not up on the lingo. Big surprise. That sounds too close to Cosby to be appealing to me. "Dressing up" is one more syllable and does not conjure up the ur-dad.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I was just lying in bed chuckling about the stunts my co-worker pulls. He is the 50-something homo who is virulently racist, but a jokester and pretty funny.

The one that I was remembering was that he hung mistletoe above the urinals at the restaurant. The gen. manager was *furious*.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

He's about 250 lb, baaaad teeth, pretty rough, mottled skin, cropped, balding head. And no matter how many guests are around--in a supposedly fine-dining atmosphere--he will lift a corner of his apron, loudly imitate Heidi Klum from Project Runway, and boldly skip across the dining room. Sometimes he looks bored/angry and acts like a model on the catwalk.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I cunt stop laughing.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:32 (seventeen years ago) link

speaking of mistletoe, it's almost time for me to break out the mistletoe belt buckle. maybe it will work THIS year!

chicago, if the sun doesn't come out soon i think i'm going to throw myself in front of an el train. i think i need to start mega-dosing vitamin d or something because all i want to do is sleep all the time and i can't seem to make myself care about anything.

i fucking HATE the winter, i need to go somewhere warm. and light.

otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I would do very well in Seattle because I really like this weather. Not at all a big fan of silly, vapid springtime (and way less so of summer.)

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Please. There is no better smell on earth than that of fresh, recently thawed mud.

Which reminds me -- I got my shipment from the Alchemical Laboratory of Scents and my favorite favorite one smells like dirt + white flowers. I love it. It's called DEATH CAP.

not that i want to line up according to our favorite season AGAIN

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, except for baking bread, sauteeing onions and cookies. Those smells are pretty good too.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

PS Thank you Imitrex for helping me with headache.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

the lack of sunlight kills me every year but moreso this year. i'm in the midst of a horrible horrible stretch right now and i'm pretty desperate to get out of town.

otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 14:57 (seventeen years ago) link

My favorite sample scent from the Lab is King of Hearts, which I'm wearing today. Rosewood and black cherry with white musk, red rose, red musk and a spark of lavender. I want to smell more more more scents. My only regret is that perhaps I should have chosen scents from different categories instead of just from two, but there is still a decent variety.

Calico (calico), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost-- that smell sounds great! (I read DEATH CAMP and had a moment of wondering if maybe the Alchemical folks weren't going a little far with the whole gothy-dark-beauty thing by making allusions to concentration camps.)


Smells I like:

Dirt
coconut
the smell of clean, fresh sweat
rain

My dumb ex hated the smell of rain, something that I could never understand. How can you actually HATE that smell? He too was not a fan of sunny days, but only because he was too fabulous to be out during sunlit hours. He had blackout curtains on his windows and would put of blankets on my windows when he stayed over. He even tacked up a quilt over the bathroom skylight. Then he and his DJ friends would hang out talking about "I just don't understand how anyone can work a day job" like most people would say "I don't understand how anyone can sell heroin to middleschoolers."

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Another favorite smell:

"Sparkling Snow" from Glade. I stock up on cans of this during the holidays. Also, pine-scented candles.

Kevotto, I thought you were heading south soon (I remember you mentioning making plane reservations), or was I mistaken?

Also, hi everyone. I am staying home this morning waiting for my friend to ride in from the airport. I'm also trying to motivate myself to clean the bathroom while I'm waiting, but so far have not had any luck with that.

I like winter, because I hate sweating.

I like early spring, because of cool, breezy days. And I like outdoor activities.

All it takes to get me cleaning the bathroom is the prospect of writing a cover letter or doing homework when I'm in school.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Oooh Sarah, that one sounds goooood. I am officially an Alchemy Lab addict. It didn't take much. I am saving one of the scents to take with me to UK so I can remember the trip when I smell it.

Do you (chilx) think customs/Homelnd Sec. will confiscate my little vial of perfume if it has a weird name?

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Only if it's bigger than what, 3oz.? I don't think the name will have any effect.

Make sure it's all in a ziploc bag too if you're carrying it on. If you're checking the bag none of this matters.

hi Chicago. I'm hanging out at Midway airport all day because I missed my flight home! any of y'all flying away for the holidays: don't be an idiot like me; arrive more than an hour early for your flights.

JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:41 (seventeen years ago) link

xp - Ok, cool. It's in a tiny little vial. If only I had 3 oz. of this intoxicating elixir.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I want more of the one I want on, but also I want to smell ALL the scents, so I should just wait and then order more (different) samples in a few months.

I love the Stars song Death is Death. I keep it singing it this morning.

Calico (calico), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Yo soy loco from too much coffee this morning.

FOUR DAY WEEKEEEEENNNNNND

It starts with a rock show tonight and I'm going to keep the drink, food, and tunes rolling until Tuesday.

JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 21 December 2006 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Niiicceee.

I think maybe I'll drink around my family this Christmas, just to mix things up a bit.

Calico (calico), Thursday, 21 December 2006 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, I'm not complaining about a lack of presents any more. Two vendors have given me bottles of wine, one gave me chocolates, and one coworker gave me the wine & champagne out of one of her gift baskets. Then just now one of my coworkers, this guy who is NEVER in the office, gave me a $50 gift certificate to Aldo! Plus, I've got that $150 gift card for Nike. I'm feeling pretty set.

Calico (calico), Thursday, 21 December 2006 16:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Whoa. There are no presents here, no Secret Santa, no Chsistmas bonuses, nothing. I've gotten free lunch all week, though.
