Merry Christmas/Hanukkah (on Monday)/Festivus/Yule/Atheist Children Get Presents Day/Weekend, everyone :P
Not much to talk about, so this entry'll be a bit short.
Got a 2-dvd set of Three Stooges episodes, which is awesome (except that only one ep has Curly in it and the others have Shemp). Also got the traditional stuffed animal representation of what each kid has acted like the last year: a brown bear beanie baby (yay alliteration) named Sherwood.
Also figured out where I get a bit of my "mad cooking skillz" from, or at least my OFMP moments (short for "Oh Fuck, My Pizza", those times when I remember I have a pizza in the microwave 40 minutes after I put it in). My mom put on some eggs to boil for cream chipped beef on toast before we went to Mass at 9, and never turned them off. She remembers this halfway through Mass, sending my dad home to fix it.
Apparently, when eggs are left to boil for too long, they go right past "hard-boiled" and straight to "explodey". My dad had to use a mop to get them off the ceiling XD
Anyway, since it's Christmas, here are my now-traditional alternative carols. Laters.
A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving
Oh the days go by so fast
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven
I wish you would
(Na na na, etc. yeah)
The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California
I think you should
(Na na na, etc. yeah)
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after 2 a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean
I guess I should
(Na na na, etc. yeah)
Light the candles,
and get me holly.
Start the fire,
and come sit next to me.
All I really need this Christmas,
is more time with you the only one I miss.
You're the one I miss (This Christmas)
You're the one I miss (This Christmas)
You're the one I miss (This Christmas)
Let's drink hot chocolate,
and eat some candy.
Let's open all our presents,
early.
All I really need this Christmas,
is more time with you the only one I miss.
You're the one I miss (This Christmas)
You're the one I miss (This Christmas)
You're the one I miss (This Christmas)
Well string up the lights,
and we'll decorate the tree.
But the best things at Christmas time,
are free.
You're the one I miss (This Christmas)
You're the one I miss (This Christmas)
You're the one I miss (This Christmas)
