Christmas Bells are Ringing...
I have one complaint about Tori Amos. That is, that she's releasing a boxed set of live recordings and a DVD collection of her videos (1991-2005) NOW! WTF! I've already given my Dad and Brett my Christmas list, and I'm pretty sure they're finished shopping for me. How upsetting. I know I sound like one of "those" people, but I've been waiting for Tori's video collection to be released on DVD FOREVER... I had the old video collection on tape from when she was still with Atlantic records, and once she split with them there was some weird legal thing about her having the right to release a DVD of her OWN videos with Epic (whom she is now signed with). AND SHE WAITS UNTIL THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS. I'm sorry Tori. I shouldn't doubt you. I know it's those silly record company goons who decide the release date. Forgive me for ever doubting you. But still..... UGH
Ok, that's the end of my whining for today. No, I lied. I have an 8:30 final today. ::whine:: Ok, I'm done. Seriously. It's my last final and by 10:30 this morning I will be completely finished (that is until January 17th... but let's not think of the future. It's Christmastime and come next Wednesday, I should actually have some money to finish my shopping with. WHOO HOO. I'm a big fan of giving gifts. But I always have so many options for my sisters that I worry that I won't get them the one thing they really want. It's easy with Brett, because he's super specific, and i usually just get him every item he asks for (or whatever my parents didn't buy him yet). My Dad wants the same thing every year (cigars, pipe tobacco, and sweaters... blah), and this year I found him this gorgeous gold-leaf print of a map of Middle Earth (as in "The Lord of the Rings") which was drawn by Tolkien.... so I think that will be a nice surprise and I hope he puts it up in his office. My mom is a little enigmatic about her requests. This year she wrote me saying "I like stuff from Sephora and by Philosophy... maybe a purse, Cds, whatever... I always like what you get me" WTF?! But I think I know what I'll get. I already scouted out a perfume called "Falling in Love" by Philosophy at Sephora in the KoP Mall which smells lovely... I think I'll buy her a cute little trendy purse and hmmm.... well, ok, I don't know what else, but it will hit me when I see it. Oh, I also saw this other thing for my sister.... but they read this, so I can't go into depth... hehehe (got excited for a minute there, didn't ya?). I'm excited.... And I want to see "Memoirs of a Geisha".... just heard the commercial... hehe
I also want to see "The Family Stone". Because it looks good.... Ok ok, I lied. Because Sarah Jessica Parker is in it. But seriously, it does look cute. SJP was on Ellen yesterday, and I tuned in JUST as she was coming out. It was fate. I felt as if I'd died and gone to heaven. Ellen AND SJP in one place. Together. Laughing and being adorable and reminding me why I'm obsessed with them and stalk them sometimes. If I can't have them, no one can!!! Hehehe.... oops, you've just been given a glimpse into my psychotic mind. But seriously, I am a bit obsessed. But I just want to meet her and have lunch and chat. maybe shop a bit... (what would I wear if I were meeting Sarah Jessica Parker? I may have to max out a credit card on one outfit... maybe even one pair of shoes), and give her a hug and be best friends. Is that so much to ask?
Just when I'd convinced myself I was not unhealthily obsessed with her or Sex and the City, I woke up last night from a strange dream in which I, and Sarah Jessica were both guests on the Ellen show, and we were singing some grandiose Broadway medley with a full orchestra and gospel choir. The medley included hits from the Sound of Music, Once Upon a Mattress (which SJP starred in in the mid 90s), and oddly enough, RENT. The medley somehow modulated to a farmiliar key and ended with a touching chorus (belted broadway style, of course) of Silent Night, during which the studio dimmed the lights and the audience lit candles. It was beautiful, and I swear SJP had a tear in her eye. Yes, I really dreamt that. All of it. I need help.
OK, well, I really do need to get ready to get to school. Hope I haven't lost any friends or further alienated myself due to the disturbing content of this post. I'm going on lots of caffeine right now. I'll be myself when it wears off....
