Itty bitty GD and holiday chatter
Blender.com has a feature on The 28 Most Recognizable Guitars. Yes, Blue is on the list. Hee.

"Two-time GRAMMY® Award winner Melissa Etheridge, five-time GRAMMY Award winner Faith Hill and nine-time GRAMMY Award winner Alicia Keys will host "My Night At The GRAMMYs," a new entertainment special celebrating the upcoming 50th GRAMMY Awards with the Top 25 favorite GRAMMY moments, as voted on by viewers. The two-hour special also will feature the stories behind the moments as told by the artists themselves, and will be broadcast Friday, Nov. 30, 8-10 p.m. ET/PT, on the CBS Television Network.
Christina Aguilera, Billie Joe Armstrong, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Bono, Elvis Costello, Celine Dion, Alan Jackson, Elton John, Ricky Martin and Usher will join hosts Etheridge, Hill and Keys in remembering their own remarkable moments as performers and winners on past GRAMMY telecasts."
That's an interesting collection of people. It's unfortunately *missing* two of my favourite interesting people (aka the rest of the damn band) but still. TV appearance in two days w00t.
I am so tired today. Up early again, and again tomorrow. I won't manage wakefulness much longer, if that's what you could call my vacant staring right now, lol. Hot chocolate and bed, yisyis. It was very slow at work so I got a good chunk of decorating time and things are taking shape. Our 'theme' is the Ice Queen's Palace from Narnia, which was my idea and I'm nominally in charge. I've been making the deliberate effort to relax and have fun with it, and let other people have fun with it, instead of allowing my natural inclination to prevail, which would be to corral everybody into doing things EXACTLY LIKE I SAY TO OR IT'S NOT RIGHT, DAMMIT. *laughs* Oh my God I can get so anal and bossy when running something like this. Being able to let go of that mostly is one of the major signs that indeed, I have matured somewhat since I was a teenager!
It'll actually look better in the end than if it were done according to only my plan, anyway; J has an artistic bent and he's had some stellar ideas. I, on the other hand, am quite crafty but when it comes to real art I am a total loss. Art and gym were the only two classes I was exempted from the straight-A requirement for, because I am not athletic (love to dance though I do!) and I cannot draw. I always got an A for effort but was never able to achieve more than a plain B in an art class. I've often thought that some of my drive and talent in writing comes from being a frustrated artist. Incapable of painting with acrylics, I use the one tool I can wield well: words. All the images in my head have to come out in language if they're to attain any measure of external comprehension or beauty.
