My sister played Ashokan Farewell at my mom's.
I want my friends to get drunk and sing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken."
I like that idea.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Nope. So far I've been too lazy to look at tumblr.
I just had a stranger basically tell me to watch my language regarding a comment on SOMEONE else's Facebook status update. WTF?
I love I'll Fly Away and Down by the River by Allison Krauss.
T-day plans finally set. Not going to St. Louis for our big family extravaganza. It's always really fun, but I'm busy enough and exhausted enough that I just wasn't feeling it. And that's before considering the 6 hour drive and having to get a hotel, because I'd have to take the dog with me.
In lieu of that, I've somehow agreed to go to T-day at my sister's boyfriend's parents' house. Hmm. Well, the food will be good, and there will be football. Hopefully won't be too awkward.
I'm a bit depressed about Thanksgiving this year. I can't travel (too pregnant) and so we're going to DH's aunt's house in Brooklyn. I thought my in-laws would be coming up too, but MiL has a work travel conflict (she has to be on a plane to Guatemala on Friday morning) and so they've decided to opt-out. So it will just be the three of us with DH's aunt and uncle.
Thanksgiving is normally my favorite holiday of the year - I tend to go overboard with cooking and the more people the better because that means I can make MOAR FOOD. There's a million reasons why small is better this year, but 5 people at a Thanksgiving table where I've had no input into the menu is making me pretty down about the whole thing.
I love the whole O Brother soundtrack. "I'll Fly Away" would be so lovely.
I also love June Carter Cash's version of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," which I have on the Deadwood soundtrack.
Our Thanksgivings are always so weird. DH's family spent it travelling in Florida when he was growing up so he was never really attached to a traditional Turkey Day meal like I was. His parents are coming up for the holiday but he doesn't like turkey and doesn't want to prepare one. It's been two years since we had a turkey and I'm going to put my foot down and demands a turkey and trimmings. And by demand, I mean I'll cook them.
