Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Three verses, max, with very few exceptions. That is my rule..

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

At least being LDB'd means I'm now free to scan the 24/7 Christmas song channels in the hope of running across Elton John's "Step Into Christmas."

That was playing at one of the stores Dad and I went to!

I'm inordinately fond of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You," especially the version with Jimmy Fallon and the Roots.

pulls up the MCR cover version on the iPod. (Of course there's an MCR cover).

Oh JFC you guys. This new position that I'm going to be taken, which is still super top secret and not at all for public knowledge?

Someone just jumped on a call I was on, with my brand new team member who is still onboarding, and was all "and Brenda's got really big news too! I don't know how we'll manage when you move into your new role!"

Can you convince them you got the lead in the local Christmas pageant?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well, shit, brenda.

I'm hoping he's new enough that he didn't quite grasp what was going on. My other team members would have been all over me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Father Christmas" by Yes.

I think that's the Kinks? Either way, I like it.

Just heard Christmas Wrapping out in the store, it made me happy. Have not heard anything I don't like yet, which is nice.

There are a LOT of carols I only know from sheet music, so I like them buy the version is just, you know, in my head, so who knows if I really like them.

Fairytale of New York is, of course, a favorite Xmas song.

Oy, brenda.

I'm all behind. So: get well soon, Liese! Congratulations Brenda and Nanita on good job news! Sympathies to Maria on losing the bid, I remember what that's like.

Love me some Chrissy Hynde.

I have not yet been LDB'd, mostly because I'm avoiding stores. Got most of my shopping done last weekend at the Title 9 Warehouse sale, and on Amazon this week.

My brother could use some job-ma if there's any to spare. He's being drummed out of his company and it's all very high-powered and hush-hush and lawyered-up. Meanwhile he's interviewing for two jobs in the Bay Area, one of which would be awful and the other would be great. So it's nice to see him, but yikes. I'm so glad I'm not a high-powered executive.

And now it's off to Good Will and the climbing gym. Then a haircut, a vet visit, and helping Dad decorate his apartment for Christmas. Fun times!
