Christmas Songs

Last year I told everyone that I loved a few Christmas songs. Now, this year, I've been listening to Christmas songs on the radio at work while I score records. Some of these songs are SO FUCKING annoying. Here are the worst (in my opinion):

5: All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth by Spike Jones and His City Slickers.
ONLY because the guy singing that song sounds like the perverted old man from Family Guy, pretty much exactly. And that guy scares me.

4: Last Christmas by Wham.
It sounds nothing like a Christmas song should sound like. At least to me. Blah.

3: Little St. Nick by the Beach Boys.
I know there are some people out there who swear by the Beach Boys, but I really don't get into the whole falsetto singing thing. I hate the Bee Gee's as well. Plus this song sounds exactly like all of their other songs.

2: A Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney.
This entire song rubs me the wrong way, from the weird synthesizer-sounding beginning, to the refrain inexplicably repeated way too many times. I would say this is the worst Christmas song ever but....

1: Christmas Shoes takes the cake.
I actually don't even know who sings this. I didn't bother to look because ever time it's on I just tune it out. I don't mind songs about God or whatever, especially around Christmas, but this one is just too over the top.

My favorite Christmas songs are of course, Dominic the Donkey and Snoopy vs the Baron BUT I do have some favorite classics, because I'm sure not everyone has heard the others:

5: Bells Will Be Ringing (especially by Bon Jovi)
4: Baby Its Cold Outside
3: Carol of the Bells
2: The Nutcracker Suite
1: O Holy Night

Have a happy holiday everyone!

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February ...

Silence is Golden

So I can talk. Maybe not as eloquently as I type, but I have no trouble striking up conversations with people. However, talking is not the same as expressing emotions through words, which I have a very hard time doing. I feel like it's very hard for me to say how I feel to people, for fear of getting put down, and sometimes, for fear of hurting others' feelings. Now when Andrew and I were in the process of our horrendously emotional breakup, I was crying a lot, but not saying much at all. So Andrew was confused and tried to get me to emote by constantly asking me how I was feeling, which wasn't helping the matter at all. Well Andrew has just broken up with the girl he went out with after me (BEFORE I started dating Mike, I may add). She's very hurt and keeps wondering what things she could have done to change how he felt and why he didn't tell her much of a reason why he didn't want to be with her. This makes me feel guilty for never telling Andrew anyth...

Hmm I see a trend with who in Hollywood I am attracted to: (besides Hugh Jackman, who is just, in general, the perfect man) Colin Farrell James Spader Sean Penn Olivier Martinez Michael Madsen Russell Crowe The Rock Edward Norton Justin Theroux In case you can't guess....they've all played some real badasses and/or are badasses in real life. I guess I'm just one of those people...you know, the girls who go for the bad guy. Not all the time, but I've noticed I am dramatically more attracted to someone in a movie when they become "bad". Say for instance....Sam Rockwell in Charlie's Angels (I know, bad film, whatever, but it's the perfect example) I could care less about him until the scene where he starts dancing and smoking a cigarette......so hot. Maybe I'm like the people in Crash.....maybe I just get off on violence. I don't think so though, I think I just like the power in people. Power is hot. So is a disregard for the ...
