Happy Holidays, With Singing

Hi!

Ish and I arrived in Boston on Monday night after not TOO much airport drama. My downloaded tv shows worked very well to keep me totally distracted, except that I'm almost too ashamed to let you know what series I finally decided on.

Um. I agreed that "Lost" might not be so great, seeing as it's based on a plane crash. I likewise decided that getting into Gray's, what with the whole weird pregnancy plot points, also might not be such a good idea because I'm crazy and tend toward hypochondria.

Dexter seemed to win the most votes, but I think it's something Ish and I would like to watch together. Also, I'm a little concerned about watching something SO serious and violent even just in premise -- I want drama but not too much tension. I'm also waiting to watch The Wire for both of those reasons, too.

Oh, and bonus points to those of you who recommended Arrested Development. Ish and I own them, watch them regularly, I have probably seen every episode at least four times. I don't think any show on television has ever been funnier or more clever. (Cleverer?)

So yeah. Whatever. Gossip Girl.

Anyway, in case I don't get to posting much in the next few days (lots of wrapping and cooking and family-ing going on), I wanted to let you know that I contributed to Neil's Holiday Spectacular.

I actually re-wrote "Santa Baby" into a super cheesy, bloggy version. Then I sang it with a karaoke accompaniment. And THEN I futzed around with Garage Band and iMovie and made it into a video on YouTube. Except by the time it got compressed and re-compressed to actually SHOW on YouTube, all my hard work (seriously, HOURS) were for naught, because you can't see anything I did. It's all fuzzy and impossible.

But! You can see the whole amazing concert here (Sizzle rocks it), or watch the video embedded below. With my sincerest apologies.

  1. I just want to let you know I found your blog while researching at work and I can't get enough of it! You are hilarious and I look forward to continue to read it (but didn't want to be a total creepy lurk). Happy holidays!

  3. Dude, Gossip Girl rules. In a "I can't think right now and need to be entertained" kind of way. So I hope you enjoyed it.

  4. Full disclosure: I am not a cheesy Christmas music/karaoke/home-produced songs girl, like, whatsoever. I was not expecting much when I clicked play. BUT I LOVED IT. Any chance you could put it in MP3 format so I can put it on my iPod (yes, seriously)?

    Merry Christmas!

  5. I totally loved your video. The Fella and I were going on and on about how fantastic it was- the lyrics and the video are so funny! Plus, you're an awesome singer.

    Thanks for the shout out, lady! Happy holidays!

  6. What a lovely voice you have! Super double clever lyrics and I happen to think your high tech animations are very retro-cool. So there!

    Merry Christmas!

  10. Awl, that was worth unplugging my iPod for.

    And speaking of my iPod, I'm currently listening to Straight No Chaser's Christmas album. I remember you asking for holiday music suggestions and I know it's, like, kinda late for a suggestion for this year, but since I know you're into a cappella music, it might come in handy for next year.

  14. The first episode of Gossip Girl was repeated here a couple days ago. It's trashy (as the name promises), but I think I could argue it's more than just a guilty pleasure :)

  18. This was awesome! Your voice is amazing! At first I thought "wow she's brave for singing on the internet" but then after hearing it I realized if I could sing half so well AND come up with such creative lyrics I'd probably post it on the net also. So bravo!

    (clapping ensues)

  31. That. Is made out of awesome. You gotta a cute voice there, girl.. and mad lyric skillz too!

  32. So this is what I think about your blog...

    Holy crap! First, love the title and then...I loved the video. The reoccurring Santa/chimney shot was my fav.

    Coincidentally, I just found you through facebook so I guess that means Santa did pay you a visit.
