I wasn't even playing your little drummer song game, but I realized I lost it just now as I got on this plane, because it was playing.
I lost on Saturday. I forgot it was on the Charlie Brown Christmas CD. (I will say that's the only version of that song I can tolerate, so if I had to lose, I'm glad it was to that version.)
Oh, man, this t-shirt is SO relevant to my interests. [link] Severely tempted to buy, but do not have the money. Will have to hope it gets reprinted elsewhere.
I don't hate the Tori Amos version. I think the only way to win is to stay away from any sort of retail establishment (or always wear headphones).
They put up the Christmas tree in our department last week. I'm finding it surprisingly cheerful. Bright blinky lights do that for me. I like bling.
My landlords put up garlands around the front of the house. (Is that what they're called? The sort of ropes of pine stuff, with big red bows where they're attached to the porch railing.) It makes me kind of vaguely uncomfortable, but I understand that there's no right to be free from being vaguely uncomfortable. I'll be glad when it's down, though.
Pack out has started. My life is being wrapped in white paper and taped into cardboard boxes.

That's by my friend Karen Hallion!
That shirt is adorable, smonster.
I'm beyond exhausted, but I went out with friends today and also finally have my nasal spray. I also have a prescription for vitamin D because apparently my over the counter supplement is not doing the trick.

Use ALL of the white paper. I didn't lose a single item which made me feel like my overbuying of white paper was completely the right call to make.

That part of Christmas is more Norse than Christian, if it makes you feel any better. Just furrow your brow at your landlords, and call them pagans. See if they bite. Add to it, some of our days of the week seem to be attributed to Nordic Gods (Thursday = Thor's Day, Friday = Freyja's Day, and of course the sun and moon days, but that's hardly just Norse).
ION - for the thrid time, the Deans office has sent out the staff holiday party flyer. For the third time, it is a black background, with black type. The only way it's readible in the least, is due to ugly font choice with lots of outline highlights. You would think, a school of the arts would have a better graphics department in the deans office. Sadly, no. And these are the same people who make our programs and ads. They are equally ugly. Ugg. So disappointing.
