All I Want For Christmas Is Words, Goats And A Chicken
I’ll be honest here. The last little while, I’ve been having a hell of a time with the part of my brain that comes up with thoughts and words and then turns them into blog posts. I don’t exactly know why and I doubt I ever will, but it’s happening and it’s frustrating. Perhaps the …

Dirty Deeds Done With…Trees?
Music used in this mashup: Brenda Lee – Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree AC/DC – Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap As if you need me to say anything else.
Zombie Claus
Here we are, a week into December, and somehow I’m not totally sick of Christmas music yet. Usually the world has that taken care of by Halloween, but I suppose being laid low for a decent bit of November by all the crud going around and a Covid shot might have its advantages after all. …

Wonderful Deep Space Nine
This one’s for Carin and my other Star Trek loving friends. Me? I have no idea who anyone is here, but I enjoyed it all the same. In the grand tradition of Star Trek captains singing holiday standards, for your consideration: “Wonderful Deep Space Nine” sung by Captain Sisko, Major Kira, Constable Odo, Lieutenant Commander …
Christmas Music And Grammar. Two Of Everyone’s Favourite Things, Together AT Last
I’ll confess. Until I listened to this, I had given exactly no seconds of thought to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’s proper comma placement. In fact I’ve seen it written so many times without one that I wasn’t even sure one was necessary. But I also see a lot of “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen”, …

I Got Home for Christmas
I made it home for Christmas and made it back here! I even made it back here on the day I was supposed to! Phew! This Christmas, that was no small feat. I headed out to my brother’s place on Christmas Morning, not sure if Uber was going to ding me with a surge price. …
