The Bruce fam has decided to do a white elephant Xmas this year, and Chef and I have been wandering around the house trying to decide what to wrap up as our presents. Tonight Chef had a brilliant idea, “I know! Your degree!”
It will do as much for them as it has for me. Fa la la la la! Ha!

Posted with apologies to my mother.
I haven’t done one of these in forever, but my mom gave me a REAL LIVE iPod while on drugs post-surgery last month, so I suppose it’s time.
Don’t think I took advantage of her or anything. She has an iPhone in addition to her iPod, and who needs both, really?
1) Swell Maps — Adventuring Into Basketry
2) Murder By Death — Theme (for Elmo Morricone)
3) The Kickdrums — Walking Dream
4) Jens Lekman — Bringing on the Sweet Nectar
5) The Fall — God-Box
6) Heartless Bastards — Had To Go
7) The Besnard Lakes — Cedric’s War
8) Junior Boys — When No One Cares
9) Golden Animals — My Friend Bill
10) Those Poor Bastards — You Belong To Me
Those Poor Bastards are like what would have happened if Nick Cave and Johnny Cash had a goth baby.
And Murder By Death are bringing this Gothic Americana thing home via Bloomington, Indiana. Woot.
While getting ready to go to yet another holiday party, I’ve realized that although I start with every intention of getting really, really dressed up, I almost always end up dressing down. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
I’m totally excited about this party though. Chef has spent the last two weeks planning, and the last three days executing what should be a fancy little wine and amuse-bouche soirée. My mom is my date.
The cats bargain and fight for prime napping real estate under the Xmas tree. The spot also appears to be a great place to stalk and surprise other cats, which is why it is valued with such esteem.
