I woke up this morning at 6 am on the dot.  My eyes just popped open and my brain started rushing to and fro.   I hadn’t planned on getting up until 7, so I wasn’t too happy about this situation.   Especially since my throat hurt like the dickens.   Blah.  My throat hurt and my ears had that we’re-next-to-the-throat-so-we-kind-of-hurt-too feeling.   I hate that feeling.   They don’t really hurt, but it’s as if they’re trying to sympathize with my throat or something.

I got up, drank three glasses of water, wrote some emails, and tried to convince my brain to go back to sleep.

I’ve felt kind of blah ever since.   To make matters worse, I was subjected to THREE phone interviews today.  Ugh!  Stress.

Luckily, the Mr T Experience is around to pull me out of my funk.  Dr. Frank can’t cure my impending cold, but his songs can at least make me smile in spite of it.

#7.  ”Merry Christmas Emily” by Cracker.

It uses the “F” word… so perhaps a little NSFW:

#6.  ”Close Your Mouth (It’s Christmas)” by the Free Design ….. with a name like that, you just know it’s gotta be good.

#5.  ”Don’t Shoot Me Santa” by The Killers.

A way better deterrent than coal…

#4.   To continue in the vein of summery Christmas songs: “A Surfer’s Christmas List.”

#3 on the Christmas playlist is “Super Sunny Christmas” by Redd Kross… probably one of the best summer/beach/bubblegum Christmas songs out there.

Song #2!

“I Know What You Want For Christmas” by Kay Martin & Her Body Guards.

Kay Martin was the queen of double entendre.  Isn’t she great?

I am going to post at least one song every day until Christmas, which will result in an awesome awesome Christmas playlist.  Are you ready?   I give you #1:

“Bring Me An Alien for Christmas” by Fountains of Wayne

I love potatoes so much.  I love baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potato pie, french fries, sweet potato french fries, roasted potatoes, potato bread, potato donuts, gnocchi, samosas, sweet potato casserole… but I think that when it comes to potatoes, I might love this song and music video most of all.

I am an American Potato!

I’ve been on a cupcake kick lately.   In fact, I’m currently working on some basketball ones for the Duke-Carolina game tonight.  

So in the honor of cupcakes, I give you Terri “Cup Cake” O’Mason… and I’ll let her sing the praises of the little cakes.  As you can see, the album is marked, “Songs for Adults Only.”   

Man this guy is always eating.
