Air + Loverboy = transition perfection.

NOTE:
I wrote this on Dec. 22, but am only now publishing it. So there.

Well, even though I'm at work, I consider the holidays officially begun! Last night T and I opened our gifts in celebration of the solstice and danced naked around the fir trees. Well, not really the last part but we did eat vegetable lasagna and watch Charlie Brown Christmas. The reindeer at the top of our winter tree was appeased by our seasoned joy or something to that effect.




Mmmm, presents.

Today, I shall mark time at my shortened work day by eating chocolate and thinking about how I should stop eating chocolate and then a train will whisk T and I away to my home town of Special K- Kitchener, Ontario. Home to: the second biggest Oktoberfest outside of Germany, a lot of deserted factories, a lot of crazy people, the inventor of and company for the dreaded Blackberry and a handful of womanizing quantum physicists. Oh yes indeed.

I am looking forward to it. Seeing my peeps(family) and peeping my props(not working). I am going to force T to watch Sound of Music with me. He thinks he can escape but he is mistaken! He will be singing yodlelay-hee-hoo before he knows it or can help it.

Can I please give myself a pat on the back for one of the best transitions on a mix cd ever? This will be a spoiler to my sister so Kris don't read this paragraph before christmas. So anyway, I start the cd of with some solid, vibrating energy goodness. Some homegrown stuff, this CD is mostly about Montreal and me so Arcade Fire, Malajube, Stars... Eventually I bring it down a bit for a few songs, the last of which is Run by Air and here is the great transition part: I wanted to do a quick mood change after the mellow out, bring things back to life after the beautiful, hypnotic Air some WHAMMY- Loverboy. Oh ya! Workin' for the Weekend. That's right and it is SOOOO sweet! Canada-love, 80's style. You don't believe me? I will send you the cd comp at your request and you will hear the perfectness of the transition yourself, and you will become a better person for it.

I hope you enjoy the hell out of the holidays and rock till your block has a hole in it's sock!

Merry holidays y'all.
