Total Eclipse of the Heart

First, I have to post this video. There is a story behind it, and the short version is that when I was in school and had to stay up really late in the printmaking room, my friend and I would lip-synch to 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' and play air drums and air piano. It's funnier when you know the song, so I really hope you know the song...otherwise your opinion of me might lower a bit after you watch this video (try and make it to the 1:45 mark, that's my favorite part).

In other news, I'm watching 'Love Actually'. Right now it's at the beginning, the wedding part where a choir starts singing and someone from the the congregation snuck in a tuba and started to play along. If you haven't seen it..well...see it.

This weekend I'm going to make buckeyes! They're basically peanut butter balls dipped partially in chocolate. Oh man. They're amazing. After I make them I'll make sure to post the recipe.

For some reason I'm in a fairly large holiday mood. I kind of feel like dressing up as a christmas tree and an elf at the same time (when I was a baby, I looked like an elf, I don't think it's ever really gone away.....) and throwing tinsel at people while singing 'Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer'. Did you know that it's DONDOR, not Donnor for one of the Reindeers? Someone wrote to 'Dear Abby' to tell her that and hope she could spread the news. Because helping people to recognize that it's really Dondor, not Donnor, begins with a help column in a newspaper.
