…When I’m back in 15 minutes, I wont forget you are.

Okay, so I just realised that I haven’t posted for near on two months. I am so bad. I blame it on the fact that I so very rarely get to use my actual computer/laptop. As my main computer is now my insanely awesome Boxee/XBMC setup and my laptop is primarially used for Rebecca to play Cafeville or any of the other bazillion Zynga games.

Anyways, it’s that time of year. Christmas! I’ll admit, having a little kiddie does make it slightly more exciting and my 17 hour trip to Toys Я Us the other week sure brought back some memories of when I remembered walking round looking at all the new LEGO toys and wondering what I could build with my bricks! I also remember looking round all the bikes and cars and imagining driving around the backyard playing in a police car. Ahhh, t’was fun. Oddly TRU doesn’t seem to have changed at all in the time since I was used to go there as a kid and what I see now with my retail hat on was a store with awful fixtures and staff that were more interested in checking out the young mums, or in one case their own colleagues than providing any resemblance service. Anywhos!

This Christmas I’ll be doing the following:

Wednesday 23rd. Sam is coming to pick us up from Manchester to take us to Leicester where we’ll be spending Christmas Eve and Day with my family. Then Boxing Day morning we’ll be getting the coach down to London and spending the next few days with Bex’s family. The worst bit is the coach ride back for me will be over night and I’ll be going straight into work the following morning at silly o clock! Oh well, the things we do for love!

Seen as I haven’t posted for a while here are five four songs I’ve been addicted to lately…

The Yeah You’s – 15 Minutes
Hold on, it may be a rocky ride
Oh, I hope I’ll be satisfied
But I will try, give me 15

The new ‘Feeling’? Some cheerful music anywho. And somehow related to Crishna’s work or something. I can’t remember what it was, but glad that she introduced me to them. This was their first single but the other stuff is good. Although I have to wonder why there is so much bra showing in Getting Up With You! Is it me or is the talk show host in this video someone from TV?

Absent Elk – Poker Face (Cover)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

An awesome cover of Lady Gaga’s annoyingly infectious song. Although this version is the one I play the most and it’s also got a SNAKE and a LIZARD that Amelia loves! They also do an awesome cover of Ace of Base’s All The She Wants.

College Humor – If I Were A Bro
But you’re just a bro
So you don’t understand
Why when you take a shower
You only get a job from a hand

Hilarious parody of Beyonce’s song by the awesome College Humor. Doesn’t hurt that Sarah Schneider is awesome!

Howie Day – Don’t Dream It’s Over (Cover)
Now I’m walking again to the beat of a drum
And I’m counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

I have a weird thing for Howie Day, I know I should hate him but I quite like his songs. Here he’s covering everyone’s favourite song by the awesome Crowded House.

Right, now I’m off to swimming! Yay!

the way you right and left it
