Holiday Music = Perry Como

So it snowed yesterday... HOORAY!!! I like snow, especially this time of year. I'm a big fan of the holiday season. So yesterday in Chicago, when it was cold and snowy, I was happy. And I had to go home, bake cookies, and break out the Holiday music. And not some new CD of something. Oh, no... I'm talking the old RCA tape I stole from my parents that was probably made when they still had 8-tracks. Perry Como is doing his thing, and it's wonderful. However... I CAN'T FIND THE TAPE!!! I was very sad last night. I found the other tape that went along with the first, but it's not nearly as good. I'm afraid that this tape was never even recorded on CD, and I'm afraid I will never find another copy. Oh Perry Como, where are you...

Which, if you'd like to know... he lived in a small town in Pennsylvania, and in that small town (in front of the City Hall/Library/Police Station Building...yes, all in one) they have a bronze statue of him. It plays music. It's like Perry Como is still there, singing all year long (and 24 hours on Christmas). ...Ah, Meredith, the things I learned from you. And speaking of music, I'd like a copy of the "Save the People, Kill the Animals" song. But I digress.

I wish I had a statue of Perry Como in my house so I could listen to him when I bake my holiday cookies.


Well, maybe not the statue. That might just get creepy. I'm not sure how the City Hall Workers/Librarians/Police handle it.

I need you to...

So apparently there is a game you can play with Google. If you type in “[your name here] need”, and search, you will come up with all kinds of things! Make sure you put quotes around it.

Well, here’s what I need, in Google’s opinion. Note: some sites gave me more than one suggestion. How nice of them.

I need a shave.
Well, this is partially true. I’m letting the hair on my legs grow so I can get them waxed. So they’re close on this one.

(This website was actually rather interesting... someone named "Bubbles the Artist" is selling drawings for a couple hundred dollars each. This one was of an obese woman who was sad about how her dress fit, but no one cared because her legs were hairy. I'm not sure what to think of Bubbles. However, I have a feeling I'm going to find out she's some famous artist I haven't heard of, because she has many pictures of famous people holding her art. This is also the one site I came up with when I clicked on the "I'm feeling lucky" button.)

I to be exposed for everything evil I have done, and I need to be brought to my knees.
I’m sure everything I have done in this lifetime has not been all peaches and cream, but is this really necessary?

I need to trust Angel.
Apparently, I am on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I need a priest; I need to be hooked up; I need to leave everyone alone; I need to grow up; I need to know why demons are taking over.
Wow. That’s a lot. I say it depends on the priest. I have a “hook-up”, thank you. I’m sure I can be meddling at times, and could stand to leave others alone sometimes. I am trying to grow up… I have a job, at least! I don’t know about the demons, though… unless we’re talking about the demons of global warming or evil politicians, then we can talk…

I need to talk about the colour of the paint. I need one more victory. I need to meet the mayor of Israeli Arab town Umm al-Fahm.
Let me tell you, the wall color at work is seriously complicating our plans of getting our logo put on the same wall. I could use some life-victories, but I’m hoping I have more than one left. And although I am pretty good with my geography, I have no idea where Umm al-Fahm is. And I use British English.

I Need A Hand... more correctly, I need a tooth... a few teeth.
I’m not sure what happened to me. I should stop getting into fist fights.

I need to know where I am in my struggle and in my relationship with God. ... I need to hear about my victories over temptation and about my sexual ...
Hmmm…and about my sexual … what? And who said temptation is to be fought over?

I Need to be added to default find-in-files list.
I suppose I am a computer file. No worries, the company I work for deals with IT security.

Hans has disappeared, and I need to find him in order to do the deal.
Are we talking poker or drugs? I’m not sure I want Hans to reappear.


I need to get outta here. Diehard zealots abound.
This is true. They do abound. Watch out for those zealots, no matter what they’re zealotting.



All in all, a good exercise in curing boredom. I highly recommend it.
