This was done by an artist named Pogo from Australia: "Video for my track 'Upular', composed using chords, bass notes and vocal samples from the Disney Pixar film 'Up'. Enjoy!"

I love how this composition turned out and yes, now, I want to watch a Disney movie.
More of these songs are here.

Whoa. I cannot believe another Christmas is past. Amazing. The year flew by, didn't it? This has got to be the best holiday season since we moved to San Diego. First of all, my new Store Manager let us managers have our 2 days off per week! Usually we got only one. Of course we worked every weekend, but our days off we together when possible. So for the first 3 weeks I was off Monday and Tuesday! Soooo nice. It was like a weekend off. So for the entire month I didn't get that overwhelming exhaustion. Sure I got tired. I am tired. It is a crazy time! But I am not *exhausted*. There's a difference.

Christmas eve was a failure. We didn't really plan for ourselves and the house wasn't stocked, cleaned, or ready for us to have a "relaxing holiday". It was chaotic and annoying. All things that could go wrong did, right down to the cat knocking my dinner onto the floor. We did watch Julie & Julia though. And that was a good movie, so I guess that's the silver lining. Christmas itself was a total win. We slept in late, "irished up" our coffee, did some chores around the house, and then got dressed and headed out the door. Our neighbors happened to be outside about to ring our bell to drop off cookies!! Awesome having friendly-normal neighbors! After a brief chat we parted ways. We were off to C Level (my idea!) for a relaxing cocktail and amazing views. It was such a clear beautiful day, and the folks working there al!
l in festive moods. It was nice. After that we were off to Sheila's for a bacon feast! She had a turkey-ham thing, twice baked potatos (with bacon, bacon cream dip, bacon wrapped chick and dates, and more... Not to mention the amazing Dessert Table. After we all had eaten our fill the 8 of us there headed into the living room to play games. I am not sure what the first one was, but we also played Taboo. I love Taboo. It is always a laugh riot! We topped off the holiday with a trip out to the Gayborhood to meet up with some of our favorite local tweets on Twitter. So much fun! I even went to a bar named after a body part. Which was a big deal for me. It was a place that always made me say "ew". Well, now I've been, and I didn't die. It was a good time actually!

Anyhoo, that's my holday. Now time to get ready to go back to work. One more week of crazy to go!

I wish I had pictures. This was the Best Birthday on Record, sweetie!! Wow!!

So yeah, it all started with a $100 gift card from my mother. She srsly rawks. Srsly. THEN, my most amazing and much loved man surprised me! You see, I had twated at some point that I wanted one of two things for my birthday; a cabana booth at Urban Mo's with 15 people or nothing. Hahah! I was feeling bitchy and self important that day. Anyhoo. We worked all day Monday. I knew we were going to Mo's (I kinda got my way), and had my outfit all planned out. I stuck to it even tho my new fake leather jacket was calling me... All primped and ready for whatever we get to Mo's. And sit. We order appetizers, adult beverages, and read tweets and Brightkite and stuff. After a while Joelle and Mikey show up. We gab and enjoy the eats. Joelle and Richard talk about how we scored Premium Seating without having a larger party. I !
was like... okay. Then our San Diego family Sheila and her daughter show up! Yay! More booze and stuff happened. (the order of events after this point may differ from reality, thank you, vodka) Then Gooster and Gio pop up out of nowhere!! My cabana was getting full! OMG. It was awesome! also our server was our good friend Marisol! Other Mo's peeps were stopping by and giving well wished and stuff. Marisol had provided an inflatable monkey for every one to sign. Yay again! Captain, one of my good friends who actually has never, EVER attended my birthday's prior arrived. Food, fun, laughter!! Then I saw my BFF Marcus walking over! He had said he might not make it, so I wasn't expecting him. I was literally amazed at all these people to celebrate with me. I was. Then the super secret surprise guest, someone on Twitter I have been talking too lately who just seem!
s so amazing... tle="@Ub
erglitterati">@Uberglitterati!!

There was the traditional singing, candle blowing, an odd looking cupcake that I refused to eat, and shots to decline... I stayed hydrated and enjoyed many Cosmos! I tried to talk to everyone but it was overwhelming! So many people!! I have never had a birthday like that. Ever. I had no idea how to behave!! After a bit folks started leaving. I hugged my goodbyes. I so adore everyone that was there. Making an effort to go out on a Monday in December? I love you all soooo much. Nights like that really give you a picture of who in your life is important, even if you don't see each-other much. When it got down to just us gays we headed to Brass Rail for some twirling and stuff. Fun, fun, fun!

Oi. I wish I had pictures! I have the best man and best friends ever. Srsly. I could cry. You guys rock!!

Then today I found out Richard had invited the new neighbor friends too! I love him extra for that! He made a stellar effort this year... Kudos, you! *kiss*

RT@craig_crawford: Imagine how much weaker this health bill would be if GOPers had offered to deal. They gambled Dems couldn't pass...

If you find yourself getting about about healthcare, imagine a Congress controlled a group of Michele Bachman's or President Sarah Palin.
