nerd alert on high & npr rocks the holidays

Cera will be here on Monday and I AM SO EXCITED! All I want for Christmas is to see Cera! Only FIVE days to go!!!

And please know that I have another post coming up later today. Lottie Sue saw Santa Claus the other day and it wasn't pretty....

I'm pasting a passage from an email MaryAnn (Megan's mom if you are unaware) sent. But first let me tell that in person MaryAnn is one cool lady. But if you look at her Netflix queue she is the biggest NERD.

See what she's watching now? She does this for her own enjoyment, I would watch this if it was school or something. I've made fun of her before, but if you ask me she's asking for it watching stuff like this.

Here's a portion of her email:

"I have been watching "The First Churchills", based on Sir Winston Churchill's history of his ancestor, the 1st Duke of Marborough (see attached photo and link). This was based in the 18th century, and male fashion tended toward poodle-style curls in long wigs past the shoulders, bows featured on clothing, tights, high heels, etc. The King carried a little dog around with him all the time. This was filmed in 1969, and I read in Wikipedia it was a BBC production done on low budget".

See? Nerd.

NPR Music asked 10 stations to send them 10 of their favorite holiday songs, they then mixed them up and created a festive stream of songs by everyone from Bach to the Ramones to Louis Armstrong. Take a listen HERE. If you need some comfort viewing this afternoon, I recommend betamaxmas.com. They compiled a bunch of retro holiday TV clips from YouTube onto a retro television screen. Ah, it really takes me back. I've had it on this afternoon and it's making me feel old. But in a good way.

The network blood in me is making me post this mid-season network grid. You can watch a holiday show every day!

Miss Piggy (LOVE HER) is on the Today Show right now and Lottie Sue is giggling and saying HI HI HI HI HI over and over to her. She is enthralled. OK, more photos coming at you later. Stay tuned...
