Srsly, Pandora, would you stop conspiring to kill me today? WTF. It's just been one sad and/or meaningful song after the other. Letters to Elise... Wish You Were Here... Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime.... I'm actually not in a sad mood, but jeez.

It's like that old Richard Jeni routine about the radio playing nothing but love songs after your break-up... 186 hours of Love Songs! Nothing but slit-your-wrist LOVE SONGS!

I might as well just put on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and break out the Kleenex. :P

It's almost too late for these, but I'm posting them anyway.

( It's the most wonderful time of the year... )

I've also been doing 12 Days of Musical Christmas on my tumblr. Posting one song a day until Christmas. So follow me on tumblr and as you go through my posts, listen to some festive music. (http://kimberlynicole.tumblr.com/)

Last night: spinach, mushrooms and pine nuts sauteed with fresh garlic in olive oil, over rice rotini. Mmmm.

Tonight: First spinach salad, with gorgonzola and dried cranberries, and cranberry-walnut-gorgonzola dressing from Trader joes. Then mushrooms, red bell pepper and red onion sauteed with fresh garlic in olive oil, then cooked in Hunt's canned marinara, over rice rotini. I threw in some rosemary, thyme and basil from my spice rack I have (they're ancient, I mean they're probably as old as my kid, seriously, and I really need to buy new spices, but they still tasted good) as well as enough black pepper to give it a little bit of a kick.

I'm poor, and I had mushrooms and spinach that needed eating up. It's the same crap I always make, but boy is it good, and my kid's happy. I love the way sauteed red pepper and tomato sauce taste together. Yum!

So I'm checking the flight status for a friend I'm picking up from the airport...

Flight is Currently En Route
Delayed 107 minutes

Dude, seriously, that's longer than the *flight itself* - just a short hop from LA to Phoenix which takes less than an hour. I mean, that kind of flight runs every hour on the hour. WTF. And this after a 16 hour flight from Austrailia to LA. Poor passionandsoul :(

It's so awesome to have a brother in the know (he always gets the concert listings early as part of his job at the New Times).

Muse 4/9/10 at US Airways, $45

Jonathan Coulton w/ Paul And Storm 2/18/10 6:30 PM at Martini Ranch, $20

I'm over the moon about both of these concerts. And reasonably priced, too!

OMG Muse!!! AAAhhhh! They are going to be SO amazing live. And I've wanted to see Jonathan Coulton again since we saw him in May of 08, he was really good live, and Paul & Storm are hilarious!

OMG YAY! *kermit flail*

Also, thank you, Anonymous, for the snowflake cookie. ;)

The Secrets of the Sparkle

A hilarious recap of the Twilight books from an (ex?) Mormon, outlining some of the barely-veiled LDS dogma in the books.

Bill just showed these to me, and I laughed so hard I was crying and coughing. If you look on the related videos there are several more. I could only watch about 3 of them before I had to stop because I was laughing too hard. But then I have a weird sense of humor, and a lack of sleep.

NSFW for dirty language and stuff.





KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
