Post title - Who can tell me the original artist and the name of the song?
I haven't posted in about a month, unfortunately I've been quite busy. Another reason that I haven't posted is that nothing interesting or blogworthy has happened to me over the last few weeks.
So anyway........ let's talk about something.
A few weeks ago I realised that Christmas was coming, that's right - Starbucks changed all the menus to include all the christmas specials (and sneakily raised a few prices of the regular drinks), the takeaway paper cups are now the red christmassy ones and the music being played in the background is now a really, really annoying mix of christmas tunes - Therefore it must be christmas soon.
To strengthen my assertion that christmas will be among us soon, all the supermarkets are now selling those useless giftsets that are only ever bought because people lack the creativity to buy a real present for someone - and wrapping paper, every store has metres and metres of wrapping paper for sale.
I'm fairly indifferent to the whole christmas thing, when it was just a 12 day binge and pigout called yuletide I positively approved - but then the religions came, stole it and turned it into some shitty ceremony celebrating the alleged birth of some glorified cult leader who may or may not have even existed, at that point I lost interest.
I think we do have to be grateful to the many national and multinational companies that are really working hard to commercialise the whole holiday season, removing any (and hopefully all) religious connatations and making it all about plastic green trees, cheap fairy lights and doing all your shopping in the space of 10 minutes on amazon.co.uk.
But anyway, christmas comes and christmas goes - It's just enough day to me really, though getting presents makes it slightly better.
Ok, nothing more to say.

Well aren't you Mr. Sassy britches? Enjoyable as always.
It's coffee season for me. I love the holiday coffees at starbucks. Gingerbread latte, and pumpkin spice are my favorite.
mmmm if I wasn't nauseous or suffering from hangover right now that would sound delicious.
Well aren't you Mr. Sassy britches?
Ha - I certainly am a lot of things. :)
The gingerbread latte is also my favourite of the christmas drinks - the toffee nut latte is disgusting (IMO of course), special credit goes to the new drink, the 'Dark Cherry Mocha'.
Hee hee, yeah I read your blog....just put some sugar into a mug and add boiling water - then slowly sip it. Your head ache won't go away, but as you are drinking it slowly, you can generally keep it down. Recover soon. :)
David Bowie, Rock and Roll Suicide. Easy, Ap.
Nice to see you blogging again - I have missed our terrific little sessions when the crew gets on and completely roots someone else's thread! (Remember the television producers?) :)
Correct Laurie :).
Haha - Yeah , I remember that - I think we offered you the positions of chief scriptwriter and executive producer.
Ah, those glorious summer days that seem so long ago now. Hopefully I'll get a bit more time soon to recreate some of the magic and participate in multiple blog hi-jacks.
Liked this one, AP. I know it's way late, but I thought I'd comment anyway. And now I have a wicked craving for Starbucks, in London. :P
Cheers,
Sharon
Hi Sharon,
Thanks for the comment - you aren't late, just really early for next christmas :). (I'm likely to blog about the same thing)
Ha - A London Starbucks is only an 8 hour flight away :P.
But why have a Starbucks, when you can have a Tim Hortons?
