the faux bohemian
There’s an old joke: uh, two elderly women are at a Catskills mountain resort, and one of ‘em says, “Boy, the food at this place is really terrible.” The other one says, “Yeah, I know, and such small portions.”
I think I’m going to need to watch some Woody Allen this weekend.

Lumberjack Christmas/No One Can Save You From Christmasses Past
I haven’t been on Tumblr much recently, as a result of the unfortunately-not-so-unique combination of work, grad school, and hours upon hours of driving. I’ll be dealing with that same combination until around Christmas but rest assured that I’ll at least have a good soundtrack. I think this is my Christmas song of the year.
Lyrics:
One, two, three, four!
Oh no, the rugged sew
The great back yard, and the cold North Pole
I resent that Santa went and left us in the Alamo
Would you like to stay a while and dance with me?
(Would you like to stay a while and dance with me?)
Would you like to wrap the gifts and have a drink?
(Would you like to wrap the gifts and have a drink?)
The only one condition, I’ve got the premonition
That Christmas is a vision, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
If drinking makes it easy (so have one here)
The music’s kind of cheesy (and share our cheer)
The specials on the TV (the specials on the TV screen)
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
The dreams go, and stay below
Cattle call, and the old dark sew
I respect that Santa left, to save his kids from the winter cold
Would you like to stay a while and dance with me?
(Would you like to stay a while and dance with me?)
Mistletoe, and chestnuts roasting on the street
(Mistletoe and chestnuts roasting)
The only one condition, I’ve got the premonition
That Christmas is a vision, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
If drinking makes it easy (so have one here)
The music’s kind of cheesy (and share our cheer)
The specials on the TV (the specials on the TV screen)
No one save you from Christmases past
You’ll have to love him, or leave him at last
No one can save you from Christmases past
You’ll have to love him, or leave him at last
No one can save you from Christmases past
You’ll have to love him, or leave him at last
No one can save you from Christmases past
You’ll have to love him, or leave him at last
No one can save you from Christmases …
Santa Claus can save you. I love Santa Claus. He saved Christmas from the Martians. He gave them good gifts. Santa Claus saved us from the Martians. He gave them lots of kisses, and presents. I love Santa Claus. Fun things to eat. Hi. Candy canes, marshmallows, popcorn balls. I love you Santa Claus.
