Day 24
It’s the night before Christmas! You wait all year for one day, you put up decorations which take three days to find and then two more to fix up, its craziness isn’t it?
To All, A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
Christmas Eve
Day 23
Q: Why does Santa wear red underwear?
A: He’s a man – did all the laundry in one load!
My Wishlist
I know for a fact I’ll only be unwrapping one or two of the following on Christmas Day.
Smythson 2010 Diary with stiletto motif on the bottom right corner. It’s the perfect girly diary, but it cost a crazy amount of money for a diary. I’m one of those people who won’t buy an academic diary because its relatively more expensive than a normal Collins one.
Chanel Accessories
A beautiful bag from the cruise collection. I would have picked white, but I’d never be able to keep the damn thing clean especially on my commutes 
And as I need a pair of gloves preferably some which will last more than a couple of weeks- I also want the Chanel leather gloves. The price tag of both doesn’t even bear thinking about, so I’m not going to ruin my dream by looking at my bank account.
A Sony Vaio P series or W series
The P series is the smallest netbook on the market and imo, the most expensive and gorgeous one. It’s almost like a phone but without the phone function and as the image on the Sony page suggests, you can put it in you pocket, but it will stick out. Anyway, its gorgeous in red.
The W series is the cute little netbook that I want and realistically is in my price range. I think its cute, and it’s a VAIO without paying £500 for it.
This year I fell in love with the men on the Vampire Diaries TV show, so its only logical that I should want to read the books. Yes, its a bit below my reading ability but I checked out The Story of Tracy Beaker the other week at the library and I spent the last couple of days reading Bridget Jones’ Diary 1 and 2, so TVD books are not that low on my intelligence.
As it is tradition in our house, we have to unwrap comedy books on Christmas Day. So, I want This Mitchell and Webb Book. I love that Mitchell and Webb Look and I loved That Mitchell and Webb Sound, so its only natural that I get the book from the duo who make me laugh more than anyone else.
I want….Lots of DVD boxsets too please
Scrubs – all of ‘em because I have a funny feeling season 9 isn’t going to be enough to tide me over the loss.
CSI:NY – The complete season 5.
Damages – 1 and 2 so I can get ready for 3
(I’ve already asked for this, so…here’s the thing that realistically I am getting this Christmas)
The First and Second seasons of The Big Bang Theory. Okay, technically I can watch the season for free on demand but I’d rather have the DVD.
Back to the unrealistic we go…
Oh please, one day I will unwrap these and they will be fabulous.
So, until I think of anything else, this is the stuff I want. Besides the box set, I asked for the VAIO netbook in white but I don’t think I’m getting it (maybe…oh who knows, maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised) and I know I’ll get one box set. The Damages one.
(Disclaimer: I would have made it into a whole ‘What I want for Christmas is Chris Pine/Christian Bale/Bradley James/Jake Gyllenhaal/Daniel Craig/Robert Downey Jr/Sam Worthington/Ian Somerhalder/Paul Wesley/Ed Westwick/loads of rugby players etc etc etc’ sort of thing, but I thought I owe it to be true as I can possibly be about my Christmas wish list. As if I’m going to find any of the aforementioned under the tree…okay…so…I just realised, I will in a way. Chris Pine because I asked for the Star Trek DVD.)
Day 17
On the brighter side, only an hour of class tomorrow and then my 4 week vacation can start! Of course I’m only going to have 1 week to myself and the other three will be spent revising.
Today’s side splitting joke is Arsene Wenger comes from the lovely people at Mars again.
Q: How do snowmen get around?
A: They ride on an icicle!
Geddit? Once you do, you won’t be able to stop laughing…
RATM for Christmas #1
Oh yeah? Bloody go and do one all of you.
Over 3/4s of a million people have joined a Facebook group campaigning against the winner of the X Factor getting the traditional Christmas #1. To join this group, you promise that you’ll buy three copies of Rage Against the Machine’s ‘Killing in the Name of’ to hamper ickle Joe McFlurryElderry’s chance at Christmas #1, an achievement only one XF winner hasn’t achieved and he goes by the name Brookstein, you don’t know him anymore there’s just an empty space, and he nicked the crown from G4. But I digress, hampering someone’s chance at achieving a dream is plain stupid, especially as this campaign is aimed at Simon Cowell, rather than the winner himself.
More to the point, 61% of 10,000,000 votes on Sunday meant that Joe was the winner, and I’m not brilliant at maths but I think that if that 61% went out and bought the song (horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible choice) then the punk rockers who don’t deserve that spot will be well and truly beaten.
As I’ve already illustrated, the winners song isn’t exactly the best choice in fact its the worst one possible minus something by Mr Blobby. This year’s winner’s song is a cover of Miley Cyrus’ ‘The Climb’, which incidentally was ruled out of a major awards nominee list after it emerged that the song was never intended for the lovely Hannah Montana film. Typical Cyrus methinks. Anyway, I have no doubt that the source of ‘The Climb’ is turning people off from buying the X Factor version, its put me off buying.
The campaigners believe, deeply, believe that Rage Against the Machine deserve #1 because Cowell and X Factor has ruled the charts since Leona Lewis. True, none moreso than this year where across the 10 weeks of the final, any musical guest shot to the top of the charts after performing on the Sunday show. Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance was in the chart prior to her performance, shortly after, she hit #1 in sales and was UK #1 the following week. But some campaigners argue that RATM are deserved #1 contenders because- and I quote ‘they write all their own material’. Well, that argument could be put to Lady Gaga or N-Dubz or Chuckie and LMFAO. Doesn’t mean they deserve the place. Isn’t Christmas #1 supposed to be festive? Killing in the Name of isn’t and if anything it’s quite intimidating with its ironic chorus of ‘Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me’, yet some of its members think that they are actually doing the opposite of X Factor. I’d really like to know who thought that Killing in the Name of would be a perfect choice, there’s other rock/metal/punk bands out there who can tell you where to go and where to stick it. Stone Sour and Silly World? That way they could have put two fingers up to the establishment and Cowell, two birds with one stone. Had it been that, I may have considered purchasing it.
But given the alternative to buying the X Factor single, I’m sorry but I’m going to go without, this year. Rage won’t be #1 and this isn’t another Mad World. The difference? That song deserved its place, it meant something and it was listener friendly. Besides, once Christmas is over, XF isn’t on anymore and we won’t hear Joe again until next November.
