Things I have learned in the last month.

1. Dutch girls are surprisingly good at football.
2. I am doomed to a life of having fingers that smell like onions. Seriously, what is the fucking cure for this?
3. "River" by Joni Mitchell is not a good song to play during dinner on Christmas. OH LISTEN, IT IS JINGLE BELLS, HOW JOLLY! OH NO WAIT, IT IS NOT!!@@!! IT IS A DEPRESSING HOLIDAY TRICK!@!! CURSES! Oops. Did Kiki & Herb ever do this one? They should have. I remember them singing something about skating but I think it was a different song.
4. Ethnographic analyses of burlesque performers are bo-o-o-ring. And they get more boringer the more times you get extensions on your final paper involving them.
5. "More boringer" is valid grammar at 1:20AM.
6. My boy's brother has the best musical taste of any Methodist minister (pastor? bishop? I went to Catholic school, don't look at me) in the US of A. [ed. note: them permalinks is broken, Father Chris]

Woo-hoo! Thanks for the mention and link.
So, what's a permalink? Does that mean you go right to what you've wanted to link to without having to scroll to see it?

re: the onions

wash your hands with COLD water and soap right away, if possible. otherwise, use lemon juice.

Rivers *does* sound like Jingle Bells at the start. What the fuck's up with that song? I thought rivers couldn't freeze because the water was moving.

Well, I guess if rivers can't freeze, she can't skate away. Hence all the ANGST!

Actually, rivers can freeze. Even the mighty Hudson (as I saw last winter when I commuted via ferry).

Re: hands smelling of onions, I believe I've heard that if you rub them against a stainless-steel utensil under cold running water, that may help. Or try rubbing them with baking soda, maybe?

Wasn't that skating song Kiki & Herb did written by Stephin Merritt specifically for one year's Christmas show?
I can't hear Space Oddity anymore without hearing it in Kiki's voice.
