Dean Martin – Baby It’s Cold Outside
I realize that no one who lives in California, especially Northern California, and even more especially the Bay Area ought ever to be caught complaining about the weather, but, I mean to say– today was a really warm day. I am wishing for December, and imagining a white Christmas. As such, I am playing Christmas music.
Currently Playing: Dean Martin – Baby It’s Cold Outside
The song is not working. It’s 3:30 am, and it’s still altogether too warm. I almost wish it really *would* snow. Of course, were it ever to snow in Berkeley I’d almost certainly be the first to complain about how cold the weather is.
This is a pretty adorable song. Sure there may be slight overtones of sexism and date rape, but hey– it was 1944, and if we all learned last time that the 1950s were awesome, how amazing must the ’40s have been? Plus it’s Dean Martin; he can seduce me any old time, and I ain’t even gay.
Today’s Question: Make a wish. What is your wish?
Obviously were I granted a wish right now I’d not wish for snow; but what would I wish? I’m honestly not sure. At the risk of sounding panglossian, my life right now is exactly what I want it to be. I suppose I could go all high road on you and wish for world peace or a World Series win for the Cubs, but on a personal level? I’m blessed with so much more in life than I probably deserve as is, a wish would be gilding the lily.
Indeed, this is too hot for berkeley…pretty unusual, it should be cooling down by this time of the year. My ice-cream is melting.
Here Here! This years weather is crazy.
i wish snow flakes and money will fall from the sky in this hot hot hot weather….i am melting….
white christmas. *sigh* i hate texas, i only have green ones. and your holiday musical selection is lovely. :D
finally, i would tell you my wish…but i believe that if you say it out loud, it will not come true. so you’ll just have to wonder.

My wish is to turn back the clock just for a day. I’d like to be 12 again and go fishing with Pops @Lake o’ The Pines. Those were carefree days where I’d wear my hair in pigtails, put on my cut-offs, never wear shoes and fish and chat with the sweetest grandpa in the world. He had an answer and/or solution for everything. I miss ya Pops! I bet you could mend this old broken heart of mine tonight with just a smile and a hug!
I can’t wait for Christmas either. we don’t get snow, but i love listening to all the christmas songs!
If I could make a wish…it would be…that my family would always be safe.

I wish that I could meet some of my Xanga friends because, like Peasprout says, even though I know so little about you, there is a small, strange bond.
