I so very much want this Dinosaur-themed restaurant on Parks and Rec to be a real place.

On the roommate compatibility form I had to fill out when I started college, I had to write what kind of music I like. I answered, Christmas music. There are two things you should deduce from this: 1) I know a thing or two about Christmas music. 2) I was not assigned a roommate.
Here’s one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time off of, hands down, the greatest Christmas album ever, Phil Spector’s “A Christmas Gift For You.” Who says making great Christmas music and shooting a lady in the face are mutually exclusive? That’s right: no one says that.
My favorite Christmas song of all time is whichever song from this album I happen to be listening to when you ask me. Every single one of them is gold.
Wall of Sound + Darlene Love/The Ronettes + Christmas = Fucking Heaven.

Olivia Olson All I Want for Christmas is You (Mariah Carey)
While this version is not the best ever recorded, it is the best recording (possibly of any song ever) by a ten-year-old. Plus, it’s from Love Actually, which all girls are legally required to love…actually.
From Wikipedia:
“According to director Richard Curtis’ commentary in the music section of the Love Actually DVD, Olson’s singing was so perfect, they were afraid the audience would not believe that a ten-year-old could really sing the way she did. They had to train her so that her singing would sound more believable.”
Personally, I suspect she’s a midget.

There is absolutely nothing to drink in my office today...
…so I just took a cup of tap water and poured into it some lemon juice that I found in the otherwise empty refrigerator, along with two packs of leftover Splenda from someone who was making coffee.

Fallout Boy What’s This (Nightmare Before Christmas)
Two holidays for the price of one!
Proud to say I introduced her to this awesome cover. I’m an unabashed Fall Out Boy fan, because despite Pete Wentz’s occasional eyeshadowed douchiness, shy lead singer Patrick Stump remains a great guy with an astounding voice. (See also: “Beat It” cover)
