Why Doesn't Santa Use Unicorns?
Make believe. Let me just say that make believe at Christmas
time has never been an issue in the past, ever. But for some
reason, this year I am having this realization about how I am
lying to my kids. NOT that its going to stop me from keeping
the dream alive about this fake guy called Santa but still.
I have inquisitive kids. So much so that with every question
its getting tougher and tougher to lie. I feel like I'm digging
this hole of a lie that I am certainly not going to remember the
answers for by the time next year rolls around. But the kids will!
Examples of Questions I've been asked:
What does Santa do for work
because the elves make the toys)?
How old is Santa?
Does Santa have kids?
What was Santa like as a boy?
When will Santa die?
Who is Santa's mom?
What time does Santa come to our house?
Even the Jesus part of Christmas is false.
Its not his birthday at all.
More lies I have to keep up with....
sigh..
Whatcha lookin for hun?
Cynics are made, not born.
I should probably stop paying such close attention to kids shows..
Maybe?
What I Would Ask Butch Walker
Link: http://butchwalker.com/
I saw this interview of Butch Walker by Uber Rock and thought to myself, what questions would I ask Butch Walker? Perhaps my own little Dinner for 5 like Jon Favreau. Who thinks this at one point in their life about an artist or celeb? Perhaps contemplates the ol' dinner dilemma and 10..err 11 questions to ask? Me. I do. I am that person.
So I thought of 11 questions. That's an odd enough number. Here goes:
1. What is your writing process? Maybe this is a really amateur writers sort of question but for me, I have many methods of writing. Sometimes I start with a fraction of a melody, sometimes there are words and no music, sometimes there is just a chorus.In other words, may I have a moment inside your brain please?
2. Ever forget the lyrics? How do you recover in the midst of a song?
3. How do you handle writers block?
4. How does collaborating with others work(Amateur question again. I know)?
5. How is your liver?
6. Ever wipe out on a bike?
7. Any pet peeves about technology? From the start of your career technology has evolved from email and a website to sending instant statuses and having access to music of any kind at the click of a button. Anything you hate about it?
8. What did you have for lunch? 
Inquiring minds...and the answer is?
9. First car as a kid?
10. Most misunderstood lyric besides the more recent Brian Adams line in Summer of '89?
11. What's it take to get a tweet back besides a "Hey it's my (Insert name here)'s birthday, (insert name here) would be so happy if you tweeted back?" or a tweet about how you only respond to birthday tweet requests?
Yes, so.that.is.it. my.questions.....sigh.
P.S. The guy in the Uber Rock interview looked so excited to be there and I mean that. No Jen sarcasm for once.
You're welcome.
It's always a Catch-22 situation. They hate you if you're the same, and they hate you if you're different. -Eddie Van Halen
Song in my head this morning.
Suck it haters, Van Halen ruled.
Children learn to smile from their parents.
There are those things in life that hit the nail right on its head.
This is one of those things.
If I ever stop laughing, I'm dead.
Everytime I read this, I laugh. Its the 8 ball answering emails.

Have you got a typeface called Garamond Semibold? I have the Garamond and bold and italic but not the semibold. I am doing a poster for Cathy and I reckon garamond would look good.

Would You Like Some Chicken McNuggets?
One of my favorite podcasts is Hollywood Babble-On with Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman. I never miss it. Ralph Garman cracks me up with his voices and impressions. There was one podcast awhile back about the Rebecca Black "Friday" song that even today, makes me laugh out loud. Its sooooo wrong on many levels but so funny. Ralph Garman does a comparison and impression of a special McDonald's worker singing the Friday song along with meal suggestions.
At the 4:00 minutes in I am sitting at work, laughing to myself in my cube knowing, this is sooooo wrong.
