cornerofmadnessWe didn't do much really other than finishing wrapping and cooking for tomorrow (as we do Christmas eve with my brother and SiL and we do prime rib so the oven is out of commission for that).
I did find she didn't put all the Christmas cards in one spot (sigh) and thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tinhutlady for hers!
We did take Mom out to Drover's which is the wing place she wanted to go to (also I took her out to the casino buffet last night). It might have some of the best wings ever, fried crispy so they're not all fatty and gross. It's in an old drover's hostel from the early days in WV. I hadn't been there in years. I would have liked to have gone down into the tavern in the basement too but alas.
I got some work done on my lectures that desperately needed doing.
I tried to call the vet for Kanda (who has an ear infection...I'm hoping. His ear is draining, occasionally blood). But no joy. It'll have to wait til monday.
I was sad so see Carrie Fisher had a massive heart attack and am hoping she pulls through.
And since I was rushing to put something up last night before LJ died again, here have 2 days of music.
Day 22nd - Have a little Big Bad Voo Doo Daddy. I've loved this band for 20 years now (yeah I can't even). This is one of their earlier songs that someone put to a dance clip that is amazing in how athletic and wild it is. I forget the movie it is from and yes, you DO have to look past the terrible racial stereotyping of the happy servant Black person but just look at how amazing these dancers are.
Day 23 - I've become fond of Postmodern Jukebox with its rotating cast of singers and their experimentation with doing covers in various musical styles. Some work better than others but it's fun to give it a listen. Here's a few samples

I LOVE that jazz version of "Sweet Child of Mine"! :D

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was fun.
