IT COULD BE WAR
I bought a great CD today. Christmas Cocktails from Ultra-Lounge (motto: Hi-Fi Holiday Cheer from Santa's Pad). It has Peggy Lee's Winter Wonderland, Julie London's I'd Like You for Christmas, Dino's I've Got my Love to Keep Me Warm, you get the idea. Great stuff. It inspires me to mix my cocktails in the glasses my dad had in his dry sink when I was a kid. Those frosted Tom Collins glasses with cartoon characters on the sides. One was of a drunk at a bar, telling the bartender "If my wife calls, tell her all is forgiven." Another was a fly-blown floozy on the phone saying "Mom? Guess what? I'm married!" I don't remember the others, but that's the groove this CD inspires.
So what's the problem? The Bride wants to sit by the fire and listen to it. I've listened to it once today, though, and now The Two Towers is on Starz.
Freakin no brainer.
UPDATE: I won. God, I love to win. But see, I convinced her we could watch the movie, then curl up by the fire with the CD at midnight. Everyone's a winner in Velociman's world. As long as you play by my rules.
