Happy Chanukah!

We had our family holiday party last night, with latkes and pastrami sandwiches and presents and candles and watching the Giant game. So that was great. My grandmother got me an Amazon gift card and I ordered Plotto, because I am a bad person. I also ordered Juan and his Latin Lantzmen, an album of bad salsa covers of Yiddish pop tunes which failed to be a novelty hit back in the '50s. Because I am a bad person. I also ordered music and books with somewhat less dubious qualities.


I finished first draft of Yuletide story yesterday, too! And volunteered to beta-read a couple of stories for people. Yuletide is going well. Time to start revising my story, and also to consider treats.

Apparently I have already been gifted two (probably Moses und Aron) stories. The amount that I am excited about this knows no bounds. We're doing Jewmas at freeradical42's house this year, and I will likely be absenting myself from the proceedings for a bit, as I usually do, to read the stories as soon as I possibly can. And then bounce up and down and try to get everyone else as excited as I am about Yuletide.

Hee. I gave my dad a copy of Mazeltov, Mis Amigos a couple years back for father's day. I got no complaints, but I'm not sure I've ever heard it come up on his stereo, either. I should ask what he thought of it.

It is delightfully terrible. There are good Jewish/Latin fusion bands- Roberto Rodriguez leads a good one, as at one point did Frank London. This is not a good Latin/Jewish fusion band. But it is hilarious to hear Papirosn and Bei Mir Bist Du Schon and all these songs that were already a wonderfully kitschy and vaguely embarrassing part of my childhood get mangled like this.
