Foamy's Letter to Santa

first snowfall of the season

yesterday the northeast got hit with a snowstorm....nothing catrostophic, but a few inches - which is all it takes for everyone to freak out. Considering the fact that about 70% are driving SUV's nowadays - i dont really see the big deal.

Here is my commute home from my bus stop - I go up this block
and then turn onto my block.

By the time I got off the bus (and detoured to shoprite to pick up a few extra items for tonight's chanukkah party) - it was already dark. I think it would have been nice if the plows would have come down the streets by then, considering it was about 8 hrs since the snow began falling.

Trans Siberian Ochestra - IZOD

if you've never heard this band before - i encourage you to buy tix if they come to your town & GO!

what is Trans Siberian Orchestra's music like?

well, take Christmas songs, add in some heavy metal flair (yup - black leather pants with an unbuttoned white shirt & blond hair flipping...very David St. Hubbins), toss in Tommy Lee drum stick clicks before each song and some synchronized POLYPHONIC SPREE female hair flipping, while dressed like Lita Ford all while a Laser Floyd show is going on.

Cheesy? Ya betcha - and I loved every minute of it!

Here is a sample call MAD RUSSIAN'S CHRISTMAS:

But what REALLY made me go "WOW" - was the pyrotechics, and not just a little (OH-NO), we're talking they went ALL OUT circa 1984! Check out this clip I took of PRELUDE TO MADNESS:

Unfor, my memory card was full by the finale - but it was a treat....Steven Tyler joined the band on stage & performed DREAM ON & SWEET EMOTION (I havent seen him live since back in 1988 @ GIANTS STADIUM when AEROSMITH headlined with G&R / DEEP PURPLE)!

PS: if you CLICK HERE you will go back to a year ago when I first heard thier music laid out with Christmas Lights...this is Wizards of Winter at their finest!

my twinkling lights

aka: freezing your tail outside on sunday in 18 degree weather on a 20 foot ladder...

...the end results sure are pretty!

my decorating weekend

So this weekend Randy & I went nuts finishing up our chanukkah/x'mas decorating

Kitchen Window

Dining Room Buffet

Living Room Piano

Living Room Fireplace

(stockings: Mich, FOG, Derek, Randy)

then we headed outside for the lights - when randy wasnt looking I climbed up...and DAMN is it high up here!

hurry & take the pic....I'm FREEZING!
even the squirrels found something to do - they investigated our leftover pumpkins:
and when they couldnt take it with them - they helped themselves to it from the inside out!
check back later for pics of the front window & all the twinkling lights (and let me tell you - they are PRETTY!!!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY

happy birthday to you,

happy birthday to you,

happy birthday dear RANDYYYYY,

happy birthday to you!

ok, granted we did let the candles melt down quite far before we let you blow them out!

Here is Mr. & Mrs. HOME DEPOT saying "happy birthday" to you too!

Look out Abercrombie

there's a new 23 m/o wonderkid in town...and this model's name is TODD JACOB!

Beyonce's SINGLE LADIES

I'm not sure what makes me keep watching this video:
1) wondering if JANE FONDA was hired as choreographer? Oh Boy, does this video remind me that I need to head TO THE GYM & WORK OUT!
2) makes me think "COOL, ANOTHER 'WHITE CHICKS' DANCE-OFF" !
3) makes me go "UH-HUHHHHHH" for my two friends who know who I'm taking about ;)
4) reminds me of the WANNABES from "SCHOOL DAZE".
....whatever it is - I watched this video 5 times in a row!
