A blog about all the aspects of life, from music and movies, to relationships, to society's obsession with celebrities, it's all covered here in one tiny little space called Your Friend Lela.
It's that time of year again, ladies and gents. Thanksgiving is officially over [and what a delicious holiday it was!], everyone has hopefully started their Christmas shopping (if not for others, at least for themselves. Guilty as charged), and there's a chill in the air. I tend to be one of those obnoxious people that starts listening to Christmas Music the minute Halloween is over, but for some reason I just wasn't into it this year. Even Thanksgiving didn't really feel like the "holidays" to me, but yesterday I helped my mom get all of her Christmas decorations out and all it took was the twinkle of one set of Christmas lights and I was full of Christmas Cheer! I listened to Christmas tunes all the way back to Nashville and they have been entertaining me this morning as well.
Now, I don't always love Zoe Deschanel [unless it's on The New Girl], but I kind of enjoy the new She & Him Christmas album. There are a few duds, but there are also a few really great renditions on Christmas Classics. Take a listen below and check back later for more Christmas tunes [and some regular ole tunes for you Scrooges out there].
For some unknown reason, I do not have SNL scheduled to record on my DVR. I am one of approximately 10 people that still watch and enjoy it and every Monday I find myself smacking my forehead for missing another fabulous episode. This week featured another one of my celeb boyfriends, Jason Seigel [ I don't understand it either...] and the ever fabulous Florence + The Machine. Florence sang "Shake It Out" [which I did not post because it wasn't the strongest performance. Am I crazy, or was she flat almost the entire time] and "No Light, No Light" which are two of my favorite songs off of the new album.
I would like to mention, because it's what we do here, that Flo's fashion sense was SPOT.ON. for this show. I will take both of those dresses, please and thank you.
She also must have a pretty great sense of humor, because she participated in this highly ridiculous skit.
Ok, this doesn't get me quite as giddy as Drake [what does?], but I'm certainly not mad at this new Jessie Baylin EP. It really is the perfect soundtrack for this gloomy, gloomy day.
As y'all probably know, I have lots of celebrity boyfriends but my very favorite one is oddly Canadian and is affectionately known as my "light skinned boyfriend". He is the one, the only, Drizzy Drake and he has a new album out. I worked my little tushy off to this at the gym yesterday and I happen to think it will jump start your morning?
I'm pretty sure these Christmas Gift Ideas speak for themselves, so I'm just going to let them do so. Feel free to buy them for your loved ones [or it might be more appropriate to buy for someone you hate].
