Lydia sent me Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales as mp3’s, so I thought I’d share them. Hopefully this will work, as I haven’t got time to tweak Odeo and bend it to my will like I normally do.
UPDATE: Nope, it don’t. Will try to fix it later, wish me luck. This should work.

No need for a calendar anymore, Leslie Harpold.
Multi-talented Internet personality, muse, mentor, inspiration and creator of the famous online Advent Calendar Leslie Harpold died at home over the weekend of complications of bronchitis.
She’d hate this to be tied to classic didacticism, but she’d hate being dead, too, so I’m going to go ahead and take this opportunity to remind people to get themselves checked out when they get sick. Sure, you may think the doctor will assume you’re a wuss, but better that he see you every fall and think you’re a wuss than he not see you this year and never get the chance to again. You can’t tell when it’s potentially fatal pneumonia or pleurisy or whatever…he can.
The Advent Calendar is frozen on December 7, and serves as a poignant memorial to a woman who was more interested in what magic she could bring to or bring out in other people than in herself.

Yes, it’s time for another installment of raincoaster’s multiculti holiday multimedia…ums. Today we’re featuring “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fishmen” from the HP Lovecraft Historical Society, who broke my heart when their free downloadable Miskatonic diploma wouldn’t bloody well download, but I’m SO OVER THAT!
It’s beginning to look a lot like fish-men
Everywhere I go;
From the minute I got to town
And started to look around
I thought these ill-bred people’s gillslits showed.
I’m beginning to hear a lot of fish-men
Right outside my door,
As I try to escape in fright
To the moonlit Innsmouth night
I can hear some more.
They speak with guttural croaks and to hear them provokes
A profound desire to flee
Their eyes never blink and quite frankly they stink
Like a carcass washed up from the sea.
I wish I’d paid attention to that crazy drunken man.
He tried to warn me all about old Marsh’s Deep One clan.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Fish-men
Everywhere I go;
They can dynamite Devil Reef,
but that’ll bring no relief,
Y’ha N’thlei is deeper than they know.
I’ll continue to see a lot of fish-men
That I guarantee.
For the fish-man I really fear
is the one who’s in the mirror
And he looks like me.
He looks just like me.

Technorati me!
A Des Moines man was attacked by his roommate this morning. The injuries are not considered to be life-threatening. The weapon: a hamster ball.
He told officers he was sleeping when his roommate attacked him. He said he tried to run but the roommate grabbed a hamster ball and hit him in the head with it. The roommate then took a curtain rod and hit him with it, then bit Johnson on the arm, leaving teeth marks.
It left the cutest little bruises…

and I’m not talking brandy and rum for once. In our continuing series of inclusive, multiculti holiday features here on the ol’ raincoaster blog, there is one group we have overlooked; a group, it could be said, that has more right to representation on Jesus’ birthday than any other. A group with which he has a great deal in common. Indeed, they are a group in which he always took an unhealthy interest. We are going to rectify that omission now. We are going to post this heartwarming commercial from South America featuring a group to warm the cockles of your…cockles.
The accursed. The shunned. The murderous. The insane. The undead.
