Lil Miss Hot Mess

Thanks to Joie Rey (@gmail.com) for the photo!

Happy (half-assed) Holidays, Mary!  I’ve been a bad little blogger lately, but I’ll add it to my list of New Year’s resolutions.  Here’s to more hot messes in 2010!

My three favorite winter holiday songs after the jump:

Lately my Morning Song has been Nothing Compares 2 U — the Sinéad version.  I was brought back to it after reading Holcome Waller’s blog and listening to his gorgeous rendition.  It also made me think of the version that the Young@Heart choir sang (which sadly, I can’t find on the internet, but do mark your calendars because it’s screening on PBS and there will be free screenings in San Francisco and Oakland this month — seriously, I’ve never cried so much as I did during this movie.)  Here’s a live version of Sinéad, or you can click above for just the song:

I had a wonderful dinner tonight.  Even though I’m not in love with the history and violence and colonialism associated with Thanksgiving, it still feels convenient and wonderful to have a day set aside each year to celebrate and give thanks for what we have.  I know it’s impossible to truly separate the day or fully move on from its origins, but still.  Right now I’m focusing on the good.

Since moving out here, I haven’t been back east for Thanksgiving, and I actually really love that.  This year was one of the nicest holidays I’ve ever spent — really with people that I love.  I’m reminded of the phrase Armistead Maupin uses in Michael Tolliver Lives about the difference between our biological and our logical families.  Clever and true.  Something to be thankful for.

I’ve got this stuck in my head and it feels so appropriate:

I’ve been busy and haven’t been able to write much on the blog — though there are lots of things I’m thinking about — so I thought it’d be fun to take a minute and once again share the search terms that people use to find me:

• jessie spano is hot

If that mess doesn’t sum me up in a nutshell, I don’t know what possible could!
