As is Stray Hawkeye Christmas tradition:

Unfortunately, from what I can tell, the idea of making the celebration pirate themed doesn’t seem to have caught on.

Per Stray Hawkeye blog tradition (2008, 2009), here’s your yearly dose of Imogen Heap’s “Just for Now”. I don’t really have anything new to say about it from the last two posts, aside from I still love this song, and think it’s perfect for the holidays.

Merry Christmas.

I’ve decided that posting this around New Year’s is now a tradition as well:

Also, you know what I’m looking forward to about the New Year’s Eve celebrations next year?  Seeing how they’re going to make those stupid plastic eye glasses where the frames are in the shape of the year out of a 2011.  Maybe everyone will have to ring in the New Year with only one eye open and the whole celebration all around the world will be pirate themed.  Happy New Yarrrrrr!

I posted this video last year around Christmas time too, and I think I’m going to make it a tradition.  I still really like this song, and love the performance of it.  I think it fits the season and time of year well, and it’s just pleasantly calming for me in a time of year that can have a lot of stress.  So, here you go, Imogen Heap singing Just For Now:

Also, due to travel, holidays,  job stuff, generally taking a break, excessive bowl game watching in one last binge of college football before The Long Painful Months Without College Football, etc, etc, I’m going to be mostly AWOL from posting for the next couple weeks – somewhere between sporadic and non-existent until early to mid January, and then should resume the standard “most every weekday when I remember and can find some spare minutes” posting pattern.  Til then, just keep watching the above video in a loop.  It’ll make you feel better.
