New Year, NEW SINGLE!

January came and went in a flurry of post-Christmas-get-your-ducks-in-a-row excitement!  The new single arrived AT LAST (after a lot of flummoxing around with the duplication company – aka, they
lost the first batch, and crushed the second batch) and we are SO freakin happy about how it turned out!

Sales are going crazy and it has me grinning!!! :)  Join the fray if you don’t have a copy yet – pick it up here in the Exitproject shop.

In other news, I spent the first Christmas back home in America for 4 years.  4 YEARS?!?!  How the bo-jangles did that happen??

It… was… faaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic…

I reveled in American-ness and did American things!  I sang the America version of ‘Away in a Manger’, I was surrounded by all the traditional family Christmas decorations like the Good Cheer
Blimp ornament and the hand-carved nativity that my Dad made.  I drank egg-nog (I drank egg-nog lattes), I ate Hershey’s, I went to the midnight service at the church I grew up in.

I

saw

my

family

!!!!!!!

Their fantastic Jarvi-faces speaking fantastic Jarvi-phrases.   The finest bunch there ever was…

AND my brother got engaged!  AND I’m his best man!  I get to plan the bachelor party, Yoink!

A robot is for life, not just for Christmas

Once there was a robot-girl.

She was misunderstood because she was a machine and people thought she didn’t have any feelings or emotions.

At Christmas, all her LED’s blinked red and green.

And her secure wireless connection password was ‘rudolph’.

And she spoke the words to Christmas carols – because she couldn’t sing.

But people passed her by and never wished her a Merry Christmas.  She was, afterall, just a robot.

But she had love and spirit in her heart-bot.  And more than anything she wanted to be able to sing Christmas carols and share goodwill with everyone she met.

Late one night, she said a prayer – a Christmas wish – to be able to sing… to finally be a part of Christmas.

She wished and wished, with her eye-lenses shut tight.  And the she wished and wished some more.

As she wished, it began to snow… and a star went shooting across the sky.

She paused…

She took a deep breath…

and SHE SANG!  Her Christmas wish came true!  And she went rolling down the streets sharing her Christmas song with everyone she met on the way.

And it was a very Merry Christmas!!

Wanna hear the song she sang?  Exitproject caught the whole thing on tape – listen to her version of Carol of the Bells on the Exitproject’s Last.fm page.
