Fun fact: the original title was just "Jump", but the title was changed to avoid confusion with another song title "Jump" released earlier in the same year. The Pointer Sisters otherwise would never be confused with the Van Halen brothers. As there are no great songs about "Leaping", here it is, your Leap Day Song.

We all have the Kraftwerk Tickets Blues.
Did you spend your lunch hour humming an Emil Schult lyric from Kraftwerk? Staring at that screen as you perhaps chawed on a salad that you picked up early so you get those tickets, you slowly had this sinking feeling. You're staring at the screen and over on the Facebook you see that your unemployed friend that is always getting a free this or that has tickets. Then some random friend that you aren't sure how you even met also proclaims their tickets and on the night that you wanted and your screen? Sigh. It's the Kraftwerk Tickets Blues.

"My Favorite Things", Supremes, 1966
Thinking of our friend Xavier's My Favorite Things brought thoughts about this old footage of The Supreme's from long ago. The song is pure classic and those pink flowing gowns are pure eleganza.

"X-Mas Swagger", Princess Superstar, 2012
Princess Superstar makes a gonzo video on 1-2-5 and by the Rockefellah Center Christmas Tree Thing, and it turns out awesome. Suddenly? I have Christmas spirit.

Today's forecast - Friday, December 2, 2011
Yes it is the morning and you are very very busy, and it feels like you are doing everything. In fact you are everything and everyone. You are Cher. See, yes, it is understood that you need to get things done, but maybe take the minutes needed to see Cher in the video above where she is portraying every member of the cast of West Side Story. Be inspired that you can be everything, do everything. Why?
It's that time of the year where there is so very much to do and so very many people to see that you need to know that you can do it, and you can. This weekend's weather will be amenable to that with temperatures in the 50's most of the time and lots of sun at least today and tomorrow. (If I can add one thing to your to-do list, let it be a brief survey of your winter coats to ensure that all of the buttons are secure because they can loosen at the end of a season and if you didn't attend to them last spring then you could face a button emergency once the weather does snap down.) So look at your calendar and ours (which is brimming with celebrations) and figure it all out. Do everything. Be everyone. Be Cher.

Reviews are in on the Lady Gaga Thanksgiving show thing.
Commercials with no volume were on for this and to my eyes it was some sort of Sarah Michelle Gellar comedy costume adventure show. Here's what I've found on the Facebook and the Twitters:
- Logo's Jon Mallow: Just watched Gaga's Thanksgiving Born This Way and I just have one question: if my iPhone can do all the stuff it can do, why do cordless mics still need that gigantic mic pack?
- Comedian Carolyn Castiglia: I only caught the "My Hair" number and I went with it, even the anti-bullying stuff, until she said, "Would you join me Richard?" and a beautiful black man started dancing around her piano. Then I was like, ok, this is not real.

And you thought this would be negative, didn't you? Here's another surprise: Lady Gaga's Marry the Night as remixed by The Weeknd.

For Your Friends, the 2011 gift guide: Give Shuffle
The iPhone has no place on the gym floor. It's bulky and distracting and simply not conducive for either weights or cardio. Go back in time to the simpler days of just enjoying your music (not the shit the gym is playing) and getting a good workout. A tiny powerhouse holding 2 gigs of music, the shuffle is ideal. Granted you will have to assume that the recipient has some decent headphones as Apple still has those really awful ones. It's $49 and available in silver (and some rather vibrant colors that really won't match anything else you are wearing). Give it to your friend that goes to the gym just to post pictures of himself at the gym to Facebook and Grindr.

This is a picture of George Michael's new boyfriend.
His name? "George Michael's New Boyfriend" will do.
