O Come All Ye Faithful 
I passed my Video Game Design 2 class at ACC. Considering I’d all but given up on attempting to finish my final project, a NWN(1) mod, because I had no effing clue how to use it, up until a week before it was due, that’s pretty good.
It’s less than two weeks from Christmas, and I haven’t got all my shopping done yet. So that means braving weekend traffic to Austin. Not sure when I’ll get sat down to write my report on Aaron Thibault’s lecture. It’s starting to get stale in my mind.
Twisted Sister was just on Jay Leno, performing a version of the carol with the above title, featuring “We’re Not Gonna Take It” guitar chords. Watch for that on YouTube tomorrow morning. It was surprisingly well performed and heartfelt.
Edit: No YouTube of Leno, but TS has their own video on their site, and audio/official cartoon video on their MySpace page. There’s also a live-action version. And it turns out, they know good and well that their song and the carol are basically the same tune with different rhythm.

Exact same rhythm, different lyrics. The guitar bridge is almost verbatim.
Those 80’s hairbands did too many drugs to think up something new to play.
Play the most popular song, “Insert lyrics here” is their mantra.
I happen to like TS, and I was quite amused by their new video. Even though, that too, was almost verbatim of their “We’re not gonna take it” video.
Probably “As intended”.
