i always feel that things like this are insulting me
"hey, dummy, go pretend you live in a kinkade painting. go down some 'drinking chocolate' and listen to soft jazz, you small, stupid animal."
it is kind of irritating!

Be irritated, then. I'd rather be comfy.

Last Christmas we put up a Youtube cracklin' fire, because I'm sensitive to woodsmoke and we don't have digital cable (which nowadays has a Yule Log channel).

This reminds me of Patton Oswalt's gentle tweets, which are becoming less and less of a joke these days.

Why does this make me want to weep?
I have my iPod loaded with "environmental sounds" to keep me calm throughout the day. I actually think this site, with a video crackling fire and rain sounds, is something that I will pull up on Thanksgiving and Christmas, to distract me from my surroundings.
Did you ever see Soylent Green? No spoilers, but I think, sometimes, that I would gladly jump in the grinder, just for a few minutes of connection with a better world.

For the longest time the Yule Log channel was one of the reasons I hung on to cable. Last year they didn't have it (at least not for my package of channels). :(
My tv loves YouTube. Another reason to ditch cable -- THIS WILL BE THE YEAR!

Probably the greatest tweet in Twitter history.

Loved, shared. Happy. One of the best things about the internet is Yule Log all the time.

The rain and music 'buttons' are only graphics on the version I get. Can't turn down the music, which is completely WRONG, at 6:28 am.

You can set rain-noise and music volume by changing the numbers in the fields adjacent to the graphics. Mute is 0.

Oh, and here's some relevant Soviet oil paint animation.

Wow, I loved that Soviet animation. It rang a bell, like something I saw once twenty years ago, but I can't be sure I did or it just felt that way. Lovely.

Create a fake fireplace with a mantel above your flat screen tuned to fake fire channel, hang your stockings and watch as Santa comes down the chimney.

The tones are different, but the rhythm is exactly the same as my dishwasher in the next room. (How rich would you be if you could design a dishwasher that sounded like that?)

Chicago's TV station WGN usually shows several hours of fireplace with instrumental Christmas music starting on Christmas Eve and into Christmas morning.
