Happy Friday!
The weekend is nearly here, and the thought of it makes my heart all smiley. We’re planning to jump in our car and drive until we find some snow. We’re going to take some photos, build a snowman and return with a happy & wet dog.
Can’t wait!
What have you got planned?

I loved the finale, but then I never expected it to give me the answers to all the questions it created in six long, brilliant years.
My new favourite hobby is watching nerds get really mad about that.

I’m waiting for the day that somebody offers to film me in high definition, as I leap for an airborne cupcake in open-mouthed slow motion.
What? Why is it okay for dogs and not for me?

A beautiful little video, spotted at Reuben Miller.

Un tour de Manège from Les Manèges on Vimeo.
I can’t stop watching this beautiful animation. The colours are absolutely mesmerising, and despite being a 3D animation it feels exactly like a watercolour/pencil illustrated children’s book.
Incredible, right?
Thanks to Loobylu for this lovely link.

Tim and I get the giggles whenever we see this ad on TV. Of course, commenters on the YouTube video have completely missed the point, and accused Cadbury of peddling poisonous chocolate to dogs.
Le sigh.
If you’re reading this from the other side of the world you won’t be familiar with their other recent ads. They’re so weird, but so good…

Heather Champ has been a staple of my RSS reader for a long time, probably thanks to mentions from Dooce and Maggie Mason over the years. She takes beautiful photographs, and these days helps others to do the same in her role as Community Manager at Flickr.
It came as a complete surprise to see this video in her latest blog post, given that I had no idea she was on holiday in Australia! This bridge is a Brisbane landmark, and has been special to me throughout my entire life. I think it’s really cool that somebody took the time to film it over the course of a day.
This video has reminded me that I need to take Tim on a CityCat ride along the river next month, when we’re back in town. I’m starting to get really excited about our little holiday!

I nearly committed sins against the NaBloPoMo gods by not writing a post in time today, but I’ll manage to scrape in 15 minutes before midnight!
I blame this awful Melbourne heatwave, the packed tram that I had to ride home, and the stench of B.O. in the air that I was utterly unable to get away from. By the time I got home I was really nauseous and needed to sleep it off.
(That sleep lasted a little longer than planned…)
I wish I was a Summer person, but I’m just not. I am really dreading the next few months.
Anyway, I’m lucky to have come across this Kate Nash song tonight, via Naturally Nina’s lovely blog, so that I have something to write about! In her post Nina compared Kate Nash to Regina Spektor, maybe because of her choice of instrumentation, but when I listened to this song it instantly made me think of Lily Allen. The accent makes that an easy comparison, but there’s something about her looks and attitude that makes me think that Lily has been a big influence.
The lyrics are pretty fantastic, and I love that the video managed to convey their suffocating relationship so cleverly using everyday domestic objects. It has certainly made me want to check out the rest of her stuff to see if it’s as good as this song.
Enjoy the tune, I’m off to resume my sleep!

This is easily the funniest thing I’ve seen on YouTube in weeks…

Finally, I’m heading towards the pointy end of an extremely busy work week. I have so many half-written posts that I haven’t been able to finish this week, so instead I’d like to share this spectacular music video with everyone.
I like to listen to this song when my mind needs some serenity…
Enjoy, and have a happy Friday!

There are certain sounds that are guaranteed to make my dog howl. Any sort of woodwind instrument will do it, as will repeated high notes on the piano. And, of course, the word “sing”.
This morning I recorded him singing, thinking it would make for a funny blog post. However, it got a whole lot funnier when I played it back on my phone…
I love that weirdo ♥
