Literal videos

Elizabeth June 6th, 2009

Today I discovered literal music videos, which probably makes me the last one to the party. And now I’m hooked!

As one YouTube commenter said, if I could double-favourite this I would!

At about the 2-minute mark I remember having to actively choose between watching and breathing, as I seemed to be unable to do both with all the laughter getting in the way. Other videos are less cleverly-written, but I did enjoy White Wedding and Take On Me.

If you know of any other brilliant ones, tell me!

#22 – List 101 things that make me happy

Elizabeth May 31st, 2009

Part of my 101 Things in 1001 Days challenge.

I completed this task some time ago, but never wrote about it here to let you guys know. In fact, there have been a number of items that I’ve quietly completed over the past year and never reported here in my blog. I’m sad that I didn’t always force myself to write, because some of the details are lost forever. I know that my next 101 list will operate a little differently to this one; I guess I’m learning all the time.

Anyway, I was reminded of my own happy list recently while reading Rockstar Diaries – one of my new all-time favourite reads from the blogosphere. Taza (and husband) run this beautiful little blog about their lives and love, and every post brings a smile to my face. In particular, I’ve really been enjoying Taza’s recent here’s to happiness category, in which readers submit ten things that make them happy.

So here is my own happy list.

If I was to begin another list of 101 things that make me happy, this video might be on it. Just another little gem that Taza has introduced me to!

Best wedding ever!

Brian & Eileen’s Wedding Music Video. from LOCKDOWN projects on Vimeo.

Now that I have watched this twice I am experiencing some localised aches – possibly recurrant singstarsepticemia. It’s a nasty condition that can only be alleviated with a red or blue microphone.

Excuse me.

Two dogs.

Another lightweight post, but at least it will make you laugh!

Found this brilliant Frontline ad at Idle Musings. Spotted in an Indonesian shopping centre.

And I know that most of you will have seen this by now, but I’m posting it here in case anybody has missed it. But be warned – this will probably make you want to go out immediately and buy a dog…

I could watch this video every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.

Everything is amazing, nobody is happy.

Louis CK, on why nobody is happy.

Today is pretty great so far, so I don’t fall into that category! After a really late night we slept until noon, and now Tim is making coffee and banana pancakes. Afterwards we’re planning to sit down and do some sums on the cars we test drove yesterday.

Life is grand ♥

Latest gadget from Sony

Elizabeth February 28th, 2009

This just in: Sony Releases New Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn’t Fucking Work! I’m planning to pick mine up this afternoon.

Clever commercial from Leowe

(Another debt owed to Swiss Miss)

Marry Me

Elizabeth February 15th, 2009

Directed by Michelle Lehman, last year’s Tropfest Australia winning film, Marry Me, tells a little love story about “a little girl who likes a little boy and a little boy who likes his BMX bike”. The film was inspired by a true story when director, Michelle, at 5 years of age, would chase Jason Mahooney around the school in a pretend wedding dress (her mother’s nightie).

Enjoy this beautiful little film, especially if it’s still Valentines Day where you are! You can watch it in higher resolution by going to its YouTube page and clicking “watch in high quality”.

Video of the day

T-Mobile, guerilla-style.

Elizabeth January 18th, 2009

I know this has been doing the rounds over the past few days, but I thought I’d share it here in case anyone has missed it. The commercial below was filmed last week at Liverpool St Station, using hidden TV cameras to capture dancing flash mobbers. It must have been incredible to see this in person!

This is one of those times when the high-res version is a must, so head to YouTube and click the “watch in high quality” link below the video.

Cute things falling asleep

Elizabeth January 18th, 2009

cutethingsfallingasleep.com. It’s exactly what it says it is.

If you can watch this without cracking a smile or a little awwwww!, see your cardiologist pronto.

I don’t do well without coffee

Elizabeth November 27th, 2008

I almost missed posting today! I’ve been asleep since about 5:30pm, trying to fend off an impending migraine. I guess my little bloggerometer woke me up just in time to make today’s post.

Enjoy this cute little video that I came across a few days ago – I did!

(I have the same complaint about movie popcorn sizes.)

High Five!

Elizabeth November 26th, 2008

I am now a better person for having seen this video. It is mesmerizing.

Thank you for the tip, Mighty Girl!

Story Time!

Elizabeth November 25th, 2008

A breathtaking story by Capucine. Starring baby monkeys lost in frightening trees, a witch, crocodiles, a tiger, a “popotamus” and a lion, and even a “tremendously very bad mammoth”. There are also magic powers and an orange ring, but sometimes, “something goes amiss”.

If you can watch this without your heart threatening to burst out of your chest with acute overcuteness, you should see a doctor. Maybe you don’t have one.

The alphabet song

Elizabeth November 22nd, 2008

This video is mesmerizing, and I could watch it all day.

Mind you, I have taken a fairly serious amount of cold & flu medication today. Could there be a connection?
