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?

Please, don’t thank me. Thank Lis.

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.

NaBloPoMo is over, Christmas is coming… it must be December!

Time to dust off some corny Christmas carols, Muppet style.

In my head, Tim and I sound exactly like Freddie Mercury when we sing Bohemian Rhapsody on SingStar.

In reality, we probably sound much closer to the version above…

Thank you for the tip, Mama Mia!

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!
