Link!
As Aziza explained in her email, "John Steed and Emma Peel celebrate/demonstrate trope and formula...and look good doing so."
Yes, yes, they do.
Hope your weekend is full of style, rapier wit, fine vintages, and excellent chemistry!

Lynz sent me this link, and said, "I was channel-surfing the other day and paused when I saw a shot of an attractive man taking his shirt off - wow, that's a really awkward first sentence, I should start thinking more before I write. Anyway, my attention was thoroughly caught and I stopped to watch the video. Seconds later, what did I see but a Harlequin Suspense being used as a fan? I was thinking the video was really cute, until I hit the 2:20 mark, at which point I realized that it was the Best. Music video. Ever. Once I stopped laughing at the ending, I realized that other romance readers might get a kick out of it. Which made me think of you! "
Lynz is right - I thought this was adorable. And someone involved in the making of this video really likes romance novels.
Link!
Cool thing I learned: the video was produced with the help of MuchFACT, which is a Canadian fund that helps Canadian musicians produce music videos. Interesting fact: "Many of Canada's most influential… read more »
Jan Oda sent this video, from a bookshop, Type, in Toronto, Canada. It is adorable.

Yes, I wish the final frame was about a "real" book, though I understand what they're saying there.
I hope your weekend is filled with curious books in whatever format you want to read them.

Happy New Year to everyone, including Australia and New Zealand where I think they're celebrating already. This song makes me smile, and I hope it makes you smile, too.

Israel Kamakaiwo'ole died in 1997, and the crowd shots at the end are for the scattering of his ashes into the ocean in Hawaii.
New Year's is an end and a beginning, and may your new year bring peaceful ends and peaceful beginnings, and really, really good books.

There are many Christmas novelty songs on the radio - there's one station that started playing nothing but holiday music back in mid-November and I'd be ready to scream if I worked here. I hear "Dominic" a few times this time a year, as I think it's pretty popular in the New York and Boston radio stations.

Link! This song was originally recorded by Matisyahu. I am telling you, the Maccabeats are getting some use out of those toga costumes.
This year, the Maccabeats are raising awareness and funds for the Judy Greenberg Memorial Miracle Match fund which will help process buccal cell sample donations for bone marrow matching. The video also features Mayim Bialik, better known as 'Blossom,' who is credited as "Actress, Mom, and Neuroscientist" which is just all kinds of awesome.
Hanukkah starts Wednesday night next week, and then Christmas and New Years. May your holiday, whichever you celebrate, be healthy and full of miracles.

Via Joelle comes this truly evil song. It's like Erasure went and took Extra Strength EmoCedrin and made a song. About excavators. (I thought they were called backhoes, but what do I know? Apparently I know NOTHING. That's what I know.).
Good luck getting this out of your head.
I love the part where the excavator takes a shower. I hope your weekend is spent doing the things you love to do, and that you get to take a shower when you're all dirty and tired.

In case you've never seen this, when someone asks what you're having for dinner tonight, and you're in the US, you'll know what and how to say it.

Hope your holiday was full of...turkey!

Via Dawn comes this hilarious video that is truly not work safe, but utterly amazing in its…cheek. Dawn says, “I found this in a comment section on a Regretsy post. The post was the breast cancer video and several people left comments bemoaning the lack of a self exam video with hot girls. A commenter found this (and posted it in the comments with out warning anyone about the possibility of coffee-spitting).”
It’s below the fold, y’all.
