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.

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 recording artists received VideoFACT funding for their early recordings, including… read more »

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.

Link!
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.
