This Womans Work

This is such a beautiful song. I'm not generally a huge Kate Bush fan, but this one makes me cry! It doesn't hurt that it was in this movie that I loved loved loved when I was 15. Me thinks it might have been for Kevin Bacon??? Yes, I did adore him thanks to Footloose.
This was another one of those John Hughes movies that were so huge in the 80's. Is it just me or are teen movies not as good as they used to be? Maybe I'm just getting old...or maybe its the TRUTH! Hannah Montana? No thank you!

Sigur Ros

We watched this wonderful movie last night on our brand spanking new 42" flast screen! Sigur Ros are such a creative and inspiring band. They're Icelandic, and this documentary follows them as they return home to do a series of free concerts. Iceland is a country I'd love to visit. It's so barren, wild and beautiful. I was having second thoughts though when I saw the feast they were eating at one of the shows... sheep heads and jellied meats of all sorts. Not my cup of tea, but when in Iceland, I guess!
I also noticed an abundance of these sweaters, called Lopapeysa, or Lopi for short.

Yes, I had to google it... and yes, now I really have to go to Iceland to buy one! Perfect for camping!

Childhood Crush #1 ... Fred Astaire.

Oh Fred. I remember from the time I was a very little girl I have always loved him! I've always loved to dance, but never realized how much until I was in my 20's. I took about 2 years of West Coast Swing, it was such a ball! One day I would absolutely love to learn how to tap dance. I envision heaps of humiliation and falling on my ass, but it looks like so much fun! And I could pretend I was dancing cheek to cheek with my Fred...

I love Ricky

Sharp Dressed Man

I bought this Calvin Klein shirt in New York for my nephew a few years ago, and it just happened to fit Henry too. Warren took this video of him and put it to ZZ Top. My poor doggy does not look all that impressed with being our little dress up dolly, but the effect is so funny!

Oh Napoleon

I have a confession to make.
I dance like this in the privacy of my own home... frequently. I just laughed my ass off the first time I saw this!
This movie is just so funny on so many levels. The chickens talons, the tator tots, the sweet jumps... what's not to love? And this dance was just the icing on the cake. I needs to get me some Napoleon Dynamite boots and I'm all set!

The Shining - Trailer

Watching this trailer makes me feel better. Quite hilarious!!!!!!!! Who knew The Shining was the feel good movie of the year?

My favourite commercials...

These Tango ads are some of the funniest (and strange) I've ever seen. I'm a huge fan of British humour though, so they're right up my alley. If you go to Youtube, there are a lot of older ads you can check out. This is Warren's and my favourite. Sheer and utter brilliance.
Enjoy!

TERRIERS!

I love Kids in the Hall. They were one of the first cool Canadian things on TV, and believe me, in the 1980'2 and 90's, there wasn't much on the good old CBC (except maybe the Beachcombers - Ha ha!)
I also happen to love terriers, and always have, so this video was always one of my favourite bits.
Enjoy!

Bullfrog

This is from last Sunday's Family Guy. Warren and I were both crying we were laughing so hard. Poor little frog...

Combat Paper Project

I just had to share this inspiring documentary about the Combat Paper Project. It's a truly touching video, and the process of cutting up their uniforms to make something useful and beautiful seems to be a cathartic step in the healing process for them. Enjoy!

Windy Day

I...CAN'T...GET...THIS....SONG...

out of my head! And i LOVE it!
It's by a Swedish group called Peter Bjorn and John. Love it, love the video. Love love love! I've been whistling it all day!

The Lady's of MAD TV

OK, just learned how to put video on my blog, could be dangerous!
I laugh out loud every time I watch this, and I've watched it many, many times... Lorraine in garters, does it get any better than that?
