Because I'm Awesome and You're Bored

I thought I’d share some sweet videos I’ve favourited on Youtube.


Neil Patrick Harris is the SHOE FAIRY. Fuck yeah.


Just like all the other movies from your youth you figured that if you watched Little Shop of Horrors again you’d ruin it because it wouldn’t be as good as your remembered right? If this one song is anything to go by I think that hypothesis is wrong!


500 Days of Summer wasn’t too awful, I guess. I mean Joseph Gordon-Levitt starred in it and I’ve loved him since I first saw 3rd Rock from the Sun. But this trailer looks like it’d make a much better movie!


You like True Blood too? Sweet.

What's hotter than a couple of geeks battling on Youtube by making covers of songs with not quite instruments?

Nothing!

Watch these videos in order and prepare to swoon.

Your move Jake.

Almost enough to make me want to be a ballet dancer

Almost…apart from the fact I’m lazy and inflexible and too old.

Best to leave it to the pros, like these Royal NZ Ballet dancers who performed this amazing tribute to Lady Gaga after just 12 hours of rehearsal time. <3

Nameplate Competition Winner

Somehow I decided that making my first bloggy video would be a good way to announce the winner of the nameplate necklace competition despite being a terrible actress, having no idea how to edit video, and never having made one before. Once I got started though I was determined to finish.
So here it is, atmospheric feedback and all. Please go easy on me.

I thought Sarah-Rose was very right when she said that font 5 would look adorable as a sweary word so I got it cut last night. I’m wearing it in the video and below.

Just as I finished recording the courier came with a package for me from Pakistan. It was all wrapped in cloth and I was a bit scared of it till I remembered my glasses were coming from Pakistan!
They are amazing for $26 NZD delivered! The right eye feels slightly blurred My ears are wonky so the right eye doesn’t line up properly all the time and is a teensy bit less clear, but I can still see great in them, they look cool and they even came with a hard case and cloth. Woop, will definitely be buying glasses online again.

New $26 glasses

Now I’m off to see Harry Potter. :D

O and please don’t name the winner in the comments so it’s a surprise.

Whittakers vs Cadbury

I wanted to include this advert in yesterday’s Pick N Mix but couldn’t find it online anywhere. It has shown up on NZ TV recently after big changes made by one of our major chocolate manufacturers. Cadbury has moved production to Australia, reduced the size of their blocks of chocolate, reduced the amount of cocoa solids in the chocolate and added palm oil to their recipe (which not only negatively affects the taste of the chocolate but also contributes to deforestation in Indonesia).

Whittakers’ is taking a well deserved dig at them here. I think without even trying Whittakers’ has just taken a large chunk of Cadbury’s consumer base, Cadbury basically handed it to them on a platter.

If you would like to protest against Cadbury’s use of palm oil you can join the Facebook group or sign the petition.

Get To Your Children Before the Beauty Industry Does

This video is beautiful, and thought provoking. If you don’t talk to your child at a young age about being comfortable with the way they look then the magazines, TV shows, movies, books they see and people they talk to are going to influence them first. You may have become accustomed to it like me. But this video by Dove made me take note of all the stupid crap I see everyday that makes me feel like I’m not good enough. The beauty industry is HUGE!

Desolation Row

New old music from My Chemical Romance. This is a cover of Bob Dylan’s Desolation Row, done in a punky style for the movie Watchmen coming out in March. I’m just excited to hear them do something new after over 2 years since their last studio release.

My Chemical Romance – Desolation Row

Barats and Bereta – O Hell Yes

What does Kim do when she’s home sick from work? Work on her blog? Psssshh. She watches funny videos, that’s what!

These Barats and Bereta guys are hillar!

Bible in a Minute

I Feel Like This Could Be A Theme Song

A theme song for many (if not most) females. And I don’t think that’s a good thing at all. That said, I can’t help but love Lily’s hair.

The Fear – Lily Allen

Lyrics
I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
‘Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track yeah I’m on to a winner

Chorus
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by The Fear

Life’s about film stars and less about mothers
It’s all about fast cars and passing each other
But it doesn’t matter cause I’m packing plastic
and that’s what makes my life so fucking fantastic

And I am a weapon of massive consumption
and its not my fault it’s how I’m program to function
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track yeah I’m on to a winner

Chorus

Bridge
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I’m killing them all on my own little mission
Now I’m not a saint but I’m not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I’m getting thinner

Chorus

The Latest Apple Dig at Vista

I’m not about to go out and buy an Apple computer, I’m actually waiting for a new Vista laptop to arrive next week.

And these ads are starting to get a bit old (even if we do get to look at Justin Long).

But…selling CUPCAKES(!!) to fix Vista. Hells yes :D
