So what if I'm answering this again?! I have lots of funny videos to share with the world!
I remembered one that I didn't discover on YouTube. I love the show Scrubs, and here's one of many reasons why:
I'm sorry, but the Scrubs episode "My Way Home" is absolutely one of the best episodes of any television show I've ever seen. The entire episode is modeled after The Wizard of Oz, and it's just done so ingeniously. (Not to mention it has a splendid arrangement of Somewhere Over the Rainbow at the end as performed by Ted's Band, aka The Blanks.) Wikipedia has an article on the episode here, and it includes a table comparing features of the episode to their corresponding parts in The Wizard of Oz (including quite a few details that I would never have noticed on my own). If you've never watched Scrubs, you absolutely have to; then again, I'm biased, as it is My Favorite Television Series of All Time Ever.
And speaking of The Wizard of Oz, I plan on finally starting Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West tonight. I've been waiting aaaaaall semester to read this freakin' book, and now I finally have the time. I'm a huge fan of the musical, and from what I hear the book is much different (not to mention darker), so I'm eager to start it. For now, however, I must continue to indulge my laziness by watching a movie to get me feeling Christmas (it's been difficult, as the weather has been in the 60s and 70s for the past two weeks): It's time for some Love, Actually.
Music that I happen to find particularly moving lately: "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin" off Colin Hay's previously mentioned album Going Somewhere. I didn't realize it, but I first heard this song performed on an episode of Scrubs by one of the episode's characters. The context of the song there was especially touching, and when I heard the original version of this song on Colin Hay's CD, I fell even more in love with it. I just watched the Scrubs episode, and of course... now I'm all sad. But still, I love this song so much. Posting all the lyrics would take up way too much space (c'mon Vox, give us some form of lj-cut-esque thing), so I'll post a tidbit and a link if you're interested in reading the rest.
Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
And I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down, down, down, on me
And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart
Let the light shine in
But don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
Full lyrics: Waiting for My Real Life to Begin
The lyrics on that website are missing the last line of the song, which just so happens to be the subject line of this post.
