Hyperbole and a Half →
Just found this blog and have been laughing all morning. This one about procrastination isn’t so far off from how I actually operate.
Edit: This one is great too. The whole alot/a lot thing is one of my biggest grammatical pet peeves. http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html
For just one second, look at your life and see how perfect it is. Stop looking...
– Lev Grossman (The Magicians)

Okkervil River - “Wake and be fine”
In this font-heavy new video, the lyrics play as much a part as the music. The band really wants you to believe it when they say “Wake and be fine” and it’s a good message, especially for me right now as I sit in my bed contemplating the day.

Jonsi singing “Go Do” live
I saw him in Tokyo last summer and it was by far the most intense, magical and moving musical experience of my life. For his entire set I was transported to another realm and that’s not something this video can really replicate, but I still got chills watching it.
