Hearts of the Month: October 2012

Well now, it's been a long time since I've done one of these! This month I bring you one audiobook and a load of videos!

AUDIOBOOK - Is It Just Me by Miranda Hart

It's out now, and it is amazingly laugh out loud funny. I purchased it in hardcover AND audiobook format and while I love physical books, something about hearing audiobooks narrated by the author themselves is especially magical.

Here's Miranda reading the first paragraph.

 

VIDEO - Dads sing "Part of Your World" from THE LITTLE MERMAID

 

VIDEO - A Conversation With My 12 Year Old Self: 20th Anniversary Edition

 

VIDEO - Shake It Out: Choral Tribute to Florence and The Machine by the Capital Children's Choir

I think I've listened to this about a billion times and it brings me to the brink of tears EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

 

VIDEO - Drunk Jeff Goldblum Paypal Ad

A while back someone discovered that if you slow down Jeff Goldblum's voice it will always sound like he is drunk - check youtube for old Drunk Goldblum Apple commericals, they are amazing.
