What did we Google most in 2013? Google has produced a cool, rather moving video to show us, and remind us. If you're all for retrospect and nostalgia (as I am), you will love this.

This Australian ad has been banned from radio, but I can't imagine it ever getting a run on telly. Here is the ad - def Not Safe For Work (NSFW), at last count 1.2 million hits:
Says the YouTube description: "The ad was barred from the airwaves, but Four Seasons has promoted it elsewhere. "Have you seen our BANNED FROM TELEVISION commercial yet?" the company asks on its Facebook page. The video is a far better fit for the Internet anyway, and it's getting some action there. Watch below as a couple inquires about condoms in a pharmacy and tries on a few sizes of Four Seasons' Naked line in several positions while the store observes. Note the cheesy but appropriate pun from the pharmacist at the end. Tee-hee!"

Published just three days ago, this video has amassed over four million views on YouTube.
Uploaded by Gavin McInnes (the co-founder of Vice magazine) you can imagine why it's deemed controversial. I find it funny (and he appears to be substantially protecting the head when he goes the throw-down), until the pretend choking bit... juuust crossing that line a tad?
Gavin says in the YouTube clip description: "I could fight a baby all day. Know why? Because I know their weakness: WIND." Watch:

I adore anything Aussie, unscripted, comedic. This series ticks all the boxes. The series is from 'A Real Good Kid Production', directed by Dave Zwolenski, and created and produced by Matt Saraceni (@iamnotmatt) and Dave Zwolenski (@davezwol) Watch the very funny episode one below:
This YouTube clip - subtitled "Delivering bad news is hard to do... especially when you don't know what it is", is part of a series of this completely unscripted new comedy show that puts two people in the ultimate uncomfortable situation without any idea where it's going to go next - improvisation!
How good is Stuart Packham in episode 1? And Sophie Miller Chatfield, how you didn't throttle Stuart and/or fall about laughing at his fabulous dribble, I don't know. Matt answered some questions just for Josie's Juice about the series. "So the series came about because there's a bunch of comedians who have performed hundreds of hours in Melbourne comedy rooms and I wanted to showcase their (what I think are) amazing improvising skills to a bigger audience. It's also the first collaboration between me and my best mate Dave Z (Zwolenski) as "Real Good Kid Productions". We always talked about making something together, and we finally got our butts into gear and co-created "Written it Down". Here's Dave (centre) and Matt (right) below:
I also asked Matt which TV shows inspire them: "It's interesting to think about what TV shows inspire us - it would be remiss of us not to mention classic impro television like 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' or 'Thank God You're Here'. "However, the show grew from the idea that improv on TV doesn't have to be 'Slideshow', and that there is a hugely talented cast of comedians who can "make stuff up on the spot" who don't get to do that on TV because the networks all like a lot of "rules" so that their improv isn't too unpredictable! We just love the idea that from a single sentence our actors get the chance to invent an entire back-story, generate drama and be hilarious in which ever way their brains want!
"The dream would be to see the show live as interstitials on something like ABC2. This was a low budget version done out of a love of improvised comedy and passion the of the actors, but I'd love to see what it could do with some development cash behind it. We have the ideas, just need the production budget!
To watch the rest of the brilliant, very clever (did I mention it's Aussie!) series, click this way.

'Thor: The Dark World' star Tom Hiddleston visited Popcorn Taxi a few weeks ago for an exclusive one hour Q & A talking about life, acting, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Those cheeky funsters at Popcorn Taxi asked him to demonstrate how Owen Wilson would play Loki'. Here's his version:
How good is that impersonation. So good it's now at 1.9 million views.
Also: the man can dance!
At an appearnance in Korea recently, he did this:
How sexy is a man who can dance... really dance... and not that unattractive, always doomed 'drunk dancing.'
Watch this space for Tom's next hidden talent...

This is actually quite a beautiful mash-up: Miley Cyrus's new hit 'Wrecking Ball' mixed with Sinead O'Connor's 'Nothing Compares To You':
Having already received half a million hits since it was remixed by Robin Skouteris four days ago, watch this rise and rise... It's the kinda song that'd be hard to watch mid-break up, though...

A friend just posted this on Facebook: Laura Pausini and Kylie Minogue, and their new collaboration 'Limpido'. Ughhh, SO fantastic. Watch:
Isn't it fabulous pairing? The enduring Italian singer and the Aussie pop icon.
Laura Pausini - for me - will always be 1993, San Remo, my trip to Italy... and her first single 'Baci Che Si Rubano':
Which old songs take you right back, to a special time and place? Here are Laura and our Kylie together:

This Thai TV ad (scroll below for video) has had over 11 million views since its release less than two weeks ago. The three minute video, by phone company True Move H, starts with a young boy being chased out of a pharmacy by the owner, who has caught him stealing. She snatches the medicine he’s taken, and demands to know what he’s planning on doing with it. He says that he wants to give the medicine to his mother. A man from a nearby café comes over and calms everyone down by paying the pharmacy owner for the stolen medicine. He gives the boy the medicine and tells his daughter to fetch him some soup as well.
The clip jumps forward 30 years, with the man still operating the café. Suddenly, he collapses. Now in hospital, his daughter is hit with a huge medical bill.
What happens next may well have you in tears. Watch:

Best viral video. Watch as this guy re-discovers the hotness of his wife, post-op. The video has had over four million views, and counting:
Says Jason Mortensen, the man who was in a haze: "In response to all of the questions: I had a hernia repair to fix residual tears from a previous surgery. I wish I could remember this but I was definitely out of it. This was my fifth surgery within our six years of marriage and she's been by my side through all of it. In a previous surgery I suffered a severe complication and we didn't know if I'd ever function the same again. She is the love of my life.
Glad everyone is enjoying the video." Curious to see what Jason's wife looks like? Here she is...

So I accomplished lots this weekend, minus sundance stalking. Another day.. I DID go to the bridal show though and got a pretty cool bride sticker to wear..
LEGIT.
Here I am with my awesome Bridal Show goodie bag. Which included a bunch of crap I don't want AND a certificate for a 3 day 2 night stay somewhere awesome. (Well deserved after waiting in line for 2 hours. Alone.) I get to choose from 22 different places including Mexico, Hawaii, California and many more. Yay for me and Spencer!
(I officially finished addresing envelopes and putting together all of the invites for the wedding. It's early, but now I don't have to do it in a month. I'm so glad I have stayed on top of everything!)
As everyone knows, it freakin snowed. And if you know me at all, you know I was not very happy about it. But I was nice, and helped my dad and Jeff shovel the driveway. I documented because it probably won't happen again soon after I got roped into shoveling the neighbors driveways as well. Spencer's response to me shoveling was, "you can do manual labor?!" ...reaaallll funny.
Forgive the crappy quality of these pictures- it was dark outisde and I used my phone.
For those of you who know my dad, he is a master with the snow blower. Pro status.
This is me shoveling the steps.
I will admit I was pretty excited to wear my pink snow boots. Let's be honest- snow boots don't get much cooler than these..
For anyone that hasn't seen this youtube video of some of the idiots driving in the snow this weekend in Bountiful, here it is...
Happy Monday!

Alooooha Sorry for all my wayward glances in your non-direction, internet. There have been many balls aloft and I naturally was waiting for the rotten tomatos to rain upon me before I mentioned them. More about that just after a short message from our friends at 20sb:
This video post is part of 20SB’s Vlog Day and the topic is “Introduce Yourself”…anyone can participate! Details are here."
Ok, that was me. But if you're a blogger and you're looking to get more looks and you're looking to make more cool online friends, *sucks the spit from retainer* then you really should be on 20sb.
My next post will be the KROD but I promise a full disclosure after that. There is much to say. As the Dude would put it, "Lots of ins, lots of out...lots of what have yous." There may even be some photographic evidence!

Dear America, Have you ever found yourself throwing up your hands and yellin, "Screw this gene pool, I'm movin to Canada!" ? Well good luck. Its fucking hard moving to anywhere east of obvious. (or west of it, for that matter.) Now, I'm a lady of letters, but I know when I'm out classed. I therefore acquiesces to the giants in the field, ninja what they know, and know how to say it better. (Most humbly) The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy had this to say about France, inoffensif, la plupart du temps. But when I quarried encyclopedia intergalatica on the matter of immigration it had THIS to say. So fuvk them, I asked Jeeves Which led to this:
If you are an American and plan to visit for 90 days or more for any reason, you need a visa. If you plan to work, even if it's just for a month, you need one. If you are a journalist on assignment in France or hold a diplomatic passport, no matter the length of your visit, you need one.
Now you might not know this about me but I graduated both college and high school thanks to my dear friend, the loophole. I also hardly plan things, trusting instead that the Force will be with me. So why stop at schooling? Papers? We don't need no stinkin papers. What is this AZ? And yet, America the list of requirements go on and on!
To apply, be sure you have the following:
Passport signed and valid 3 months after the last day of stay.
Four long stay visa application forms by applicant signed and legibly filled out. Print in black. Indicate your phone numbers and e-mail.
At least five recent passport size photographs (4 glued on the forms).
A proof of resident status in the country where you are applying.
A proof of employment in the country where you are applying
Financial guarantee such as:
Letter from your bank showing that you have sufficient means of support to live in France.
Justification of retirement pensions or regular incomes
A notarized declaration of your sponsor stating that he/she will be responsible for all your expenses and a proof of his/her financial means. (+ 3 copies).
Proof of medical insurance with coverage valid in France (+ 3 copies). Letter from the insurance compagny only.
A non-criminal record certificate to be obtained at the police's office of the city of residence (+ 3 copies). I would recommend obtaining this record as early as possible, since some police stations take a few weeks to issue the record.
A note, dated and signed by the applicant, stating that he/she does not intend to have in France a paid professional activity which requires a work permit.
For the spouse of a French citizen, the "livret de famille" or a copy of the French marriage license, or the official French transcript of the marriage license when the marriage took place out of France. The French citizen must prove his/her nationality. Note that an American citizen spouse of a French citizen wishing to live in France does not need a visa. He or she must apply directly for a residency card once in France (with the "livret de famille").
Processing fee: payment by credit card (Visa, Mastercard) (especially for files sent by mail) or money-order made out to "Consulate general of France" or certified checks. Cash is accepted only if you apply in person. No personal checks.
I can haz a jackpot?
So that's it. Get married to a French citizen. Preferably one whom looks great in glasses, is a classically trained pianist, puts neo-cons in there place, loves reading to me in bed and knows how to kick it to me horizontally. ( Eat your heart out, Shakespeare.)
Settled: we're getting hitched. I won't say where or when cuz I can't invite you all. Yer not pokemon! But it will be before we move to France. Thankfully all roads lead to Rome, cuz there are still way too many balls up in the air to call the game just yetski. I'll explain what I mean, once I know what I mean. All that about 20/20 and lookin past yer ass. Instead, content yourself with this short vid I shot on my cannon g 10 on Sebastien's birthday.
I can't help it, America. Sometimes all the ducks are in a row. (and then I cook other tasty things in their fat) I less than three this man-o-mine. I've never really loved anything besides music before this, maybe writing. But those are just arms on my octopus, extensions of my self. Oh, sure I've lusted after the best of them. But I don't expect another glove to trust my hand so well. And I know I won't trust my hand to another glove.
I hope you mutha truckahs are clickin these links. They sometimes take me several minutes to steal.
Forgive me, they were so sweet, and so cold.
-Quoth the server, 404.
