For Christmas, watch these 9 glorious minutes of excitology. No one knows how to get as excited as George Bailey after a near death experience.

Revel 1

My Darlings,

Lots has been going on in my life. It’s all rather exciting. I’ll go into it more later. But to help refresh you with the excitement of life, I want to invite you to revel.

Revel in this:

Michael Jackson’s Captain EO to Return to Disneyland

Laugh at this:

The Onion’s Top 10 Stories of the Last 4.5 Billion Years

Cry at this:

Marvel at this and this (Magazine Reader Concept & New Model of the Universe Says Past Crystallizes Out of the Future).

Listen to this:

And remember that life is exciting.

Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody

I’ve been in a funk all day, and what do you know, the Muppets arrive and save my sanity. You really haven’t lived until you’ve watched this all the way through.

TRANSLATION: Let’s bone.

TO THE VIRGINS, TO MAKE MUCH OF TIME.
by Robert Herrick

GATHER ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying :
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he’s a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he’s to setting.

That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer ;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may go marry :
For having lost but once your prime
You may for ever tarry.

TRANSLATION: Let’s bone.

3 Podcast Episodes to Melt Your Brain

Mind Melters

Free brain wrinkles are great. It doesn’t happen often. Just ask my $150,000 bachelor’s degree (FML).

You could spend years sifting through hundreds of thousands of podcasts, or you take advantage of the work I’ve already done and listen to the following: 3 podcasts that will make you stop what you’re doing and listen with sheer vigor to the words being said. These are the 3 best podcast episodes I’ve ever heard.

First, we have Stephen Fry–actor, writer, comedian, author, Twitterer–an all around enthusiast of the first degree. And his podcast on language (yes, just general language) will make you practically clamber to use your tongue (for good, not evil). Fry is an almost superhuman wordsmith, with a love for the spoken word that will infect you, and you’ll want it to. Subscribe to his podcast, there’s a lot there, but this is one of the three best episodes of any spoken word I’ve heard.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Continued after the jump. (more…)
