This Week in YouTube

Hello, Gasmii! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving. And if you ventured out on Black Friday or Shop Small Saturday that you managed to remember that it’s Get Liquored Up Sunday! But in case you didn’t, this week’s theme is Shiny! Pretty! Sparkly! to help you decompress from all the family festivities and full-contact shopping.

First, probably my favoritest pop song in the world ever and the man responsible for my lifelong crush on every hipster cute nerd I’ve ever met – Whenever You’re on My Mind, by Marshall Crenshaw. Try not to be happy watfching this video, and not just because of the bitchin’ 80s style.

Seriously, he’s still objectively hella cute, even in those jeans.

Bringing it down a little, because I’m Balkan and there’s nothing more beautiful than isolation and melancholy, here’s a genuinely, weirdly touching video from Malcolm Sutherland. (Thanks to vimeo for this one.)

So sad, so lovely…the feels.

As a palate cleanser, here are some happy, dancing flowers. (Vimeo isn’t all beautiful little artful shorts.)

Bracing.

Just for kicks, here’s Eddie Izzard’s Death Star Canteen routine as interpreted in Lego.

“I can kill you with a single thought.” “Well you’lll still need a tray.” Heh. The classics never get old.

And last, but not least, sit down, snuggle up with your favorite adult beverage and enjoy watching Luna the Russian Blue experience snow for the first time. Because it wouldn’t be a week in YouTube without a cat.

Ahhh.
