“First Pals: What makes Dad so cool?” reads the ad’s copy. “He’s the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver - all rolled into one. Or two.”

There aren’t many TV ads I like, but this is one of them. Sometimes I wish ALL the bands did country & bluegrass covers of popular rock, metal, hiphop, etc songs. <3

My Top Ten Favourite Books
(alphabetical by author surname)The Stars My Destination - Alfred Bester
Ground-breaking and mind-blowing science fiction novel and probably the best thing on this list. It was written in the ’50s but it hasn’t aged a single day.The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett
Frances Hodgson Burnett is possibly the single finest classic children’s author and I will never not love this amazing and beautiful book.The Lost World - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
I know it’s imperialist nonsense and really NOT politically correct, but it’s also a rip-roaring adventure with brilliantly memorable characters.The Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett
Compulsively readable in spite of being HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of pages long, and absolutely delicious. Contains Prior Philip, who I <3.Double or Die - Charlie Higson
The third Young Bond novel, and genuinely one of the most gripping thrillers I’ve read. Also, Kelly is basically me in Young Bond Girl form.Fire and Hemlock - Diana Wynne Jones
A beautifully confusing and dreamlike novel from the finest writer I’ve ever had the pleasure to encounter. The gift that keeps on giving!Different Seasons - Stephen King
Stephen King is SUCH a better author than many give him credit for. I love pretty much all his books, but this is my number one favourite, responsible for spawing both The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me (both stunning films, both incredibly true to King’s original work).The Godfather - Mario Puzo
I don’t even know how many times I’ve read this book, but I love it. It sprawls almost like a non-fiction history tome and even the ridiculously plot-tangential bits faascinate me an absurd amount.Mortal Reeves - Philip Reeve
This series is AMAZING. Such an incredibly realised world, such compelling characters, and SUCH TEARS I HAVE SHED.Holes - Louis Sachar
A deliciously twisty turny tale of outsiders, cruel and unusual punishment, promises, and brilliance. I wish Louis Sachar would write more like this.- books

Video reblogged from Hark! A Vagrant:
You know, I’ve seen the fantastic “The Beatles: Rock Band” cinematic a few years ago from amazingly talented animator Robert Valley, but I’ve never seen this ending clip from the game. His style is just so darn.. stylish!!
And if you haven’t seen the original piece I mentioned:
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THESE BEFORE?
