The Friday Five: Elevator Joy Bomb
Yippee ki yi yay, it’s fabulous Friday!
Today’s gifs are also a movie recommendation (my sneaky way of adding a 6th piece of inspiration to The Friday Five). So, on our last date night, Mark took me to see Joss Whedon’s adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing. Now, don’t let the original text of ole Willy Shakespeare intimidate you or the fact that it was filmed in black-and-white. It is hilarious to a side-splitting degree, and the magical moments are a’ plenty. And you know it’s good Shakespeare when you know exactly what the actors are saying, even if you don’t understand every word. The story transcends all time and language, and that’s a testament to the actors and director (and the mighty Bard).
Oh, and get this: the film was shot in 12 days at Joss Whedon’s home in Santa Monica! So, yeah, it was pretty much an epic weekend retreat for the actors involved (most of them you’ll recognize from Whedon films). Two resounding thumbs up from me! Visit your local art houses and add it to your Netflix queue for when it’s released, my friends. {Here’s the trailer.}
And now, it’s time for another installment of…
The Friday Five
5 pieces of inspiration from internet-land. 5 words to describe them. Go!
1. Respect for Dustin Hoffman’s humility.
2. Ice cream fanatic for life.
3. Take to the sky d.i.y.
4. ‘Tis my kind of elevator.
5. Wifi password art for guests.
And that’s a wrap!
Want more inspiration?
Don’t forget to visit Thalita over at The Learner Observer for her Friday Five: {Tree} Stumped! Who’s Thalita? Only one of the awesomest gals you’ll ever meet. If you missed my introduction to our Friday Five collaboration last week, here it is.
Hope your weekend is mauvelous!
What a great post, fun idea! I was really hoping it was a link up, but I will just have to visit Thalita and hope that inspires me enough 🙂
You know what, Heather? There’s a chance The Friday Five might become a link up in the future, so stay tuned, my friend….
They should have awards shows just for elevator music.
I loved the elevator video, so fun and I wouldn’t mind singing along 🙂 ha!ha!
& ouh! me liking the password art; I should try it 🙂

I sense a graphic/word theme this week…so fun, and no surprise coming from you! Hope you are having a fabulous anniversary celebrating weekend!
Wifi password art is LEGIT!
That made me feel nice…..like sugar and spice. 🙂 Also, that Dustin Hoffman clip is so moving. My respect and love for him just went through the roof.
This is so fun! Love your Friday 5.
