Video Sunday: “Leave out that Oxford comma”
I had the pleasure of seeing just the most delightful show the other day. The Snow Queen’s run is ending, but you can at least enjoy this little number from it. It’s been caught in my head all week. I bestow that honor now upon you.
And the award for best set design in a book trailer goes to . . .
Mildly miffed that this trailer came out in February but that I only found it now, though.
And now the Weird Al video that shall outlive him thanks to English teachers around the world. They shall play it from now until the internet burns down to a dark, black piece of coal.

You know, I kept checking your Video Sundays earlier in the year, hoping you’d feature it. But I didn’t send it to you myself because that felt needy.
See now you’re giving me a swelled head. You need minions to pass along these things. For my part, I’m too unobservant to be relied upon to find the good stuff.
I saved Video Sunday for Monday night. Monday was grueling. Thanks, Adam and Elizabeth, for making me laugh at the end of my Monday.
