"Sometimes I get bitter... about things..."
Sometimes it's the little things that make you happy. Like this. Other times it's dirigibles, which aren't as little. Here my brother Sam shows what an iphone is best used for.
Isn't he really all of us? He's Everypuppet. Also, considering I have yet to master the "making a phone call" app on my iphone, I'm really impressed by the work. And insomnia means I can take time to share it with all of you!
Avenging pretty much every waking second means the little things that move, thrill or comfort me are like a kid's precious bottle-cap collection: stored away in a little box, to be taken out and turned over in my palm, one by one. This year, there's been "Winter's Bone", seeing Garfunkle and Oates at Largo, tumbleweeds (they migrate!), my Muji writing pads, and this link. And Avenging. Good morning!

The puppet video was excellent (even silent - also at work, also no sound) but if there is an audio track then no-doubt it'll be equally of the awe (I suspect it'll probably have next week's lottery numbers or something, seeing the future seems like it'd be small potatoes to a Whedon brother. I.e. please someone tell me there's a brother who mainly sits around in his underwear for most of Saturday playing Call of Duty 2 and eating Hobnobs. Otherwise i'm in real danger of being inspired or something).
And "Winter's Bone", 'nother yep.

Joss, you will do another TV show, right?
The clip was fun, and certainly got my day off to a nice start.
Dana5140 | March 09, 06:15 CET
The little things that have thrilled or comforted me lately: a perfect cup of hot chocolate made from scratch, daffodils six inches tall, sunlight patterns on the wooden floor through slatted blinds (SUNLIGHT!), a dissecting explanation on the mechanics of walking, and the book "Drawn to Life."

Thanks for sharing a video that really spoke to me, my volume was up too loud and it took a minute to load so I went to turn off my heater and it really spoke to me. Thanks. It gets lonely sometimes, you've filled this evenings void.

So thank you Mr Whedon for once again saving the day!

Anyway, keep on Avenging, and be careful you dont get too close to a Hellmouth in Cleveland.

You, W-folk, make me very happy. Joss warmed my heart this morning, but I've been returning to the comments all day to affirm that there is one decent spot on the interwebs where rational, witty individuals think for themselves & share kindness. That is no small potatoes & some tasty ones at that! Thank you all!

Yeah, I'm not sure it's gonna work out with the Tomato, either. ; >
This short little video brought more joy to me than I can say. It's so sweet and funny and made so much out of so little. It's stuff like this that makes me re-remember how art can be made out of the stuff in your closet and a little tech - oh, yeah, and maybe the talent.
And good to see Jossir here, bringing us the Family Goodies. Out of insomnia can come great presents... (or in my case, endless flocks of Angry Birds.)
This was much-needed and much-enjoyed. Thankee.
Potatoes! Yay!
(BreathesStory - can't believe you remembered the QG-signal. I guess it really works - aided by gossi and b!X and Cab. It was a real mood-enhancer. ; > )

Sometimes I get bitter about things, too, like math or great TV shows that get canceled unfairly. But there are things that cheer me up, like my Mad Men wall calendar and chocolate.

Not that I'd be likely to be cast as Vietcong anyway mind you, but it's still a nice line.
That and "I'm gonna go sit in the corner and play my violin and... math!" are constant quotes here.
ETA: So I was finally awake enough to actually watch the video. Nice stuff! Makes me want to learn how to use the camcorder app on my phone.

Nice to see you Joss and LOVED the vid you shared.
I'm with everyone else who has asked....has everyone in your family cornered the market on all the talent in the world?
Sam is a pretty snazzy IPhone film maker!
Enjoy Avenging as I know we will enjoy The Avengers when it's our turn.
Thank you sir!

1. The Muppets have bought the rights to Doctor Horrible; and
2. Art Garfunkel will be voicing Muppet Doctor Horrible, with John Oates as Muppet Captain Hammer?
I can see that, although it wasn't quite what I was expecting.
Oh and the video's cute. Would like to see what Hank, Henry and 'Enri can do with Alice's Restaurant...

I hate it when I'm late for Purple Prose, but then the fact that there is Purple Prose at all makes up for that. Super cute video, Joss, thanks for the great distraction from my 10 page short story draft due tommorow, *looks at clock* I mean today. It also makes up for the fact that I cracked my MacBook Pro screen today, like an idiot.

Not to mention being essential in many necessary foods.
I think we may have solved the mystery of the WhedonBrother who hangs out in his underwear playing Mortal Kombat and ordering in (tomato-necessary!) pizzas -- I believe he is the shadowy Zed Whedon, mentioned in media some while back and immediately disclaimed by all who claim knowledge of the family.
