Yes. It is the year of the eye of the tiger; better late than never. I defy you to find anything, anywhere, as awesome as the power of this video of Jensen Ackles lip-synching to that great Eighties classic, Eye of the Tiger.
You can skip to about 3:40 to avoid all the blahblah
Lyrics, in case you should want to synch or swim along:
Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
Chorus:
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the cream of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds ’til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
chorus
Risin’ up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
Hang on to your Elder Signs: it’s The Casting Call of Cthulhu, the eldritchiest ten-minute comedy short you’ve ever seen. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll fear for your very sanity! But if you read this blog regularly, I’m sure you’re used to that.
I bought some of the most interesting tea from Ten Ren the other day: lychee ball jasmine tea. I didn’t even know lychees had balls, let alone such big ones! And it’s beautifully Cthulhoid once it’s been steeped. The damn tentacles even writhe as if in pain! It’s like watching Jacques Cousteau’s Adventures in R’lyeh right there in your teapot.
