Friday Five

1. I love Brandon Uranowitz.  I love his personality and his talent. I even wrote about how much I love him (even though I'm a starstruck weirdo).  He's super talented and I think he's been my favorite discovery of this season.  So I was pretty happy when this video came out this week of him singing his 3 bucket list songs.  His Marriage Proposal is always fabulous, and I've never heard Parade before, so while that was lovely, I wasn't fascinated.  What I adored was his take on the song from Company.  He absolutely nailed it.  I have no idea how he sang it so well and so quickly.  I'd be tongue tied after the first few notes.  Amazing!  (If you just want to see that song, it starts about 2:30)
           

2. This is the best possible news!  I am hooked on Miranda.  It's about the funniest show I've ever seen, and it may have everything to do with the fact Miranda reminds me a lot of me - without the adorable Gary to fall in love with.  I'd love for it to come back.  I'd even take a 15 minute Children in Need special!

3. I don't tend to share a lot of the hometown love.  But this program in conjunction with the Orioles and BARCS, is truly awesome!  Teaching kids to read and promoting animal adoption - what's not to love!?

4. I love scrapbooking freebies - especially when they involve National Donut Day!  Speaking of, Happy National Donut Day.  If you're ever in Maryland and need the best donut ever, head over to the Donut Shack in Severna Park. So yummy!!!

5. I discovered the show The New Normal this week. I mean, I knew about it 5 years ago when it was on, but I finally started to watch it courtesy of iTunes this week and I loved it!  It's sweet and funny and the leads were amazing.  I can't believe it only lasted a season.  Based on the story line and the current times, it would be a perfect fit these days.  If you need something to binge and make you smile, I'd definitely recommend it!
