Even though this is basically the same Vox hunt as on March 12, 2007, I love this photo so here it is again:
Video: Share a video that makes you laugh every time you watch it.
Book: Show us a book that has helped or inspired your writing.
I will start this with a caveat: other than this book, I haven't read anything by Stephen King. I know, I know. It's kind of crazy. I do have the Stand sitting on my shelf, just waiting to be read. But...it's big and probably scary. So I keep grabbing other things to read instead.
Anyway, I got my copy of On Writing at Strand ("Eighteen Miles of Books") in New York City when I was there a few years ago. The book is half writing manual and half autobiography. It's full of revelations about his life (including the car accident that almost took his life in 1999) and his books and it's absolutely fascinating. He also gives the writer a toolbox of tips and writes of his disdain for adverbs. It's helpful and interesting at the same time. Highly recommended!
(note: my edition has flowers on the front. FLOWERS. Not exactly Stephen Kingish, if I do say so myself.)
(another note: I swear I saw Stephen King in a restaurant in Boston. It probably wasn't him, but how many people look like Stephen King? One. Stephen King.)
(another note still: I just noticed that the title Vox gave this post is "On Writing," the same as my answer to this question.)
(and one more note: I loved the Harry Potter movie. Stephen King loves the Harry Potter series as well.)
Show us what the weekend has in store for you.
Show us what Father's Day means.
Being a photographer and all, my dad is rarely in front of the camera. So here are some of his photos. I like to think he shows as much in these photos as the subject.

Love you too much, Dad! Happy Father's Day!
Book: What book would you like to see made into a movie?

Easy. I have two:
And:
Audio: Share an album or song in your collection with a really strange title.
So I'm not actually going to post video, since I'm sort of technically challenged (if anyone wanted to tell me how to do it, that'd be great). So photos it is! [edit:] I just finished this list and decided I am a TV show whore. I hadn't realized how many series I owned!
VideoPhoto: Show us a TV series you own or watched on DVD.
I only own the first season, but I do find this show, especially the early seasons, to be highly underrated.
This show ROCKS. If you like quirky TV, treat yourself to the whole series -- it's only 14 episodes, but it wraps up perfectly in the end!
This is the only crime-based show I own. I like it. It's light hearted and it's usually not too heavy on the gore. I have both seasons one and two.
Show us your favorite sunset picture.

I took this one afternoon as the sun was setting over Fenway Park. It was stunning. Baseball and sunsets ROCK.
