okay, okay, i did fumble (a little). i didn't have a topic for today. but it's only because i'm on my grind heavy! promeso.
ramblings of the city's princess (according to AKiLLES) - i'm excited for halloween, not just because i'll be dressed to death tomorrow night, but i am picking my car up during the day. as some of you know, i was involved in an accident not too long ago (hydroplaned on a highway). it's tough being without a car, especially with my family living in a different state. but hopefully all that will change in the next few days!
also, i found my camera, which means a whole new lot of goodies for ya'll, and more picture-taking for me.
speaking of which, ladies, make sure you look your best tomorrow night! i will be taking photos and deciding on the best costumes in philly right here at the LilyBlog. i think i'll call it Lily's Sexy Six: Halloween Edition.
what do you think? ;-D
i recently realized how far away we are from summer. my brain's aghast - how did we go from this...
to this - and so quickly?
sighface. i found all my pictures and videos from my adventures this summer, so i'm in reminisce mode. one of my favorite slow, hot afternoons was spent walking the south street area checking out all the brazilian festividades that were taking place in august. my favorite was hanging out on the steps near the dance school and listening to xande cruz and the batukis band. and, i think there were caipirinhas served, if i'm not mistaken (which were really, really good!).
i've never seen a band where the lead singer also plays percussão. that is pretty dope. i ended up going online later that night and trying to find out more about them, especially videos...
it's hard to find one that doesn't sacrifice sound or sight, but either way, in every video i've found, everyone's having muito divertimento.
here's um vídeo i took that day. this little baby was killin' it! 'scuse the sound and sideways image. you know how cell phones are... smh...
i call her a pouca rainha da samba. ya'll better pick up these mini-portuguese lições i'm dropping on you (this means you, rashid!). i expect gifts on teacher appreciation day.
i'm definitely looking forward to the next time i can see xande and the band. i missed them when they performed at world cafe live. suuuuck!
it's about that time; muitos beijos, os meus amores. time for lily to return to earth and get back on her grind.
yesterday while doing a little cyber-footwork for the boss, i turned on the tube for a bit and came across a couple tom & jerry cartoons (from the fred quimby era, muitos beijos if you know who i mean). got me to thinking, what happened to all the old-style 2D cartoons we used to love from back in the day?
youtube happened to them.
remember this one? the little owl boy's name was Owl Jolson (a play on Al Jolson). there was a tad bit of controversy about this one for some reason, but i still love it, especially when the little owl makes that screwface while singing his parents' song.
call me a nerd, but when i was a little lily, i adored this cartoon. it's pretty abstract but teaches a good lesson, and is fun to watch. especially when the squiggle comes onscreen.
this is absolutely my favorite warner brothers' cartoon of all time. the musicianship and the timing of the animation are unparalleled by any other piece that came out in its time, and most hand-drawn pieces that come out now. i'm in awe of this one every time i see it; it's definitely one of my faves on youtube. and i know all the words, just like a good geek should!
this one just never ceases to make me laugh. tex avery cartoons make my day. and little red turns into a hot mama later! speaking of her...
i love little red's new york accent in this one. so funny.
little bit of wednesday treats for my sweets! catch ya'll tomorrow for throwback thursdays, when i clean out my photos and vids. beijos!
