I always wanted to go back to posting here, but alas, life got too busy. Now, I'm actually closing it down - in case someone was still hoping it would come back - as I'm off to South Africa, and the Internet there ain't what it is here. I won't be able to check out Youtube so much, which makes this blog a bit pointless...I had fun with it, but I can't keep it up anymore. I thank everyone who visited and checked it out, and hope you'll find some cool new blog to follow!
Bye!

Oh, just by the way...
Rebember when I talked about Glee like, 20 minutos ago? Well, here goes something that's related to that. I was looking for the video for the "big song" from the first episode, "Don't stop believing" (and seriously, you shoud listen to it), and I came across this guy doing this versiong of the song:
Then I found out he had actually done something even more impressive before, a Michael Jackson tribute Medley, and IT IS AMAZING:
Seriously, this guy is incredible. If you have the time, go to his his MySpace page and listen to other songs - or look for Sam Tsui on youtube - he has other videos of him singing. No, really, seriously. Do it.
Later!

I'm baaack!
After almost a month, I'm back. I'm thinking maybe I should set up certain days to update the blog, so I don't let so much time passwithout an update.
One of the main reasons I haven't updated is because most of the american shows that take up my time are either back or starting... two of my favorite show were canceled (I still cry for you, Sarah Connor and Pushing Daisies!!), but some of my other shows are back: Fringe, The Big bang Theory, Dollhouse and even Heroes - yes, I've decided to go back to watching heroes this season (I like being a dope, aparently). But mostly the problem is that I've stupidly decided to add 2 more to this lovely mix: Treu Blood (a vampire series), which has been going for 2 years, but that I only started watching now, and it's FABULOUS so far, and the brand-new Glee, which I'm pretty much obssessed about. I mean, there's no way not to get obssessed with a series that has this scene in it:
This is from episode 4, by the way, but try to get the other episodes - each has at least one amazing moment in it, trust me.I'll be posting other glee videos in the future, you can be sure...
Anyway, that's what has been happening. But I'm back and I hope not to go away for so long again!

Oh, and I almost forgot
This video is PRICELESS! I had tears in my eyes because I laughed so hard when I watched it. The Idea is: the song tells what is hapenning in the video, literaly.
There are A LOT of these videos on Youtube. Some of them are ok, like the one for You're beautiful by James Blunt, and the one for loosing my religion by REM, and some are just horrible, like the one for Smells like teen spirit by Nirvana or Bye, bye, bye by NSync (I didn't put the links because I don't want you to tell me that I made you waste your time, but you can search for them on Youtube - but I'm telling, they suck...). But the Total eclipse of the heart is the best one, for sure. This one is really good, too:
[Hahahaha - Rickroll!]
These are the "babies" of the original idea of making literal lyrics for crazy videos from the guys at Dustfilms. This was the first one of all:
Visit the official dustfilms site for the original literal videos. You will not be sorry!
Later!

Strawberry Swing
Anyone who knows me known that I'm a huge fan of stop motion, so it's no surprise that I absolutely LOVE the new coldplay Music video. I really like the song, but i LOVE the video:
Absolutely stunning!

A quick tip (2)
The lyrics site Vagalume has a relatively new feature which is meant to help people practice their listening skills by doing a "filling in the blanks" activity in songs in Portuguese, English and Spanish. It's called "Complete a letra". Aparently you can do this for any of the lyrics in the site - just look for the "Complete" option. It's pretty cool, you should check it out!

Sand Animation
I found this video a couple of weeks ago, from following someone's (don't remember who, but I think it might have been John Green's) tweeter link, but hat was when I was having horrible computer issues, so I didn't post it. Anyway, I think awesome isn't a strong enough word to describe it.
Isn't it amazing?

Good news!
Okay, so finally computer working 100% and connection 100%, too - what a rare combination! Which of course means that posting will go back to being regular, now.
Just not to break tradition, here goes a video (oh, how original). However, this is one I expect teachers and students of english will aprecciate more. Also, it's british, so what's not to like?
Hehehe! Look Up "Fawlty Towers" (the name of the show this was taken from) on Youtube for more British goodness. Actually, this show stared John Cleese, one of the Monty Python guys. Do yourself a favor and shearch for Monty Python on Youtube, too - too good, if british humor is your thing!
Later!
:)
Edit: I've just seen that the video was deleted. That's too bad. But they do have other Fawlty towers videos there - look it up!

Food on trouble
Ok, torture is not cool, but when it's done to food, it's kid of... deliciously cruel, I guess?
Look at this one, for example:
[This has been seen over 1,470,000 times, by the way!]
Or this one, whith a corn family:
[Hahaha!!]
or the newest one:
[by the way, the "cookie" they show at the end is a Smore, a marshmallow sandwich]
I know, I know, it's kind of sadistic, but aren't they ADORABLE?!?!?! I'd love to know how daneboe does that effect where he takes out the nose - it kakes them look sooo cute! And I hate to admit it, but I LOVE it when they all scream!! ROTFL*!!
Good thing thing you already know I'm weird!!
Later!
