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!

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!!

Howcast
I showed you guys some of the videos from the Howcast YouTube channel in class (Remember the videos on how to remember people's names, how to tidy up in 3 minutes and how to look great in photos?) I hadn't thought about them in a while, but the fact is that they have A LOT of videos now - almost 1500! - and I thought their latest videos was really quite interesting (or at least, the subject is):
They really have something for everybody - I mean, the have almost 1500 videos! They tach you how to deal with some situations, how to prepare drinks and food, how to kiss with passion... no, really, they do! Go check it out!

Hi, there!
I'm sorry for taking so long to update, but now I'm having connection issues - just when my computer decided to satrt working, sort of! Anyway, just popping in to tell you I should take a bit longer to put things up, but I won't stop!
So, here's a video I watched the other day and made me laugh A LOT:
[and yes, it IS a joke!]
Also, anyone who knows me can tell I like stop motion videos, and this one is just fantastic - even if it gets a little disgusting at the end...
Finally, a series tip: Look up and, if possible, download "The IT crowd" and watch it! It's a British series about computer nerds, and it's FUNNY - well, in a British sort of way. Also, their accents alone are worth a listen!

Quick tips
Visit http://invisiblered.blogspot.com/. No really, do it, because it's really great. This person finds really cool info around the internet. It was there that I found the Help website (and do yourself a favor, visit the site - click on the link - and click on "Bored?", and then "Help I'm bored" You won't be sorry!!).
Also, that's where I saw this video:
Cool huh? Ok, I know it's in spanish, but you get the idea, right?

My favorite vloggers
Ok, so I'm always mentioning the vlogbrothers here, but there are other vloggers I really enjoy on youtube, some of which I have mentioned before. The ones I am mentioning here are all vloggers and videos podcasts I subscribe to, and they usually put up one or two videos a week. So BE CAREFUL, because following vloggers and youtube shows can be really time consuming!!
The list isn't in a preference order per se, but they are in the order I remembered them, which I guess must mean something... the links on the names will direct you to their user page, and I'l post a couple of video, too, why not?
Vlogbrothers - I'm not going to talk about how much I love these two brothers because I've said it too much already. They are real nerds (something which is obvoius when you talk about two guys who decide to communicate only through daily videos for a year, or by phone or personally, but never though e-mail, whuch is hard since they live REALLY far away from each other...) They are cool. And that's it. They are my favorite vloggers, a little bit ahead of...
Community Channel - Natalie is a cool Asian-Australian nerd girl. Her accent rocks, she's got this really weird sense of humour, and I love how she plays basically all the characters in her videos. One relativelly recent example:
... and another:
Okay, so I love her videos from the "Hi!" to the " porno music/comment time". Just go to her channel and have a good time.
Ray William Johnson - I discovered this guy from another youtuber, Michelle Phan, who does video make up tutorials (really cool ones, too) - he was the victim for a "makeup for guys" video. I showed one of his videos in class. I really like the format of his "show" and how he tends to be really nice about the weird people in the weird YouTube videos he comments (he actually tells people not to leave bad comments on the videos he comments, which is kinda sweet). He is also really short. AND he is friends with...
Meekakitty - She's pretty. And she has a really expessive face. And she's really, really weird (but in a great way). Look:
[exhibit 1]
[exhibit 2]
[exhibit 3]
Just sayin'!
Sxephil (aka* The Philip DeFranco Show) - I haven't followed this guy for a long time, but he's great. He takes the news and, and, as he proposes, makes it not so boring.
charlieissocoollike - this guys made a video a couple of years ago and people just adored him. this is the video:
Actually, a friend of mine told me to watch his videos along time ago, but only recently I started. I also found out he was part of a really cool project, the Five Awesome Guys (it's over, but it was cool. check it out), which was based on the Five Awesome Girls project (it's still kind of active, check it out [actually, one of the "guys" goes out with one of the "girls" now, it's really sweet]), which was, in turn, inspired by... the vlogbrothers. Isn't it wonderful? It's the Circle of Life! =P
What the buck - The first time I watched one of Michael Buckley's videos I had a headache after! He speaks incredibly fast - which means he's a challenge for you guys out there trying to improve your listening skills. He's very funny, very intellygent, and very gay (and I don't say this as an insult!). He's not a vlogger, really, his videos are actually little "shows". Go there!
Nigahiga - one of my friends LOVES this guy's videos, but I actually only really like his Movie in Minutes vides. Here's is Twilight:
... Harry Potter :
... and Titanic:
They are soo retarded, they're good!
Kevjumba - the only reason I remembered him last is because he hasn't posted any videos in a while - I think his last video was posted about two months ago. I posted a video of his here before, the girls are like M&Ms one, and I love the videos he makes with his dad in them. He's also a really nice guy - even Michael Buckley has said so, and he knows things! Okay, that's not the reason, the main reason is that he started a project to give out money to charity, the Jumbafund. Sweet guy all around.
Anyway, I think that's about it! And wow, was that a long post (it actually took me about 3 days to write). Hope you enjoy the videos and the links. Oh, and don't worry - not all of these people make videos every day, so I do get out of computerland sometime (or a lot of the time, now my computer decided to work when it wants to... ;)

Hearts a mess (as is my computer)
Sorry about not updating the page. My computer has been really unstable latelly - actually, I had written a whole post about three days ago on a text file and the whole thing froze and I lost everything I was writing, which, as you can imagine, got me a bit upset... anyway, I think it's ok now, and I'm just coming by to leave this music video, which I just watched and thought it was really weird/cool:
This is from a channel on youtube I signed up for a few weeks ago, called futureshorts. They have lots of really cool short films in this channel, but my favorite is definitely this one:
Hehehehehe!

Daft things
Ok, so I remember talking about these videos on the last class - the one in which we recorded the video - and decided to put the videos up in here. The first one is actually my favorite...
... but the second one is also really cool!
Just for the curios, I'll post here the original one, from the movie:
Also, I found the movie on Google videos. If you are a fan of eletronic music (or just of Daft Punk), anime or science fiction, you should like this at least a little. If you hate all these things, well, don't say that I didn't warn you! Oh, and if you do watch it, ignore the guy speaking japanese at the beginning and move on to the movie...

151 jokes
In honor of the fact that Hank Greeen of the Vlogbrothers posted another "50 jokes in 4 minutes" video, today, here are the three videos so far, which means there are 151 jokes in this post (because the 2nd video had 51 jokes in it). He talks REALLY fast, so this is a challenge to you out there to understand the jokes. I really love the fact that most of them are just these nice, clean, children's jokes, some of which are really, really funny. So, here they are, in the order they were posted:
Also, just because I want everyone to like the stuff the Vlogbrothers do, I suggest you go to the Truth or Fail channel. It's a quiz channel and there are currently 4 quizzes there: the first one, which is about general knowledge, one about English things, one about Harry Potter details and one about American writers. Go there, it's fun!!
