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!

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!

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... ;)
Later!
