Can you sing?

Puffy Dream

Ever wondered why the Bad Boy, as he calls himself, signed an all-teenage-girls band on the spot?

Probably not…

Could it be they can actually sing?

Nah…

I didn't know who (or what) they were until a few days ago when someone mentioned the teen-pop band on some TV entertainment show. Not surprising considering I had never heard of Puffy until I saw the Godzilla clip for his version of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir.

Dancing Princesses… I kid U not…

Can You Sing?

Talking about people who can belch a tune… There's the new Latino dynamic duo. Well… She can and he's trying. ;-)

Vicki thinks they make a cute couple…

Which bring us to people who can sing and look good doing it. Even the song's writer is a looker… and… oh!… surprise!… has been known to carry a tune or two.

Can I sing, you ask?

Unfortunately, no. I ain't tone-deaf… yet… ;)

I'm Over It

We went to see Get Over It, yesterday. We originally wanted to see 15 Minutes but the mood and timing weren't quite right. We would have had to wait too long for the next show. In retrospect, maybe we should have.

Get Over It, is no Bring It On. The trailer made it sound a lot funnier than it actually is.

I have to admit that I do like Kristen Dunst. She's quite refreshing. She just couldn't carry it all on her own, especially when considering that Ben Foster (Vicki says he reminds her of Screech from Saved By The Bell) had much more screen time than she did.

The soundtrack (slated to be released on the 13th) features Vitamin C and Sisqo. Both of them actually appear in the movie. Vitamin C performs a great cover of Captain & Tenille's Love Will Keep Us Together in the opening sequence. Sisqo and Vitamin C also perform a not so great cover of Earth, Wind and Fire's September at the end of the movie.

And in case you actually wondered… Sisqo can't act. But then again I can't take much of his singing or dancing either. ;)

Multimedia Mood

In case you haven't noticed I'm in a multimedia mood as of late.

Let there be light, and there was light…

Dido's Rap

Thank You, Stanley

Let there be sound, and there was sound…

Eden's Crush

The popstars are getting over themselves.

Let there be drums, and there was drums…

I Need You

You'd figure I'd be tired of it by now… nope.

Let there be guitar, and there was guitar…

Born to Make Me Happy

She would have done it again if it had been released as a single in the U.S.

Let there be rock…

Know Your Role

Oh Hell Yeah…

B-Day

Yesterday was Vicki's birthday.

We went to the Outback for dinner with one of her sister, her younger brother, his wife and their 11-months old toddler. Fine dinning, great baby entertainment.

My birthday gift to Vicki was a flatbed scanner as I knew she had wanted one for a while. I already had given her an ergonomic keyboard as an early birthday present. I always try to alternate practical vs. cute/romantic gifts throughout the year.

After dinner we went back home to watch the final episode of Nikita. I liked this ending much better than the previous final one.

Coaster

On Saturday we had lunch at Red Robin's. My coaster had the following printed on it:

When the big hand gets on February
I'm turning 6!

Quinton, Age 5

It sounds funny and kind of appropriate when you think about it.
