I Was Walking Down the Street...

Years ago back in the roaring 90's there was once a band named Cibo Matto.  This band was amazing with the talents of two Japanese American women, Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori.  They even had the musical talents of Sean Lennon in their band.  They made sweet sweet music that resonated through the ears of many.

Years ago in the late 90's I discovered a band called Cibo Matto as they played one of their songs entitled, 'Sugar Water' on a favorite TV show of mine. (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)  I acquired all their music possible.  My love for them has never faltered like it has with other music talents.  Cibo Matto has been the go to music for every moment in my life and when nothing else fits my mood I return to them.

Unfortunately the band has since dissolved (I hope it resolves in the near future) and all I am left with is the albums of past and their individual projects.  *heavy sigh....  I'm using today to once again introduce you fellow readers to more bodacious music.

(Due to the evils at Warner Brothers Records I can't embedded two of my favorite videos/songs of theirs on my blog. Thus I present you with two links in order of importance to me...)

#1.  'Sugar Water' - http://youtu.be/EN9auBn6Jys
(*Sugar Water will more than likely be a them song at my wedding reception when and if that ever happens, sorry future other half)


#2.  'Know Your Chicken' - http://youtu.be/COMWwwv_MTk

Yes it's true they are amazing and crazy and weird.  Just like me :)

My Inner Nerdy-ness, Welcome to the World

I've discovered that my creative juices don't flow right away when it comes to retouching photos.  I have to at least wait a few days before I can dive right into it.  When I do though, watch out!  The mouse goes a moving and I go a'croping.  So I have decided to take another "blog time break."  

Whilst I edit I like to have background noise on be it my iTunes play list or a movie, just something.  Well I wont lie I have a guilty pleasure show, heck it aint guilty I love it and don't care what y'all out there think.  Buffy the Vampire Slayer, possibly the wittiest, cleverest television show ever.  Yup that is what I am watching right now.  Yes it is true I own the complete series and enjoy it from time to time.  

I mean we all have those movies or shows we could watch all the time and never get tired of them, well this is mine.  Laugh all you want it doesn't harm me.  I had such a crush on Willow, but then she turned gay and then I said never mind, but that is a different story best for another time.

Let's take a trip into the plot of two of my favorite episodes, both of which happen to be found in season 3.  'Dead Mans Party,' and 'Earshot.'  One hand we have the pains of growing up and dealing with out consequences from the actions we take, along with the pains that we all struggle with through growing up and understanding how we are ALL struggling.  Then the other hand you throw in the mix of zombies and the ability to read minds due to the ingesting of demon blood.  All these make for a good time and TV worth watching.  Here is a little Gawdun pop culture knowledge, in my senior year in high school we had to complete and present 20 minute presentations dealing with symbolism or irony in my English class.  Thanks to my cunning understanding of the difference in media and real world I was able to pull off a passing grade in the class and not even miss a beat of the heart.  

I guess what I am trying to say in this enjoy it and love it, this show has given society much to talk about.  And if not the case for all, Willow would say,  "it's good.  It's rather wolfie, it sooths the savage beast."
