It's Carnival, Baby!

So I have been working (yay!) this year which means no food fair, no j'ouvert no late night parties.... well, there is the weekend!

This Saturday is the adult parade and fireworks. This means I can have my fireworks party at my art studio!!!!! Carnival is 60 this year and the parade is sure to be filled with fantastic costumes and fun dances. The fireworks promise to be spectacular as well. If you didn't know, I am fortunate to have rooftop access at my studio and I overlook the harbor: perfect fireworks vantage point. I may not have been able to do all the other fun Carnival things, but I will finish it with a bang. Food, friends, fireworks! What more could I ask for?

Drop Everything and Read! (D.E.A.R.)

In honor of yesterday's fun, I decided to look up what today celebrated. It turns out a few things are celebrated today, but the one that really caught my eye was D.E.A.R. Day. Drop Everything and Read Day is to remind us to spend time everyday reading as a family, or in my case, as a loner.

The date is also the birthday of beloved children's author, Beverly Cleary. This is because she wrote about a D.E.A.R experience (inspired by letters from young fans) in her book, Ramona Quimby, Age 8.

I love to read and, as shown in the picture, I am currently reading Dark Slayer by Christine Feehan. What are you reading now?

Barbershop Quartet Fun!

Today is officially Barbershop Quartet Day! In honor of this crazy holiday I will post three of my favorite barbershop style songs.

#3 is this scene in Music Man. Oh yeah, ice cream.

#2 is one guy doing his own four part for a cool version of Nickelback's "Rock Star" aptly done as "Barbershop Star."



And taking the NUMBER ONE spot is Bieber Barber Shop! For Lesbian Bieber look-alikes spoofing on the Bieber in four part harmony!



Happy harmonies!
