Song of the Day: A-Moe "Mom is Home"

Song of the Day: Mom Is Home by A-Moe

Todays song of the day is from Norwegian bubblegum-dance group A-Moe.
A-Moe was more or less a one hit wonder in 2003 with this song, but they have also released a CD called Beauty and the Beast in 2005.

The reason why I've chosen this song as my song of the day is because I was going through some old CD's while driving and it came on.
I would like to dedicate the song to my friend Anneli, because no song reminds me more of her then this one. It's from the days when me and Anneli would drive round town, making the streets of Lakselv unsafe. And she would secretly put a specific CD in the CD-player of my car, and they yell out "You're the man" before the song would start. Meaning I had to sing the male part of this song. I gotta say I miss those days. Anneli, you are, and always will be the best singing partner a wolf could ask for . hahaha :)

Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday my Dear Ian!

I hope you have a great birthday,
and I want to wish you the best for your special day and the year to come.

Here's a poem i felt suited the situation

~~~~~~~~

Your Zoo

A birthday should always be a joyous occasion,
Family and friends; obvious invasion.
Duplicate gifts, you don’t even like,
If you complain, might get a strike.

One simple day, placed on display,
Carefully observed, for signs of decay.
Dishonest smiles, they don’t mingle in truth,
As if you were the only, losing your youth.

At such a wise age, everything seems so clear,
Excuse to celebrate, they all came for beer.
Deep down inside, you know that they care,
Your Zoo is unique, normal is rare.

~~~~~~~~

Lots of love

Lill

The Transformer Owl

The Transformer Owl

The Southern White-faced Owl (Ptilopsis granti) is without a doubt the most amazing owl ever.
It's native to the southern half of Africa, and quite small with its 22-28 cm's and only 184-220 grams.
The special thing about this amazing owl is its ability to modify its appareance when it feels threatened.
It can enlarge its body, puffing it up to look double it size to ward off slightly bigger owls or enemies,
or it can make itself appear shrivelled to camouflage itself as a tree trunk or branch.
This is, the Transformer Owl!

The Southern White-faced Owl in its normal appearance

In it's shriveled state

As you can see it's not a very big owl

It's in Japanese, but it doesn't matter, just watch and enjoy.

Song of the Day: Don't stop Believing

Song of the day:
Don't Stop Believeing
By The Cast of Glee (originally performed by Yourney)



Unfortunately I could not find a good video for this song,
as Sony Entertainment apparently doesn't like Norway to view their products.
But anyways enjoy the song, I love it so much. Always makes me happy to sing.
I guess I'm kinda s sucker for musicals and choir song.

Review: Outsourced!

A little peek at Outsourced

Today I've started watching the new NBC sitcom "Outsorced" about american Todd Dempsey who is transferred to India to run a call-center for the Novalty company he works for.
I gotta admit I was really pleasently suprised by this show, seeing as the other shows I've seen lately have been more or less a waste of time. This show is a breath of fresh funny air.
The incredible culture clash between Todd and his workers makes for a new and intresting tone for the show, and I can truly say that it doesn't feel like it's just a new take on a show I've seen a houndred times before. Well done NBC.
So if you like laughing, this is definaltely worth having a look at!

If you're only gone watch one comedy show this year, Outsourced is it!
