I barely survived The Seventies and Disco the first time around. But for all you young whippersnappers out there.. here’s but a taste of “the good old days” … (Yep, that’s me and Roberto — well, our heads anyway!)

P.S. It takes forever to load unless you are on broadband, but it’s worth it, trust me!

P.P.S. Stolen shamelessly from my buddy, Laura!

Yeah, I do. I miss you. The rain makes it worse, it seems. So what do I do now? The rain hasn’t stopped all evening. The tears are right on the edge. I excuse myself and go hop in the shower. And there I stand, crying still more tears while the warm water cascades all around me. I cried, hiccupped and choked down shower water until there wasn’t a single tear left.

Despite all that .. I don’t feel any better yet. Maybe the morning will bring sunshine.

This YouTube.com video — an artistic video to accompany Blink 182’s runaway hit “Miss You” — seems apropros now.

Fluffy Bunny has found a Celebrity Look-Alike engine where you upload a favorite photo and the engine finds celebrities it thinks you look like. It did a pretty fair job with Fluffy, as I can see some resemblances. It failed miserably with my own photo.

I have my own ideas (based mostly on what other people have told me) about who I look like. And you just know not only am I gonna tell you, but I’m gonna show you too!

And above, from left to right, Diane Schuur, Helena Bonham Carter, yours truly, Suzi Quattro, Ann Wilson, and Roseanne Barr.

But I’ll go you one better. I’ve got some ideas about other Opera bloggers and their own long-lost twins. But that’s a blog for another day.

I haven’t done a Sunday Sixpack in awhile so here’s a taste of some great
music from all over the world. In order, (1) Los Ninos de la Sara (France); (2) Jakob Sveistrup (Denmark); (3) Prljavo Kazaliste (Croatia); (4) Haris Alexiou (Greece); (5) Juan Luis Guerra (Dominican Republic); and (6) Jarabe de Palo (Spain). Enjoy.

And my all time favorite song in the whole wide world (thanks and much love to SF for turning me on to this great musician!). Even if you don’t understand the words, you can’t help but feel the emotion … and I’ve been listening to this song pretty much daily for half a year and the video .. I just now saw for the first time. It fits the imagery that was in my head to a “T”!

Enjoy!

Artist: Gibonni
Album: Mirakul
