Χα χα! Τι θυμήθηκα...

I am not sure if  I've heard anything from the Portuguese music charts...so here it goes! This was #1 in the charts in Portugal this past week Portugal Até pensei que fosse minha by Antonio Zambujo Verdict: This song is probably good for a cold and snowy day, sitting by the fireplace. Other than that, for me, it doesn't really strike a cord (pun intended) ;-)

Motion picture innovations (along with the disco inpired uniforms), they had this thing that looked like a giant belt buckle.  Seems like a technology fannie-pack (in the American sense of the word) to me :) (original archive here)

With all the craziness happening in the world now, we need a few moments to laugh a bit.  So, from today's news, the department of transportation is apologizing for an error in highway signage: From the local news source (just in case the link goes dead in the future): MassDOT apologized to drivers, tourists, and locals Monday for the misprinted sign, which read “Cod Cape” instead

From the most recent GamerCat - I bet it tastes like chicken ;-)

Κάποιο άλλο τραγούδι μου είχε έρθει στον νού για αυτή την εβδομάδα, αλλά το ξέχασα (χα!).  Όπως ερχόμουν πίσω σπίτι σήμερα όμως θυμήθηκα ένα του Αλκαίου...

Στην 11η τάξη, ή δευτέρα λυκείου κατά τα ελληνικά δεδομένα, μετά από 2 χρόνια Γαλλικά, που ήταν υποχρεωτικά, αποφάσισα να συνεχίσω τις σπουδές μου σε αυτή την γλώσσα και να κάνω και ένα τρίτο έτος. Τις περασμένες χρονιές

Just like before, there seem to be a lot of English language tracks on the Norwegian charts. The top for this past week is as follows: The Weeknd by Starboy feat. Daft Punk Verdict: Not bad. I like the music video (visuals).  The song itself seems, to me anyway, as a good song to drive to.  That said, I am not sure I am crazy about the "hey! here I am! Look at me! I am the new kid

Ah yes...that long...long...long intro scene in the motion picture.  Good fanboyism in the day, but seriously - too long! (original archive here)
