summertime and the livin' is ... busy

Have you ever noticed that when you're busy you get things done, but when you have nothing scheduled, you loose the whole day to ... nothing? (And by nothing I mean, napping, surfing the 'net, reading strangers' blogs and the evils of facebook and youtube.)

Thought you might enjoy some of these reminders of the season.

Ella Fitzgerald - "Summertime"

Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff - "Summertime"

Mungo Jerry - "In the Summertime" (because I can't watch this without cracking up)

And just because I know that without this next one, your summer will wither up and die.
NKOTB - "Summertime" (I especially enjoy the last 30 seconds of the song. Oh Donnie, now I remember why I loved you, in all your open-shirted, ballcap matching-suited, arm-waving, center of the-boyband glory!)

$5 says those girls are to young to even know who they are "dancin' up ons"

"was that a ninja?

.... more like a non-ja.
Ridiculous what passes for a ninja these days."

Thank-you Speed Racer, you complete me.

If you haven't seen this movie, go now. It's a personal favourite.

who sings that song?

So, I can't seem to get this guy's music out of my head since I watched this video on someone else's blog a couple months ago. If it gets stuck in your head like it's stuck in mine - sorry (but not really).

By the way, if you drop by my house unexpectedly and hear this song blaring through my open windows - DO NOT, under any circumstances, peek in my windows. You will not like what you see. This song gives me an unquenchable need to shake m' thang. It's not pretty. Okay, in the interest of full disclosure... I sing along too. Loudly. Taylor frequently tugs on my shirt and gives me that look - you know, the one that asks "who sings this song? Justin Nozuka? why don't we let him sing it, okay?"

PS (I keep coming back to add things!) I love it when he sings about his "skills". Makes me laugh.
