Since I'm not likely to post again for some time...
Starting with a CD review:
Juventude / Slow Motion Bossa Nova
by Celso Fonseca & Ronaldo Bastos
While not the usual sound out of Brasil, Celso Fonseca and Ronaldo Bastos combine Bossa Nova sounds and Samba romance to create a new type of Brasilian music. The slowed down Bossa is a mix between vocals and traditional bossa instruments that creates a romantic samba feel with a completely different tune. Most of the ablum is in Celso's native Brasilian, a naturally slow and rhythmic language, however; two of the songs are in English and the mix of Brasilian and English sounds creates an addictive melody that complements each otherhandsomely.
Recent highlights:
Jin Patisserie was amazing. Green tea with cake and scones was amazing and the opera cake was to die for. I plan to return.
Black spots.
Returned from Willow Springs International Raceway yesterday. Two days of performance driving instruction. Those were some great two days. I love my mini. Now it's time to get a CooperS.
My decency is in Chicago. Having fun I'm sure. I'll see her soon enough.
What's in store:
Tomorrow I'm off to Paris. Clothes shopping and Euro styling. I can't wait.
Yearbook grand finale the week I'm back. No more book stuff to do. I'm so happy.
The Clothing Situation:
Still in my car washing uniform: white singlet, rolled Express khakis, Cole Belt, Banana sandals. Looks like I went to the beach. I rather enjoy this outfit and I'm sure the summer will see more of it.
The Last Word:
I'll be on the prowl for that prom suit in Paris. Heaven save me.
