Besos y Lagrimas

The new episode of SNL featured the third installment in the Latin soap opera spoof "Besos y Lagrimas" with JLo (the first was with Antonio and the second was with Christina Aguilera). You can watch it on the Global website here), it's funny because it's true!

I had to put it up because little cp is feeling super nostalgic. And now how about a clip from the 1981 Chilean telenovela La Madrasta (click to view), which features a priest and a woman in a silk robe having a discussion with a man with a mustache. By contrast, here is a clip from the recent Chilean telenovela Cuenta Conmigo (please note the disturbing lack of mustaches):

p.s. both of these shows are produced and shown by Canal 13 in Chile
p.p.s. Our hearts and thoughts go out to our Chilean friends during this difficult quake time. We are so thankful that our loved ones are safe and hope for the best for everyone in little cp's adopted country!

Superbowl Commercials 2010

Also, the makers of commercials don't care where you see it as long as you see it so the SB XLIV commercials are easy to find. There were a few pretty hilarious ones but my fave was this one with Alec Balwin for hulu. Other people will tell you it was the Betty White Snickers add that was the funniest (and it was pretty funny) but nope it was this one. Delightful!


But a very close second was of course this one with The Simpsons for Coke:

p.p.s. Also, it was a feel good story that New Orleans won even though they weren't KWs pick.

Meep in the Wind

Also a little Habanera (from Car-meep) for little CP:

p.s. Habanera is a form of Cuban dance music (popular in the 19th C) following this basic rhythm, which is considered the simplest and most commonly heard of latin rhythms (Boom...ba-bop-bop):

He's Aware of Us!

Rick Mercer (yes THE Rick Mercer) came to good old adrenaline loving Rossland for the Rossland Winter Carnival (113 years young!). Watch the episode on the Mercer Report YouTube channel here. He caught the Olympic torch running through town while he was there too! What jolly fun! Word on the street is he had a false start while attempting the bobsled (but they didn't show that on the episode).
