So I took the book I'm currently reading, "The Disney Version", by Richard Schickel - which btw I'm not sure if I enjoy the reading or not yet - and here's page 123:
"As early as 1925 he had made a little short in which a cartoon character semeed to conduct a theater's live orchestra from the screen. He also had toyed with the notion of supplying musical cue sheets to theater musicians so his silent shorts could be properly accompanied. There was also, perhaps, that vaguely defined, yet keenly felt, lust for the 'the finer things' that was so common among people of his lumpen bourgeoisie background."
I have to tag five people, so I tag my friends Maebius, Aileni, Margy, Michele and Blue. But anyone is free to try it! Just let me know you joined!
It's all about Nature. They are commited to always develop products that are not bad to the enviroment, don't test them on animals, and have society programs to call attention to the Earth's preservation.
Their products are high quality ones and truly reliable. I love their Poliplant Shampoo and Conditioner for Normal Hair (mine, duh...) with Gingko Biloba / Henna in the composition.It's really like a diary treatment and my hair is always shining and with a soft perfume.Now that I'm almost 40 (next June!!!), I started taking care of my skin more seriously - I just want to be a nice old lady with a healthy skin... So two years ago I started using their Chronos 30+ face line. I'm the kind of person who hates spending time in front of the mirror (that's why I only wear lipstick as makeup!), so I had to discipline myself to the big 3s: cleaning, toning up and moisturizing. It was worthy: I did felt a difference in my skin. So now I'm a big Natura fan and even if I'm exhausted (not hard with my little rocket at home!), I never go to sleep without using their products.

It was an indoor party, because the weather outside was chilli and windy but the all the kids had fun and Lucas got exhausted after all the play!
The day after, he decided creating a song called "Garage", and asked Rodrigo to put the music in it. It was really fun watching dad patiently writting down the lyrics about a car that went to save another and decided to jump into a lake and then go into a garage, followed by another one and start all over again (there were about five or six cars in the song...), and then fitting the lyrics to the music:
"This is a cute little book, 152 pages that will easily fit in a purse. It has a few basics plus some great stuff for traveling (spell for battling road rage, protection spell), for vacations (beach spell, sunrise spell), everyday magical acts (morning sex, coffe ritual) and how to create a portable spell kit with an empty Altoids tin, post-it notes and birthday candles".
All you have to do is to leave a comment in her blog until July, 16th, and his son will be picking up a winner! She's got a list of books to give away, one at a time, so don't miss the chance. I'll not, for sure!
Blue launched this cool meme, Favourite Things Thursday, and of course I had to join. I love memes, and this is a sweet one.
Rules: The subject can be anything - person, animal, inanimate object. It can just be photo's, or written words or preferably both, explaining your chosen Favourite. All Blue asks is that you leave her a comment to say you're participating.
So here I was thinking about my endless fav things... I'll start with an easy one, Reading. This is one of my favorite things in the world. I love reading since my early childhood. When I learned how to read, I never stopped. And from my childhood is a Brazilian author, Monteiro Lobato, who is absolutely adored and respected here, and who wrote wonderful stories about two cousins who spend holidays at their grandma's farm. It's called "Yellow Woodpecker Ranch", where everything imaginable happens, in the company of a living doll called Emilia and a wise corn dummy, Visconde de Sabugosa. Lobato explored the Brazilian folklore like no one else did, and introduced me to a vast and beautiful world of wise words and incredible adventures, in a time Internet and cable TV were something light-years away from reality. You can't imagine the impact this serie of books had in my life as a kid, as well as in thousands of other kids' lives.
In the 70's there was a TV serie absolutely fairly-based on the books, with a high quality and perfect cast, and I would never miss an episode! The theme song by Gilberto Gil, echoes on my mind as I type this... I have almost almost the complete collection, and we are going to have a break from Harry Potter once I finish the second book, so I will start reading them to Lucas. Can't wait!! :0)
