A Game of Chairs

Since the fifth season of Game of Thrones has started and I eagerly watched it tonight, I thought about uploading here the parody from Sesame Street. It is very funny, surprisingly very accurate, but also more surprisingly (given that it is a children's program) makes not so subtle allusions to very grim and bloody events of the show. It can be enjoyed for people who never watched the show or read the books, but it is even funnier for the initiate, because of these allusions. I often find children's educational programs as stupid as they are unfunny for adults. Not this one, at least not this time.

Turn the world around

I don't want to seem like I am getting obsessed by Harry Belafonte, although I probably am. As I mentioned before, I am into summery/exotic/tropical music these days. I listen to this song on my iPod every evening I do the washing up, the sunset in my face gives it a particular feel. It turns dishwashing into a totally different experience. Well, not quite, but it is still really nice to listen to. Yes, this version got the Muppets in it, but I like the Muppets from time to time and recently I learned to appreciate them even more (more on that another day).
