It’s Brit …. er, Jamie, bitch.

If you know me at all, you should know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Britney Spears. True Love for that girl! Her and the two Gwens can do no wrong in my eyes. Sure, she went through a hard time awhile ago. But doesn’t everyone have a hard time at one point in their life? If not more …..

So when browsing through one of my various news websites I saw the headline, “Jamie Lynn Spears Covers Britneys ‘ Oops… I Did It Again’ “. Well, that I just had to see. The younger Spears begins singing her own song “Ms. Mississippi” and after about two minutes, begins singing those classic lines, “Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.” And the lil sis isn’t too bad! Go Jamie Go Jamie. And she really does say, “It’s Jamie, bitch.”

For you to watch and for me to watch again and again and again. Yeah, I’m kinda nuts like that.

Cooky Puss

I know you all are dying to hear about my trip (yup, righhhht) but with the death of Adam Yauch (MCA) yesterday I feel I must express my love for the Beastie Boys. I know nothing will replace the trio, maybe the Beastie Boys will go on but it will never be the same without MCA.

I wore out my Licensed to Ill tape by playing it constantly in my Buick Electra in high school (and college), then bought it on CD and when that was ruined, I downloaded it and burned my own. I know EVERY SONG. No Sleep Til Winterpark was shoe-polished on the side of Linda’s parents van on our 1988 Spring Break trip. And I am sure that tape was blasting the entire drive from Oklahoma to Winterpark, CO. Plus the fact that we decided to mosh as much as possible but after waking up the next day with each of us having what felt like a case of whiplash we scrapped that idea.

I mentioned I know every song on Licensed to Ill, and I ain’t kidding. My personal best is Paul Revere but Brass Monkey and She’s Crafty are in close second. I still believe my boyfriend is quite impressed when I finish all the lyrics (even without it being on) to Paul Revere. It is either amazement or horror from him, haven’t figured out which is which yet.

Hey Ladies, So Wha’tcha Want, Pass The Mic, Intergalactic were my other favorites. But their last album, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, I really enjoyed. So I guess I have two great bookends from them, their first and their last album.

Rock on MCA, hope you and my cat are rapping it out up there.

When you are an American, living in Europe, sometimes it can be daunting to find a way of life to make some money. Everyone wants a job, or something to be, or something to do, or just something that helps them make things a bit easier. Well I have tried many different things and my latest try-out is selling t-shirt/bag/mug designs. Here is my latest, and I love it!

A Spray of Paint

I think street art is pretty cool. I’ve heard of Banksy and would love to stumble upon one of his creations one day. But unfortunately, he is the only one I have really heard about. That being said I still love taking pictures of great street art. I do not like the random spray paint of vulgar words, that does not street art make. No; my friends. But interesting pictures, either with spray paint or stencils or what have you, that is street art.

A bit of art for you from the lovely city of Palma de Mallorca and the Meat is Murder is from a graveyard of half built apartments in Ses Covetes.

TWO HUNDRED YO!

Welcome to my TWO HUNDREDTH POST! Amazing, truly amazing. There have been times when I thought about quitting, but I’m still here. I’M STILL HERE! I know I am not a daily blogger, not even usually a weekly blogger but I try to send something out in cyberspace a few times a month. And I would like to say a big THANK YEEEEWWW (with my Okie accent) to all my friends, family and you random stop-byers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for checking in from time to time. I really ‘preciate all of you.

While I have only been blogging for almost THREE (!) years, I have been in Europe/Mallorca for much longer. And when I stop to think about it – Felix and I are going to celebrate TEN years together – I am sometimes in shock at how fast the time flies. So many things have happened to me since meeting Felix, moving to Germany and then Mallorca. I have somewhat conquered German, still trying to conquer Spanish. And I am really hoping to do some amazing things this year. So watch out world!

I decided to post a few (or more than a few) of my favorite pics from these past years. Enjoy!

I think this is my favorite pic of Palma that I have taken. A quiet, narrow Palma street in the early morning hours.
El Mercado de San Miguel in Madrid is AMAZING!
Chorizo, Jamon Serrano, Vino Tinto ~ Oh My!
La Seu in Palma, the Cathedral that took almost 400 years to build. Gorgeous!
Felix and I have fallen in love with Cornwall.
Child dressed in typical Mallorquin costume for the Binissalem wine festival.
Lago Di Garda, Italy
Plaza Espana, Barcelona – LOVE Barcelona
My fabulous parents. Thanks Mom and Dad. And happy 46th anniversary today! ox
Felix (Love Him!) and me overlooking the island of Dragonera
These four adorable creatures came into my life seven years ago. And now I can’t imagine life without them.
