Nearly Wordless Wednesday: It’s all downhill from here

Wordless Wednesday: Saxton Freymann’s Food Art

Music Monday: Maroon 5 & Smurfs

I heard this in town where I was having breakfast today and started toe-tapping just a few bars into it. Catchy as all get out, which is why I like it so much… as well as its Smurf version. The latest Smurf CD, loaded with their versions of recent hits, cost the best 10 euros I spent during our Christmas trip to Athens. I got it for my son and ended up enjoying it more myself – but I’ve been a Smurf fan for a quarter of a century now, and that won’t change any time soon, even though the latest dubbing of the series has got nothing on the classic, all-star 80s cast.

Proof of awesomeness coming up:
