Pippilotta Comestibles Windowshade Curlymint Ephraimsdaughter Longstocking"?.jpg I’m not quite sure who this little girl is? I’m told that its Pippi Longstocking - but I refuse to believe that. I think its unfortunate that we have great characters, who’re for some inexplicable reason, remodeled and redesigned. I’m certain that along with different adaptations via different platforms, that eventually, somebody is going ignite a trend of rewriting original stories -as if the original needs to be updated, because people won’t understand it for lack of cell phones and hip hop. Pippi is a little girl who doesn’t need school, who posses super human strength, whose mother lives with the angel’s, and father who is the king of the cannibals - her best friends consist of neighborhood kids, a monkey and a horse. I forgot to mention that Pippi carries a gun, a cutlass, and wears clothes too big - Pippi is a swedish cosmic literary outlaw. The new Pippi looks as if she likes to shop, which is fitting for todays children, rather than inspiring adventure via esoteric children’s playing, the new Pippi is fashionable because fashion is what sells.

image Feeling nostalgic about the old pacman games? I used to play those on my dad’s PC many years ago - and I think was glued to the screen for hours… Just discovered this one - have old time fun!

 

Pacifier

image How long does it last? This one was only good for one minute! I have the same “pacifier” dilemma with Peter - just when I find one that seems to work, he figures it out and I have to think of something new:)

 

Turkey goodness

image These are not turkeys, and this is not for kids, but definitely for parents - roosters playing tennis plus highlights of the cellphone-sms-laptop geek culture. Enjoy!

 

Take me back to your house

image This would have been me if I didn’t move to US 9 years ago! I was amazed, actually, how accurate to detail this clip is - all the way till the bizarre end of driving home in a tank… Oh, did I forget to mention what the video is about? A lonely girl in Russia!!!

billysballoon.gifBilly’s balloon - never show this to your children! But you can watch it yourself - I have finally understood what this cartoon is about and why do I like it so much - it’s entrepreneurs in infancy!!! We all are now seeking a better future:)

 

Get in the car!

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

get-in-the-car.gifI guess since I am facing a vacation soon that involves driving in the car for hours with a toddler and a teenager in the back seat, this little animation feels very inspirational. I especially like the name - Get in the car! If you watch it carefully till the end, it might be called something like Get out of the car!!!

 

The joy of shaving

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

the-joy-of-shaving.gifSo it is Sunday morning, and there is finally enough time to shave in peace (I am trying to impersonate all the dads here). For those of you who hate shaving (as much as my husband does) - wouldn’t this be fantastic?
