a love that’s true (reprise)
a tribute to Slick Rick! I felt the need to record a cover of one of mi favorite songs of his “A Love That’s True”, just for fun. Sometimes other artists have the words that I just dont. The Chorus is original and sang by mi (though I cant sing). Original lyrics Here

mi favorite childhood books
i just got an itching to blog about this while reading a friendfeed link from fellow interweb inhabitant: Halcyon. mi mother would take mi to the library once a week when we (mi mom and i) were younger. the library was a small one located in our lil neighborhood of Tahoe Park, and has now become a liquor store (wha-???). anyhoo, here were some of mi faves that either ended up being purchased or re-read over and over…
Where Did I Come From By Peter Mayle, Arthur Robins
Illustrated by Arthur Robins, Paul Walter
when it was time to have the ol’ discussion about the boids and bees. ma thought it was better to bring home this book, have mi read it without interruption, then talk to her about it. this friggin book changed mi life!
Something Queer Is Going On By Elizabeth Levy
Jill and Gwen are two Sleuths who LoVe solving mysteries. After reading the 1st bookI had to read more! Gwen would tap her braces whenever she was in deep thought, and I LoVed how she would be illustrated with her finger to her teeth and the “tap tap tap tap”
I Had Trouble In Getting to Solla Sollew By Dr. Seuss
Boy, I would get so excited when Mom would read this to mi at night! THIS story was always a great one to mi because –to this very day– I can relate! A youngster is having all sorts of problems. So he decides to slide out to a place called Solla Sollew “on the banks of the beautiful River Wah-Hoo, Where they never have troubles. At least very few.“. But the trip there sucks! He gets bitten, lied to, survives a flood, and even goes to war! By the time he gets there…there is ONE last major trouble. The youngster just decides to grab a bat and deal with his problems! yee!

Omina Labs Grand Opening
Oh hell yesh! Saturday Oct, 11 2008 was the grand opening of Omina Labs (mi studio), and it was cracking! The hallway was crawling thick with local celebs, magazine staff, press, and even some of our parents! Every room in the building was blaring with tunes from various Omina clients, as the smell of BBQ from Sandra Dees filled the air. Art and pictures from artists were on display and up for sale, though I dont believe too many were sold. Still a sight to see.
Up on the roof, facing 16th street, performers rocked the crowd below. A host of artists; Blee, Flaws, Righteous Movement, Dezit Eaze, Npire and hella others – twas a scene reminiscent of A Tribe Called Quest’s “Check The Rhyme” video! An awesome collection of performances, indeed! From the roof, you could see the pigs roll by about every 10 minutes or so, but not once did they try to dowse our vibe. They just kept right on driving while break dancers up-rocked in the middle of the street!
Thank you to everyone who came through and celebrated with us! Special shout to Stimulate Photography, IBonTV.com, and SACMAG! =o)
pics to come later i guess..
