YOU MAY REMEMBER from a while back, a little post I wrote about the ever-adorable brother and sister team Tessa and LB from the blog Pacing the Panic Room. Well nowadays Tessa is already one and her daddio just recently put together this video chronicling the lil’ peanut’s growth in the womb. I find it endlessly cute when LB shows up in the photos. Big bros rule!

Little Dudes Do Seinfeld

I‘M SMITTEN WITH THIS video of lil’ brothers lip syncing to Jerry Seinfeld’s “Halloween” stand-up. That little dude in the Hawaii shirt is so fidgety and hilarious! (I love when he “says” that his mother made him wear a winter coat over his cool costume…mine too!)

Louisiana Waddle for Me

by Anastasia on May 6, 2010

YouTube Preview Image

THIS WEEKEND, MY FRIEND Erin’s parents are driving up from New Orleans with 70 pounds of crawfish. We’re all going to contribute our favorite summer side-dishes (I’m bringing the potato salad), get a keg, and have a ruckus outdoor crawfish boil! I’ve never eaten crawdads (have you?), but apparently this kind of neighborhood crustacean boil is a bayou tradition. I think it’s a perfect way to wrap up the semester. And until then, I’ll be practicing my Louisiana Waddle, a la the lovely NOLA native Boswell Sisters.

(I’ll post pictures of the big boil next week…stay tuned!)

Sex and the City 2: Weep Womp

by Anastasia on May 5, 2010

EW, WHY DOES Sex and the City keep betraying their awesome roots by making horrible movies that involve living happily ever after whilst traveling to foreign lands? (Did you see the first movie? Will you see this one?) [click to continue…]

Ye Olde Wassailing Tunes

WE’RE BIG FANS of Christmas carols in my family. “Oh Holy Night,” “Little Drummer Boy,” “The 12 Days of Christmas,” you name it, we’ve been singing it this week. And so last night between verses of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” my mom asked me if I remembered my very first favorite Christmas song. I was stumped at first. And then I remembered “Children Go Where I Send Thee,” and all the many Christmases T and I spent clapping and dancing along (with arguably as much spirit as that little tyke on the right) to the rhythm of that song came back to me. What about you? What was your childhood favorite carol? Current favorite?

If I Were the Stork: Kitten Paws

OH MY CUTENESS, I’m in love with this ticklish fur ball. And I can authoritatively say that watching those little kitten paws flail in the air is the new best cure for the blues! (See all my “If I Were the Stork” series of imagined adoptive siblings here.)

Tegan and Sara Rock My World…

AGAIN. YES, OUR FAVORITE CANADIAN identical twins have a new album. I haven’t listened to it all, but I like what I’ve heard. Above is the video for their new single, Hell. Things I like about it: origami, striped shirts, old TVs, Kitty cutouts, and–of course–the sisterly vibe oozing out of those motel rooms. Interested in more sister music? Check out these past posts on sibling bands and sisterly songs. We also have a mini-directory here. Enjoy!

Bon Anniversaire, Catherine

IN CELEBRATION OF CATHERINE Deneuve’s birthday (she happens to be one of my all-time favorite French leading ladies), today I’m renting Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, in which Deneuve stars alongside her sister, Françoise Dorléac. The sisters play on screen, musically inclined twins living in the seaside town of Rochefort. Tragically, Françoise was killed in a car accident shortly after the film had finished shooting in 1967, and it always gives me chills seeing Catherine perform with her. Bon Anniversaire Catherine, your strength and talent are ever-inspiring. (More movies all about sisters here. What are you favorites?)

Let Me Be Your Friend Plz.

LAST WEEK MY DAD WAS visiting me in North Carolina (hence my brief hiatus from posting here), and we spent a great afternoon at the movies seeing Whip It. My dad is over 60 and currently lives on an island in the middle of the Pacific, so he thought the movie was hokey and strange (although he did enjoy the surround sound), but I was smitten. I may even start roller skating. Alia Shawkat (of Arrested Development fame) and Ellen Page play besties in the movie, and as it turns out they’re great friends in real life! I love this interview with them (watch the full video here). I wish we could all hang out and talk sisterhood, don’t you? (Plus: for a whole heap of movies all about sisters, check out our homemade directory.)

If I Were the Stork: ‘Le Flamby’

by Anastasia on October 1, 2009

MON DIEU! NEW DEVELOPMENTS on the cute French children front: this papa eats his petite fille’s flamby and some adorable mayhem ensues. There aren’t any subtitles, but I think even the French-challenged will be able to appreciate this one. (She keeps asking “elle est où?” meaning “where is it?”)
