Dan Cosidine & Accents

Dan Cosidine is amazing!  His accents are spot on and he's rather amusing to listen to.

City of Rio de Janeiro

Eduardo Paes is the mayor of Rio de Janeiro and he has a great vision for his city.  His city was even awarded the 2016 Olympics due to him.  He sounds like the best mayor ever!

Now I'm not sure what to think of him.  And then I read this article, which is a relief to read after so much eviction.  The article basically states that Eduardo Paes was pressured into signing a decree giving the poor within their favelas a chance to fight back.  The reason I have conjured in my head for Paes evicting so many people was that the people living in the favelas had no deeds to their houses because they had built them so long ago.  What a dirty trick...

The Butterfly Circus

The Butterfly Circus is absolutely beautiful and simplistic award-winning short film.  I cried when I saw it, I was so moved.

The Upstart Crow

Stop motion video for a creative scholarship fund by my favorite living artist, Cory Godbey.  He did this for a friend of his, Micah Coston, who is attempting to pursue a doctoral degree in English and Shakespeare Studies at Oxford, Cambridge, AND the Shakespeare Institute.  For more info go to http://www.micahcoston.com/upstartcrow
