Quote of the Day/Week- Shakira

Hmmm....no one seems to be reading this blog except a few people in El Salvador. Hopefully, colombian pop icon Shakira (b. 1977) can shake things up a bit.

Shakira hit it big with her 2001 English-language record "Laundry Service" (yes, that's the reason for the laundry basket) featuring the erotic ballad "Underneath Your Clothes" and the dance hit "Whenever, Whereever."

Ok, it's time to feed the family cat, so here is the quote from Shakira:

"Everyone can know what is in my heart because I find it hard to conceal myself."

Friday GeoQuiz- Tokyo Calling....

Today, we ask you the blog-reader to guess which year the Summer Olympics were held in Tokyo, Japan. I am now in the process of finally seeing the Yasujiro Ozu cinematic masterpiece "Tokyo Story" on dvd, hence the reason for this image above.

Was the year?:

A) 1988
B) 1956
C) 1964
D) 1968

The answer to last week's quiz was "B."

SIDEBAR: I imagine if tickets remain they may be very limited by the Canadian band Arcade Fire which is apparently now hotter than Shakira dancing barefoot in a low-cut dress is performing this weekend in Montreal, Boston and Philadelphia (that's actually a Monday concert). The band will also be profiled in this week's edition of "Sound Opinions," an NPR series which airs at 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays in the Greensboro and Raleigh markets on 91.5 (WUNC-FM, Chapel Hill).
