I never heard of 'em, until I ran into one of their videos on Break.com. Not surprising. With the thousands or tens of thousands of musicians and groups, who can follow them all?
Penn Masala, the Hindi a cappella group. Wow.
Listen to Aankhon Mein Tu Hai. A little hip-hop, a little bit of ballad, hauntingly beautiful tune and clean lyrics - Hooray! Teenage daughter loved it.
Go to their site and buy their CDs.
I was able to sit down for a while and finish reading Hard Truth by Nevada Barr.
If you like mysteries, it's a good one. Ms. Barr is a ranger for the National Park Service, and she sets her books in one of the parks.
Not.
Not a moment's rest all weekend. Even this post is a day late.
Hope you had some leisure time!
My plans are to NOT wash the truck. Heh. That's kinda cheating, as I never wash the truck.
Prolly will do some gardening, but that's a pleasure, not a chore. I need to dig up and move one more blueberry bush, get it out of the path of tractors and such; it's too close to the gate.
What aren't you gonna do today?
As you might guess, today's Slothful Sunday wasn't as relaxing as I might wish, heh. There was nothing I could leave undone today.
But I've been getting in a little relaxation by watching movies, yesterday and today.
Darling Daughter and I had a Harry Potter festival. I'd never seen any of the Harry Potter films, and she's got the complete set.
My verdict is: very entertaining. And the set decorators must've had a blast. Wonder if there's someplace I can buy a set of those spine candles?
What aren't you doing?
I've been watching videos. Over at Blackfive, I saw this video showing Makoto Nagano, the fellow who won the 17th Japanese Ninja contest.
It's broadcast on some cable channel, but we don't get cable.
My hat's off to Mr. Nagano, who has incredible upper-body strength. I highly recommend wasting 10 minutes watching the video.
What we aren't doing: yard work.
Have a great Sunday!

This is a new weekly feature here at bogalusa!.
For at least an hour on Sunday, I put my feet up and do nothing instead of somethin' like yard work. I read the news, or a short story, or contemplate the lint in my navel.
At the moment, I'm not scrubbing floors.
What aren't you doing?
UPDATE: The look of the blog is cleaner with Arial instead of Times New Roman, ain't it?
There seems to be more air traffic than usual - small planes and helicopters.
Anybody know what that's all about?
Corn maze in Hickory. Or maybe it's a maize maze?
Closed this year due to Katrina. Open again in 2007.
Sounds like a fun activity with the kids, huh?
Good news for area kids:
The YMCA is installing a skateboard park on the old tennis court between the pool and walking track at Goodyear Park.In the same article:
The leadership of the Bogalusa YMCA, which is currently divided between Avenue B and Avenue U locations, has been working to unite the two into one new facility. Parker is hopeful that will happen within the next couple of years.These two facilities are often referred to as the "black Y" and the "white Y" by locals. Maybe in a couple years, we'll quit with the unofficial apartheid.
