Another musical group that I've been keeping tabs on is Nota, an a capella group from Puerto Rico competing for an Epic Records/Sony Music recording contract on NBC's Sing Off reality television show. They rock my tv set every time! Here's an official video from their show.

Their YouTube channel NOTAVOCAL has also been getting some hits - they've uploaded home videos from their rehearsals and jam sessions, featuring contemporary music!

Mi trabajo de poesía, switching code & the last days of the semester.

Term papers, final exam note-cards and packing have recently taken over my desk, bed and car! I'm currently drafting a term paper trata de la transición entre los temas religiosos y amorosos con las obras de algunos poetas del siglo XVI. Sorry about the spanglish, it's much easier to explain it in Spanish than in English.

I guess language classes do that to you. I'm solid proof that the brain does cartwheels and back handsprings in code-switching. Sometimes I can't explain something in English so I'll say it in Spanish and vice versa.

Aside from school, I hope that everyone is enjoying the holidays. Sadly for me, I haven't done any Christmas shopping - but I did get a chance to see Domingo DeGrazia perform at Ala Moana's Centerstage! I'll do a small review of that, post photos and videos up as soon as I get a chance.
