Kokia

I am really happy I found the music of Kokia. She has an amazing voice and her music is very contemporary, worldly, yet timeless. I am very impressed. One of her vids on Youtube.

New Music

Lately I've been listening to (in no particular order):

Ayumi Hamasaki, and I can't get enough of her tunes. (Japan)
Utada Hikaru. I don't have enough of her music yet. (Japan)
Mika Nakashima, great voice, great arrangements. Lots of different styles. (Japan)
Wallen, very nice. (France)
Kokia, Very nice, Need more tunes. (Japan)

Among many others.

Update: check out Love Addict from Mika Nakashima's album Love.

Viggo and the potty training thing

Those of you who don't ahve kids can just skip right over this post.

My son Viggo is not interested in peeing in the toilet apparently. That doesn't stop him from taking off his pants, diapers, and peeing on the floor however.

You might think that would piss me off, but no, at least now he can tell the stuff is ready to come out. Now I just have to redirect him. Yay! Joy!

I've also been speaking in french to him a lot more, and he understand most everything I say. He started peppering his english with french words. Chapeau!
