Curious George opens today, and although I've loved that little monkey since I was 3, I am much more excited about the soundtrack to the film, Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies, which I picked up yesterday. Written and sung by Jack Johnson, the CD boasts appearances by Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa on tracks like, “The Sharing Song”, and in reinterpreting some classics like Harpers, “With My Own Two Hands“. Johnson's roll as a new father definitely lends influence to his soft melodies and song selection on the album and helped him to create songs for all ages. I really like “Broken” and “Upside Down”. So from myself, George, and the Man in the Yellow Hat, close the curtains, throw on this CD, and get on island time, if only for a while.

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while, but I’m still recovering from a caffeine induced coma and subsequent addiction withdrawal I suffered from these mints. No really, these mints are incredible and certainly are worthy of a title claim like ‘VoJo Energy Mints‘. The packaging is in a makeup-like mirrored box, unlike anything else I have seen in the marketplace– a nice touch. The mints, well, they have quite the kick. I went a few days addicted to the Citrus flavor before I realized I’d gone 72 hours without sleeping. You can Order them online to check them out, but use responsibly!
