so i was listening to the radio last week, and was fortunate enough to hear marie digby's rendition of rihanna's "umbrella." now i am definitely not a fan of the original version, and i am surprised that someone could take that song and turn it into something that i would listen to over and over.
after doing a little bit of research on the internet, i discovered that in may of this year, marie digby had uploaded a number of videos of herself singing "umbrella" and other popular covers onto youtube (not to mention, she has a few videos of original music as well). her videos became so popular that the star 98.7 starting playing her music, and two months after her youtube debut, she was invited to perform on the carson daly show. finally, four days ago, itunes released an EP featuring 2 covers, including "umbrella", as well as two original songs. if you haven't heard of her already, now is defintiely a good time to start listening.. and may i say she's pretty good looking too
with the summer months rolling around and as my culinary skills continue to improve, i thought, what better way to harness the ohio sunshine than to start an herb garden? so 2 months later and after a number of failed attempts at growing parsley, basal, and mint, i finally have a little plant to show for my efforts.
i really don't know how long this is going to last, but i hope i get at least one meal out of this..
i hope this isn't too much to ask, but it would be really great if you could help me out by voting on my shirt design!! it'll be in the running for 5 more days, and since my first two designs didn't score very high, i am really pulling for this one.
to vote, click on the image below to go to my voting page. you'll have to register to vote if you haven't already. that way, it'll keep people from going to a bunch of computers and voting for themselves over and over. after you register and go back to the original page to place your vote. to give the highest score possible, you have to click the "i'd buy it" box, then click the 5 (it basically counts as a 6).
the winners get 2000 dollars in cash and prizes, and like the previous designs, i will definitely be sharing the winnings with my friends.. so there's something in it for you! thanks!!
