My friend has gotten me hooked on a new TV show - ok, it's not new (there have been 3 seasons) but it is new to me. The show is called Castle and airs on ABC. It is a show about a famous murder mystery novelist who starts to work with the NYPD to get ideas for his books. At first, I thought it was an awful lot like Bones (one of my fave shows) because it has to do with solving murders. But the humor and characters in the two are different, making this a fresh show. And obviously there is a crime-fighting duo whose chemistry make the whole thing worth watching continually. I highly recommend the show, although I will say that some of the culprits are pretty predictable.
What does this have to do with Willow Smith? you might ask. Well, last night I went to the public library to mooch off of their free internet -- I needed to catch up on some of my Castle watching before the next season starts. As I sat at my computer desk, this chubby, black kid (approxiametely 9 or 10), sat next to me watching Willow Smith videos over and over again. He had a grand time, as was evidenced by the boisterous laughing, knee slapping, and the fact that he almost fell out of his chair chuckling 2 times! Everytime he started laughing I looked over to see what he was watching, and each time (without fail) he was watching an interview or performance by Willow Smith. Clearly, he's a fan. This kid made my whole day because it was so stinkin' entertaining.
I have attached a video of Willow Smith's "Whip Your Hair" in his honor.
