monkeys
I feel shitty. Winter makes me feel shitty. Too much schoolwork makes me feel shitty.
Monkeys make me feel less shitty. I drew some monkeys yesterday:
space traveler monkey:
octopus monkey:
popsicle monkey:
I need to pick one and make a finished drawing. you should tell me which one to pick.

I watched the oscars this weekend. It was pretty fun. the ceremony wasn't that fun. I liked the fact that a lady screenwriter got an award because that is not common. I liked the fact that all the acting performance awards went to europeans because I am european. No one from Iceland got an oscar. BUT! Jar City (Mýrin) is opening at IFC this weekend. It was our oscar contribution I think although it didn't get shortlisted. But everyone in New York should go see it. Go see iceland. Go see an icelandic murder mystery. there is no trailer online so you just have to take my word for it.

so there is a website called doingfine.org which is all about people who are doing just fine. I like that. I like it when people take a break from complaining and being miserable. I don't think I like very happy people but people who are doing fine are good. I am often doing fine. It is a good subject to dedicate a website too. Anyway, they contacted me and asked me to put up a button for them and maybe I would get something instead. They made an ugly button but I don't really care, I like their concept. so I have temporarily stuck it on the bottom of the sidebar. I thought their request was kind of funny anyway. I don't know. maybe I am the postergirl for "doing fine." A lot of shit happens to me but somehow I always manage to stay pretty "fine". Yes. I have decided this is the truth.

Julia, you talk too much about Iceland, you nationalist you. And I don't like any of the monkeys, work harder.
I like the octopus monkey. I also enjoy the slimy popsicle monkey b/c it reminds me of that time we sang "want you to eat my popsicle" to the tune of that queen song.
i kept going back to the 2001 björk performance during commercial and lamenting on why, why, why didn't they let thom yorke duet with her back then. which brings me to my next point: john legend is the black thom yorke, don't you agree.
I like the spacetraveller monkey the best. it looks like a diva and also a bit sad at the same time, which is awesome!
siggi: you're right, i'm a lazy looser.
charlie: I miss those awesome popsicles and that song!
heikki: after björk at the oscars everyone will forever be boring in comparison. and i agree. shich brings me to my next point: lets hang out, have brunch, or watch middle aged hippies yodle some poetry about the earth or something.
maria: I agree!
