I don't know what to say anymore. Can you help?

Hi! Happy Obama day! I of course wasn't allowed to vote but I feel that I helped out anyway seeing how most people visit this blog after googling "Obama's font got serif goddamn".

Obama makes me feel fresh. So when is he going to give me a green card? joke.

Here is a rap song:

Okay on to THE IMPORTANT STUFF

The radio show Andrew and I made is ready. Go to http://newschoolradio.org/, scroll down a little bit and click "Sex, Lies and Radiowaves: Show 1". And listen. And then ask more questions! Because we are making more shows! Yes we can!

Tonight I made FAMOUS TUNA SALAD. It has tuna, egg, onion, mayo, cream cheese and seasoning. it is delicious. I ate so much and now I feel disabled. disabled by protein. I don't know where my roommate Andrew is. I think he was kidnapped by Obama campaigners. I am utterly helpless.

Hey here is a picture of Hrafnhildur, I miss her. She lives in Amsterdam and pretends to be a serious student.

Sarah Palin, Lies and Radiowaves

I watched the VP debates last night. I also watched the debates that took place a week ago. This whole thing is kind of upsetting but I'm not going to get into it because well, everyone should be well into it by now. I will just say: If you are an american please vote. And I shouldn't have to tell you who to vote for because the number one search query for this blog by far is the title of this post.

But just in case you're not sure who not to vote for, please watch this video.

So. now that that's clear. I should probably go fold my laundry or do some school work. Because I am trying to be a normal responsible content person these days. I don't know where that will take me if anywhere but we'll see. Later today I am going on a field trip to WNYC, New York Public Radio, the very place that produces the sweet sounds I fall asleep to every night and wake up to every morning. MAGIC.

My radio class is pretty wonderful.

Andrew and I will be hosting a relationship/sex/life advice show on New School Radio called Sex, Lies and Radiowaves and we need you to ask us questions so we'll have something to talk about. We are obviously not doctors or psychologists so try to stay away from that sort of heavy stuff. But we are taking this relatively seriously. So please ask our advice about anything by e-mailing us at askradiowaves@gmail.com

We of course won't give out anyone's name or e-mail address. We will do our best to answer everyone, you don't even have to put a lot of thought into it, just take a minute and ask away because we need submissions to get things rolling.

Alright. laundry folding time. food eating time. I'll close with a couple of old Lomo photos of Eric Schlosberg because he is a fun guy. And who doesn't like fun guys.

HIS FONT GOT SERIFS GODDAM

(click to enlarge)



maybe I would vote for him if this was his actual campaign. or if I were actually allowed to vote.

this is all I do: sit on my couch and think about how much i have to pee, or how hungry I am, or how much work I have to do, and then I just sit on the couch for eternity thinking about it instead of doing something about it.

maybe obama can make a change in my life.

I went to see Mýrin, or Jar City, the other day at the IFC center.



I took andrew and rachael with me. they liked it. this was very exciting for me. this was the third time I saw an icelandic film in NYC and every time it has been exciting. I don't know what is wrong with me, I shouldn't get so excited. but there is something so strange about watching a place that's so familiar but not being there at all. I guess I just like to think about these things more than other people. By these things I mean location and the difference between the two parts of the world where I spend my time. especially when I'm watching a movie like this that intentionally makes fun of one of the characters for being some sort of a "coward" or not tough because he lived in america for some time. that is funny and at the same time makes me feel uncomfortable, especially when i watch it with my friends who are american. a few things in the movie actually made them think that iceland is anti-america, but not in a super serious way. it's completely understandable because the movie did that on purpose, and we probably are in some ways. sometimes that makes a little part of me embarrassed of living here or liking it here. mostly i just want my friends who have never been to iceland to think good things about it because it's such a huge part of me and i want them to think good things about me. yes, this is something I think about a lot.

Anyway, I want to quote loosely a conversation that 2 american girls had in the bathroom after the movie:

So funny that we went to see this just because you hooked up with that icelandic dude. yeah. this was so weird. yeah. iceland is like, so depressing. because the sun NEVER shines ever, so it's just like totally depressing. and people are just angry all the time. totally.


I'm not going to comment.
