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:
I'm not going to comment.

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.

OMG we're blog twind cause we both have the same fake obama poster from Jezebel... also you would vote for Hillz if you could vote in america, because she's awesome. Also, I completely relate to wanting to see the place you're from in movies/ on TV. I freak out in my head whenever i watch a movie/show based in DC/northern VA. 3days.
