...life

Things are slowly falling into place her or at least I am. The neighbour is still there, and still crazy, the labwork is still not producing results and there are still the occasional bugs. I have kept busy lately, B and I went to see David Lynch’s Inland Empire a week ago, we watched Das Leben der Anderen on Monday, Tuesday I had an AFS meeting, yesterday I had to go pick up a returnee from Gardemoen. My project is and isn’t going well, we had some promising results earlier this week but then as we went further things stopped looking so good, but hey that is research for you. And at least this time the bad results were not because I made any mistakes. I have some interesting things coming up the next couple of weeks, I am starting a Yoga class in two weeks, and going to a seminar on how to make good courses. Then it is soon time for the usual, the AFS fall seminar, hope that it won’t be as foggy this year so I can go down to the World’s End. Then we have a preorientation for those going on an exchange in the New Year and soon Christmas is here and I have to decide where I am going to be.

 

Movies

As mentioned I saw Inland Empire last week, it was interesting, in a good way. I enjoyed it even though I did not get everything in it. For my visually cultured friends I think you might find this interesting, as it is mainly visuals with a side of text. The other people at the cinema seemed to be like these really serious movie types. You know like the types that go to see David Lynch but would not be caught dead at a blockbuster. And they probably had very serious intellectual conversations about the movie afterwards.

 

As good as Lynch was, Das Leben der Anderen, was so much better. Ok I realize that everybody saw this one like a year ago, but I missed at the cinema and B just bought it while I was in Iceland so we only got to see it this week. The story is just so beautiful and it is great to be riminded that despite all the bad things in this world there are also good people out there. If you haven’t seen it, do so as soon as possible.

 

It is really fall here, the trees are multicoloured and there are leaves overall, if it were not so cloudy all the time everything would be so pretty.

And by the way, you need to change the blurb-text. You are not 25. You're old.

Vá þetta var hræðilegt. Til þess að geta skrifað seinna kommentið þá þurfti ég að slá inn stafina sem birtust á skjánum... en ég á í svakalegum vandræðum með þessa stafi. Ég sé ALDREI hvað á að vera þarna. Reyndi fjórum sinnum, alltaf vitlaust, og þá sá ég að maður gat líka gert AUDIO og hlustað á tölur og slegið þær inn. Neini, þá fékk maður SJÖ tölur í runu... og manneskja með talnablindu getur ekkert munað svona margar tölur. Reyndi þetta tvisvar án árangurs og neyddist þá til að fara aftur í stafina. Hræðileg þraut.
