People always doubt me when I tell them the members of A-ha are Norwegian. Well, they are. And since it's Norway's one moment of pop glory, turns out
they're still playing shows. No kidding. Oh, and also they look silly. But, honestly, I'd be disappointed if they didn't.

If you're having trouble coping with the almost-August heat, I highly recommend renting this totally off-beat
Icelandic drama. My father and I watched it on a 103-degree day and agreed that it made being buried in an avalanche look pretty darn good.
PS Two weeks from tonight, I'll be on a plane to London!
!!!
PPS I also received my residence permit in the mail, so I'm totally legit.

I was telling my dad the other day about how my friend
Lindsey posted on her blog that she needed a friend with whom to watch trashy television the day after I planned to sheepishly invite her to do exactly that with me. "Isn't that how it goes these days," he said. "Millions of people connecting with millions of other people. In total isolation." Another friend famously says, "Too many MCs. Not enough mics." I don't fancy myself an MC. I crave response, which is why this is not the medium for me, really. And also why I'm very pleased with the discussion provoked by the last post. Three cheers for dialogue.
PS I also feel it's important that I confess now that I'm addicted to the stat counter on my blog. So if you haven't told me you read it ... I probably already know. Hopeless voyeur, I know! Hopeless.
