For a bit of silliness that goes on in my head...So I picked up the movie Heima while at the Sigur Ros concert. After going on a world tour Sigur Ros returned home to Iceland and played a series of unannounced free shows, all over Iceland. Heima is a film about that experience. Along with the music from the wonderful live shows that were everywhere from concert halls, to mountain tops, to abandoned fish warehouses, the movie also shows a lot of Iceland and it's people. I have to 
say I was pretty smitten with how beautiful the country is. The Icelandic language is beautiful as well, and people seem so cute and simple. So yes, I know it's silly but now I want to learn the language and go there and live for a while, or at least visit. Hee hee. It's just so beautiful!
What are your silly dreams...everyone has them right?

I went to Keflavik in February several years ago...brrrrrrr!
I didn't get to enjoy anything because I stayed in my room the whole time bundled up next to the heater.
One of those places I'd love to go back and visit for real...I'll just be sure to go in the summer next time.
Iceland is beautiful and other-worldly. Go live your dream.
so i'm thinking, next june is their big festival time....you game?
I would love to go to Iceland, too. Of course, I'd love to go anywhere. However, cold isn't my favorite, so I'd have to be selective about when. And you are the one who wears sweaters in the summer! Dreams aren't silly, but if you call them goals they have a better chance of happening. Here's a silly dream of mine: to write a book. Maybe someday I'll be ready to call it a goal. Thanks for sending the link to the video. Beautiful photography and kids and I liked the music and the way it kept building, but I wonder what the lyrics are and what they mean...you know me. And the ending, for me, was disturbing. Definitely Pied Piperish. I guess I'm too much of a Pollyanna or only want to see the world through rose-colored glasses.
