Iphone

Iphone games I can't get enough of:
WaterPipes
Temple run
Draw free
Bejewelled
High Noon

On another note, the latest ipad sounds attractive. But still....

Breast sagging?

As we grow older our boobs tend to head south.

A way to know if yours is sagging is by putting a pencil between the folded bottom of each of your boobs. If the pencil stays and doesnt fall off, its time for breast enchancements LOL

Chauvanist

The mentality of a male chauvanist: "As a husband, he had to teach her to obey him."

Slapped her twice he did! Wtf. Why would we, females want to be in a relationship where we have to OBEY our other half??!! I love him, not because I want a moral teacher as my husband. I love him, not because I want him to be my dictator. Wtf.

It angers me that some men think they have the right to control their wives after marriage. Teach? Obey? Marriage is about compromise, idiot! Whatmore knowing he slapped his wife!!! Geez.... Why get a husband if it restricts your freedom to do what you like! Why get a husband when he expects you to be his slave! Why get a husband when you will be living in fear of getting bitched, slapped, kicked, punched, spat or even shot at eventually!

Life is short

Life is short...
Smile,
While you still have teeth!

Nammi

Candy, or nammi in Icelandic, is an unfortunate national pastime : /

I took this photo from the sidewalk looking in to the neighborhood's newest business. This location on Laugavegur used to house a super-comfy organic café/yoga studio called Hjlómalind, but the new resident is a candy bar (please don't miss the irony in that word choice.) According to my teenage daughter, it will stay open til 2am, because that's what we all really need. More sugar in our lives... 

*sigh*

Switching places

Nurse: I don't want to bring the wrong patient to the OT.....

Rainbow

This photo is of the Gravarvogur inlet (good article there from the Reykjavik Grapevine) looking out over to the water tanks at Grafarholt on a misty Sunday last weekend.

I'm considering the concept of what we resist persisting and liking how it works with change. Resistance to change is futile and in addition will cause it to persist. Giving this even a moment's meditative thought makes me feel like I'm in one of those giant plastic spheres rolling down a long green hill - it makes my stomach tingle with something like giddiness, or the uncomfortable but thrilling weightlessness that comes to us in those moments right before we fall asleep.

Beautiful and fantastic things are happening in the world and on this island - innovation, creation, bravery, compassion, healing - that help to offset the crumbling of old ways, both the socially sacred and profane. I like that when I get overwhelmed by all these darker secrets of our world that are being tattled and exposed these days, there's always some bright hope, some news or new product or method, that makes me smile.

It really is a wonderful world, and I guess I'm just going to keep on rolling with the change : )

Btw, if you haven't yet, go to the Iceland Eyes Facebook page, Like it if you'd like (I post more regularly there, with interesting and sometimes pretty obscure links), and then take a look in the left sidebar at the other fan pages I've liked (just a small slice of the total talent pool here, of course!) That way you can discover for yourselves some of the magic in the making here in Iceland.
