Og hér ert þú.

Today I was finally able to watch "Heima", the Sigur Rós documentary. Filmed in the summer of 2006, the documentary chronicles their return to Iceland after extensive touring around the world and is centered around them playing free, unannounced shows around their native country. Heima (Icelandic for "at home") helped me rediscover my love for this band and also incited an obsession with the country of Iceland. I've been image googling, checking plane tickets, doing research; I have to travel there. Won't you come with?

Until then, Sigur Rós on September 23rd in Detroit! That should be enough to hold me over.

GASP!!

I was recently shocked and appalled to find that our beloved greasy spoon, The High Level Cafe, had turned their lights off, locked their doors, and put a 'For Lease' sign in the window. What does this mean for all of my fellow Old West End and Downtown/Uptown neighbors who are looking for a late night cure to the munchies? I'm a tad concerned. Will we be forced to drive to places such as IHOP or Wafflehouse? Order pizza from Cottage Inn (over-priced, mediocre, "45 minutes to an hour")? I will not subscribe to this! My suggestion? Someone with a little money open it back up with some minor improvements. Newer menu, new jukebox...think about it friends. Until then, Rest In Peace High Level. You'll be missed.

A blog. What a novel idea! These wonderful little spaces on the vast world of the interweb are my favorite pages to browse. I get such a kick out of what people like, what they're doing, what they find, the art/music/anything they make, etcetera. Do I dare indulge? Could anyone find this amusing? Entertaining? Something to pass the time, at the very least?

I guess we'll see. And I'll start with this...

I started back at school at BGSU this week. Being the poor kid that I am, and refusing to buy a commuter pass, I am forced to find random parking lots around the city. I found this little gem today and thought "you know what, anonymous spray painter? you're right." Please excuse the poor camera phone quality.



Cheers.
