If I wasn't so obsessed with Estonia ...

... I would be completely obsessed with Iceland. This video calls me to jump on a plane and then spend several days investigating volcanic rock and dressing children like orphans. But the song is beautiful, Sigur Ros: Glósóli, one of those haunting tunes that stays with you. Back to the writing ...

ETA A friend just sent me this link which apparently is a simple test to see if you are dominantly right or left brained. I am horrified to learn that I am mung-bean loving right brainer! It's a treacherous example of nature overcoming nurture after I've spent years learning how to score perfect dictator results on MB tests!

This video is one of the best I've ever seen, thank you for putting it on your LJ (and for commenting on one of my drawings; I wouldn't have been here without your post :-))

Well, thank you for being so talented! Glad you like it; I had heard the song but never seen the video until recently, and I loved it, too. Trying to find some more of theirs in better quality formats now ... Might be the excuse I need to go to Iceland!

Lol, this must be one of the nicest replies to a post I've ever got :-)) Glad you appreciate my talent, I suppose it has to do with both brain halves and that's why I saw this revolving figure change every time I averted my eyes and looked again - I got all dizzy ;-))
Yay for Iceland - my favourite dancing teacher went there a few years ago and didn't come back. She said she fell in love with the country.

Heh! Hurrah for your adaptable brain! It's quite impressive, especially your lovely use of colours.

And at last! Someone I can share my once Icelandic joke with:

What do you do if you get lost in a forest in Iceland?

Stand up.

Lol - Well, I had an obsession with Finland actually but Iceland is very interesting as well. But now a little none-Icelandic joke for you:
A young man was applying for a job as policeman. The interviewer asked: "How would you disperse a crowd?"
The answer was: "I'd pass my hat."

(And if you speak French, that's my favourite:
Qu'efqu'un canife?
Un petit fien.)
