photos from the new album by bjork

one of the weird things i ask myself when i am making my hats is..."would bjork wear this?" and when i can envision her in it, then i know i am on the path i want to be on.
and now just LOOK at this hat/wig/thing that bjork is wearing. my GOD. it is gorgeousness extreme, as always. man. this is what i aspire to do. i can feel like i ALMOST could make this. but i am not there yet. but i am on my way because i am driven to get there. mmmm. i love to be inspired! so tantalizing and painful.

woa...i'm having total deja vu at saying that and posting these images...and now i am having deja vu over writing i have deja vu about this. double whammy! woa...freakkkyyyy....i'll take this is a good sign! i feel like i've dreamt this...

got to the bank but not the p.o.
i'm in a taking-things-in mode rather than a creative-output mode when it comes to photos.
my eyes hungrily search glossy magazines and the earth plane for exciting sights to jar me.
now it's all cooking in me like a soup before i dish it out to you in a new form :)

 

3:37pm

looking at lots of pix of bodyart again, lately. recent things of bjork, the magic_in_makeup lj community, and i'm getting inspired to do some more body art photography soon, i think :)

i have to get outside and do a lot of errands today. get to the p.o. and to the bank.
this will be good as i need to get some walking in.

then tonight at 7pm some friends of mine and jaosn's are coming over to watch a movie at jason's. jason has decided to have movie nights for us and our friends every tuesday night.

i'm actually enjoying watching the olympics this year, and not just the gymnastics. how odd.
i'm trying to figure out why because i loathe almost all sports.
maybe it's because the olympics give off an air that is less sleazy and more nobel than the usual advertising infested guy oriented beer swilling mysogynistic crap?
yet, logically, i know that the olympics are quite possibly even more sleazy and corrupt than ever.
or maybe it's because it's more psychological for me because i can analyze the differences between countries and countries interacting especially in these hostile warring times?
or is it because , as my body gets older, i am gaining a new appreciation for things of the body and being able to be the fastest runner isn't seeming as stupid and pointless to me anymore because i wonder now what it would have felt like had i developed my body to be fine tuned in that way and not taken a more "brainy" route?
a little bit of all of this, i guess. it's an odd feeling, for me, to be at all interested in the 200 yard backstroke race thing.
even a year ago i would have still thought it incredibly shallow and pointless and boring.
but, i dunno, this year, i am starting to feel differently.
but don't get me wrong, i'm not going to start watching baseball or football now.


1:50pm

i woke this morning (ok, afternoon) to find a wonderful photo by one of my fave photographers on lj with one of my misfit stuffed animals i had sent her:

this makes me happy :) it's things like this that make me feel so good about getting rid of my stuff and giving it a new life with someone new.

here is a zip file that contains a .wmv of bjork's perfromance at the olympics.
it is 29.68MB
and it contains none of the inane commentary that NBC had, thank god.
