Another Sigur Rós video:
The video I originally ran across this morning may be less palatable to some of you, but I want to include it because it was powerful to me. Being analytical as I am, I'm tempted to temper the video's emotionality with analytical balance. But I'll leave it to speak for itself other than to say what was more powerful to me than the story portrayed is the initial theme of destructively attacking innocent tenderness and purity with fear and prejudice (the opening scene had me fully in tears--guess it struck a cord):

I LOVE THEM. I got to see them last year, it was awesome. Have you seen Heima?
I don't think so. Care to enlighten me? :-)
It was the documentary film they made while touring Iceland recently. It's absolutely breathtaking.

We should get together and watch it. I was just talking to Kayleigh about it - she hasn't seen it either.
I say we do it. I know a couple of other people who would be really interested, too. Maybe we should do it at my place before I move next weekend?! Do you have it, or would we have to rent it. I just added it to my Netflix queue a few minutes ago. :-)
Oh, I'm moving out of the condo. Depending on job prospects in the next few days, I may move in with the Jimenez clan. That's the most likely scenario right now, it appears. :-)
Well cool. Yeah if you're place is okay that would be great. If not we can do it at our apartment. We just moved to Provo.
