I Post Entirely Too Much About Fall.

In browsing through my own blog, I discovered I post an unbelievable amount about How Much I Love Fall.  Am I one-note blogger?  Gross.

Let's change it up a bit and talk about how I leave for Iceland on Saturday.  Among my goals?  Probably to re-create this video.


How hilarious is this ad campaign? I especially like when those twin gals spit-shape their eyebrows.  Who doesn't love some dried saliva on their face while filming? Also, this clip seems to imply that Iceland is an awkward-dancing, gorgeous-scenery, good-music lovers paradise of funny outfits and booze and sunshine.  Basically, everything a hipster would want to spend their disposable income to visit.  Well, you're welcome, Reykjavik, I'm happy to oblige your fledgling economy.

Something, however, tells me that maybe I ought to pack some SERIOUS rain boots.  This is an actual quandary.   For somewhat obvious reasons, packing knee-high galoshes is not ... space-savingly ideal.  But, probably better than suffering from soaked-sock-syndrome, right?  Especially considering the long, touristy days of constant walking and sight-seeing?  But still.  I honestly don't think I've ever had to pack rain boots.  Usually I have enough sense to travel away from bad weather, not towards it.

Doesn't it look like a gorgeous vacation?

But still!  Nevermind my usual tendencies!!  The scenery is sure to be amazing, the blue lagoon will be luxurious, and if all else fails, I could literally take a hike with THIS guy as my guide.  I'm serious, he invited me on a social networking site and garnered rave reviews:
He promised to make fish-pan for lunch!
Forget you Fall!  I'm headed face first into Winter.  And if that doesn't work out, well, I'll just get drunk.  I'm pretty sure that's all the Vikings did anyway, except on a boat.  So basically, Vikings were the original Andy Samberg.

Currently Listening: Sheryl Crow - I Shall Believe
(Please say honestly you won't / Give up on me / I shall believe.) 
NOTE: Some part of me will always believe that an artist's first real-album is their best work.

I'm pretty jealous of this. Can't wait to hear all about it!

Where to begin. You won't get legit drunk while you are there. Should - but won't. Wear the rain boots on the plane to save space. That's just good advice. No one likes an "I'm on a boat" reference. And the feud appears to continue.
