I really either want to kiss a Norweigan or just make a fool of myself and blame it on the fact that I'm almost thoroughly Norweigan myself by kissing some bloke while yelling the word "SMASK!!!" which is apparently the word they use for kissing in Norway... like Smooch... but with more brutal viking connotations.
<--- Oliver Sacks. Smart ppl that wear ridiculously awesome t-shirts... <3>
"the basis of an inner life" I am just really fond of that statement. When I first read it in Oliver Sacks blog I just kept reading then went back after I actually thought about what that meant for a second. He was talking about his love for cepholopods and the idea of them having 'individuality and consciousness, and the basis of an inner life.' ...Inner life...? thoughts? conversation with ones self in your head (always makes you sound like a crazy person when you sit and discribe it but absolutely every human does it). There is a whole universe exisiting in every human's head...brain...mind? Why not in squids? in kittens? we've all seen that dopy sleepwalking dog (if you haven't you tube it cuz its abolutely hilarious) what the heck are they thinking?!
"I like cephalopods because they are so removed from us and yet, in some fundamental ways, so like us. They are my favorite aliens.”
...(add to reading list "Octopus: The Ocean's Intelligent Invertebrate" by Jennifer A. Mather and Roland C. Anderson... There is a chapter entitled "Not Getting Eaten" worth it just to read that chapter... also the chapter "Sex at Last")Take that annoying camera guy!!!
Things to do, people to see, octupus to daydream about. cheers ya'll
