I remembered (I think) what I wanted to write about. I hope this was the topic. The other day in the paper, someone complained about how an obituary was written in Spanish because it's a (primarily) English newspaper. That got me thinking about my obituary. I'd like mine to be written in at least two languages. Right now, I'm thinking they'd be in English and the language I'm creating. Space and money pending, it'd be nice to see it (well, I probably wouldn't "see" it as I'd be dead) it in Esperanto and Iñupiaq as well.

Okay, this is getting long. I think I've made my point/s... or lack thereof. I need to do this homework for my Saturday morning class that's in an hour. Yeehaw.

I finished watching 101 Reykjavik for the 2nd time tonight. This is a hilarious movie. Hlynur develops a crush on a (presumed) friend of his mother's. One night, they end up sleeping together. Later, he find out that she is not just her mother's friend... but also lover. Sleeping with your mother's girlfriend? Yes. It's a very interesting movie. That's only a part of the plot. Hlynur is what many people might consider a "loser." He lives at home with his mom- at age 30. He's not in school. He has no job. He lives off welfare, where he somehow managed to claim 75% disability- even though he's not.

I think he's potentially a hero to me- not a hero... but a role model in some senese. Not for any of the above reasons, however. It's this one scene at the beginning that makes me happy.

Lola: So, Hlynur, what do you do?
Hlynur: Me?
Lola: You.
Hlynur: Nothing.
Lola: Nothing?
Hlynur: (pause) Yeah.
Lola: What kind of nothing?
Hlynur: (pause) The nothing kind of nothing.

Hlynur basically has no ambition in life. He doesn't want to get a job. As a result, he's still living with his mother at age 30- and is unemployed, giving no real thought to what he wants to do. I almost see myself in that situation (albeit at age 21 instead of 30. I'm just advanced for my age). Currently, I have no ambition- there's not really much I can think of that I want to do. I'm almost tempted to say I don't want to do anything. I'm not sure. Then again, I get bored easily- so I'd want to do something to keep me busy. Such things I must think about.

Back to the movie. It's a hilarious, but probably dark movie. It might be a little awkward for some, since Hlynur is not someone most people would find admirable. As a main character, that can be difficult to tolerate. If you can't sympathize with the star, understand him, or relate to, a movie can be difficult to sit through. For me, it wasn't that difficult. I guess I actually understood him--- somewhat. He's still not all that admirable, though. If you watch the movie, you can find some of the scenes where he's not such a nice guy.

For the past... err... week, I've been planning on doing something productive. I find it very hard to actually do things, aside from browse the web (including Livejournal) and watch tv. I've been trying to get myself to work on my current story (which I think I'll do after this message). I've also been trying to learn Esperanto. Neither's really happened. Oh, yeah, I also started cleaning my room. It's not a pretty picture. Hopefully today, I'll actually "do" something.
