My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--
It gives a lovely light!

Everything Monika
Name::Minka From::Reykjavík, Iceland
I am a 30 year old student at the university of Iceland, who is at this moment dedicated to the welfare of the aging part of society at Sunnuhlið. One of 7 siblings I have turned out to be somewhat of a noisy girl, with the abilitiy to play nice at times.
"riding astride a rugged pony,
children adored she's never lonely.
steady wind blows flaxen tresses,
in lover's arms she offers caresses.
bubbling sulpher springs beneath,
it has been decided and bequeathed.
in snowy climate and harsh terrain,
that overall an Ice Queen reigns."

Great! Double post for a double fun weekend? Thanks, Minka -- you, too! Oh, and btw, that's a very fancy Kentucky bathroom - -it actually has toilet paper instead of corn cobs and/or the J.C. Penney's Catalog!
I figured, if you're going to run the post twice, I am going to run muy comment twice.
We need to have a talk about natural selection. Also double posting. I insist on single commenting. ;)
A colleague of mine sent me a cartoon from the New Yorker. A penguin (I presume male) is sitting on a sofa, holding, er, hands with a pretty girl (human) in the living room of a posh New York apartment or house. They are speaking with an older couple (the girl's parents?), who are seated on the opposing (sic) sofa and giving Our Fowl a hard stare. The bird is answering what must have been an aggressive question.
"I prefer to be called Arctic-American."
The pedants among us would complain "that should be 'Antarctic-American'"! But I don't know any pedants around here. Do you?
Someone sent me an email with penguins that I have kept in my inbox for 2 years now. I have to see if I can send it to you. It makes me laugh every morning at work.
well, i'm a crummy friend, if ever there was one. so sorry i missed this happy little post -- especially since it features such delightful and/or amusing pictures!
the weekend is over -- sigh -- here's hoping yours was as beautiful and wonderful as you are, my friend! xox

The surfing penguin is about as cool as can be. Have a great weekend.
Happy surfing... erm, weekened, penguin!
FYI, I switched to the new blogger a long time ago.
have a great weekend monika. :-)
LOVE your pictures!! Funny post today - the penguin is so cool he doesn't even need a surfboard! Now that is slick.
I need to get the "not you again" sign for one of my neighbors. He's here every day telling us about all the things we could care less about.
Have a great weekend.
The penguin is funny...I really would like one of those welcome signs on that door though. Happy Week-End to you, dear!
