I am writing

Just very, very slowly.

Here, watch this:

Now, I really really like the way Bjork mispronounces English. It wouldn’t be Bjork if she spoke American (or even British) English. But that does lead to certain misunderstandings of the lyrics. For example, in Army of Me, I was sure she was saying,

and if you complain once more
you’ll meet her, Annie Oakley

Which is a pretty creepy way of saying, I’ll kill you dead. Except she’s saying,

and if you complain once more
you’ll meet an army of me

Which I suppose I should have figured out from the title. Oh, well.

    I could not watch the whole video. I cracked a porcelain crown last week and had to get a temporary crown. I lost the temporary crown eating hard cheese (they warned me about cheese, but it was delicious) Christmas Eve and am enduring a painful raw stump tooth for a few more days until my dentist gets back from vacation.
