I have been a big Bjork fan since the good old days of the Sugar Cubes, but for a while there, she definitely lost me. She is back though, in a big way with a new album (Volta), a spring tour, and some great new videos. She is in fact having a Video Contest which I will be entering. You can watch her playing live at Coachella (links on bjork.com) to see what she’s up to these days. Seems to be a very interesting pagan tribal wild color phase. Fun for the whole family.
If you have not seen her video for “Earth Intruders”, you should watch it immediately (it’s on ITunes now that YouTube dumped it).

My dad is crazy. For a long time, I thought he was just eccentric. A chip off the odd block that was Post-Victorian Britain. However, I was wrong. He’s mad. Totally nuts.
Case in point. At the age of 73 he is taking his medical board exams again because when he was in England his US license lapsed. So, this thursday, he’ll be joining a group of 20 somethings in a hot stuffy room all day to prove he’s still got it. Mad I tell you. Bonkers.
Anyway, please please please add a comment to this post to encourage my dad and wish him well. Mad or not I love him dearly and really hope he passes. I think this will make him the oldest person in the US to ever pass the exam. You can do it dad!!!

Sahar and I are proud to announce the adoption of our first child, Arun Rangsi
Adoption is all the rage these days. Angelina Jolie is doing it, and if it’s good enough for her, who am I to blow against the wind?
Arun Rangsi’s story is the stuff of Hollywood Legend:
“Arun Rangsi was born in 1979 at a California Research laboratory. Abandoned by his mother at birth, he was raised with a substitute mother made of wire to which he clung. Then the laboratory lost the funding for its program, and IPPL Chairwoman Shirley McGreal, acting on a tip-off, rescued him from potential euthenasia. Once he arrived at the IPPL sanctuary, his physical and mental condition greatly improved, thanks to a good diet and lots of love. Today Arun Rangsi lives happily with Shanti, another former laboratory gibbon, and his daughter Speedy.” (From IPPL’s Newsletter “News” - Sept. 2006).
The story ended with a request. “”To keep this sweet, gentle ape happy and healthy, we’d love for you to adopt him.”
How could I resist? In fact, I was amazed as I think I’ve heard of Arun before. I remember reading something about a primate bonding with a wire mother covered in fur. Is this him? I’m still not sure.
In any case, we love him. He obviously shares our key features. He has my eyes and her sense of fashion.
If you don’t have enough apes in your family, you should adopt a gibbon now.
