This is a photo of one of the Westman Islands, off the coast of Iceland. I’ve seen it tumbled quite a few times over the past few days by various people wishing they could live there.  At first, I was like “Man, TOTALLY.  I so wish I could live there.” But let’s look at the logistics: - There’s probably no internet on this island, and despite all your claims, I know all you fuckers love the internet. - I can’t verify this, but I bet there’s probably no service for your cellphone.  How the hell are you going to play Words With Friends and check in on Foursquare? - You have to hop on a boat to get to the main Westman Island.  From there, it’s a TWO-HOUR-AND-FORTY-FIVE-MINUTE ferry ride to the mainland of Iceland. - I also have serious doubts about the electricity situation on this island.  So your record player won’t even work here. So, before we all jump to saying we want to live here, let’s be realistic and say “visit.. you know, for a weekend, until I got all twitchy without the internet”. That said, if anyone wants to go to Iceland and visit this thing (along with the thousand other cool things Iceland has to offer), let’s do it! EDIT: According to some research I did, it appears this house belongs to Bjork.  FUCK IT, LET’S LIVE THERE!

I’ve seen it tumbled quite a few times over the past few days by various people wishing they could live there.  At first, I was like “Man, TOTALLY.  I so wish I could live there.”

But let’s look at the logistics:

- I can’t verify this, but I bet there’s probably no service for your cellphone.  How the hell are you going to play Words With Friends and check in on Foursquare?

- You have to hop on a boat to get to the main Westman Island.  From there, it’s a TWO-HOUR-AND-FORTY-FIVE-MINUTE ferry ride to the mainland of Iceland.
