Sirkus is a pretty small but very cool bar in Reykjavík, and in there tonight was so crowded... on a wednesday because of the annual Tom Selleck contest. Tom Selleck is the actor who played Thomas MAgnum in Magnum P.I., he was one of the 3 men with a baby, he played Monica Gellers boyfriend Richard in Friends and much much more.
Tom Selleck is most famous for his supermega cool moustache, and the contest was a moustache competition. My very good friend Heiddi Huu took part and was so much like Tom but because of bad judgement he didn´t win. Maybe next year my dear Mr. Huu!!
Me and Kolbrún (she is the girl with the multicolor hair, hehe) had even made t-shirts with MR HUU on them... It was so much fun though, wish i had had a HORMOTTA myself...

press vs. press
Right now there is a big argument in icelandic press. The icelandic troubadour Bubbi Morthens has lately been mocked by the gossip magazines in Iceland. Some journalists are against the newest trend in icelandic journalism, the finding-small-skeletons-in-peoples-closets-and-blowing-them-up (well it´s not a new thing but it just got too much)
Once upon a time Séð & Heyrt was the bad guys in icelandic press but now DV and Hér & Nú have taken over and Séð & Heyrt is now like a little goldfish feels very smallnext to the gigantic killer whale Hér & Nú.
I think that the press has sunken too low when the head lines are about cheating, cigarette smoking and an old man being able to pee again without trouble.
One of the headlines told that Bubbi had failed..., everyone in iceland know that he used to be a drug addict, and the headline sounded like he had begun taking drugs again. Inside the magazine you found the headline again, and the text under it said that Bubbi had started smoking again. The thing is that Bubbi started smoking cigarettes more than a year ago and even I knew that. So it is obvious that Hér & Nú was indeed trying to let people think he had failed big time.
One of the journalists working for Hér & Nú Eiríkur has dumped a huge shit and instead of flushing and doing the right thing confessing his mistake and apologizing in TV tonight, he made the problem bigger by covering the shit with toiletpaper and saying that the headline was not supposed to make you think Bubbi had started taking drugs again. Now he can´t use the toilet without making the mess bigger... or having to face the stinking unpleasant problem and remove the shit!!
If you as a barista think you need to cover the cappuccinos you make with cacao-powder... maybe you should learn how to make good coffee... and if you call yourself a journalist and need to make people look bad in your articles, maybe you should change career!
Of course there are still good multimedias in Iceland and great journalists. Hopefully the bad ones realize that they are in the wrong business and disappear for good!!

Church vs. Homosexualism
Before I start this blog I wanna tell you that I am not thinking about getting married in the nearest future... my new relationship is not the reason I am writing this... Just saw a depate about it in the news yesterday.
How does the holy church and it´s priests make their decisions? And can they really say that what they are doing is in the name of God?
Once upon a time women couldn´t become priests or bishops, still today I don´t think women can become popes. Men and women didn´t sit on the same side in the church. You couldn´t have sex before marriage. You couldn´t have sex on sundays, wednesdays and fridays, not 40 days before easter and christmas, the whole pregnancy and up to 40 days after the birth. Only virgins could wear a white wedding dress.
Those things, were they what God decided? Why did he then tell the people those rules didn´t count any more. Did the church perhaps decide it without asking God?... I never heard that God decided that a woman could become a priest, I think it was mortal men who decided it...
Iceland was the first country to have a female president, Iceland has equal rights for women and men on most subjects, in Iiceland everyone has the right to go to school even though some don´t use their right and some can´t.
Iceland is very modern in so many ways, BUT the lates fashion in human rights is gay marriage. I really love Iceland and think Iceland is the best is most ways, Iceland is so liberal... so why were we not the first to legalise gay marriage?? Why not do it now?? I know we will some day, why not be cool and be one of the first?? One seventh of the population watches Gay Pride in Iceland... at least 40.000 people are gay friendly!

Hæ hó og jibbí jei!!
I´m sitting here in front of my computer on the 19th of June.
Stomach: Almost full
Heart beat: Regular
Bladder: Half full
Hair colour: Blond
Mood: Very happy, a bit sad and madly in love... yes you heard me I am tremendously in love.
My excellent Shetland friend Gregor has on this moment just left Iceland, he came flying here on 00.01 on the National Day the 17th together we have had a perfect weekend and he has won my heart with his kindness and caring. And I think I have won his too :S
I never thought this would happen to little unprotected me... but I´m glad it did... and hope you are too.

Trabant...
Went to see the icelandic band Trabant on Grand Rokk on concert yesterday. They are so great on concert, they were all covered in glimmer and the singer was wearing red tight jeans and red glittering stars on his nipples... grrr... hehe
I went there with loads of people from Kaffitár... before we went there we went to Brynja the Barista´s farewell party, she is going to London. We barbecued and danced a lot.
