Happy Harry With A Red Nose


I have started one more bad habit again, yesterday I forgot my computergame at work and what was I supposed to do? In front of me on the desktop of my laptop there was 4 computerized copies of Harry Potter 1-4. So now I am starting again.

We had a staff meeting tonight in Kringlan and it was brilliant, staff meetings can help your menthal health, I really needed one tonight. Yesterday I ran out of the café in anger and calmed myself reading the big book about dragons. Hope the staff (including me) will work better together from now on, KOMA SVO!

The actor Björn Ingi Hilmarsson became my favourite cappuccino-customer today when he grabbed a spoonful of chocolate to put over his cappuccino but put it back into the chocolate glass when he saw what a beautiful pattern I had made!

Friday is the red nose day people and the HIV/AIDS day too. Be red and kind to those who need it!

Mútta Krútta


Today my mother gets just a little bit further from the age 25 than yesterday. I genes she has done quite well in spreading them over the world. Her children live here and there and everywhere and still we manage to meet all together once in a while. Sadly I haven't got a date for the next time I'll see her but hopefully soon.

Til hamingju með afmælið mamma!

P.S. I made this picture last spring... and now the bag mum has on her shoulder is mine! She gave it to me and I use it every day!

The Old Icewitch


My little sister has a big birthday today. Birna is thirty years old but I tell you she has used them well,... she is married, has two/three children, a dog, a huge house with a huge lawn, two cars and loads of other stuff... (no her husband is not a kind of sugardaddy Hugh Heffner)

Anyway congrats sis have a great one!

Frau Sigrún Edmund here, welcome to my den of brainmeats! Guest blogging. Watching Herr Sandra closing, fun fun fun.... (memo to self: give Erling a genuine german name.... maybe this is the long lost Olaf?.... just saying....) Wonder about the trick of light abused by far to fagg-ish christmas decoration of the icelandic mall, silvery glitterthings break light into the basic colors (proof of formerly mentioned accusation of decoration being fagg-ish? I give you exhibit A: colors consist of all of gay-pride colors, that is red, orange, yellow, green, blue and finally purple), I believe the officials of mall want to cover their not-obviously-enough straight liberal asses by exaggerating the color red in said fagg-ish glitterboat... f-ing communists....

Might I titillate thine kittenloving inner child? One poor little cat (obese, wide eyed and neurotic) needs a home, wicked witch of the green (sorry mum) does not care for said feline and wants to evict him so i ask you dear reader... do you want a widdle kitty? ;D Come ooooon.... Come OOOOON......!

Hmmm.... must remember to feed pigmy in living room, he seems a bit pekish... silly midget.

Mrs. Sigrún Edmund has spoken...

Sugarcubes!!

This friday the Sugarcubes will have a consert in fabulous freezing Reykjavík... Allthough I shouldn't go because of future plans and dreams... I still bought a ticket and am going... might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Last night me and two friends made pictures on t-shirts, wow! The t-shirts are so cool!

I think costumers are more friendly to baristas and other people in service jobs if the baristas+ are wearing their own clothes. Today the costumers were actually nice many of them... it was too cold to wear the Kaffitár t-shirts so we were all wearing our own jumpers... maybe people were just to cold to be evil.

It Is Time...


I finally pushed myself out of bed at 12.34 this morning happy about being off work and took the Heidi-jump-walk down to freezing 101 Reykjavík (not the hotel).

When the town was reached I had to decide where to go,... I wanted either a good coffee, ginger ale or a nice fruit smoothie. Hljómalind used to be my favourite café but now they have incense (reykelsi) which I am allergic to and cannot stay in there without being dizzy and have a sore throat. My next choice was Kaffitár Bankastræti,... guess what christmas is getting closer and they have lit the vanilla scented coffee candle so no more Bankó for me this year. The stupid Þrallur went to Kaffitár in the National Gallery after that hoping that they had no vanilla candle there and of course it was closed, most galleries are closed on Mondays here. Kaffitár in the National Museum flew away from my mind as well since that is also closed on Mondays.

So now I was so hungry that I just stormed into the next bakery, had a ostaslaufa and then ran through Bankó grabbed a regular coffee to go, with two icecubes, ran out again and straight to Babalú sipped some coffee, threw the cup away and went in.

Now I am sitting in Babalú with a glas of orange juice... they were out of both their awesome smooties and the ginger ale...

I guess this is just not my day! haha! I think the icelandic Amelie needs to move again...

Immune


November is here again and this year I don't feel the usual hate and anger when I see the christmas decoration popping up everywhere in the shops. Kringlan is fully decorated and Hagkaup too but I don't care, christmas decoration has lost it's meaning for me, i am totally immune. I don't know whether the hatred for early christmas songs has faded that we wil know in three weeks.

This weekend we celebrated Héðinn at work because he is now finally 20 years old and can buy his own alcohol at bars and stores. His party had the theme "Héðinn" and it was quite fun, I realized that we dress quite similar just different colours and I never wear shirts. I just dressed up in my own clothes, a cardigan that Gregor left in Iceland and a big black afro-wig (couldn't find any blond lightly wavy ones)

This weekend Reykjavík had a storm and it was just crazy walking outside, I was wet everywhere and my window at home cried all night, Eeeeeeeh!

More later...
