Dumbledore


I know I am so late getting the news, but!

Found out a moment ago that JK Rowling confessed to the public that Professor Dumbledore the headmaster of Harry Potter's school Hogwarts was gay. When he was 17 years old he fell in love with his friend Gellert Grindelwald who later became a fearsome dark wizard.

I have always admired that Rowling goes over the line of what parents and the church wanna see in a book for children. Personally though I don't think Harry Potter is suited for children, it's a story full of evil, torture and cold blooded murder.

Now people are scared parents will have a spastic attack because of Dumbledore coming out.

Where can one find these brainwashed parents that allow their children to read about a 14 year old boy dragging himself bleeding fiercely and his dead friend away from a graveyard full of sadistic murderers, rather than having one of the good characters a homosexual.

I am wordless. Pleuff!

Streptococcus And Fenoximetylpenicillinkalium

Yes my dear friends, not only the norse languages have long words like mótórhjólalögreglumaður. Latin seems to have them too.

I think the penicillin is working, have pains in my throat still but hope they will be gone tomorrow, getting tired of my room and painkillers.

Lovejúbæ.

Nostalgia

Bone Ache

I have been away from work for two days now because of some stupid flu or something.

I can't be bothered with this, so boring, well mainly boring, I have done fun things too, like watching Heroes and Requiem For A Dream and videos that are supposed to teach you how to solve the Rubik's Cube.



Why isn't the keyboard on the computer in alphabetical order? It doesn't make sense, why not mix up the numbers as well?

I have probably lost some 10 liters of sweat since tuesday, well I think tuesday, I am not really sure what day it is today,... Thursday, October 25th,... My calendar tells me I forgot Peter's birthday again. Oh well I am sure it was a good one anyway. Sorry about that.

By the way, my back has been killing me for some time now and since I don't have a doctor I needed to go to the extra doctors in Kópavogur. I came there and the doctor hardly looked at my back, he just gave me pain killers and said that if the pain doesn't go away in 10 days I should go to a specialist. Those words cost me 1.800 kr. My pain killers are almost finished, they haven't worked at all for my back, so I guess I'll have to find that specialist. The pain killers were a dream come true for my flu though, my throat doesn't hurt nearly as much. Hooray for Vóstar-S.

I'm hungry, wish I had a butler or a maid now. Fortunately this flat is tiny so the kitchen is only 5 meters or so away, it will take me just a few seconds to get there, and a lot of headache. Will do that soon,...

Over and out.

Iceland Airwaves 2007

My fourth Iceland Airwaves just finished. Iceland Airwaves is a great music festival
that takes part in October every year in Reykjavík. This year the venues were many and the concerts great. The best of all was that I didn't need to queue (what a strange word) at all this year and the weather was fine.





My favourite bands were:
Slow Club (UK)
Lonely Dear (SE)
Solid Gold (picture) (US)
Hjaltalín (IS)
Múm (IS)
Lay Low (IS)
Trentemöller (DK)
Ra Ra Riot (US)

EEEEmil!


Last weekend IKEA was celebrated it's 1 year birthday in it's new location in Iceland.

I got the job to dress up as the unwillingly bad behaving Emil. For those who don't know who he is,... Emil is a fictional character from on of Astrid Lindgren's books. Astrid also wrote the stories about Pippi Longstocking.

I patrolled IKEA along with a Pippi trying to cheer up the kids by giving them balloons, Swedish flags and sweets. As Pippi and Emil very often behave badly then it was a great opportunity to behave badly while in character,... We had office chair rally, jumped in the beds, drove around in the trolleys, tried all the lamps and ate a lot og sweets!

Money

What can I do to earn some huge extra money? I can't sing or dance so that is not the thing to do.

I really don't want to take huge real loans to be able to study in England next year. Why can't I just get a big student loan?

If only Iceland had the same deal as the EU countries. A swedish citizen gets to pay the same as an englander for a school in England, while Icelanders have to pay many times more.

It's unfair!
