Every single time I hear the Nokia ringtone, this is what I think about:

2007-08-13T11:25:00.000+01:00

So I was racing at a Grasstrack race on Saturday along with my friend Rory and wrote up this report on the South Dublin Motocross forums and thought I´d include it here as well:

There were 24 riders in my class which was MX1 and MX2 C class driven together since there werent that many riders in total.

1st Moto
When the gates dropped for the first moto I got a very good start and was in 5th position out of the first corner. I cut the second corner a bit wide and 2 more slipped past me but at the end of the first lap I was sitting in 7th position with a bit of distance to the next rider behind me and Rory sitting in 10th.

On my second or third lap I made a mistake coming around one of the corners and went sliding sideways in the muck.
Rory and 6 of his friends showed no respect and zoomed past me as I was getting back on the bike.
Although I was pretty spent after the fall I held the 15th position with great help from the roaring sound of a 2stroke trying to get past me at every corner. He didn't and I finished the moto in 15th position.
Rory finished the first moto in 9th position.

2nd Moto
In the second moto we all went roaring towards that first corner and I found myself a bit more in the crowd than the first time.
Coming around the first corner someone stuck out their leg right into my front wheel and again I'm face down in the mud left dead last out of the first corner.

I rode hard since I don't like being last and gradually worked my way past a couple of riders until I reached one who was driving a little bit slower than me but constantly blocked me when I tried to pass.
When we finally got to the straight down the hill I had him and went for it flat out. As I was passing him on the left hand side at the fastest part of the track your man decides to change lines (unless he was stupid enough to try to block me there) which resulted in me hitting the handlebars off some part of him or his bike.
Needless to say I got a bit of air, a couple of rolls and ended it all in an elegant mudslide.

My never-cutting-out YZF lay there on the ground still running so after asking the other rider what the bleep he was thinking and having him shout obscenities at me, me and my Yammie took off again to finish that moto, quite surprisingly at 18th place.

At the end of the day we all left with a smile (and aching body in my case) after another great day of racing!

So why would Daniel want to take up Motocross racing?

1. It's really, really, insane fun.

This blog is in desperate need of a new post so here it is.

Just wanted to share with you what we went and bought last weekend! Can't wait to get her out on the track, hopefully later this week.

Things are good otherwise, more updates later on.

2006-11-21T22:14:00.000Z

Svo her er myndin sem fer med fyrri postinum

Thess ma gaeta ad Iris aeldi thrisvar sinnum a thessari einkar skemmtilegu aefingu sem samanstod adallega af thvi ad hlaupa og skrida i ledjunni...

Hoo-ya!

2006-11-17T13:16:00.000Z

Hoo-Yah!

Gaman ad sja ad thad er eitthvad lid ad vappast her um og lesa.

Nu erum vid buin ad fara a 5 Bootcamp aefingar (2 a viku thridjudaga og fimmtudaga) og hardsperrurnar eru ekki jafn slaemar og i fyrstu tho theim virdist alltaf takast ad finna nyja vodva til ad aefa svo hardsperrur virdast komnar til ad vera.

Thjalfararnir okkar eru hermenn og their eru i asnalega godu formi.

Aefingar eru mjog mismunandi, sumar fara fram utandyra og sumar ad hluta uti og hluta inni i taekjasal.

Thad er engin hvildarstada, vid eigum ad vera ad hreyfa okkur allan timann :). Stundum springur madur og verdur ad fa ser vatnssopa eda eitthvad en svona er thetta...

Hopurinn var ordinn svo stor ad thau akvadu ad skipta i 2 hopa, einn sem er 18:30-19:30 og annan 19:30-20:30. Upptekid folk sem vid erum akvadum vid ad fara i 19:30 timann sem er cool thvi thad eru faerri i honum.

Thessi vika hefur verid svona:

A thridjudaginn var Owen ad thjalfa okkur. Thad voru tonleikar i ithrottahusinu sem vid erum alltaf vid thannig ad vid gatum ekki notad bilastaedid og vorum thvi a rugby vellinum sem er moldarflag. Owen sagdi okkur i sidustu viku ad maeta i gomlu aefingafotunum.

Adur en vid logdum af stad spurdi Iris hvort eg vildi ekki fara i svortu joggingbuxunum minum. Eg hugsadi ekki mikid ut i thetta og svaradi: "Nei thaer eru ekki jafn flottar" og for i hvitum buxum og hvitum bol. - Ahhhh gamli godi hegominn.

Owen hlo mikid ad theim okkar sem maettu i einhverju hvitu og byrjadi ad lata okkur hlaupa ut um allt, ska yfir vollinn, beint yfir vollinn, kringum vollinn. Standa i hring a midjunni med andlitid ut og spretta i beina linu thangad til vid komumst ekki lengra og spretta til baka. Aftur i hring a sama stad, 2 stor skref til haegri og aftur sama. Thetta gerdum vid thangad til vid vorum komin meira en heilan hring (skrefin til haegri). Stuttur sprettur, laaangur sprettur, stuttur sprettur uuufffff.
Eg var nokk anaegdur med ad thad hafdi ekki rignt yfir daginn svo tho vollurinn vaeri ekkert aedi tha var madur ekkert ad sokkva i ledju.

Tha let Owen okkur leggjast a magann krossleggja hendur og draga okkur afram a hondunum an thess ad nota lappirnar (svona hermanna-style eins og madur ser tha skrida undir gaddavir i Bootcamp i biomyndunum).
Buxurnar minar eru bunar ad fara 3 i thvottavelina og thad eru enntha moldarblettir i theim.
Tokum mynd af mer thegar vid komum heim, skelli henni herna inn i kvold eda a morgun.

I gaerkvoldi vorum vid svo med Declan. Declan virdist ekkert rosa massadur en gaejinn er i fantaformi. Tok vist thatt i svona Hill-Run hlaupi i Dublin Mountains a sidasta ari. Hann aefdi sig ekki neitt. Skradi sig bara og maetti. Af 130 keppendum var hann attundi i mark...

Declan let okkur hita upp uti med skokki og einhverjum sprett aefingum. Svo forum vid inn i taekjasal thar sem vid forum svona "circuit". Vid attum s.s. ad fara i eitthvad taeki eda aefingu (lod, boxpudar, rodrarvelar, armbeygjur, magaaefingar etc.) og gera thad thangad til hann sagdi ok, skipta. Adur en vid forum yfir i naesta taeki attum vid ad gera 10 hnehopp (veit ekki hvad thetta heitir a islensku, hoppa hatt upp og lyfta badum hnjanum jafnt).

I endann let hann okkur svo gera fullt af armbeygjum og halda okkur uppi med bukinn i armbeygjustodu en hendurnar fyrir framan bringuna, haldandi okkur uppi a olnbogunum.

Horkuerfidar aefingar i hvert skipti en oootrulega gaman og vid erum ekki fra thvi ad einhver arangur se farinn ad lita dagsins ljos.
Vid erum ad sjalfsogdu buin ad laga mataraedid rosa mikid og erum mjog dugleg ad halda okkur vid thad.

Umhaldid virdist samt ekki jafn hardcore og a Islandi og thad eru engar maelingar gerdar eda matarplon eda neitt thannig en vid Iris sjaum bara um tha deild sjalf, keyptum meira ad segja flottan fitumaeli a Ebay sem aetti ad vera a leidinni i posti!

Va, buinn ad vera heillengi med thennan post a milli thess sem eg vinn og eg nenni ekki ad lesa yfir. Thid hafid allavegana uttekt a Bootcampinu!

Hulda og Finnbogi eru bodin velkomin sem opinberir lesendur thessa bloggs :p.

We know some people in Iceland who have told us good things of Bootcamp.

Since we believe discipline is something this home lacks we have decided to trust military trainers with our fitness from the 2nd of November until Christmas.

So we've found and signed up for Bootcamp in Ireland

We'll see how it goes

2006-09-18T22:28:00.000+01:00

Conversation:

I: No, that's the Gigabytes.
L: Oh is that what makes it go faster?
I: No that's the Megabytes.
L: OK, and how many do you have?
I: 512 and that's like, fine.

L: and what takes up all the space?
I: That's the porn.

2006-09-02T18:43:00.000+01:00

This is not the best video in the world but it is damn funny.

This video is NOT safe for work and contains nudity and so on. You have been warned.

2006-09-02T14:35:00.000+01:00

This is currently the best video in the world !

Just gets better, but then it gets done :(.

2006-08-26T14:53:00.000+01:00

Here´s the first out of a couple of Vlog's I'll be doing since we were in New York.

Sorry for the really bad angle !

2006-07-07T11:32:00.000+01:00

YES !

Iris just called me from work to tell me that our new camera has arrived !

I was told by ChicoRockstar (Escape.is on the right hand side) that the Ixus 65 was a good camera and after reading a little bit about it I started looking on Ebay and ended up winning a bid for it !

You can read about it here.

So now you can expect some new Vlogs !!!

People have been asking for photos of the new appartment so we might just show that to you.

2006-06-29T21:36:00.000+01:00

We have now found and booked a hotel. Across the street from Central Park.

It's gonna be Craaaaazy!

I think we're gonna be all like:

All over New York !

2006-06-25T14:41:00.000+01:00

Finally we have entered the 21st Century and got a Credit card !

The first thing we bought were the flight tickets to New York in August.

Yes, we will be visiting the U.S. for the first time from 1-10 of August !
The main reason of our trip is to go to the Fellowship Of The Spirit conference which we've been wanting to go to since 2002 !
You can read about it here.

We don't have a place to stay yet and are trying to find a hotel for a reasonable price although I'm not sure that exists over there. There's either the hotels which you know are very good (Intercontinental etc.) but there you pay 300$+ pr night.
Then we have the cheaper hotels but we don't know the neighbourhoods and are only looking at the hotels online so it's a bit of a gamble.

So if you know your way around New York or know someone there who could help us then feel free to let us know !!!

We will be buying a digital camera over there so you can expect some more Vlogs and photos getting posted.

Life is good.

2006-06-05T13:11:00.000+01:00

No excuse but Lazyness !

Yes, we have been extremely busy but still...

We're doing good, B&B came and visited us a couple of weeks ago and we had loads of fun . They are now booked for a yearly visit. They just don't know that yet...

We got insurance for the car - Finally (haven't been able to use it until the beginning of May!).

I have a theory about the lack of blogging:

Firstly, Iris is very very lazy as can be seen by the .5 percent of posts she's signs for on this blog.

As for myself, I started off Vlogging and then the camera broke down as can be seen on the second Vlog. Vlogging is much more fun than actual blogging so thats why... Yeah, yeah that's it... So it's all Iris' and the camera's fault !

Who knows, might just go ahead and buy a new camera soon.

I blame the lack of news on this site entirely on the fact that we were moving and don't have internet access at the new place yet.
I sincerely hope nobody is getting suicidal from the dissapointment and feeling of rejection that this surely is causing all our readers out there.

We will return in no more than a fortnight with exciting news from the land of Lepricorns and Guinness beer.

Until then Icelandic speaking readers (or those contemplating suicide as we speak) can maybe get more frequent updates here: http://ogedslegatoff.blogspot.com/

C yaaaahh

2006-04-03T17:04:00.000+01:00

I just got a neck & shoulder massage at my desk...

My new job is sweeeet.

2006-02-25T17:14:00.000Z

Daniel and Iris got a Red Hot Car !

Really sorry for the crappy vid quality, the camera is obviously dying. We'll get a new one as soon as we can.

Everything and nothing

So I quit my job !

Long long story, but to sum up:
They made promises before hiring me - I found out they weren't true - I called them on it - They told me I would have the opportunity of maybe working my way up to another team where I would get a better level of training (but still not to the point I was told) - I quit - They're charging me relocation fees of almost 2000 Euros.

Result: HP and Manpower seem to do business in a very sleazy way...

I'll see what happens in all this and probably will post the whole story here someday, although I doubt the 1,6 readers of the site will be very amused.

Upside: I got a job with Dell, who are apparently much more serious, proposed to take me on to the Server support team but, if everything goes well, I'll be looking at a promotion after 6 months.
And they pay me a lot better.

Is anyone reading this ?

What's that sound ?
Just finished listening to Boards of Canada - Twoism.
Very good, need to listen to it again to digest. Might actually be a masterpiece and I just haven't realized yet...

Just started listening to Jose Gonzales - Veneer
Have only listened to two songs so far but can't say I'm impressed. I'm still giving it a shot though and will continue listening on my way home from work.
The Sony TV commercial has to be one of the best commercials ever, 250.000 bouncing balls - No computer gimmicks, just real bouncing balls, bouncing down a street in San Francisco.
Jose Gonzales' guitar provides the strange relaxed-and-happy sensation I get when I watch that ad.

2006-01-11T08:59:00.000Z

Happy New Year

So, 2005 was fairly eventful for us...

In the end of April we finally got to move to Aix en Provence in the south of France, which is the place we were headed for when we left Iceland. Obviously God's plan was a bit different, seeing as we made a 2 year stop in Paris on our way there but we're glad we did. We made a lot of friends and had a really good time living in Paris.

We had a great summer, spent a lot of time on the Cote d'Azur, went to Monaco and Perpignan and had lots of fun. We still have tan lines !

So why did we leave ?

I was tired of being away all the time (I probably spent 60-70% of weekdays traveling) so I started looking around for a new job. I saw a job that looked interesting but was based in Dublin, Ireland. After discussing it with Iris I sent my CV and from that point things happened very fast and 4 weeks later we were out of the country.
Although the south of France is a beautiful place and fun to be, Iris wasn't working and it looked like she would just end up working in a hotel or something like that, something she doesn't really plan on making a career out of. Also, AA is very small down there and not having any AA work to do had a big say in this decision.
After we started looking at Ireland we saw that this place is full of exciting opportunities for both of us and that we would be able to live a good life over here and advance our careers.

So here we are and we're not disappointed.

I guess we had a lot of changes in 2005, the most (only?) difficult one obviously parting with our little boy Amir. At least physically, he's still with us though.

We moved over a grand total of 2674 Kilometres in 2005 and our plan is not to move anytime soon... I think we might just stick to that plan too because we really like it here but then again, we're not the ones in charge here are we ?

If you'd like to come visit just let us know, we have a spare room with a double bed.

2005-12-24T11:52:00.000Z

We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
and a Happy New Year !

Lots of love to all of you.

The Christmas Kids (in ICELAND!).

2005-12-12T17:15:00.000Z

Do you believe in change ?

I do.

I guess I'm a living example.

In 15 hours Stanley "Tookie" Williams will be executed in San Quentin prison, California.
Tookie has been nomitated 5 times for the Nobel Peace Prize and 4 times for the Nobel Literature Prize.

In 2004 the movie Redemption, starring Jamie Foxx as Tookie, came out telling Tookie's story. I recommend you watch this movie.

I'm hoping with all my heart that Schwarzenegger will pardon this guy.

The man is living proof of change and has been trying to right his wrongs, as much as that can be done, by giving back into the community (from his prison cell), telling his story to young people around the U.S. and writing books that deglorify the gang and prison life (tell it like it is).

Check it out

Peace

Christmas is coming !

There was a big smile on this boy's face when he stepped outside at 7:35 this morning.

I looked around and saw a thin layer of white on the cars as The Kinks played Lola on my iPod. My 20 minute walk to work was really nice this morning, the highlights being Lola and Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene 4.
It snowed last night and kept snowing a little bit today.

I've been fighting off the christmas feeling that comes when the shops start decorating and you hear christmas songs in the shopping centres. I feel that if I start too early it just won't last till Christmas.
Our home is allowed to start preparing for christmas and play christmas songs on the first weekend of the advent.
That's this weekend and, obviously controlled by higher powers, OUR STUFF ARRIVED LAST NIGHT.
Ahh yes, that means all our music, clothes, pots and pans and COMPUTERS (PC and PS2) are finally with us again. I believe the most anticipated things are the PC, Christmas decorations and pots and pans, in that order.

Talking about Christmas, this small family will be having their first "proper" Christmas since 2002 this year. Yes, we'll be in Iceland from the 21 to the 28 of December.
Christmas dinner will be made and served in the home of the best cook in the world.

Here's a really cool video to get you into the spirit (needs sound).

Ch-ch-ch-ch-CHANGES

As you all can see I've had a lot of free time at work today...

This is not done, I'll probably add more links and maybe change the template a bit.

One big change is that this blog now comes with Google ads !
Please note that these will not be active for a week or two
This means ads will appear just under the picture at the top and if you guys click on these ads we will get some money (for each click and viewing of an ad).
If you want to help us out, don't hesitate to click on these ads every time you come in here, doesn't cost a thing for you but gains us a couple of cents in the piggy bank every time you click.

Billy Idol was sooooooooo good but I'm still recovering from all the noise and screaming.

We should get our stuff next week and internet should be connected sometime within the next 10 business days. Can't wait !

2005-11-03T11:33:00.000Z

DUBLIN ROCKS!

I like this already, everybody is soo nice here and the city is full of life! but thats not all folks I have found the higher meaning of us coming here, no I didn't turn catholic, but on the 9th of November a lifelong dream (well at least a very old dream) will come true!! I am going to a BILLY IDOL concert!!!! how fucking(I can say fuck all I want now because I'm living in Ireland and here everybody does it) great is that! So if you hear about someone who got up on the stage, kissed Billy all over and tried to rip his clothes off......that would be yours truly (and don't be surprised if Daniel is in on it)

And now for other news, we found an appartment so now I've started looking for work.
We move in next monday, it's a small 2 bedroom appartment just near Daniels work in a great appartment area with a gym and a beauty salon just next door....how great am I gonna look?!?!?! but the best thing about this appartment is that it has a dishwasher which is just soooo good for lazy microwave eating people like us.....and its even got a fireplace to keep us warm in the winter time...cooozzy...

but I better keep on looking for a job so hugs n' kisses to ya'll

2005-10-30T17:16:00.000Z

Dublin is cool. Literally.
The people here are really laid back and nice. You go to the store and they don't say good morning, good afternoon or good evening. No no, they say "Hi" or, more often, "How are ya?".
I like it and I like it a lot.

We went to a meeting the other day and, as I was just about to fall asleep over the endlessly boring selection of crap, this older guy speaks up and starts talking about the book and the program. Before I heard him I was seriously scared, thinking maybe all of it was like this here in Dublin but we went for coffee with him and another guy and learned that they have a good group of Big Book thumpers around here.
I'm gonna sign up so I can go with them to have meetings in the prisons in Dublin. I can't wait.
We're gonna go to a Big Book thumper meeting for the first time tonight, these meetings are saturdays and tuesdays but since yesterday was holiday over here the saturday meeting was off.

Whoooopeeee.

Smell you later

2005-10-23T15:23:00.000+01:00

Hello Hello,

We have arrived !
We are now in an internet cafe in Dublin looking for appartments and checking our mail (how people actually live without internet we do not know).

Our arrival yesterday was disappointing to say the least. These relocators were really not doing a good job (HP have an external company handle all the relocations for them). But hey, we should be getting used to that since nothing seems to ever go right when we move or do just about anything.

Despite the problems of yesterday we have a good feeling about this place and think we'll have a good time here. No more French stiffness !
This morning we got on the bus and when we wanted to buy tickets realized you had to have the exact change, the driver just took off (without throwing us out first) and said not to worry, asked how much we have and when we told him we only and euro bills (notes in English), he said it wasn't a problem. We then asked him where to get out for the city centre and he just called us when we were there and pointed out to us the main shopping street and another street which has good restaurants and gave us a street map (probably his map because it was used, definitely not some stock he has in the bus...).
The chances of this happening to you in Paris, or anywhere else in France are very close to nil.

We'll keep you posted.

2005-09-30T22:21:00.000+01:00

Start spreading the news...

Yep, we're leaving !

And the next stop in the Daniel and Iris world tour is... Dublin!

Now I'm pretty sure I know one man who's happy/proud of this decision of ours and hopefully this means we'll get to see him soon !

Now, after telling a couple of people this, we have been getting a lot of "But I thought you were so happy in France" and so on so I feel there's need for an explanation, or more of a clarification actually:

This is the Daniel and Iris world tour

We left Iceland because we wanted to see the world and the world does not end in the south of France.
We always talked about staying maybe for 2-3 years in France, once we moved down south we talked about staying here for maybe a year or two and then go somewhere else. Of course we would like to buy a house down here but that won't be in the immediate future.

Right now, Dublin is really interesting. Hewlett Packard have offered me a job doing high level tech support for their French Enterprise customers supporting servers and networks (not really a hotline, maybe treating 4-5 incidents a day max). They will fly us out there, put us up in an appartement for four weeks and give me a "Relocation bonus".

The facilities at HP are great, this center has won best support center in Europe for the last 3 years (chosen amongst 800 support centers by an independent agency), there is a gym that's open 24/7, Cybercafe etc etc.

Iris has applied for a job with Google and has started sending her CV out to other companies. She'll have no problem with getting a job out there since a lot of big international companies have their European HQ there (Dell, HP, Google and Apple to name a few).

This is all happening very fast and I will start my new job on the 24th of October.

Facts:

Ireland has only 20% income tax and it's automatically deducted from your paycheck each month (yayyyy let's leave the French bureaucrats!).

Dublin is the youngest city in Europe (age of habitants).

Dublin is one of the most expensive cities in Europe, just under Paris in average cost of living.

Ireland is the first country in Europe to ban smoking in public.

We'll keep you posted on how this goes.

Now if there's anyone (other than Jorgen) reading this blog, please comment.

One more thing, I don't know if I've already blogged about this but check out my last.fm profile.
Basicly this is a plugin that I've put on Winamp (what I use to listen to music on my laptop) that transfers the names of songs I listen to to this site.
I think it's pretty cool that I can check out a site of a friend or even a stranger and get names of new interesting groups or just check out what people are listening to (if people I actually know take this up). You can see the name of the song as soon as I have finished listening to it (only lists the songs I listen to from beginning to end).

Also, after listening to a certain number of songs, it starts classing my "musical neighbours" meaning people who listen to similar music as myself, permitting me to browse through their song lists and thus discovering new bands etc.

I'm going to install the plugins for iTunes at home and the iPod, although this will become somewhat of a shared profile between me and Iris in doing that.

Now I'm done

2005-09-29T20:05:00.000+01:00

So it seems as if I've been tagged.

I don't really know what to tell you but I'll give it a shot.

1. Vanity is my middle name...

2. I cannot get a haircut I like... Vanity does not like that...

3. I'm scared of flying and afraid of heights.

4. I think coming from Iceland is really special... and cool.

5. I'm really really spontaneous... Current events are a very good example of this.

I'm tagging or "clocking" like I prefer (what's up nowwwww biatch) Jorgen ( in Icelandic) and my dear uncle Ziggie Stardust

I won't blog about it tonight but there are some very big changes going on with us right now, the public press release will probably be done tomorrow night or this weekend so check back.

Stay fresh kids

Quick Rene, ze Germanz are cumming.....

The Resistance
Achtung! You are 38% brainwashworthy, 18% antitolerant, and 42% blindly patriotic

Welcome to the Resistance (Der Widerstand)! You believe in freedom, justice, equality, and your country, and you can't be converted to the the dark side.

Breakdown: your Blind Patriotism levels are borderline unhealthy, but you show such a love of people from everywhere and a natural resistance to brainwashing, you would probably focus your energy to fight the Fuehrer with furor, so to speak.

Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would have taken up ARMS against the oppressors. Or even your friends' oppressors. Congratulations!

Less than 5% of all test takers earn a spot in the Resistance!

The Would You Have Been A Nazi? Test

- it rules -

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 53% on brainwashworthy
You scored higher than 13% on antitolerant
You scored higher than 62% on patriotic

I´ve been tagged !

By my soon to be lawyer friend, I guess she´s already practicing how to be annoying;) So now I´m supposed to write 5 facts about myself....yeah! Well here goes

I like animals more than I like people

I´ve only once fallen in love and before that I didn´t understand what it means to be in love with someone

I can not sleep if doors or closets are open

I tend to act first and think later

I am sometimes the only one that gets my jokes

Well since I am just to cool for all that tagging stuff I´m just gonna tag everyone that reads this and Daniel

Found and stolen from a blog.

European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k".

This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou"
and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza.

Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

FU** ME I'M FAMOUS

No I'm not really, so don't! I just couldn't think of another title, now how is that for a dirty mind...Long time since last blog not a lot has happened but then again a lot of things have happened just don't know how interesting they are to you....or to me for that matter.
I'm sitting inside listening to thunder and rain, it's been like that for a week now ( as in thunder and rain...I've been out of the house actually)and I must admit I'm more of a sunshine person.
I've been watching the tv and surfing the net on and off today and I feel like I've been through a timemachine and landed four years back...(for those of you who have no contact with the outside world... 9/11, Bush, Bin Laden, War)come on people..ok ok it was sad and all that but it happened four years ago....get over it allready! innocent people are dying every fucking day because of terrorist and the stupid guy called Mr. President of the USA and that doesnt seem to be nearly as much of a tragedy as that 9/11 thing...... but enough about that, maybe it just bothers me because its my birthday tomorrow and this is drawing the attention from that great event

I still haven't got a job, which sucks, but I'm sure something good will come along.
However I've been getting involved in tha buddhist community here and will be receiving my Gohonzon hopefully at the end of this month so a lot of good things are happening.

Well gotta get going, I'm gonna spend a nice night tonight with Daniel and Amir since we don't have time to celabrate my birthday tomorrow, so I am expecting chocolate cake and ice cream...

So everybody who follows the tech world knows about the (very soon forgotten) Grand Theft Auto sex scandal that's been going on recently.
Basicly it's about this hidden code in the game that some dutch programmer found and wrote a small script to unlock.
What this horrible code does is allow you to have sex with your girlfriend in the game.
I have the Playstation version of the game but not the PC one so I haven't tested this for myself but apparently you don't see much detail, it's just pretty obvious what they are supposed to be doing...

I was talking about this with Chico Rockstar the other day and also read this and I couldn't agree more.

The game actually is about killing people, stealing cars, killing cops (or just anyone you see if you feel that way) and people get all worked up about the fact that it contains sex scenes.
I can shoot off someones head or kill them with a chainsaw but sex might corrupt my frail mind and give me ideas, if I'm mentally unstable enough I might even go do these things in real life right?

The Magic Suit

The French word for suit is "Costume", used both for suit and costume (yeah, like halloween costume).

When I put on my suit is when it begins. You don't get taken nearly as seriously in life (at least in French life) when you're not wearing a suit and I've found this to apply wherever I am, if it be in a hotel with a client or at the train station buying my ticket. I get called sir a lot more often in a day where I'm wearing my suit.

I believe realising this has had the effect on me that I actually gain a lot of confidence as soon as I put on my suit.

When I have it on and go to a hotel where an IT guy from the company that takes care of the hotel shows up in jeans I immediately have the upper hand. This is just the way it works in France. I'm stamped as a professional before I say a word.

A huge part of my gained confidence is probably the lack of good IT guys in France.
I still haven't ment my match in this mediocre world of lousy IT "professionals".
I don't know if this is general for France or just the hotel business. Maybe this is because of the fact that if you're good you move on really fast here. This means that as soon as someone gets "discovered" they move on up, leaving the hacks behind doing the techie jobs. Yeah, that must be it.

I'm not bragging or anything like that, this is just the way it is.
Don't think I'm complaining either, I love being the best at what I do with my company and wherever I go. I like it when I get to stick it to some cocky french bastard who thinks I don't know anything because I'm so young (I'm 22 and it's not unusual for the French to get their first job ever at 25).
This can get to me as well, getting judged by my age. I think I'll never forget the four star luxury hotel director who decided to take the advice of a couple of Photocopy machine salesmen over mine when we were talking about something way out of their domain.

I'm shutting up I don't even know if this makes sense. Just something I was thinking about today.

Does anyone read this ???? Please comment if you're out there.

2005-07-27T11:58:00.000+01:00

Well I think it might be time to give me some kind of reward for being the worst blogger in the world! I don’t even have an excuse! I don’t even have a fu**ing job so I could basically just sit around and blog all day, pretty sure I would run out of stuff to write about and start making something up already in the first week, but I’m not so sure anyone is reading this anyway so wtf.

But to give you all an update I actually have been pretty busy lately running “Hotel Daniel&Iris” and giving tourist tours to all over (or at least the radius of 200km). And in between I’m just lying in my pool getting tanned, do I need to say that again? Lying in MY POOL getting tanned! That’s right we got a pool in our garden which is pretty great when the temperature goes up to 40-C…
We’ve also been checking out the beaches around and I think we found the perfect one for us, its just near St Tropez and has crystal clear water and white sand and a lot of activities, Daniel and I spent a whole day just playing around there playing ping pong and reading and stuff but you can also rent jet-ski’s and boats and all kinds of stuff which is definitely on our to-do list.
We also drove to Monaco which is about 2hrs away and is kinda´ like Disney land for grown up´s, it was nice seeing it but that’s about it, everything is really beautiful and the yachters are bigger than those you can see in the movies! I wouldn’t mind having a yacht there and just sail around the Mediterranean but I don’t think I would be able to live in Monaco even though it is beautiful and everything there’s nothing special about it, if you know what I mean. There’s no culture visible… in fact the only thing that is visible is tourists and a lot of them! But hey a nice trip anyway, I’m a sucker for Disneyland anyway ;)

Daniel took a 2 week vacation for the first time in 4 years and it was nice getting to spend time together but he’s off working now in Lille for the week and will be spending next week in Evian so its good I have lots of pictures of him to remember him by :þ

I went to my first Buddhist meeting here in France last Saturday! It was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Really great and I look forward to going again and meeting more people and doing volunteer work and all that great stuff that makes me feel good!
I also really really need this now since I don’t have a job and sitting around doing nothing but looking for jobs and cleaning the house is not my idea of living life.

Now that I started writing I’m having a hard time stopping, maybe I should do this more often or maybe I’m just high! We’ve been having painters painting the apartment since yesterday and the smell is killing me….. probably would be more bearable if they had sent Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt over to do the job but then again I might not have let them go again since Daniel is travelling so much, hey a girl needs the company ;)………nah just kidding unfortunately for them I’m hopelessly devoted to the love of my life (to you slow thinkers out there, yes that would be Daniel) so sorry guys it just aint gonna happen!

Hey by the way, for the grace of god and the help of very good people I have been sober for 5 years today!!!that´s like 1/5 of my life!! It works if you work it you die if you don´t :D

Well I better go and watch the painters don’t paint my dog, white just wouldn’t suit him ;)
I promise to put more photos in very shortly

Luv ya guys and gals

When I die, I want my memorial service to look something like this.

Seriously.

I will hold you all accountable for this in the afterlife.

Hello everybody,

What a wonderful trip! One hour into an eleven hour flight the guy next to me drops a FULL cup of coffee over me, getting barely a drop on himself.
I had to stink like coffee for 10 hours and then walk through customs and show up at the luxury hotel I'm staying all covered in coffee stains. Hitch and Anchorman only slightly eased my pain on the flight.

So I'm in Mauritius right now (small island not far from Madagaskar, in the Indian sea) and this place is really cool, I had some free time on sunday and yesterday afternoon and I discovered that there are factories for Diesel, Armani and a bunch of other cool marks here so I spent a little money yesterday, although most of the stuff I bought were local products (bought a really cool Saree which I doubt Iris will ever wear so I have to find some use for it).
I've been working all day cause my DVD finally arrived and I'm a bit behind schedule.

I'm still going to try to go to the market tomorrow morning because the hotel I'm in right now is really close to the center of Port Louis (capital), which has the market and all the cool stores but tomorrow afternoon I'll be going to the second hotel I'll work in which is on the south coast and more of a "resort", on the beach with a 18 hole golf corse etc.

I'll be putting some photos in the photo album when I get home and I also updated the "Photo Album" link on the left here so that it points to the new album.

HelloHello,

I am at the airport in Paris, on my way to the island of Mauritius (in the Indian sea).

I just spoke to the M-E-T-H-O-D MAN!!!! He was on my flight from Marseille this morning and then in a Virgin record store where he was looking for a Skunk Anansie cd (who would have thought?). Anyways I just said a couple of words to him but he was really cool.

I'm out of batteries (and so is my laptop) so I'm gonna go buy a sandwich and look for some electricity.

Here's the hotel I'll be staying at the first 3 nights

Allrighty then

I have arrived!(it´s ok, only certain people are supposed to get that joke) but we have actually arrived, to the south of France where we were heading all along. We came in the end of April and we are not leaving any time soon I tell ya! This is kind of all we hoped it would be, sun shines every day (not counting the thunder storm we had 2 days ago) we have a cute little house (well it´s gonna be when I´m finished with it) and a great garden for Amir to play in all day long and guess what we even have room for a pool in the garden, a room that will be filled pretty soon before we get bbq´ed. Were in a small town about a 10 minutes drive from the big citys and it takes us about 5 minutes to walk out to the forrest........no people I´m not lying I really do live here! Well we at least love it here and I think we might stay a while even, but hey who knows its not us doing the planning anyway. Well I better get back to the cleaning and unpacking (yes I am still doing that for many reasons)...just wanted to say a qiuck hi. I´m gonna try to post a picture of the house seen from the back garden but I´m not sure it will work since blogger is being difficult right now

Peace out

Since I´m opening up in the first place...........

You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.

In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.

WorkSleepWorkSleepWorkSleepWorkSleepWorkWorkWorkWorkSleep (I don't think that last part is even legal).

I've been too lazy to blog about a lot of interesting things lately.

We went south to look at a house.
Iris didn't want to get on the plane to come back to Paris. It's so beautiful down there now we can't wait to get out of grey city. We wanted the house but the owner didn't want a dog...
So now interesting things are happening and obviously we did not get that house for a good reason (to be continued).

I'll be going to Iceland the 11th to 18th of march ! 11 to 13 theres going to be a conference and I'm really looking forward to both getting to a conference (P-O-W-E-R) and some time off (C-H-I-L-L).

I don't know what else to tell you. It's 07:00 in the morning and I've been working since 20:00 last night.

Later alligator

2005-01-13T18:14:00.000Z

Hey, forgot to tell you I got an iPod for christmas!!!!
It's soooo good to be able to listen to music in all these airports and trains, and even while I'm working.

I changed hotels, now I'm in Monaco (yes, just like Bond) and I'm using my room's high speed internet connection to blog this and also watching the 50" flat panel TV integrated into the wall over my desk. They don't have MTV tho...

If it so happens that some of you are filthy rich and would like to try any of these places out the hotel in Monaco can be found here:Port Palace and the one in Cannes can be found here: Carlton Cannes

Off to order me some room service!

The receptionist apparantly didn't have all the information so she tried to charge me around 350€ for room service when I left the Carlton this morning.
I have no problem with spending such amounts on room service but paying is a whole other thing.

2005-01-12T17:28:00.000Z

Hello and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.

To follow up on Iris' Chicblog we ended up having a real Jetset New Years eve.

We ended up at one of France's best known actors' party (he was at least the most payed for 2003!), which apparently was filled with famous actors and Hip-Hop artists but being the nerds we are we didn't recognize anyone but him (and I knew the name of the DJ who was playing as he is one of the best Hip-Hop Dj's in France).

Since then I have been travelling more or less, only being at home on saturdays and sundays...

Now I'm at the Carlton in Cannes, which is a beautiful hotel (Palace actually).The hotel is right on the seaside and it's where all the stars stay when the movie festival is here (their new suites have Movie star names like Sean Connery, Uma Thurman and more).
You need to be some sorts of star to pay for a room like this, the rate of my room is 950€ a night (around 80,000 Icelandic kronur)!

I'm profiting from this while it lasts, ordering room service in the evening and in the morning, I even get the Icelandic newspaper Morgunbladid with my breakfast!

To get back to the real world we have found a house we want in the south and will be going to look at it on the 22nd.

We'll keep you posted but I'm gonna go eat and then I'm gonna take a walk outside, the weather in the south of France is great, I can't wait to be living here.

Hope to see you all soon!

2004-12-30T21:54:00.000Z

And a merry christmas to all!

Before we start receiving any more hatemail for this poorly updated blog I guess I admit myself defeated and write you a few lines.

Christmas was good, very good, a bit different and since christmas is all about traditions (and not at all aboout peace, happiness or the birth of Christ as so many of you thought all along ;) we had a rather hard time feeling the true christmas spirit. We spend christmas eve with a friend of ours eating chicken, very good chicken though, and we then exchanged gifts from one another since all the gifts from our families were still in Iceland, needless to say (I hope) this is not our usual way to spend christmas but who would have guessed! it wasnt so bad after all! Maybe it really is just about the peace and happiness ;) We at least had a great time and got a second christmas monday night when our presents arrived.

And now to the Material Girl side of me :D I love getting presents and we got so much of really cool stuff! First of all Daniel gave me these really "chic" boots which of course will be photographed and published on the site for all of you to admire and envy me of ;) and then we got Singstar! oh yes and we have been singing since (it is actually a good thing we are moving soon because the neighbours are probably on their way to get us thrown out) so just so you know that for those of you planning to visit us, be prepared to sing!

Between screaming into microphones we have just been lying around doing nothin except enjoying christmas and now the newyear partying starts so tomorrow we are invited to an ooh so chic party where I will be wearing my ooh so chic boots so I´ll end this by wishing you a great coming year and thanx to all of you for.........just everything!

Hapy New Year!!!!

The ooh so chic Iris

2004-12-20T12:22:00.000Z

They Live! (also the name of one of the greatest movies of all time)

Yes, we are alive (and still kicking!)

It's OFFICIAL Daniel and Iris will be living in the south of France from april 2005!

Riviera BABY!

But to stay in the moment we're just looking forward to christmas now (which is on Friday 24. for us).
We will be having dinner at my sisters and opening the presents there, this will definitely be different as this will be the first christmas that I'm not eating my mom's food, (no, neither my sister nor Iris can cook like her...).

We're hoping to get Singstar for christmas and I would like to make it known that whoever gives us Singstar (either or both games 1 and/or 2) will automatically gain the status of "Favorite" in our home and therefore have absolute priority on reservation dates for the extra room on the so called "Riviera, Baby" for the year 2005.

If you don't know what Singstar is, you need to get with it!

What's playing:

Christmas songs right and left (although I can't seem to find my x-mas hip hop cd where Easy E sings Merry Motherfucking Christmas, which is by far my favorite christmas song).

Roads of happy destiny to you all!

2004-11-15T09:53:00.000Z

Hey folks, just checking in to let you know that we´re alive and kicking.
No big news though, hey that´s not true! We are probably moving to the south of France nest year, probably around april. Yeah I know you´ve all heard that one before but this time it´s pretty defenite that it will happen but we´ll let you know more when we know more.

Now I´m just pretty excited about tonight!! We are going to a concert with the master himself....oh yes we are going to see Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds tonight! For those of you that do not know, this man is no less than worshipped in this home so tonight is going to be a pretty great night

bisous

I guess I'll join the club :P

You're a "Green Angel". You're one person
who is extremely protective of people around
you (especially your friends) and you'd end up
as a gaurdian angel. You're stronger than most
and aren't ashamed to show it. People know how
tough you are and don't dare to mess with you
when you get mad. You've got a serious justice
complex so anything that seems wrong makes you
mad. You're real close with your friends and
couldn't live wihout them so even in heaven,
you want to help them. You know they'd want you
as a gaudian angel and you'd love to be able to
ensure safety of your friends for yourself
because you're on of those "If you want
something done right, do it yourself" kind
of person. (if you cannot see the pics, go near
the bottom of my homepage and find your result.
look closely to make sure your look in the
right place)

Well folks useless information for everyone......but well if I would ever get close to being an angel I guess this is who I'd be.....because internet quizz's never lie ;)

You're a "Purple Angel". You're a fighter
and you know it. If you were an angel, you'd be
part of the celestial army. You're tough as
nails and definately a go big or go home
person. You do everything to the best of your
ability. You're not like the gaudian angel
where you just protect your friends but you
protect everybody. You can't stand to see
people suffering and you'd do anything to
change that. You're a very fun person as long
as people are on your good side and you're very
laid back. (if you cannot see the pics, go near the
bottom of my homepage and find your result.
look closely to make sure your look in the
right place)

Hey guys,

I'm working the night again! It's now 7:25 in the morning...

Had a pretty good birthday and I got some money from my family to buy an MP3 player. Of course want the biggest and best (who could have imagined), hence I'm gonna buy an Ipod in the beginning of next month (if all goes as planned).

It's funny to be working the night in these hotels.
When I got here (at around 18:30 last night) the weather was grey and rainy.

Blehhhhhhh Now It's 12:00 and I'm still here. I'm not finishing this post due to extreme tiredness.

Thank you for attending.

Hey everybody
Well it looks like winter is on its way here in Paris, at least its getting cold (ooohh yes I know I´m from Iceland but that does not mean that I dont get cold) and last night we had thunder and lightning and it was raining like hell....and of course Daniel caught the flue, which is not big news since Daniel gets every disease that goes around, but the much worse part is that he finally succeeded in passing it on to me!! I hate being sick so that is why when I get sick as a true alcoholic I just pretend it aint happening so I go around cleaning like a maniac, go out walking and do whatever I can to prove to myself that I am NOT sick.....and you know what..sometimes it even works....but not this time.....and that SUCKS.
Oh yes when I get sick my spirituality just seem´s to disappear, I get selfish, selfcentered and do not understand why all the people that pretend to love me so much arent here to take care of ME, all I get is the dog who is equally selfish so he´s not taking care of me.......poor me......
Well now I just have to bitchslap me a couple of times, drag myself in front of the mirror and scream...Is this who you wanna be! and I´ll get over it and my spiritual tools will be handed back to me in a second......

Warning: this blog was written by an insane alcoholic with a fever and should not be taken seriously

and may god keep you until then....

Birthday boy making a wish......

2004-10-15T20:40:00.000+01:00

Go shorty, It's my birthday. Go shorty, It's my birthday...

You guessed it. ITS MY BIRTHDAYYY! Not much of festivity since I had to go to Lille today for work, where I found myself in a three star hotel crammed up in a server closet (ah yes, no server room here). I daresay this is entirely unacceptable on my own birthday. Needless to say I skipped lunch and hurried up so I could take the train back 2 hours earlier than planned.

Got home to a good dinner and birthday cake, sweeet.

Tomorrow I'll even get a birthday party at my sister's, mom is here and will be cooking (for those who do not know, my mom really is the best cook in the world).

Guess that's it... I'm pretty tired now so I really like the idea of "postponing" my birthday 'till tomorrow.

Thanks for all the greetings I've gotten in the guestbook

P.S. for those who haven't noticed, all the pictures posted with Hello Bloggerbot show up as blogs entered by me.

Me and Daniel seem to have a strange kind of karma which attracts homeless or sick animals to us........ take a look at tonights houseguest, well actually not houseguest since he is afraid of the dog and the dog afraid of him and Daniel is also allergic but he´s been hanging around our garden today and been coming inside from time to time so it´s only polite to make up a bed for him.....don´t you think so?......

Hey guys,

A rainy day in Paris. Of course it rains when I have to take the train to work in my just-back-from-the-cleaners favorite black velvet suit (you know I'm a pimp).

Here's a question for smokers, do you really believe no one is bothered by your smoking?
I show up all nice and dressed up in my suit to this four star hotel in a country that has already passed laws prohibiting smoking outside designated areas in workplaces and what happens? You bet the people we are working with ask if we "mind" that they smoke.
Are you silly enough to think anyone who is there doing business with you is going to say: "Yes, smoking bothers me quite a lot, my eyes get irritated, I smell bad and I just got my suit drycleaned. Thank you for asking."? I'm not.

What keeps amazing me though is the fact that someone can actually believe the idea that it is their right to smoke where they want.

I see it as the equivalent of me carrying on me a can of hairspray (particularly bad smelling hairspray) and once or twice every hour I walk around the room spraying hairspray all over the place. If you sit close to me I will aim directly at your eyes. In the end of each day of work with me you will feel sick from the smell of yourself, your partner will mention the fact that you smell bad and that just works magic for you.

I will of course not notice the tears falling from your eyes or how red they have suddenly become. If I do you've probably just been drinking.

If you ever ask me to spray my hairspray outside I might say yes but I will get irritated and I'll probably not like you very much after that.
You are the person depriving me of my right to spray.

I like it when it's grey/rainy and I'm on the inside looking out. I don't like standing out there.

Whats your culture today Mr. Jonsson?

Auf der Maur
After one listening this cd sounds pretty good to me, this is the first solo album of a girl (Melissa Auf der Maur is her name) who played the bass in Hole for five years and the guitar in The Smashing Pumpkins for their last tour. You can check out her site and listen to a couple of her songs Here.

Abattoir blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
This is the latest album from Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds.
I am a fan. In fact we both are. Here's an example: Last week on my way home from work I took Let Love In out of my car's cd player to replace it with Tender Prey. On getting home from the store that night I took No More Shall We Part from the home stereo's cd player to replace it with the newly bought Abattoir blues / The Lyre of Orpheus cd.
This cd has not quite settled in yet but I still like it. There's something on there that's not quite grabbing me as much as their other cd's though.

Reading:

The Da Vinci Code
Brilliant book. Definitely the best book I've read in a long time. The descriptions in this book are so good that he makes the places and things he talks about very interesting. If you have not yet read this book then go get it. Now.
If you live in Paris just ask me and I'll give it to you. We're both done reading it.

BloggityBlogBlog time for some sleep and then the Marathon continues!

Is anyone reading this? Is any of this interesting any of you? Hello???

2004-10-05T01:27:00.002+01:00

Well Well,

Once again the hour is late and what do I find my self doing but... WORKING!

All work and no play makes Daniel go...... something something

I'm doing an upgrade at the Sheraton hotel in Charles De Gaulle airport, Paris.
It's 2:30 AM (as in late-night) and I guess I'll not be leaving here until 9-10.

Anyways, had a nice week-end. Bought some computer stuff. YESSS.

That's just like christmas to me, bought a 200GB hard drive with 8MB cache and a better (read less noise) processor fan.
I've had this computer for a year and half and thought all along that it was the combination of fans that made it so noisy or the power supply fans. Lazy me never took the time to check it out.
Once I checked it out though it turns out that my cheapo processor fan was responsible for all the noise and thats a lot of noise too.
Of course the much more advanced fan, both regarding efficiency and noise, cost less than it's "cheapo" predecessor.
Why? Simple, one is bought in Iceland, the other is not.

I'm gonna put sound samples in here when I change the fans so you can hear the difference. Hey, maybe one or two of you even find that interesting!

2004-09-24T21:40:00.000+01:00

Woohooooo,

its 22:40 and I'm still at work. Even better, its Friday night!

Anyways, as you Icelanders can see this blog has officially gone English for a much broader audience, suiting an Internet Rockstar like myself. Seriously, its more because we have so many English speaking friends by now who are not always in Paris so I thought why not blog in English so they can keep up to date too?
Iris (the super-blogger) obviously gave her accord.

Jæja þá er maður komin heim aftur eftir tveggja vikna útlegð við austanverða Paris. Jenný vinkona og Jasmín dóttir hennar voru nefnilega í heimsókn og þar sem það er er bara rétt svo pláss fyrir tvær manneskjur og feitann hund í íbúðinni okkar þá flutti ég bara með þeim í rúmgóða íbúð (betur þekkt sem Hótel Krummaskuð;o) í 20 mínutna fjarlægð og skildi kallinn og hundinn eftir heima.
En í gærkvöldi yfirgáfu þær okkur og ég flutti aftur heim með ferðatöskuna og bjóst að sjálfsögðu við þvílíkum fagnaðarfundum (ekki það að við höfum ekki hist daglega samt) sem ekki varð mikið úr þar sem að kallinum varð svona mikið um heimkomu mína að hann bað mig bara að skutla sér út á flugvöll þar sem hann tók vél til suður frakklands og er nú í miklum makindum á einhverju lúxushótelinu þar....en hinsvegar er hundurinn rassfastur við mig þannig að það er allavega einhver glaður að sjá mig.. Svo er ég að fara á eftir á Big Book study fundinn okkar sem er búinn að vera í fríi allan ágúst og mig hlakkar voða mikið til það er svo gott að lesa þessa bók reglulega með öðru veruleikafirrtu fólki en þangað til ætla ég bara að hanga með hundinum mínum og njóta skilyrðislausrar ástar hans sem hann fær að sjálfsögðu margfalt endurgoldna..........kemur einhverntíman fyrir ykkur að byrja að skrifa og hafa ekkert að segja en geta samt ekki hætt? eitthvað þannig í gangi en nú ætla ég að aga mig aðeins og hætta bara samt....en hey! eitt enn bara til að viðhalda þessari tilkynningaráráttu sambýlismanns míns, ég er að hlusta á Leonard Cohen núna en fer örugglega að skipta í Guns n´ Roses þar sem það er eiginlega hefð að hlusta á þá við heimilisþrifin.....jáhá þá vitiði það

Ord dagsins er Turbulence

Eg er nefnilega soldid flughraeddur strakur og thad vill svo heppilega til ad sidustu manudi hef eg verid ad ferdast mjog mikid med flugvelum (aetli thetta seu ekki ad medaltali 2-4 flugferdir a manudi).

Thetta er soldid spes, afleiding thess ad eg er svona oft i flugvelum er su ad eg er alltaf eitthvad ad paela, thetta hljod var nu ekki sidast sko, hva rosa heyrist eitthvad hatt i flopsunum......

Thetta vandamal a ser samt raetur i frekar einfoldum hlut.

Ad treysta gudi

Thegar eg er i flugvel tha er eg ekki vid stjorn og fyllist thvi otta. Eg hef ekkert ad segja um thad sem gerist, bara ekki nokkurn skapadan hlut.

Thar kemur gud inn i myndina. Ef flugvelin min er i 30,000 feta haed og bilar tha er ekki mikid sem eg get gert i thvi en eg trui thvi ad gud se med plan fyrir allt sem gerist svo otti minn stafar i raun af thvi ad eg fae ekki ad vita planid hans guds og er ekki viss um ad planid hans se betra en planid mitt.

Eg veit ekki hvort thid "venjulega folkid" (folk sem thjaist ekki af likamlegu ofnaemi og huglaegri thrahyggju gagnvart hugbreytandi efnum) skiljid thetta en here goes:

Alkoholistinn er ad labba uti a gotu thegar hann hittir Gud.

Alkoholistinn ser ad Gud er med eitthvad i hondinni og spyr Gud hvad hann se med.
"Edrumennsku", segir Gud.
"Hvad viltu fa fyrir hana?" spyr Alkoholistinn
G: "Hvad attu?"
A: "Fimmthusundkall"
G: "Tha kostar edrumennskan thig fimmthusundkall"
A: "En, ef thu tekur fimmthusundkallinn minn, hvernig a eg tha ad setja bensin a bilinn minn?"
G: "Nu? Attu bil? Edrumennskan mun kosta thig fimmthusundkall og bilinn"
A: "En, ef thu tekur bilinn minn, hvernig a eg tha ad komast i vinnuna?"
G: "Nooohhh, ertu i vinnu? Edrumennskan mun kosta thig fimmthusundkall, bilinn og vinnuna"
A: "En, ef thu tekur vinnuna mina, hvernig a eg tha ad borga af husinu minu?"
G: "Thu ert ekki ad segja mer allt, edrumennskan mun kosta thig fimmthusundkall, bilinn, vinnuna og husid"
A: "En ef thu tekur husid, hvar a tha fjolskyldan min ad vera?"
G: "Edrumennskan mun kosta thig, fimmthusundkall, bilinn, vinnuna, husid og fjolskylduna. Edrumennskan mun kosta thig lifid.
En eg aetla ad gera vid thig samning. Thu faerd fimmthusundkallinn aftur, en thetta er ekki thinn fimmthusundkall heldur minn, thu att bara ad eyda honum fyrir mig. Thu faerd bilinn aftur, en thetta er ekki thinn bill heldur minn, thu att bara ad keyra hann fyrir mig. Thu faerd vinnuna aftur, en thu att ad vinna hana fyrir mig. Thu faerd lifid thitt aftur, en thetta er ekki thitt lif heldur mitt, thu att bara ad lifa thvi fyrir mig.

Eg er s.s. buinn ad gera thennan dil vid gud sem i stuttu mali sagt virkar svona:
Eg fae ad eiga gott lif og gera thad sem mig langar (tho eg viti ekki alltaf hvad thad er) a medan eg reyni ad fylgja hans vilja (gaeti soundad freaky ad "thykjast" thekkja vilja guds en thannig er thad bara...) en guds vilji er yfirleitt sa ad eg eydi tima i ad hjalpa odrum og gefa thad sem mer hefur verid gefid.

Thegar eg er i godu sambandi vid gud tha er eg ekki hraeddur. Thad finnst mer merkilegt.

Thegar eg flyg tha er eg yfirleitt soldid smeykur fyrst en thad er allt i lagi. I flugtaki er eg yfirleitt med augun lokud, fer med stutta baen og hugleidi, endurnyja samninginn vid gud og fullvissa mig um ad hann se ekki buinn ad gleyma mer og eg ekki honum og thar med er ottinn buinn. Eg legg lif mitt i hans hendur og hef thvi ekkert ad ottast, hvad sem gerist. Eftir thetta get eg bara lesid bokina mina rolegur eda skrifad tolvupost eda sofid. Enginn meiri otti.

Va, thessi postur baetti vel a sig...

Timi til ad fara heim, klukkan er 8 og their eru vist bunir ad spa brjaludu vedri og vara vid thvi ad vera i bil i kvold...

En ef thid hafid einhverjar paelingar vardandi thessar paelingar tha megid thid endilega deila theim... til thess er ju commentakerfid

Það suðar í eyrunum mínum og mig verkjar í bakið og hálsinn.

Jájá, einmitt. Við fórum að sjá Pixies í gær og það var ekki lítið rokk.

Við keyptum 5 miða þar sem Hjörtur (bróðir minn) ætlaði að koma og draga eitthvað fólk með sér en hann komst ekki svo við seldum 2 miða á tvöföldu verði og vorum svo orðin svo stressuð af því við værum svo sein (klukkan var 7 og tónleikarnir byrjuðu 8) að við seldum þann síðasta á kaupverði (33 evrur - um 3 þúsund krónur) fyrir utan svo við enduðum í raun á því að borga um það bil 700 krónur hvort fyrir miðana.

Þegar við svo komum inn fengum við bara sæti á besta stað, þetta var soldið eins og laugardalshöllin nema ekki jafn mikið gólfpláss og við fengum sæti beint á móti sviðinu í fjórðu röð. Ekki það að við stóðum upp þegar Pixies byrjuðu að spila og settumst ekki meira niður eftir það.

Mogwai mættu með derhúfurnar sínar og spiluðu stonerrokk til að hita upp.
Mér fannst þeir soldið Sigurrósarlegir í þeim skilningi að þeir framkölluðu rosalega mikinn hávaða með gíturunum sínum svo úr varð gott lag en Sigurrós eru þó mun betri í þeirri list. Svo fannst mér þeir hálf artí-fartí eitthvað að skipta um gítar fyrir hvert lag og eitthvað á meðan lögin voru ekkert það spes. Hefði haft meiri skilning fyrir þessu ef þetta hefðu verið einhver meistaraverk.
Mér fannst þetta ekki alveg rétta bandið til að hita upp fyrir Pixies og undir endann var ég eiginlega bara farinn að bíða eftir því að þeir lykju þessu af.

Pixies byrjuðu á því að taka Bone Machine og héldu svo áfram með hverja snilldina á fætur annarri. Rokkuðu feitt allan tímann og var ekki hægt að setja út á þetta á nokkurn hátt.
Þessir tónleikar voru vægast sagt snilld.

Eftir tónleikana keyptum við okkur auðvitað Pixies varning (ég fékk bol og Íris fékk tösku) og fórum svo í lestina og sváfum alla leið heim.

Nú er málið að fara út og kaupa sér Surfer Rosa.

Svo eigum við tvo miða í topp sæti á Pixies, The Roots og Red Hot Chili Peppers þann 15.

Vorum að koma úr bíó, fórum að sjá nýju Harry Potter myndina ógó skemmtileg! Ég gæti sko horft á Harry Potter og Lord of the Rings til skiptis það sem eftir er ævi minnar, svo sniðugar svona ævintýramyndir. Vandamálið er bara það að ég er svo gersamlega veruleikafirrt (eins og bróðir minn orðar það svo skemmtilega) að eftir 10 min á svona mynd þá trúi ég því bara algjörlega heilshugar að ég eigi heima í þessum heimi, alveg án gríns sko þá sit ég hérna bara bíðandi eftir því að það komi hérna ugla með innritunarbréfið mitt í Hogwartsskóla og ég get alveg sagt ykkur það að það eru nokkrir dagar í það að ég detti aftur inn í veruleikann.
Var marga mánuði eða jafnvel ár að jafna mig eftir að ég sá Bruce Lee í Hafnarfjarðarbíói á fyrstu árum ævi minnar gekk bara um allt æpandi og sparkandi og alveg handviss um að ég væri mesti karate snillingur heims og mér gengur eitthvað erfiðlega að vaxa upp úr þessi..... kannski alltílæ bara allavega segir pabbi minn að það sé algjör óþarfi að vaxa uppúr hlutum og ekki platar hann pabbi minn..........hmm
En annars erum við bara í góðum málum hérna held ég. Erum að leita að stærri íbúð með garði einhversstaðar hérna og það er auðvitað bara brandari, garðar eru eitthvað sem er einstaklega erfitt að finna í nágrenni Parisar og ef þú finnur eitthvað með garði þá bara kostar það þreföld forstjóralaun per mánuð...... iiii hvað er ég að kvarta hérna auðvitað fáum við bara það sem æðri máttur en ég vel fyrir okkur þannig að mér væri nú eiginlega bara næst að halda kjafti....jamm ég held að það sé best.
Svo eru minns og hinns að fara á Pixies á mánudaginn og ég veit að það verður partí.

Bless í bili

Jæja verður maður ekki að fara að láta heyra í sér, svona áður en allt verður brjálað og það rignir yfir mann skömmum um að maður bara bloggi aldrei.
Annars veit ég bara ekkert hvað ég á að blogga um, mér finnst alltaf að ég þurfi að hafa eitthvað rosa merkilegt að segja til þess að "mega" pósta því svona á internetið, jebbs sona er mar skrítin.
Sit hérna bara ein við tölvuna í morgunsárið og læt mér leiðast þar sem tölvukjúklingurinn er að sofa úr sér eftir að hafa hangið í tölvunni langt fram á nótt.

HEY, ég á soldið að segja frá....ligga ligga lá.. ég byrjaði í nýrri vinnu síðasta mánudag hjá þessu fyrirtæki, fékk semsagt vikusamning hjá þeim til að byrja með (þannig byrja flestir vinnusamningar hérna) og átti semsagt að fara að laga gagnagrunninn þeirra þannig að hægt væri að nota hann í markaðsherferðir og þannig lagað og ef allt gengi upp gæti ég fengið vinnu hjá þeim sem aðstoðarmaður þessarar sem sér um marketing og event planning, sem er einmitt eitthvað sem ég hef áhuga á. En haldiði ekki bara að ég hafi heldur betur fengið stöðuhækkun á öðrum degi! hlýtur að vera einhverskonar met sko... allavega þá sagði yfirmaðurinn minn bara upp vinnunni sinni þar sem að þetta er ekki það sem hún er sérhæfð í og þau bara gerðu sér lítið fyrir og buðu mér stöðuna hennar, sem að sjálfsögðu þáði. Síðustu þrjá dagana var hún semsagt með mér fyrir hádegi en núna er ég bara on my own, jebbs bara buslandi um í djúpu lauginni. Reyndar er þessi samningur bara 3ja vikna og eftir það verður svo gerður langtíma samningar ef ég höndla vinnuna og allir eru sáttir.

En þetta finnst mér allavega ótrúlega spennandi tækifæri, svona eitthvað sem maður fær bara einu sinni á ævinni, svo það er eins gott að standa sig þar sem að ég myndi nú segja að ég væri frekar under-qualified í þessa stöðu svona eins og er.

Sko ég hafði bara heilmikið að segja ykkur frá :) En nú er ég að spá í að drífa kallinn á fætur og sinna loðna barninu sem grætur hástöfum af því að hann er búinn að missa dótið sitt undir sjónvarpsskápinn...

Friður.....

Jibbíí sumarið er komið í France, sólin skín og hitinn fer hækkandi...æ lov itt. Skelltum okkur á ströndina síðasta sunnudag og þar var vægast sagt pakkað af bikínígellum og gæjum svo við urðum að keyra meðfram ströndinni í klukkutíma áður en við fundum stað þar sem var pláss fyrir okkur eða aðallega pláss fyrir Amir þar sem að þessi ferð var nú mest farin fyrir hann. Hann veit nefnilega ekkert skemmtilegra en að synda í sjónum og kafa eftir allskonar drasli. En eftir að hafa keyrt þarna um þá erum við eiginlega búin að ákveða að fara þangað aftur "barnlaus" því það er svo mikið að skoða þar og mikið um að vera þarna. Myndirnar koma inn á albúmið fljótlega, við erum að vinna í því að taka til í þessu albúmi og þetta tekur allt sinn tíma.

Danni er svo að fara til Mauritius á föstudaginn þó að hann byrji ekki að vinna fyrr en á mánudeginum þá hefur hann bara helgina til að leika sér og skoða sig um og gista á fimm stjörnu hóteli.....grrrrrr og ég er svoooo abbó en er samt að reyna að samgleðjast bara.....*reyni*reyni*

Annars erum við Amir bara heimavinnandi núna eftir að ég hætti að vinna á Hótelinu, reyndar búið að bjóða mér eina vinnu sem ég gat ekki tekið af því að það var framtíðarvinna en ég er að fara í tvö atvinnuviðtöl í vikunni þannig að hver veit nema eitthvað skemmtilegt gerist.

En nú er tími til að fara út í sólina og reyta arfa.....

La vie est belle!

2004-04-21T13:26:00.000+01:00

Jaeja krakkar eru ekki allir i studi?

Eg er nu adallega ad blogga nuna til ad segja ykkur ad eg hugsa ad eg skelli mer bara nidur til Afriku i viku eda svo.
Mauritius til ad vera nakvaemur (Mauritius er litil eyja sem er fronsk nylenda og finnst a Indlandshafi, rett undan strondum Afriku).

Thad er semsagt verid ad senda mig thangad i viku til ad setja upp kerfi a geggjudu hoteli.

Thid getid semsagt hugsad til min vikuna 3. - 7. mai thegar eg verd Her

og ef thad er ekki a vinnutima tha verd eg kannski ad gera eitthvad af Thessu

Eda bara einfaldlega i solbadi!

Heyrumst seinna

Gleðilega páska allir saman!
Sit hér í brjáluðu fjöru, eða ekki, þar sem að Danni liggur upp í rúmi sofandi og hundurinn sofandi við hliðina á mér. Danni tók nefnilega upp á því að fagna páskunum með flensu sem að ég reyndar smitaði hann af en ég hafði þó vit á því að klára mína fyrir páska svo ég gæti nú örugglega borðað Nóa páskaeggið mitt....nammi nammi namm "enginn er verri þótt hann vökni" er málsháttur dagsins sem er eflaust bara mjög satt....annars er búið að vera allt of mikið að gera hjá okkur þannig að við vorum bara að opna páskaeggið okkar í núna í morgun, höfðum ekki lyst á því í gærkvöldi.
Annars erum við búin að eiga góða helgi, eins árs afmæli hjá Selju Sif á laugardaginn, brunch með fullt af AA fólki í gærdag og svo dinner með familíunni hans Danna í gærkvöldi........hmmm er að lesa aðeins yfir þessa færslu
opna páskaegg á öðrum í páskum+hafa ekki lyst á páskaeggi+fara í brunch = við erum að verða gömul!!

Jenný vinkona hringdi einmitt í mig í gærmorgun alveg niðurbrotin af því að hún væri orðin svo gömul, hún hafði nefnilega ekki lyst á því að borða súkkulaði í morgunmat en neyddi þó nokkra bita ofan í sig svona til að halda í æskuna en nei nei henni varð bara flökurt eftir það.....

usss ég ætla fara á hnén og biðja um það að löngunin í súkkulaði verði aldrei tekin frá mér, eitthvað verður maður nú að sukka með

ehaggi??

knús til ykkar allra

Hallo fólk, sá hérna fyrir neðan hálfgert loforð um að ég myndi segja frá dýragarða/tívolíferðinni okkar þannig að ég verð víst að setja inn nokkur orð;) Þeir sem þekkja mig vita nú reyndar að það er eiginlega ekkert hægt að gera neitt betra fyrir mig en að fara með mig í dýragarð eða tívóli og hvað þá bæði í einu!! þannig að um leið og hann Danni minn uppgötvaði þetta duo þarna þá auðvitað vissi hann að hann yrði að fara með mig og það var sko ekki leiðinlegt!! Ég var eins og skríkjandi smástelpa (sem að ég er kannski bara að öllujöfnu) og hann Danni var nú ekkert minna spenntur, hann þarf bara alltaf að halda kúlinu þið skiljið ;) en við sáum semsagt fullt af sniðugum dýrum m.a. ljón, tígrisdýr, gíraffa, fíla, flóðhesta, úlfa, apa, birni, antílópur, hrægamma og rottur. Ég er reyndar ekkert viss um að það síðastnefnda hafi átt að vera til sýnis en þær lifðu allavega góðu lífi hjá hrægömmunum og voru ekkert að kippa sér upp við homo sapiens tegundina.
Eftir þetta fórum við svo í tívólí í rosa rússíbana og létum plata úr okkur pening í allskonar tombólusvindl, það var líka frábært veður heitt og sól allan daginn þannig að þetta var góður dagur en það besta var samt að við gleymdum myndavélinni!!

Annars er ég bara heima í dag, gera skattskýrslu og sona, var að vinna á laugardaginn og er þá heima í dag í staðinn og svo er vinnan bara búin á föstudaginn og ég þarf að fara að leita að næstu. Stefnan sett á að þræða atvinnuskrifstofur eftir vinnu næstu daga og svo er bara aldrei að vita nema við förum suður fljótlega...jibbíííí en nánari fréttir af því á næstunni allavega

en nú þarf ég að fara að sinna "litla" barninu mínu sem vælir við hurðina og vill komast út

sí jú leiter aligeiter

2004-04-04T23:09:00.000+01:00

Ég er loksins farin að vinna eitthvað sem er ýktað gaman enda ekki leiðinlegt vinnuumhverfi að hanga á 4 stjörnu hóteli allan daginn. Þetta er líka fínt þar sem ég neyðist til að tala frönsku sem er eitthvað sem ég hef ekkert þurft að gera hérna úti og er þessvegna ekkert góð í.

Annars hef ég ekkert merkó að segja er að vonast til þess að geta kíkt til Íslands þegar ég er hætt í vinnunni, sem er í apríl, og fengið nokkur knús.

Ákkurat núna erum við Amir samt bara að bíða eftir að Danni komi heim úr vinnunni og gefi okkur knús og ís

Skrifa meira seinna þegar ég er í meira skrifstuði með guði.

How evil are you?

Ég er sko ekkert rosa slæm, var það einu sinni en ekki lengur..........æi þetta er nú ekkert svo alvarlegt ég á greinilega ennþá séns

2004-01-26T10:07:00.000Z

Allo allo það er víst komin tími til að láta aðeins vita af sér. Það er semsagt komið nýtt ár, jújú í Frakklandi líka, Danni hættur í gömlu vinnunni sinni og byrjaður í draumavinnunni held ég bara, þetta er að minnsta kosti í fyrsta skipti sem ég hef vitað til þess að hann voni að það sé mánudagur í staðinn fyrir sunnudag svo hann geti farið í vinnuna sína að leika sér, já fyrir hann er að fikta í tölvum og ferðast útum allt vissulega að leika sér.
Annars er ég bara ennþá heimavinnandi húsmóðir reyndar að missa geðheilsuna hægt og hægt en hverjum er ekki sama, er reyndar að fara að vinna smá verkefni á Íslandi í gegnum veraldarvefinn og svo jafnvel að fara í tveggja mánaða verkefni hér ef guð og frönsk yfirvöld leyfa og það ætti að geta slegið hnignandi geðheilsu á frest.

Er að hlusta á Halldór Laxnes með Mínus og mun það vera bara helvíti góður diskur og ég vildi að ég hefði uppgötvað þessa hljómsveit aðeins fyrr, þoli ekki þegar maður uppgötvar eitthvað gott sem er samt búið að vera fyrir framan mann allan tíman

Eretta ekki bara komið nóg í bili....? jú held það bara

2004-01-08T00:20:00.000Z

Jæja,

Þá er ég búinn að fá bland í poka, Sómasamloku með Roastbeef, Bitabæjarhamborgara, Íslenskt vatn, sturtu með vondri lykt, og allt hitt sem útlendingar vita ekki að þeir eru að missa af.

Ég er semsagt búinn að vera á Íslandi síðan 2. janúar og bara því miður miklu minni tími en ég hefði þurft til að heimsækja alla.

Ég er ekki alveg að nenna að segja mikið núna en ég skelli einhverju rugli hér inn fljótlega.

Gleðilegt ár...

Thetta verdur titillinn a minni eigin Scrooge sogu sem eg gef ut einhvern daginn.

I morgun a leid minni ut heima sat gamla kellingin sem byr vid hlidina a okkur fyrir mer og sagdi:

"Godan daginn Herra Jonsson eg er buin ad bida eftir ther" (Jaha thad er sko HERRA Jonsson fyrir ykkur lika!)

Allavegana tha fer hun med mer inn i bilageymslu og synir mer rispu framan a glaenyja Citroeninum sinum og heldur thvi fram ad unnusta min hafi gert thetta og thad viljandi. Ekkert keyrt utan i eda neitt heldur komid og rispad bilinn af asettu radi.

Sagan er thannig ad thegar vid vorum nykomin tha komst Amir einhverntimann ovart yfir i gardinn hennar thegar vid saum ekki til og skildi eftir gjof handa kellingunni.

Kellingin kom svo alveg brjalud a medan eg var ekki heima og bara badadi hondum og oskradi a Irisi greyid sem skildi ekki ord og thad eina sem hun sagdi var eg skil ekki eg skil ekki og kellingin bara taladi og taladi.

Iris for bara og threif thetta og ekkert mal og sidan hofum vid ekkert heyrt.

Fyrr en nu.

Kellingin semsagt sagdi mer thad ad Iris hefdi bara verid donaleg thegar hun kom og viljad ad kellingin thrifi thetta sjalf upp og eitthvad bull, sidan tha hefdi Iris aldrei yrt a konuna og alltaf verid mjog ful.
Thetta er audvitad bara mesta vitleysa og skil eg vel ad Iris hafi ekki talad vid kellinguna thar sem thad er nu ekki eins og hun komi til manns og nefni thad ef eitthvad er ad heldur bara raedst hun a mann med oskrum og rugli.

Eg skodadi bilinn hennar og thad er greinilegt ad hun hefur annadhvort keyrt utan i eitthvad eda annar bill nuddast vid hennar en hun er alveg handviss um ad Iris hafi gert thetta thvi enginn annar hafi verid i bilageymslunni og Iris hafi verid a moti henni sidan thetta med gardinn og bla bla bla.

Thessi kelling er alveg massaruglud og sagdi mer thad ad hun aetladi upp a logreglustod i dag ad leggja fram kvortun (veit ekki hvort thad jafngildir kaeru eda hvad) og i samtokin sem sja um husid og hvad eina.
Eg hef nu samt litlar ahyggjur thar sem thad eru bara hennar ord a moti okkar og greinilegt ad billinn hennar hefur nuddast vid eitthvad.

Semsagt alveg massa jolafilingur i blokkinni.

Mer finnst samt fyndid hvernig hugsunarhatturinn hja henni var.
Ef svona myndi gerast hja mer tha myndi eg hugsa "folkid a moti gerdi thetta" eda eitthvad alika en hun hafdi sko ekki nokkurn skapadan hlut a moti mer og sagdi ad eg hefdi avallt verid mjog kurteis og vidkunnanlegur i samskiptum. Thegar eg sagdi henni ad thad gaeti ekki verid ad konan min hefdi gert thetta tha sagdi hun bara ad eg liti hana astaraugum og hun (konan min) thyrfti ekkert ad hafa sagt mer fra thessu og alika.

Eins og eg thekki ekki konuna mina?

Eg vona nu ad thad se folk med radi i loggustodinni thar sem thad ju sest greinilega ad bilnum hefur verid ekid utan i eitthvad. Annars tharf eg ad fara ad vesinast upp a loggustod og eitthvad ad svara thessu bulli og thar hef eg thann (mikla) okost ad vera nybui. Eg er tho thad heppinn ad vera hvitur (ekki audvelt ad vera svartur nybui i thessu landi).

Kellingunni tokst nu aldeilis ad setja thennan adfangadagsmorgun ur skordum hja mer en eg reyndi bara ad hugleida i lestinni og spjalla adeins vid Gud sem ad sjalfsogdu klikkar ekki og nu er thetta i hans hondum. Kallinn (konan?) hlytur ad redda thessu eins og ollu odru.

Allavegana, tha erud thid buin ad fa jolasoguna mina og munum nu ad vera god vid hvort annad a jolunum!

Thad er allt ad verda vitlauuuust

Ok, eg laug.

Eg er semsagt i vinnunni. Thad er ekkert ad gera.

Fyrir tha sem vita thad ekki tha tokum vid vid simtolum.

Eg held eg se kannski buinn ad taka thrju - i mesta lagi fjogur simtol i dag og klukkan er 14:45. Venjulega er eg ad taka svona 20-25 simtol a dag. Manudagar eru langstaerstu dagarnir og thar af leidandi vinn eg halftima lengur eda 9 tima a manudogum.
Ef vid segjum svo ad eg taki ad medaltali 23 simtol a 9 timum tha gera thad 2,5 simtol a klukkutima. Segjum svo ad eg eigi eftir ad fa 3 simtol i vidbot og hafi thvi afkastad 7 simtolum i dag.

Thad hringdi rett i thessu Tyrki sem taladi hormulega ensku og vildi samt olmur ad eg utskyrdi fyrir honum tha protocola sem Renault nota til thess ad tengjast utanadkomandi fyrirtaekjum sem thurfa adgang ad innranetinu. Eg hef engar upplysingar um thetta og hann vildi ekki endilega skilja thad.

Eg er buinn ad gleyma thvi afhverju eg byrjadi ad reikna thetta.... Thad var orugglega ekkert merkilegt hvort sem er.
