siggimus ain’t payin’

did that political compass test again, and can’t say he’s much depressed about the company he’s in

of course the best thing is being so far away from the really evil ones, thatcher & friedman

the dalai lama & mahatma gandhi are good enough company for siggimus

note how the actual politicians tend to lean towards authoritarianism/fascism

but again, surprises him a bit how big an anarchist he’s been hiding all these years … but of course it does shed a light on why he’s had such a tough time finding something half decent to vote for!

just in case anybody’s interested, here’s the grades siggimus got:
economic left/right: -5.25
social libertarian/authoritarian: -7.03

thanks to tom waits

sharon doesn’t want to talk to siggimus 🙁

such a shame
she didn’t even get around to tell siggimus why he should give her money

the last one was in lagos, nigeria & she was stranded in a five star hotel without money or papers. siggimus asked if she was beautiful. yes, very. why doesn’t she try to sleep with the hotel manager then? if that fails she could try washing dishes
at least she should fucken move out of the most expensive room in the five star hotel

myspace is fun!

ps: it may not be apparent from the screenshot, but siggimus replied:

but i am a monster!
i torture kittens for fun :/

to which she replied

i don’t wanna meet a monster, sorry

well, not half as sorry as siggimus is!

yesterday siggimus had to work for 8 hours, which some would consider a crime against nature, as the temperature was close to 20°c … outside, mind you!

strangely enough, that didn’t bother siggimus much & in fact he seemed eerily calm and composed about this whole business, after getting a work related phonecall on friday that nearly ruined his fishing trip

anyhoo, worked like a dog, setting up two temporary new webs as the actual 2 new webs won’t be ready for a few days & just after noon on friday it turns out that new webs should be up by midnight saturday, because that had been decided long ago

so, after working like a dog, siggimus went to mr & mrs jodazzz where the catch of the day (before!) was skillfully grilled & eaten. mmmmm

after eating, some attempts were made at games; first there was a miserable attempt at no-betting poker, using jodazzz’s lovely porn cards. caused great joy & happiness amongst the female folk

then over to yatzee, where siggimus duly kicked royal ass in 2 rounds out of 3. jodazzz was, well, less than enthusiastic, but mrs. jodazzz & bronja took a beating

so today has been spent hung over, doing as little as possible. that meant doing laundry & having coffee over a few episodes of friends

siggimuses saison de pêche du saumon a commmencé

it commmencé’d on friday, when siggimus & jodazzz went to elliðaár river, smack in the middle of reykjavik (hailed as the best salmon river in the world – that’s accessible by public transportation)

so, weather’s been freakishly good, and salmon freakishly scarce, so the outlook wasn’t too great when they put on the waders. temperatures south of 20°c & glaring sun meant that the pair were much likelier to catch a bad case of sunburn than anything with gills

on top of that everything seemed to go wrong; the bag of worms got left behind and locked in jodazzz’s place & before the first fly so much as got wet, it got tangled high up in a tree & refused to come back. after a few embarrassing moments, the line broke & jodazzz had to go through the whole thing again

after about an hour or so, jodazzz gets hold of a big’un, but loses it after a fight. seeing as it’s the first near-catch he has with a fly, he’s quite jubilant & seems happy

then about 3 hours after the season began, jodazzz got hold of another one. again, he screamed at siggimus to go get the fishing net (for some reason jodazzz never wants the fishing net around until the something is actually on – then he screams obscenities at siggimus and wants him to run to the car & get it). when siggimus got back, jodazzz was on his knees on the bank of the river, holding a beautiful 4-pound salmon down, trying to unhook the hook, a blissful expression on his face usually only found on the mentally challenged

he looked happier than he’s been in quite some time. way happier than 6 days, to name just one example…

after this, siggimus got to try a bit, but jodazzz was a bit impatient with clumsy siggimus & kinda wanted to demonstrate rather than watch

so, maybe it doesn’t seem like a lot, but seeing as the river only gave up 3 salmons that day, not bad at all

siggimus-admirers pop up all around the world

recently siggimus was contacted on flickr by a french islandophile dude eager to use his pics for his web-publication on all things iceland

time for a bit more of this, on friday

problem is that the weather has been so good (erm… isn’t that the eighth sign of the apocalypse? decent weather in iceland for more than 3 days straight?) that there isn’t a worm around

so, anybody got worm?
