some days one wonders if they had been better spent hanging upside down by the balls outside in the rain, being spat at & humiliated by mean but beautiful chicks with sexy behinds

& some days one just isn’t quite sure

to the pixies ;D

here you can find a whole gig dey played on april 13 🙂

siggimus about to check it

hey! looky, looky! it’s elvis!!

saw this coming out of the garden next door!!

cute little stokkendur

bjössi calls & invites siggimus over, where he & iluks are sipping something that ain’t carrot juice

a suitable atmosphere greets siggimus: out of the thick smoke seep the melancholy tones of cure’s pornography

den bjössi suggests da gang go to a café

all abide

when the hot foreign chick comes over to serve, she politely but firmly (& lastly but not leastly, cutely) refuses to serve bjössi beer

good call, hot foreign chick! bjössi is quite drunk :/

*sneeeeeze!!!

excuse siggimus please,

so, poor ole bjössi only gets coffee, while iluks gets a big 1 & siggimus a chick size one

upon leaving, bjössi cusses hot foreign chick to hades & back, while iluks & siggimus both think quite fondly of her…

please do not mock the counter

just put it up, so give it time

… & come often ;D

a man, a woman & 117 cows

& new zealand cows are beautiful, even if they are just in black & white…

quite surreal most of the time, but beautiful cows & chicks kept it afloat

da agoraphobic dog was great, scuttling about under that box…

He even answered a question on the minds of many. “Mr. President, who will we be handing the Iraqi government over to on June 30th?”

BUSH (actual words): “We’ll find that out soon. That’s what Mr. Brahimi is doing. He’s figuring out the nature of the entity we’ll be handing sovereignty over.”

See, Brahimi is on it. He’s gonna let us know. No truth to the rumor Cheney plans to sell the strife-torn nation to Halliburton for an undisclosed sum and some quid pro quo to be named later.

Once the entity is identified and order restored it will be safe to implement the president’s time-tested economic development strategy — distribute generous tax breaks to the rich and open the region to exploitation by corporate friends with addresses in the Bahamas.

Some of the questions were kind of tough but stuff kept coming out of his mouth. “Now is the time and Iraq is the place.” And the smirk stayed tucked away, at least until it leaked out when he said the oil revenue stream there is “pretty darn significant.”

But trouble loomed ahead, a grave and gathering question. Mr. President: “After 9-11, what would your biggest mistake be … and what lessons have learned from it?”

BUSH (actual words): “I wish you’d have given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it. John, I’m sure historians will look back and say, gosh, he could’ve done it better this way or that way. You know, I just — I’m sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with answer, but it hadn’t yet. …”

“I hope — I don’t want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I’m confident I have. I just haven’t — you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I’m not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one.”

And don’t get him started on those weapons of mass destruction. “They could still be there. They could be hidden, like the 50 tons of mustard gas in a turkey farm,” some of Col. Gadhafi’s leftovers found in Libya.

why doesn’t he have people who prevent this sort of thing from happening?

maybe they are the lot that have kept it down to 3 press conferences in as many years, hehe…

shamelessly purloined from here

this one beats the letter siggimus got from mrs. sese-seko

da shortest shower ever taken

dressed in the hurriest of hurries

drove like the wind

den at 4 mins past 7, as siggimus came running, der was a chick standing in de door, waiting for siggimus, cheering him along

see, siggimus being a siggimus, dey waited so he could see eugene o’neill’s mourning becomes electra, and a good thing at that, for it was an excellent production with some superb acting

that hilmir snær feller is truly incredible

erm… sorry about the coughing…

went to theatre last night with colleagues. saw þetta er allt að koma! (e. i’m almost there!)

quite funny, & the set was simply ingenious 🙂

while most of the actors were good, ólafía hrönn & þröstur leó were undoubtedly the best. ólafía hrönn was excellent as toddler geysir þór, screaming ‘i want pizza!!’ at everyone & everything

while there was a lot of stuff missing from the book, that unique optimism & inane positivity so many icelanders suffer from was indeed there;

‘but i still wouldn’t have wanted to miss out on the experience’

-following an au pair experience in italy that included rape attempts

den off for a beer at hverfisbarinn with some of the gang, where írena pulled out a mobile phone & showed everyone pictures of what looked like a monster at first, but turned out to be that furry little dog of theirs, whatsername (karólína?) & another of a blob she maintains will turn out to be her & sibbi’s firstborn

drooled some more, reminiscing about that excellent violent femmes concert with petersen & vos (who also just put a bun in the oven, but didn’t have any blob-pics) & kjo & m & sith

eeek!!!

just got text message saying ‘see you at the theatre in 10 mins!’

:/

excellent, to say the least

quite worth the wait, & now siggimus is 1 step closer to being able to die happy

it is a distinct possibility that after the pixies concert in a month, siggimus will keel over & die with a satisfied grin sculpted on his face

anyhoo, dr. gunni was rocking good, playing a massive set

old siggimus was especially happy to get to hear such anxient favourites as aleinn í bíó, öxnadalsheiði & mónakó again live. something he had given up on a long time ago…

so, den de men stepped up & started doing deir stuff & it was wicked indeed

go violent femmes!!

siggimus sung himself hoarse, taking painstaking care to sing along with all the words to all the songs, although color me once gave him a bit of bother

brian was terrific, punishing that bass like it was pure evil. & just when siggimus was about to get sour that he wasn’t playing anything but the bass (the man can play pretty much everything!!) he went over to the xylophone for gone daddy gone

victor tried to steal the show, & did at times. incredible stuff he can squeeze out of that tiny little wannabe drumset

gordon was everything we expected, that whiny voice of his being perfect for their songs

so, siggimus is happy, & the 15 year wait was worth it 🙂

de afterparty was a bit of a letdown; mingling with friends of m & benni (his band, skátar were playing) & chewing tobacco smoke for 2 hours only to find out from that curly haired feller that the band was booked on a flight out at 4.30

still, siggimus does not regret going to the afterparty, for the tingly titillating anticipation of seeing brian, victor or gordon walk up those stairs at grand rokk is something that will stay with siggimus forever

besides, actually meeting them would probably have been too much :/

thank you violent femmes, it was sheer joy to be part of this with you
