pissing down

“eilift stríð & aldrei friður

en það verður einhver að fórna sér”

so, now for the last stretch, but first a bite

soon siggimus will disappear, so adieu for now

didn’t manage to escape choo-choo time as overpacking always takes longer than expected. still, made it to café kiljan w/ the diligent aid of a thousand leaves. the belly of that screaming red rentacar by the side of the road under hafnarfjall wasn’t very reassuring though. apparently some tourists got blown off this morning

but why kiljan? why here?

to face the little people

do not worry, siggimus will prevail

it’s hard for [siggimus] to kick against the pricks

no turning back

just found tjugo kronor while listening to

charlotta

making lasagna

with me above the clouds

but you could have waited

you could have locked yourself up

for ten years or so

and when you finally get out

there will still be new chances for you

an obvious sign from the gods

& this time they’re out to get siggimus!!

the fierce little buggers have pointy, pointy teeth, hum an insanely annoying song & travel in wicked numbers. their wee little feet may only manage short steps but theirs is a stride filled with evil purpose matched only by their beastly eyes

siggimus is up a certain little stream without a paddle

eeeek!!!

visited for siggi hair & máni’s birthday

as soon as health allowed, which was about 4 hours behind schedule

did as bjössi har & called some neglected people during the drive. that handsfree crap has brought a few people from the periphery of siggimus’ life back into the limelight

anyhoo, hemmi & siggi nes were there with women & juniors. egill was there, but left his brand new one at home. a dutch friend of siggi hair’s was there too. & of course katja, máni & ilse the au-pair

then later on, siggi nes left & was replaced by gústi, another friend of siggi hair’s & his gf

as is to be expected when visiting that place, drinks soon started floating & delicious meals were prepared & everybody sat outside in the great weather

the conversation went around the world 3 times in a few hours and up for discussion were such diverse topics as the world price of aluminium, burning churches, the difference between killing shrimps and whales (the one in the ocean, not the sheep-shaggers), politicians; completely bonkers vs. just slightly insane, newspapers & cold porridge, & the solution to everything turned out to be damming every little stream, building an aluminium smelter next to it & of course a church

here’s a few pics of people & events

siggi nes (to differentiate from all the other siggis)

king & queen of the castle

hummm, was it senja? & gústi

dutch feller, wasn’t it gilbert?

king & the prince

today has felt like purgatory; siggimus has gone through hell & damnation all in one go. probably wasn’t in any state to drive back home, with cash full blast; screaming to the songs, with the odd tear trying to squeeze forth

when you’re down and out, when you’re on the street,

when evening falls so hard, i’ll comfort you.

i’ll take your part, oh, when darkness comes and pain is all around,

like a bridge over troubled water, i will lay me down

like a bridge over troubled water, i will lay me down

then upon arrival, siggimus had second lifesaving hang-over-shower in as many days

pu ha, won’t be easy showing up for work in the morning…

ps: just now managed to climb out of bed to get this out to the world :/

siggimus still knows how 2 dance!
