    finally [30 november 2002]

    saw it

    hehe [30 november 2002]

    ‘none of us is as dumb as all of us’

    ‘always remember you are unique. just like everybody else’

    there’s more!!

    puh!! [30 november 2002]

    wakes up at 7.13

    knot back

    what’s with waking up after 3 hours of sleep following all that boogeying..?

    booooogey!! [29 november 2002]

    goes to work-christmas-boogey with knot in tummy

    not half bad!

    singing christmas carols seems a bit off this early…

    good eatings

    the mouse that siggimus suspected was in his package turns out to be a cat!!

    soon after named lucifer rather than beelzebub

    initiation ceremony was short & relatively painless to those concerned. this year’s freshmen got off easy *has nightmares thinking of his own*

    retarded dj wants everyone to participate in inane & silly dance games, most of which involve accordion polka interspersed with ‘proper music’

    dey has macallan at the bar, so it ain’t all bad…

    den after a while, a part of the gang takes off for nasa, although they end up at thorvaldsenbar, where siggimus dances his wee socks off with heiðdís & m

    mmmm 🙂

    job offer reiterated [29 november 2002]

    strutting home, mobile rings again

    ‘hello, is this siggimus again?’

    ‘ya again!!’

    ‘did siggimus ponder yet?’

    ‘tell siggimus more!’

    hmm, siggimus would have to go to tampere for 6-12 months & do some software testing, real important stuff:
    -testing stuff
    -meetings
    -hunting for bugs
    -reporting
    -suggesting improvements
    -adhoc testing look it up!

    ‘hmmmm

    let siggimus ponder some more, ok?’

    ‘sure thing, siggimus!’

    tampere, eh?

    job offer!! [29 november 2002]

    mobile rings while at work

    ‘hello, is this siggimus?’

    ‘ya!!’

    ‘siggimus wanna come work for me in finland?’

    turns out this dude works for a humongous recruiting agency in london & somehow stumbled across web siggimus & found da cv promising (d’uh!)

    ‘hmm, lemme ponder a while, why don’tya?’

    ‘sure thing, siggimus! as you wish!’

    mmmmm… finland 🙂

    victory! [28 november 2002]

    it takes a wee bit of coercing & bullying & some creative rulemaking at the hands of one ept, but the old boys manage to conquer the chickens

    eeeeeeeeeeek!!! [28 november 2002]

    turns out it’s the cops!! cf. 23 november 2002

    da cops have taken to keeping tabs on siggimus

    under surveillance, sorta

    As the Chinese proverb puts it, “Your speech should be better than silence, if not, be silent.”

    da man is on to siggimus!

    siggimus’ gotta watch his fingers as they nimbly scuttle across the keyboard now :/

    cave!! [26 november 2002]

    manages in second attempt to procure much wanted tickets to see the king himself!!

    the world truly is a beautiful place today

    🙂

    shocks [25 november 2002]

    bjössi gaga by curing a hickup by the one failsafe remedy

    intrigued?

    contact siggimus for details 😉

    ugh :/ [25 november 2002]

    bjössi gaga calls at 17.08

    wants to drop in

    hmmm

    this in itself is ok, but siggimus’ worries are later confirmed when bjössi asks if it’s ok he brings a bit of beer…

    ugh :/

    hah!!! [25 november 2002]

    óli palli sends siggimus a mail, scolding him for not picking up his prize & demanding an address

    siggimus, of course obliges the king & promises to wait out by the imaginary mailbox until the little surprise arrives

    weeeeee!!!

    hmmm? [23 november 2002]

    siggimus wonders

    why is it that web siggimus is being visited time & again from the servers of the ministry of justice?

    oddly enough, these people all seem to come through an msn.com search for ‘siggimus’

    is this turning into siggimus’ biggest fanclub?

    hmmm? are you a member?

    in the middle of the night, even!

    dis does not compute

    bond, james bond [22 november 2002]

    doesn’t go to a gala premiere of that latest bond flick

    having to endure all the ‘famous’ people we have scared siggimus off

    well, having to endure that lot & having to rent a tux…

    reading group [21 november 2002]

    since he’s skipping football, siggimus organizes a meeting in the reading group

    mmmmmmm! talk about scrumptious!!

    one could discuss that one forever 😀

    & it turns out, dey is making it into a film!!

    who da fuck is sandy johnson?

    foul treatment [21 november 2002]

    unavailable for football, seeing as siggimus’ foot is extremely swollen & blue

    all of this is due to the treatment of siggimus at the hands of a new colleague, henceforth known as ‘the executioner’ (or the tent :D)

    surprisingly enough, the executioner is a lawyer

    anyone notice a pattern here?

    in fact the similarities don’t end there!! not only is this dude a lawyer, but he’s also in charge of dealing with the serious debtors

    lesson learnt: beware of lawyers who have made a career out of parting you & your money

    erm… doesn’t that cover most of them..?

    buckley [17 november 2002]

    too busy to celebrate :/

    andri returned [17 november 2002]

    having watched that flick again & ate some more pizza, andri is returned to his parts

    sleepover [16 november 2002]

    andri calls & asks if he can come over & stay for the night

    softhearted little siggimus can’t say no to the little rat, so he comes on over

    they rents one & buys pizza & stays up ’till the wee hours

    siggimus decreed the best uncle in creation

    zzz [16 november 2002]

    finally gets around to replacing the ole mattress, whose springs have been poking him hither & thither & bruising him all over & wrecking his back

    buys an astronaut’s mattress for millions, the type that leaves a hole after siggimus gets up 😀

    them millions better have been spent on a miracle cure that fixes the crappy siggimus back in a few days…

    football, cont’d [16 november 2002]

    foot turns purple 😐

    many small things [15 november 2002]

    invite siggimus & other marketing gurus from work to celebrate moving to a new place

    quite the shindig

    a number of supposedly famous artists get the dancing going

    siggimus & svandís apparently smother all hope of getting a raise in the near future by not participating in the conga snake

    afterwards, all go to that thorvalden bar thing with 3 hot chicks from a bank

    football [14 november 2002]

    football goes a bit sour after siggimus allegedly roughs up an opponent, a brand new colleague/part-namesake

    part-namesake not too happy & his foot encounters the siggimus foot in a rough manner

    in an unsurprisingly heroic manner, siggimus stays on & keeps his team afloat, leading them to a glorious 10-0 victory

    festen [9 november 2002]

    finally goes to the theatre!!

    man!!

    been way too long

    meets up at b’s brand new crib (congrats! it’s great) for a soup & some wine before trotting down laugavegur to þjóðleikhúsið for to see a play (duh)

    the play was a stage adaption of a flick

    the movie was impressive & powerful

    but this, wow!

    siggimus was close to tears at times 😐

    bowling [8 november 2002]

    goes bowling with work

    sets his goal high: managing what he barely missed last time: finishing last

    fails aboninably! finishes 13th out of 17 dudes & that’s not counting the chicks :/

    even wins the second round on his lane

    this will not do, siggimus!!

    tsk! tsk!!

    den off to karaoke-crooning pub ölver, where he finds olikr & steinunn stef & sigga who are der crooning with fréttablaðið. turns out ólikr had just been on a panel selecting the least bad crooner & made a few enemies in the process. good thing he’s parted ways with dat lot & joined siggimus’ profession instead of that journalism stuff

    anyhooo, boogey on! party hearty!!

    great & beautiful company, great whiskey

    what else can a siggimus ask?

    b-day [7 november 2002]

    goes right from work to dad’s for a wee cake-party to celebrate his 77th, skipping football & missing the chance to be #1

    ill [6 november 2002]

    overworked, siggimus falls a wee bit ill & stays home

    actually, was more ill at work yesterday, but sorta needs time to recover

    does that

    überputerfixer called upon [5 november 2002]

    big sis’s friend in puter trouble, so siggimus is called for & asked to fix puter

    takes a good deal of time, but siggimus finally manages to purge the old thing of da bugbear virus, but that’s where it stops. not able to install antivirus 🙁

    sentences the wreck to the scrapheap

    gets paid in pizza

    poool [3 november 2002]

    jonkurteiz finds himself in the same predicament as siggimus, so he calls up & wants do go out & do just anything

    dey agrees dat dis means dey’ll at least have something to say if someone should ask them what they did over da weekend

    dey plays a bit of pool

    siggimus wins the first two & is mental victor of 4th game too

    mmmm [3 november 2002]

    buys ( )

    mmmmm

    wanted [2 november 2002]

    life, slightly used, preferably in good condition, but siggimus ain’t too choosy these days…

    mmm, finally saw this one

    read the book, saw the flick, now all that’s left is to eat the pie

    hmmm [1 november 2002]

    wanted to see if they were right about how it depicted things

    trying to get a peek into bjössi gaga’s head

    not sure that was quite what he got…

  • wisdom of day

    physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that’s not why we do it

  • siggimus’ assistance sought

    in recent years, as siggimus’ fame grows outside the relatively small, close knit circle he has mingled in until lately, he has begun receiving requests for assistance from the variousest corners of the world. This time, not surprisingly, siggimus has been contacted by one of the makers of history (or his wife, well widow by now, rather), for assistance

    some background

    our story begins on oct. 20, 1934, when joseph désiré mobutu was born in lisala, in what was then known as belgian congo. joseph received his education in missionary schools before enrolling in the belgian congolese army for a stint, later moving on to journalism

    joseph met & befriended congolese nationalist leader patrice lumumba & soon found himself in the midst of the fight for an independent congo, free of the oppression of its evil belgian rulers & was in a key position on june 30 1960, when the democratic republic of the congo finally got its hard earned independence

    mobutu then gently stabs his close friend patrice lumumba in the back, choosing to side with president joseph kasavubu & the cia in a wee mutiny 8 days later. but that isn’t really surprising as lumumba was an evil marxist & maoist

    5 years later president kasavubu gets into an argument with some feller named moise tshombe, & our hero sees this will not do & selflessly decides to be president himself, giving the others a well earned rest

    mobutu was fond of african things so when he was in control, he took to renaming stuff: congo bebame zaire in 1971, & in 1972 he himself became mobutu sese seko kuku ngbendu waza banga (which siggimus has roughly translated as “the all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance & inflexible will to win, will go from conquest to conquest, leaving fire in his wake”) & ordererd everyone else to take african names too

    he also donned a leopard skin cap and a wooden walking stick topped with an eagle, a symbol of power that allegedly took the strength of eight normal men to carry. not surprising that he carried it lightly, seeing as at the age of 7 he killed a lion with his bare hands, & in a battle he fought against zaire’s enemies, bullets and spears bounced off his chest

    mobutu’s endurance & inflexibility no doubt helped him conquer the presidential elections in both 1970 & 1977, although evil tongues maintained that the lack of other canditates helped him a bit

    these same evil tongues spoke of corruption & evildoing, some even resorting to the word kleptocracy to describe the situation, insisting that our hero was amassing a personal fortune at the cost of his poor little countrymen

    bah humbug! siggimus says to that. these are just the jealous tongues of people who have yet to perfect the delicate art of a prudent & frugal household as did mr. & mrs. sese seko. siggimus means! even old ronnie reagan described him as a “voice of good sense and goodwill.” & he described himself as “kind, sociable”

    story draws to end

    well, the story comes close to a tragic end in may 1997 when rebel leader dr. laurent désiré kabila seizes control of zaire, turning its name back to democratic republic of the congo, sending the happy sese sekos; m. & mobutu & their loving sons, timothy kongolo & basher into exile in abidjan, cote d’ivoire. from there they are off to togo, where they stay with mobutu’s old friend & dictator, gnassingbe eyadema

    from togo they unsuccessfully tried to get to france, before settling in rabat, morocco where poor old mobutu on sept. 7, 1997 succumbed in his heroic battle with prostate cancer

    surely a tragic day for democracy

    today

    anyhoo, now mrs. m. sese seko has gotten in touch with siggimus via e-mail, asking that he help her free some of the hard earned money (by one estimate $5 billion) her late husband had managed to secure in a swiss bank but the wicked kabilas (dr. laurent of course, & since his demise, his son, joseph kabila has carried on the torch) have been trying to get their slimy hands on with the assistance of the corrupt governments of switzerland & other evil european countries

    the next step in this messy business is for siggimus to contact the venerable m. (as siggimus likes to affectionately call her) & tell her where to deposit some $18 million. soon after this, kongolo sese seko will get in touch for to iron out the details, which are, of course highly confidential & cannot be shared with you lot

    siggimus can’t wait to start working on this what must be the justest cause he has ever come across & siggimus has come across some mighty just causes, mind you

  • life

    life is like a bucket of crap

    you never know what you get, but it’s sure gonna stink

  • pics of bjossi

    bjossi asks that siggimus send pics of him to his bro, oli

    here’s a few of’em



    for some reason, he has taken to wearing ties all the time :/

    someone up the dosage please!!



    shortly before siggimus got a right thrashing



    it’s difficult to imagine, but this man actually managed to give up smoking for 11 days a few weeks back…

  • seems

    to work

    for some reason, ogvodafone sees some reason to try & flog siggimus their new adsl 4 service

    sweet mother of jesus!

    😐

    is all lost?!?!

    puha [11 august 2003]

    the summer is obviously almost over with colleagues returning to work & booking meetings with siggimus left & right, finding all sorts of things to do, butn ever actually giving him time to do them

    laundry [10 august 2003]

    day yet again

    pffft

    family day [9 august 2003]

    having borrowed andri, siggimus passes himself off as a family

    da drive to flúðir quite interesting, with buckets & buckets & buckets & buckets of rain pouring down in buckets. then 15-20 km from flúðir it magically clears up & forecasts of impending doom of golf tournament are quickly shattered

    day goes fair well, with excellent weather just long enough & pouring rain just long enough for sha’s car to get mightily stuck in the mud

    the whole affair was actually quite ridiculous enough without the poor thing having the handbrakes on the whole time…

    andri led around on back of horsey for 15 mins or so

    on way back, andri the rascal msgs everybody & his uncle, telling them he’s staying at siggimus’ again

    hmmm, siggimus sees, quoth siggimus

    jodaz doesn’t make coffee despite hints & has to actually be asked to do it

    nay, instructed, ordered to do it!

    after a warm farewell & a present of 30 freshly lain eggs, siggimus heads back home

    joins krumma & a hairy danni boy for a coffee at apótek & some bookbrowsing at m&m

    gots to go see danni toot his horn one of these days

    kjós 2003 [3 august 2003]

    borrows car & drives out to the country for a night of drinking & bbqing with mr & ms jodaz & friends

    has a jolly enough drive, not getting lost an awful lot on the way, to find the gang sitting outside in the sun just chillin, getting over the terriblest hangovers in recent memory

    jodaz tells a very entertaining story about a drunken poacher (a story that did indeed explain the hangovers 🙂

    drinks are drunk, steaks are bbq’d, talk is conducted etc.

    soon after midnight, jodaz gets up & makes like he’s headed for bed. after a scolding far from serious enough he actually leaves siggimus alone deep in the dragon’s lair: with 3 chicks

    nobody joins siggimus in drinking his whiskey, and the party soon grows even scarcer with all of these hangover ridden wimps heading for an early bed

    siggimus and minna boo all

    fine-fucking-ally [3 august 2003]

    finally siggimus finds a replacement for freeamp, the dear friend that broke his heart a few months ago by ceasing to function. indeed a sad day in siggimus history

    now siggimus can sort his mp3s in a proper fashion & play them & be happy

    chicks have always ultra, now siggimus has zinf

    siggimus barely manages to stop himself from removing this godsawful day from the calendar

    this is by no means an admission of the buggers’ right to exist, just that tampering with the time space continuum is a messy business…

    surprise!! [31 january 2003]

    ovs farewelled with a surprise party at keg’s

    siggimus actually manages to miss the event itself (supposedly priceless) on account of lift-giver’s tardiness, but does however manage to enjoy the night, with all the metallica & the stories of ovs’s youthful pranking around

    cats strike again [28 january 2003]

    this time with an attempt on life of bonnie

    having turned in early (responsibilities of familyhood kicking in) siggimus wakes up to a terrified parrot’s shrieks

    ‘what up, little one?’ siggimus asks

    before bonnie manages to cry out his fretful answer, siggimus sees head of cat peeking inside

    ‘begone, foul creature of the night,’ siggimus curses the beast & it scuttles off, tail betwixt hind legs

    ‘there there’

    ‘there there’

    for the next 20 mins: ‘there there’

    bonnie!! [26 january 2003]

    bjössi comes bringing a dear gift!!

    after 4 years, bjössi decides to pass on his dear friend & parrot, bonnie, to a most willing siggimus

    so, siggimus is the proud owner of a parrot

    & it’s looking like the beginning of a beautiful friendship already 🙂

    more soon!!

    daddying [25 january 2003]

    buying tiny pistols that shoot tiny pellets of potato for 8 year olds isn’t such a great idea afterall…

    at least if you do your own vacuuming

    warning!

    stay wayyyy clear of this horror!

    siggimus on tv!! [23 january 2003]

    getting front row seats at that music award thingy, it turns out siggimus turned up on tv a bit

    gets hot chick’s number! [23 january 2003]

    through a series of events that won’t be gotten into at this stage, siggimus gets really hot chick’s number

    oh, man!! [22 january 2003]

    a beer would be just the thing right about now

    siggimus & spet wonder [22 january 2003]

    which comes first, country music or braindeath?

    go grænir frostpinnar 😀 [20 january 2003]

    go grænir frostpinnar 😀

    that explains it! [20 january 2003]

    finds note from fortune cookie from friday night

    (: don’t worry about the schedule—just have fun 🙂

    that must be the reason siggimus drank all dem beers friday night…

    finally! finally! finally! [19 january 2003]

    at long fucking last!

    you have absolutely no idea how long siggimus has waited for this

    🙂

    😐 [18 january 2003]

    |:

    hmmm [18 january 2003]

    stalking me — stalking you

    ?

    überputerfixer 😀 [18 january 2003]

    skillfully inserts a brand new power supply into puter & tah-dah!! it works 😀

    man! siggimus really is a genius, eh?

    oooooooooooooolalala!!!! [17 january 2003]

    it’s that time again 😀

    time for the mc fc celebration again

    party!!

    a most enjoyable prospect, seeing as siggimus was last season’s champion, lending kjo a crushing blow that time

    anyhoo, good prospects, a few obligatory beers at work, den off to drink some more beers at the party. having been a good boy, siggimus is only fined 3 beers, which is way below the average

    well, doesn’t get cup, but does on other hand get an electric toothbrush (a subtle hint, hidden somewhere, possibly?) & a fancy document stating that siggimus was the best of the best

    no frame, though. all the other buggers who got such diplomas got them in frames 🙁

    so, beer is drunk

    all of it

    actually we coulda used some more of the stuff

    & siggimus is ordered by boss to lie on floor & given a toe-massage :/

    damn! that thing works

    eeeek!!! [16 january 2003]

    coming home from what is possibly the longest streak of victory in sports history, siggimus finds the mousehole dark & lifeless

    right away, siggimus suspects old man landlord of foul play, seeing as he seems rather intent on siggimus not having a washing machine

    anyhoo, a friendly & not-letting-ony old man landlord turns juice back on & siggimus returns to his hole, to find that everything works, except… woe is siggimus!!

    puter fried 😐

    this makes things all the more confusing, as this increases the number of suspects. siggimus has powerful enemies, you know

    mighty powerful

    so, the latest theory assumes that the lion has finally stirred & arisen after a long & eerie silence

    that doggone cia at it again

    siggimus might have to come up with a new curse, eh?

    kjo begs for mercy [16 january 2003]

    kjo, complaining that he hasn’t won a game since november, when siggimus accused him of paying the wily lawyer to take him outta commission, & asked that siggimus release him from the curse

    not that siggimus admits to having done such a thing, but smiles toward kjo in a way that indicates the possibility of the matter being taken under consideration

    possible autobiograpy titles [15 january 2003]

    -four stalkers & a funeral

    turns out siggimus’ b2b (that would be code for á, siggimus’ bride2b. must be careful, computers have eyes) is an ex stalker

    & quite good at it actually

    now there’s a thing that can come in handy

    wooof!! [15 january 2003]

    works like dog

    hmmm [14 january 2003]

    no

    haha!! [11 january 2003]

    jón bróðir up there with the hero himself 😀

    minnas aplenty [10 january 2003]

    turns out siggimus’ minna isn’t the only minna. there’s lotsa minnas. some of’em even outta this world!

    🙂 [9 january 2003]

    here’s a little something to cheer up your day

    cleans mousehole 😐 [8 january 2003]

    siggimus still ain’t quite clear what brought this on, but while the results of the tests are inconclusive, siggimus speculates it’s the responsibilities kicking in

    the decision to have children with á has definitely changed siggimus for the better

    gone is the flippant foolery, in comes a sound, decisive young man, a man ready to shoulder the responsibilities following procreations

    now all that remains to be seen is whether he’ll like á up close

    whoa nelly! [7 january 2003]

    even nelly furtado feels sorry for siggimus!! sending him a mail asking; are you married & lonely or single & dateless?

    :/ how did she know?

    thank you nelly furtado

    ewwww [5 january 2003]

    😐

    doesn’t [4 january 2003]

    go to borgarnes

    siggif invites siggimus along, & siggimus is indeed tempted, as a grand exhibition of his globe trekking is opening in borgarnes art museum & a fine night can be counted on to follow in grand company

    again, the doggone siggimus back is to blame for all of siggimus’ misfortunes

    jodaz visits [3 january 2003]

    being lonely, jodaz pops over for a chat

    being a foul & evil creature of darkness, siggimus gives him a drop of whiskey or 2. them drops soon get a beer-prone jodaz drunk

    tihi

    then all go to kaffibrennslan to meet up with siggif & øyvind & some danish dude siggimus didn’t catch the name of

    jodaz soon bails. apparently to get hit on & an autograph by megas

    *trumpet* [1 january 2003]

    takes it easy

    happy new one, all! [1 january 2003]

    trouble with fridge!! [28 december 2002]

    siggimus has trouble locating his beer in fridge ’cause the light don’t work

    *buuuuuuuuurp!* [28 december 2002]

    erm… excuse siggimus?

    überputerfixer [28 december 2002]

    called upon to fix sis’ puter

    puha!

    dis time it’s seriously messed up & the artillery is called for. dis might take a while *rolls up sleeve*

    jodaz visited [27 december 2002]

    with a sixpack

    forgot da whiskey

    after quite a wait, b g turns up & is duly impressed by jodaz’ downloading everything he asks for in legoland

    soon after jonkurteiz drops by with maria & all have a boogie

    den off to iluks’ where ego is got drunk in front of 1 of iluks’ puters & drives around. funnily enough the bugger seems like a better driver drunk than sober

    dat’s good to know about a professional driver

    pizza is ordered & a desultory jodaz takes 23 mins to eventually leave. pissed, as always that the gang doesn’t instantly join him in the exodus to 22 the second he raises the issue. well, tough

    wow! [26 december 2002]

    “i live in a house made entirely from tin, with four tin walls, a roof of tin, a chimney and a door. entirely from tin”

    colourful bunch

    happy [24 december 2002]

    mas y’all!!

    may you all get what you want & have a jolly old time!!

    tihi! [24 december 2002]

    web siggimus attracts all sorts of weirdos 😀

    doesn’t buy washing machine [22 december 2002]

    does, on the other hand, buy a fridge

    now siggimus has two fridges

    first, of course there’s the tiny fridge that houses 9 small beercans

    second, there’s the new old one, that could house them 9 small beercans & the tiny fridge & some more beer!!!

    😀

    sweet heaven

    now all dats left to do is go buy lots & lots of beer

    tanx to snæja, her egg & their little’uns for da fridge

    hmmm [21 december 2002]

    🙁

    but meeting with j & f was definitely worth the money. several beers & a good time had by all, except siggimus who was accidentally driving & stayed off the booze

    tsk tsk [20 december 2002]

    instead of a shiny cup, siggimus is met with scorn & the vicious tongues of envious fellow players, who have great trouble coping with other people’s successes

    siggimus #1 [19 december 2002]

    it’s official!!

    siggimus is the undisputed champion of the grand ole fc mc club

    admittedly siggimus wasn’t quite up to his best, but his teammates pulled him ashore

    siggimus is expecting a large golden cup with his name on it in big beautiful letters in the morning

    mitä? [18 december 2002]

    the finnish smurfs do the ketchup song?

    & gailezers!!!

    ‘toss me!’ [16 december 2002]

    none the worser for being seen again so soon again

    countryside visited [14 december 2002]

    siggif da farmer invited siggmus & all & sundry to come visit at the farm

    siggimus jumped at this chance to be in nature again & manages to convince jonkurteiz & ego to join him in the quest

    da search for live midget poultry goes foul, on account of siggimus’ measly contacts in the reykjavik underworld

    anyhoo, siggif da farmer is a gracious host, cooking & drinking other people’s beer

    great fun is had & pots of alcohol is drunk

    the macallan goes down smoothlike & keeps siggimus & siggif the farmer up chatting ’till the wee hours, while the wimmin’ surrender soon after midnight

    retiring, siggif, whose woman is off in eastern germany (& preggers, it turns out! der’s a little siggif comin´!), passes out on the mattress earlier offered to siggimus, leaving the slightly less comfy sofabed thingy for siggimus

    way too few hours later, siggimus wakes up to find the mattress bare & so decides to take his saharan-dry throat down to the comfier mattress for a bit more sleeping

    about an hour later siggimus wakes up from a dream of hairdryers to find his hair being violently blown upon through a vent in the floor, a part of the siggif da farmer’s intricate thingy of heating system. apparently it involves a noisy contraption starting with a roar once in a while, heating up & drying air before squirting it into all kinds of rooms all over da place. all dis regulated by a thermostat on the wall in the livingroom, da largest & coldest room in da house, not taking into account wee little rooms with closed windows & siggimuses inside

    well, anyhoo

    must do dat again soon

    ooooooo!! [14 december 2002]

    wow

    that was about the shortest 3 hours ever!!

    warmup [13 december 2002]

    watches first one to get into da mood

    !!! [12 december 2002]

    what are these people on?!!?

    hrmpf!! siggimus ain’t at top >:(

    you be judge: which is better? this or this?

    or these buggers?!!?

    cooooool!! [11 december 2002]

    try it!!

    tihi! [11 december 2002]

    why?!!?

    mmmmmm [10 december 2002]

    definitely worth it!!

    ‘we´ve bred all our kittens white | so you can see them in the night’

    even an added verse

    oh, the humanity!!!! [10 december 2002]

    not that the choice was very difficult, but why, why, why, why, why, why?????

    why, in the name of all that’s holy, is siggimus asked to make such a choice?!!?

    1 vs. 2

    at least tonight should be good

    aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhhh!!! [9 december 2002]

    the horror!! the horror!!

    rhinotillexomania [9 december 2002]

    yet another thing siggimus is afflicted with :/

    not that it’s much of a pain 😀

    😐 [8 december 2002]

    freaky shit!!

    phone rings: *drrrrriiiiinnnnggg!!*

    siggimus picks up

    ‘hullo?’

    noone there

    hmm?

    ‘cooooo-eeeee!!!???’

    ‘aren’t you supposed to do some heavy breathing or something?’

    *crackle*

    siggimus turns down the volume on taraf de haïdouks on telly

    erm…? same happens on da oder end!!

    nanananananananana

    slowly a lightbulb goes off in da siggimus head, with a litle buzz

    siggimus hesitantly puts other hand in pocket, pulling out da siggimus mobile

    tah-dah!!

    der’s da culprit!!

    damn sneaky little siggimus mobile, making prank calls to siggimus from the confines of his pocket!!

    ball [7 december 2002]

    a bit clumsy sometimes, but nice hooters!! 😀

    b g again [7 december 2002]

    much the same as usual, a few beers, some coffee, some cave

    cripple billy [6 december 2002]

    sees another play. this 1 by that irish dude

    liked that other 1 much better, siggimus must say

    cave autograph!!! [6 december 2002]

    turns out siggimus got nick cave’s autograph a while back!!

    the cave was laughing & making jolly, so siggimus whipped out all his cds & asked his autograph. of course the king obliges, but writes his name in a very odd manner, so it doesn’t even fit on da cd!!

    soon after dis, b woke up

    siggimus hasn’t been able to find them cds anywhere 🙁

    whatthefuck?!? [5 december 2002]

    what on earth are these people doing checking out web siggimus???

    ne ne ne ne ne [5 december 2002]

    kiss siggimus’ pungent feet

    give him 8 pots of money

    promise him your firstborn

    beg

    be a real hot chick & seduce him thrice

    be 2 not quite so hot chicks & seduce him thrice

    & you might be considered for the seat next to siggimus on dec. 12 at 14.00

    might

    [4 december 2002]

    again, doesn’t see the latest bond flick

    trims nails instead

    yippee

    quoth siggimus [3 december 2002]

    you’re not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree

    b g drops in [2 december 2002]

    doesn’t bring any beer

    brings something much better

    wiiiiide griin!

    siggimus da steamroller [1 december 2002]

    going to mom’s for the weekly laundry treatment, siggimus is hijacked & put to work on a gingerbread house

    being practically an expert in this area, siggimus rises to the occasion & transforms himself into a steamroller & flattens the dough

  • october 2002

    big day [26 october 2002]

    takes it easy on this big day, birth of siggimus, first day of winter & first snow in reykjavík celebrated

    well, didn’t celebrate the snow very much, but…

    always a pleasant day, siggimus gets to hear from a lot of people; mommy calls; ágústa sends postcard with used teaching woman; krumma calls (has to be reminded, but still); slavena calls, but only gets answering machine 🙁 ; seyma sends sms; björn greets on msn; maus & sonia on icq; jds calls, but is totally ignorant of the importance of the day; r sends sms just when siggimus is about to give up on her

    just takes it easy, makes a potent brew of coffee, has a snúður & a tebolla

    then meets krumma for a bite at súfistinn

    coming back to rent a flick

    siggimus notices that nature puts on a show for him, aurora borealis doing a bit of dance as he walks to the video store

    yeeee-haaaa!! [25 october 2002]

    party on!

    heads on over to óðinn & helga with jonkurteiz & bjössi gaga to warm up for a big concert!

    the smallest venue they ever played, only about 300 people in the upper floor of grand rokk

    but they was great anyways 😀

    siggimus & jonkurteiz stand right next to the stage, close enough to touch 2 of the bandmembers & spit on the rest (had they been of a spitting inclination)

    anyhoo, they puts on a grand show, excellent

    a lot of avid fans want to be where siggimus is & the front of the stage is pretty crowded, meaning that if one dances, all dance

    funny how most of them buggers doesn’t look very much like a rockstar

    one of’em infact reminded both siggimus & stefanv of a mary, of an englishteaching persuasion (cf. sólþurrkað múrmeldýr)

    sillily enough, her name is actually mary 😐

    but she rocks!

    oh yeah, aoq was der too

    them rocks

    digs the latin lyrics & the appa-dance

    lotr [25 october 2002]

    siggimus begins the warmup 🙂

    time for a new lesson? [23 october 2002]

    “war is god’s way of teaching americans geography”

    said one ambrose bierce, american satirist & clever dude apparently

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! 🙂 [23 october 2002]

    *finishes reading*

    mmmmmmm!! [22 october 2002]

    *reads*

    mmmm [21 october 2002]

    *reads*

    babysits [19 october 2002]

    yet again, superherocostume is donned for some 24 hours of taking care of little andri

    puha!

    well, pretty much all he’s interested in is da puter & spider-man da game

    siggimus scores a few points with a few slices from pizza hut & simpson’s socks & a pooping sheep

    so, things go great (not at all surprising, really) & andri isn’t too happy about leaving

    obligatory beer drinking again [18 october 2002]

    puh!

    fortunately the last time this year that siggimus is obliged to stay after work & help purge the world of beer

    anyhoo, a few of the cool colleagues decide to head on over to sonja’s for a wee party

    a very successful one at that

    the bathroom being unlockable makes for some pretty interesting incidents, such as the entirety of sonja’s shower

    lots of people, lots of booze & lots of fun

    too much fun for some, actually

    stories of buggers being carried home by friends, buggers falling asleep in taxis before managing to utter the destination, 7 broken glasses, cigarette burns & flying down stairs

    bjössi & beer [17 october 2002]

    bjössi gaga is pretty eager to come visit siggimus & even offers to bring a beer or so for siggimus

    he’s alone for a week now & so proud of not drinking anything at all last night, that he buys a sixpack & invites himself to siggimus to celebrate

    cool chats, although bg is still bitching about the lack of music 😐

    drriiingg!! [15 october 2002]

    sólveig!?

    sod off, you old fart!

    whoa!! [14 october 2002]

    what the fuck is that, who invited it into casa siggimus & does it really need all those legs???

    phone rings!! [14 october 2002]

    but siggimus isn’t inga 🙁

    überputerfixer [13 october 2002]

    finishes debugging the other puter & sets up a third one for going online

    of course wearing da superhero siggimus costume

    puterfixer [12 october 2002]

    dons superhero siggimus costume & fixes one puter (well, debugs) & starts to debug another

    bjössi gaga [11 october 2002]

    bjössi gaga comes for a visit, bringing a sixpack of heineken

    da ole looney is happy to have siggimus in da neighbourhood

    but dat goes without saying, right?

    dis ain’t funny no more

    anyhoo, siggimus has a new crib

    the definition of tiny. but as long as siggimus can toss & turn in bed & take showers, he’s happy

    well, relatively

    when he’s set up a desk, bought a bigger fridge & a washing machine & got rid of the cat piss smell, he’ll be in sweet heaven

    thanks [6 october 2002]

    takes jonkurteiz for hot chocolate & tuna bread at the gray cat as thanks for moving-help

    at gray cat, megababe andrea róberts sees fit to look toward siggimus every so often

    probably to make sure he was checking her babehood out

    do dese people stop existing if noone is checking dem out?

    uncertainty trip [5 october 2002]

    weeeee!!!

    the funnest time siggimus has had in ages!!

    der was beer

    but siggimus was big hero, of course

    der was eating

    den later der was de siggimus games; gunna winning a little cognac

    den der was drinking & singing & dancing & some crotchgrabbing

    mmmmm!

    sis’ birthday & sober boogey [4 october 2002]

    after eating with sis & family, siggimus drives out to jds’s joint to join him, iluks & jonkurteiz for a little boogey, although sober

    good, healthy fun

    anuptaphobia [2 october 2002]
