karaoke of death [31 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

on way home from golf, siggimus is plagued with karaoke from hell on the bus<\/p>\n

krissi & sibbi & \u00f3skar & gulli & d\u00edd\u00ed & bj\u00f6rgvin torture the rest with their feeble attempts at singing<\/p>\n

ugh!<\/p>\n

*prospect of constant nightmares*<\/p>\n

golf!! [31 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

\ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n

turns out siggimus is a natural at the thing<\/p>\n

this is discovered at a tournament for the siggimus colleagues in \u00fathl\u00ed\u00f0 (biskupstungur) where it rains buckets of cats & dogs for hours on end until everything is soaking wet, even the golfballs<\/p>\n

too bad it’s such a silly sport<\/p>\n

otherwise siggimus’d be liable to take it up & be great at it<\/p>\n

party [30 august 2002]<\/span><\/p>\n

a wee party to bid adieu to the summer employees at work. siggimus uses it as a chance to wind down a bit after the tiring week<\/p>\n

puha!! [30 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

thinking that the grand opening would mean a break or a few days of less stress was obviously a very silly conclusion<\/p>\n

it’s been worse!!!<\/p>\n

if this continues, siggimus will have his name changed back to kunta kinte<\/a><\/p>\n

tratteraaaa! [26 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

grand opening of the latest siggimus wee project<\/a><\/p>\n

puh! [24 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

frantic cleaning of house<\/p>\n

woo-haa! [23 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

siggimus stops working for a bit to join some of the ole gang from uni for a feast at players (a joint that turns out to be a sports bar instead of a strip joint). having to wait while some silly buggers watch the end of some silly football match (none of the teams involved was fylkir, the only reason anyone should be interested in the silly sport at all)<\/p>\n

anyhoo, addi was there & kolla & \u00e1g\u00fasta, of course. also d\u00f3ra (who siggimus had ignobly forgotten all about :\/), sigga & svava & anna kapitola. j & gu\u00f0r\u00fan represented the teachers<\/p>\n

also a few buggers siggimus doesn’t really know<\/p>\n

&<\/p>\n

*shudder*<\/p>\n

gunnhildur \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n

now there’s a person whose existence siggimus could have done without being reminded of<\/p>\n

*relaxing yoga stuff*<\/p>\n

otherwise, siggimus has a wicked grand time<\/p>\n

the incident [23 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

ok, ders dis man in a wheelchair in da bar. he has dis chick with him to push him around & kiss him<\/p>\n

as things go in bars, this man got drunk in his wheelchair<\/p>\n

as things go with drunk men in bars, they need to do #1<\/p>\n

as things go with drunk men in wheelchairs in bars, they can’t stand up against them urinals. that’s one of the reasons they need them chicks around<\/p>\n

as she drives him into the little boys’ room, she announces to all who want to know: ‘don’t worry boys! i’m not going to peek at your willies! just his!’<\/p>\n

so, the chick whips out a little plastic container (bekken in icelandic :|) & then yanks out the feller’s pecker so he can go<\/p>\n

they chat merrily during<\/p>\n

mostly about football<\/p>\n

afterwards, chick cleans bekken in wee sink & then dries it under the blower thingy<\/p>\n

so<\/p>\n

what siggimus wants to know is: where does siggimus sign up for a chick like that??!!?<\/p>\n

again! [22 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

another 12 hour day<\/p>\n

puh! [21 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

a huge big long 12 hour day leaves a siggimus tired<\/p>\n

but extremely productive!<\/p>\n

siggimus will unveil his latest project sometime around this weekend…<\/p>\n

shrinks [20 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

the (probably) smallest reading group in da world grows even smaller<\/p>\n

an attempt to enlarge it actually leads to it shrinking<\/p>\n

hehe [18 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

‘i’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy’<\/p>\n

asked how he would like to be remembered: ‘achievement is for senators and scholars. at one time i had ambitions but i had them removed by a doctor in buffalo. it started as cyst, it grew under my arm and i had to have new shirts made, it was awful. but i have them in a jar at home now’<\/p>\n

asked how he attained his signature vocal style: ‘terry, i drink my own urine’<\/p>\n

tom waits sure has a way with words \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

misses culture night [17 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

kinda on purpose. decides to retire from the world, take it easy with a few excellent flicks if you will<\/p>\n

rents one<\/a>, then sees another<\/a> on tube (with subtitles in danish)<\/p>\n

dang!! [16 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

almost gets to meet elma l\u00edsa<\/p>\n

after all this time!! to miss out on an encounter like that because of a very important & exciting meeting<\/p>\n

ohhhhh<\/p>\n

life most surely & indeed sucks, right?<\/p>\n

instant bath [14 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

takes the instantest bath ever<\/p>\n

scolding hot to boot<\/p>\n

hmmm? [8 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

a slightly disappointed cripple doctor tells siggimus that his feet ain’t shorter than the other & both of them too long<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

siggimus was getting used to the thought of being a cripple<\/p>\n

measured [6 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

siggimus is made to lie on a long ruler & x-rayed for to check which leg is how much longer than the other & which both of his feet’s too long<\/p>\n

blah! [2-5 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

does practically nothing<\/p>\n

oh, watches a flick<\/a> or two<\/a><\/p>\n

whoa<\/a>!!<\/p>\n

snooooooker [1 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

in a farewell ceremony for jonkurteiz \u2014 seeing him off kinda stuff \u2014 jds, iluks, ego & siggimus join old man river for the longest game of snooker since t. rex gave up the sport<\/p>\n

siggimus actually hits a few of the little balls into some of them pocket thingies<\/p>\n

siggimus ce h\u00e9ros<\/p>\n

cripple!!! [1 august 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

one of [siggimus’] legs is shorter than the other| ‘n’ both [siggimus’] feet’s too long<\/p>\n

to plagiphrase a lost genious<\/p>\n

turns out siggimus is a cripple!! one of his legs is shorter than the other, which is on the other hand longer<\/p>\n

could explain about 5 years worth of intermittent nightmarish backpains<\/p>\n
