joins bh & his little ‘uns on a trip to hvanneyri, siggif’s residence<\/p>\n

wooppeee!<\/p>\n

now dat’s what siggimus calls fun. driving for an hour, listening to kiddie songs, den meeting with siggif, driving to hre\u00f0avatn for a wee hike<\/p>\n

turns out dem kids is complete & utter brats<\/p>\n

almost enough to turn a siggimus off kids forever!<\/p>\n

almost<\/p>\n

when da gang gets back, steaks are thrown on the barbie & a delicious meal prepared. yummy!! *slurp!*<\/p>\n

meeting [30 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

in da wee r-group<\/p>\n

dis time held at berglind’s, who whips out mocha & homebaked bread & goodies<\/p>\n

crapped on [28 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

strutting around downtown, going to feed the duck on the pond, siggimus is evilly & ignobly crapped on by a vile foul bird<\/p>\n

damn thee, oh foul foul bird<\/p>\n

where’s titus? [27 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

wanting to make amends, siggif invites<\/a> siggimus to go see that single performance of titus<\/a>, outdoors & stuff<\/p>\n

siggif picks up siggimus at just after 18.00 hrs to feed him<\/p>\n

takes siggimus to his grandma’s for a wee dish of delicious leftovers<\/p>\n

then over to siggif’s for a bit of redwine<\/p>\n

19.00. beep! beep! siggif takes a pic of siggimus with his one-time-use camera<\/p>\n

“what say us heroes walk to the theatre?”<\/p>\n

“sure, how long does it take?” “oh, about an hour”<\/p>\n

“ah. siggimus just asks because the play starts in 40 mins”<\/p>\n

“puh! they’re starting the play with a parade somewhere. we’ll just show up at where the play will actually be performed at 20.30. 21 even”<\/p>\n

“oh, ok. as siggif says”<\/p>\n

so, off is strutted & a bottle of red drunk en route<\/p>\n

20.00. beep! beep! siggif takes a pic of lotsa busses with his one-time-use camera<\/p>\n

dey gets to dat place at approx. 20.30 & start looking for a play or a parade. neither is openly apparent<\/p>\n

so, dey decides to wait for this parade thing inside glaumbar<\/p>\n

an hour & a few drinks pass. still no parade<\/p>\n

21.00. beep! beep! siggif takes a pic of the insides of glaumbar with his one-time-use camera<\/p>\n

so, at ca. 21.30 dey goes off in search of dat parade<\/p>\n

de closest dey comes is finding a lot of people coming out of an amphitheatre of sorts<\/p>\n

hmmmm? siggimus must wonder to himself<\/p>\n

22.00. beep! beep! siggif takes a pic of lots of people coming out of titus with his one-time-use camera<\/p>\n

well, at least they makes the premier party & get to have themselves a few brews<\/p>\n

den dey trots over to tapas<\/a> bar for a bit to eat<\/p>\n

23.00. beep! beep! siggif tries to take a pic of the hotly waitress with the blonde hair down to her butt at the tapas bar with his one-time-use camera. she ain’t too happy about it<\/p>\n

anyhoo, enough about that. suffice it to say that a lot of pubs were visited & a lot of drinking was done & a pic was taken on the hour every hour & still everybody was home at just over 2!!<\/p>\n

pops over to siggif’s [26 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

even takes a taxi, because siggif sounds soo eager to see siggimus<\/p>\n

& who can blame him? honestly?!!?<\/p>\n

anyhoo, siggif on phone upon arrival<\/p>\n

when done, he stands up & makes weewee in a bottle<\/p>\n

erm..?<\/p>\n

well, dey chats for a bit before siggif gets up to get his bottle, takes it out to the balcony where a spooked siggimus sees him make weewee on plants & pour the contents on the bottle along with it<\/p>\n

“whatthe#%$”????” exclaims siggimus surprisedly<\/p>\n

“nitrates, man!” replies siggif, shaking his head at siggimus’ ignorance. “nitrates!”<\/p>\n

“nothing like it for the plants, man!”<\/p>\n

in the middle of a lecture on dry toilets & the terrible waste involved in flushing this precious stuff down the toilet, literally, siggif’s stumach sees fit to upset him a bit<\/p>\n

this makes siggif get up & invite siggimus to sleep in da master bedroom (all by his lonesome, mind you!) because siggif prefers roughing it on a wee mattress<\/p>\n

den siggif promptly falls asleep<\/p>\n

erm..?<\/p>\n

precisely 59 mins have passed since siggimus got off dat 1st taxi when he gets in da oder 1<\/p>\n

k\u00e4nner ni doften af r\u00e5g? [25 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

siggimus will have to plead temporary insanity to the charges of going to see a play in swedish<\/p>\n

temporary insanity & free tickets<\/p>\n

anyhoo. despite barely understanding half, siggimus had quite a bit of fun. not bad, the bits<\/a> that siggimus got<\/p>\n

afterwards, the gang (b&j&f) go pubhopping<\/p>\n

this has quite improved siggimus’ swedish<\/p>\n

again!! [25 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

hottest doctor on planet calls siggimus again<\/p>\n

this time to tell him there might actually be a bit wrong with him<\/p>\n

well, it would explain a few things…<\/p>\n

:'( [20 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

sometimes even the painfullest of truths must be accepted<\/p>\n

dat darn neck costs siggimus a camping trip with 3 chicks<\/p>\n

*sob*<\/p>\n

wild night [19 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

showing up at 1900 hrs as discussed, siggimus manages to shock jds, who hadn’t even contemplated taking a shower yet<\/p>\n

well, der’s pizza & the macallan & beer & a lot of chatting<\/p>\n

den downtown in othorvaldsson’s agricultural machine for a beer at nelly’s. den over to kaffibarinn for an 8 second stop before heading over to \u2014 surprise!! \u2014 22<\/p>\n

watches da gang wiggle der for a bit before heading off to a rendez-vous with the vi\u00f0eygoers at thorvaldsen bar<\/p>\n

all cheer at sight of siggimus, who then goes & orders a double 10yo glengoyne<\/p>\n

mmm<\/p>\n

& who appears outta nowhere?!!?<\/p>\n

j\u00f3hanna!! screaming something about not forgetting her<\/p>\n

siggimus promises not to<\/p>\n

promises to keep the dream alive<\/p>\n

j\u00f3hanna lives in our hearts<\/p>\n

den over to kaffi list, where \u00feorri is can be found, looking like a mix between i am sam<\/em> & someone drinking for da first time. den found again discussing the need for more ships in switzerland with dat director feller, jonni<\/p>\n

jonkurteiz!! [19 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

well, ‘work’ would have to be considered an overstatement<\/p>\n

back<\/p>\n

flick [9 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

going silly with boredom & having poked his eyes ’till it hurt, siggimus gives up & goes out to find something to wile away the time<\/p>\n

it comes in the form of two movies; 1 of’em<\/a> featuring one of the hottest chicks in moving pictures dese years & da oder 1, erm… well, siggimus forgets *blush*<\/p>\n

heading homeward [7 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

ouch!<\/p>\n

da airmattress was airless again, but go figure…<\/p>\n

siggimus famously fast at packing his tent & somehow after a few hours of wrangling, all the baggage fits into da car again. den da car is pointed toward reykjavik & off is speeded<\/p>\n

*poof*<\/p>\n

after about 10 minutes of digging da spare tire is reached & consequently screwed on in place of da punctured one<\/p>\n

rest of trip goes well. quite a nice place, dat systrakaffi in klaustur<\/p>\n

yikes! siggimus hikes! [6 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

the plan was for being off at 7.30 & back at around 19.30 to fire up da barbie<\/p>\n

waking up at 10, a new plan was instantly forged & a shorter route found: b\u00e6jarsta\u00f0ask\u00f3gur instead of kj\u00f3s<\/p>\n

well, a lot of sweat was sweated<\/p>\n

& that was indeed a delightful little forest<\/p>\n

after a bit of stretching, the barbie is fired up & lots of stuff thrown on it & then eaten<\/p>\n

just before party dies out, minna decides to join & keep it going<\/p>\n

that is one charming cow! go minna!!<\/p>\n

off dey goes! [5 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

siggimus takes off from work at noon in order to pack & get ready for da big trip!<\/p>\n

has to wait a bit, but eventually a wee gang shows up to pick him up: kolla, steinn (da rock?) & arna. siggimus’ luggage pushed into car with shoehorn & off dey goes!<\/p>\n

happy trails! except for the bit where it rains two cats & a dog<\/p>\n

anyhoo, dey don’t turn around despite distrusting declarations of g\u00fasta that it is not raining in skaftafell, where they meet up with a bunch of people from da police & immigration<\/p>\n

well, tents are tented, hikes are planned & people are gotten to know & beer is drunk & glacier is walked to but seems to have shrunk & disappeared behind a very cold river<\/p>\n

yea!! [4 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

like a dream come true, siggimus gets a call from kolla, who invites him on a camping weekend in skaftafell, interspersed with a bit of hiking<\/p>\n

party party party!!!<\/p>\n

doesn’t get tiny fridge [3 july 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

an attempt to exchange the boing coupons siggimus managed to wrangle from the siggimus mom for a wee refrigirator fails<\/p>\n
