yearshightide! [27 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

the siggimus & keg play went off most excellently & most people seemed happy ?<\/p>\n

good job, siggimus, keg, sif & bergmann!!<\/p>\n

*pat on back of self*<\/p>\n

preparations [22-26 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

4 da yearshightide<\/p>\n

puh!!<\/p>\n

works off a sweat \u2019till all hours! making books & airline tickets & checklists & then distributing the lot!<\/p>\n

thank god for dat beach ball. it has kept siggimus sane\u2026<\/p>\n

seyma\u2019s b-day [21 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

sends her an sms ?<\/p>\n

misses sis\u2019s b-day [20 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

being busy at work & preparing for the yearshightide (burning cds like a mo-fo), siggimus misses sis\u2019 b-day & has to endure tales of several cake monsters devouring all the good stuff<\/p>\n

puh<\/p>\n

anna karenina [19 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

hmm *frown*<\/p>\n

not quite engrossing enough, eh?<\/p>\n

some excellent ideas on how to port long passages of book to a short scene on stage, but in the end, siggimus wasn\u2019t all that impressed<\/p>\n

fun day at work!! [19 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

hah!!<\/p>\n

siggimus has funnest day ever at work strutting around with his complimentary yearshightide inflatable beach ball<\/p>\n

having come across siggimus in 5 different locations all over the building during her newcomer tour, there is now a brand new chick at work who probably thinks siggimus\u2019 soul purpose is to take care of the company\u2019s inflatable beach ball<\/p>\n

flogging [18 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

siggimus & team get a royal flogging at football, in a match that brings new meaning to the word \u2018losing\u2019<\/p>\n

preparations & reading group [17 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

after 8 busy hours of work, siggimus has to stay behind to start all-important preparations for the yearshightide at work; a party to end all parties<\/p>\n

printing out little books, sticking stickers on little packages, selecting perky music<\/p>\n

den shows up for first meeting in small reading group almost an hour late<\/p>\n

b & krumma fairly pissed, but forgive siggimus eventually<\/p>\n

fuck!! [14 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

man! siggimus has what is probably his worst bus-related incident ever<\/p>\n

waiting for washing machine to finish, siggimus manages to just miss the bus<\/p>\n

sits, waits for ca. 20 mins for the next one. di dey da dum<\/p>\n

still reasonably calm<\/p>\n

*bounce, bounce, bounce*<\/p>\n

*tap, tap tap*<\/p>\n

driving into the bus stop where he changes buses some 30 mins later, siggimus sees #12 driving away, thinking, well, siggimus\u2019ll just catch some other one. still no foaming at the mouth<\/p>\n

30 mins later, as #12 is about to leave again, a fairly furious siggimus figures he musta misunderstood something or other a little bit<\/p>\n

result:<\/p>\n

it took siggimus 1,5 hours to travel these 5-6 km<\/p>\n

siggimus woulda gotten there faster walking!<\/p>\n

siggimus woulda saved pots of money (& several tons of aggravation) taking a taxi!<\/p>\n

a cow woulda gotten there faster walking!!<\/p>\n

elin [13 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

being in town, elin finds the time to drop in on siggimus a bit, checking out his place & delivering his order of 12yo the macallan<\/p>\n

*sluuuu-urp!*<\/p>\n

for a final touch before she leaves, elin makes use of the restroom facilities<\/p>\n

siggimus is practically brought to tears when he notices that she has left the seat up & the light on<\/p>\n

mmmm, just like old haremy times\u2026<\/p>\n

booooooooooooogie! [12 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

starting out with a bit of force-fed beer, the compass is then pointed in general direction of snorri\u2019s place for a wee bit of work-related boogie<\/p>\n

upon the discovery that snorri has no keys to the premises, he expertly slithers through the kitchen window like a snake, & boogie is begun<\/p>\n

soon a guitar is dug out & snorri & bj\u00f6ssi greifi & \u00f3li take turns plucking at that thing with the rest of the gang singing at the top of their lungs, quite a few going hoarse along the way<\/p>\n

concert [10 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

siggimus generously invites b & elin to concert with his \u2018vip+2\u2019 pass<\/p>\n

great to see elin again! she\u2019s designing some sort of cultural mall on arnarh\u00f3ll<\/p>\n

\u2026or maybe not?<\/p>\n

anyhoo, dikta<\/a>, l\u00fana<\/a> & bris<\/a> try & entertain the lot & do a fair job of it<\/p>\n

mayonesa [9 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

mayonesa que yo bato como simple mayonesa no se ni como me llamo ni donde vivo\u2026nime interesa<\/p>\n

*wiggle wiggle*<\/p>\n

mayonesa mayonesa!<\/p>\n

torture never stops! [8 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

velkomin \u00ed myndat\u00f6ku \u2014 til a\u00f0 byrja \u2014 noti\u00f0 r\u00e9tta mynt<\/p>\n

& then on bus siggimus is hit by toni effing braxton\u2019s unbreak my heart<\/em><\/p>\n

what has siggimus done to deserve this?!?<\/p>\n

& bj\u00f6rk, of course\u2026 [7 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

siggimus mingles with the jet set, going to a world premiere of that thing<\/a><\/p>\n

gots to say it was not what he had hoped for<\/p>\n

a bit confusing\u2026<\/p>\n

aimless?<\/p>\n

young [7 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

one night, gordon offered to cook chicken stew for young on his tour bus, named after his song \u2018pocahontas\u2019. as she cooked, young sat adjusting a toy train set, another of his long-term obsessions. he has 750ft of track laid out at broken arrow and in 1995 he bought a toy company, lionel trains, to help him communicate his passion to his son, ben, who has cerebral palsy. young reconfigures the electronics to provide auditory and visual feedback: sound and movement that stimulates interaction with his son<\/p>\n

\u2018part of the train set was a model cow that made moo-ing noises,\u2019 laughed gordon. \u2018and neil wasn\u2019t happy with the cow sound. he didn\u2019t think it was realistic enough. so he kept fiddling with the electronics. he\u2019d then get the cow to moo, and he\u2019d ask us what we thought. was it realistic enough? did it need some more work? what was wrong? he was at it for an hour or so. it was amazing how a toy cow could maintain his interest for so long\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

hmm? siggimus doesn\u2019t find it amazing at all\u2026<\/p>\n

more<\/a><\/p>\n

sniff, sniff [4 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

strange buggers downstairs have put out the birdcage for their squeaky parrot<\/p>\n

little elephant family upstairs has taken the big inflatable santa out of the window<\/p>\n

siggimus seriously considering taking christmas decorations off balcony<\/p>\n

anyone else smell spring in the air?<\/p>\n

almost fooled [1 april 2002]<\/span><\/h3>\n

siggimus hears pj has wed<\/p>\n

just before siggimus pulls trigger, someone shouts \u201capril fool\u2019s day!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
