Hello there, my darling. How are you doing?

No, I did not leave the previous post up there forever to milk every drop of congrats I could muster out of you. Promise. I'm just lazy, okay? So... I was working this weekend (poor me)(well... poor-ish) but I still had some fun.
You know.
And then I went to the amína/Sigur Rós concert on Sunday, and it was just fantastic. And I got to see Sólrún again! Good, good.
And now I'm, ah... okay... I don't have anything thrilling to share with you. Will work tomorrow and then get a three day weekend. Should I throw a party? Nah... too lazy. Hmmm. If I do, you know you're invited, right?
'cause I loooove you!

This picture was taken exactly one year ago!
Funny how time flies!
What else can I add an exclamation mark too?? NOT TO A QUESTION, AT LEAST!!
I was so young then!
Innocent! (-ish!)
Hugs and kisses!!

Hello everyone, I'm yaaawning now, although it's not even eleven o'clock. I'm on the morning shift this week, which means waking up at five... I couldn't go home until after twelve hours of work (had to finish a story) and I just passed out after work. Or, that is, after I my niece and my sister and b-i-law went home.

I indulged my inner nerd yesterday and went to see Serenity, the Joss Whedon movie! It's excellent, but then I'm biased... I've seen the series (hopefully he'll get them going again soon), can't really imagine what it would be like if I hadn't...
Life is very confusing these days. It's peculiar, really. Maybe it's my birthday coming up, that usually fucks me up a bit. Big birthdaygirl me, although I get reaaaally sensitive on my birthday. Hi hi...

A guy I know just got sentensed for rape. This I find extremely disturbing and chilling. Maybe it's because I know women who have been victims of rape but I've never really known the victimizer, you know? There is always a big, black blur of evil you picture, but not really people you know. Then again, people know their rapist in 90% of the cases.

Enough of that, did you pick up on the birthday bit? Me, 28! Thursday!

Drumroll, pleeeease...
I bought m'self a car, a real live car (kindof)! Life size and all! It's green, like my place of work, and grass, although it's more light-teal than grassish. It's a Toyota Yaris, I haven't come up with a name for it yet... any suggestions are welcome.
Otherwise it's work work work... this week I'm on the nightshift, which starts at 2 pm and ends at 11 pm... so I don't do much with my day. Must put the weekend to full use then... hmmm... what can I possibly do? Grrr...

Well hello there, how you doin'? I'm fine... it's the end of the first week of my new job and I am exhausted... kindof... I've been up since five a.m. and I'm surprisingly frisky (frisky?)... after all it is a Friday night. Friday nights are meant for socializing. OK, so what did I learn this week?

First of all, I know squat about journalism. My grasp of the Icelandic language, of which I have always been proud of... well, I don't know how to put this, really. But... I think my English is actually better than my Icelandic. Maybe not, though... it depends on how you look at it. I do not subscribe to the puritanistical view of the language, although I certainly try not to abuse it. Anywho. Stress, big time. I've learned a lot though. Also learned that I read news like a high school drama student. Must practice the news cadence... got some tips today, will practice this weekend... (like they say, have pen, will travel. While this does not apply in any way to what I just said, it still has a nice little ring to it, don't you think?).

Oh, I forgot. For those who don't know what I'm doing still, I got a job at the new TV station, called Nýja Fréttastöðin (the New Newschannel... sounds better in Icelandic). I will be a video-journalist. Up until now I've been doing news for visir.is, a web-site, and Bylgjan, a radio station. Mind you, an extremely minor part of the news-team (as of now). Soon the new tv station will be on and I'll be jumpin' around town with my little digital camera and editing on some foreign editing program.

What else? Oh, I can't tell! That would be... well... telling.
Yes, one thing... :)
Congratulations Vala, Kjartan and Ásgeir for the spankin' new member of the family!!! Vala gave birth to a baby boy yesterday, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing him!
Cheers, darlin'!

Dúrírúú... weekend is over (again) and tomorrow I'm going to visit my new place of work... have loads of questions to ask my prospective employers, that I should of course have asked during the job interview... better late than never!
Had fun during the weekend, saw loads of people and hung out in various joints... aaaalso I went to the gym with Ásthildur and Gunna... I know, I know... you're thinking: how long will THAT last, but... hey... better to exercise for a month or two every three years than never at all, right? Anyway... hmmm... am adding links to my blog: Gunna, Ásthildur, Diana, and Inga Lilý.
Well, I'm off to do fabulous and amazing things (i.e. admiring my new boots)...
catch you later ;-)

I got a job! A J-O-B, baby! Now who would hire me, you might ask? Television might! Mighty television, one of my very best friends. I'll tell you more about it when things get more settled... hopefully beautifully (settled, that is). Kiss kiss, darling, you know I love you!

What, no-one buying into me being psychic? Ouf. Oh, well... aaaaalmost finished with painting the doors downstairs... one more coat maybe... gonna try to get into the pilates thingy... ouf, who am I kidding, I'm too lazy to blogg. Catch ya later.
