Ég er hérna eins og svampur að drekka í mig fréttaflutning gærdagsins um mótmælin við Alþingi í gær og ég verð að segja að ég á ekki orð yfir hrottaskap sumra lögreglumanna, að nota kylfur og rífa skíðagleraugu af fólki til að spreyja táragasi í augu þeirra, hvað þá að halda ólögráða krökkum klukkustundum saman án þess að hafa samband við forráðamenn. Ég geri mér grein fyrir að ekki allir mótmælendur viðhöfðu friðsamleg mótmæli en lögreglan verður að skilja milli þeirra og hinna sem hafa sig ekki í frammi. Að ekki sé minnst á þessa paþetísku ríkisstjórn sem hefur gjörsamlega misst allt jarðsamband!
Ég vildi óska að ég væri heima í dag til að taka þátt í degi 2. Lifi byltingin!!

sunnudagur, janúar 18, 2009
Today has been an exercise in persistence/stubbornness, as far as I am concerned. I needed to set up the wireless on my laptop (connect it to the new wireless router at home) and so far, this seemingly simple task has taken me ~4 hours. The only result is that the wireless network adapter driver has somehow been uninstalled and I cannot install either a new or the old one. Fabulous results, eh?
So, now I've taken up residence in my personal IKEA heaven and am watching Pride and Prejudice on DVR. The Keira Knightly version. I am absolutely not proud of this performance of mine, btw, I intended to spend the day in the lab. Ehem...
Ok, the ad break is over!

Ja hérna hér
Djíses. Who'd have believed Christmas and the accompanying lethargy is over and we're safely in the New Year?!?!
It is truly amazing how coccon-ish Iceland is in the dead of winter. Especially with overcast sky and a population bedridden due to over-consumption of smoked lamb meat, pickled herring and umpteen different sorts of cookies and sweets. Today we have drizzling rain and fog, which isn't that different from what it's been like for about a week now.
And during that past week I seemed to have misplaced my ability to DO anything other than read Icelandic crime novels, eat loads of licorice and knit. And visit with friends and family (which is why one goes to Iceland in the first place), go out on the raz and have a hot dog "with everything", hunt for sold-out Icelandic novels and marvel at the sheer size of Reykjavik (the city of ~150 thousand souls that has a traffic infrastructure of a city of a million inhabitants and spreads over an area where a couple million more people could be easily accommodated. I think one would be hard pressed to call Icelanders normal). I did make a feeble attempt to get work done but fell asleep in front of the computer almost immediately.
Ok, the IM is waiting.
