Pending Exam
Posted Apr 14, 2003
I feel like screaming my head off now, just in case.
I don´t know just in case of what, but hey, it can´t hurt...
My first exam is looming. May 8th. And due to work and general fear of exams and a slight phobia for other people when in 'school mode' I´ve not really studied enough. Or at all, which is worse.
And since I don´t really have sufficient books, I´m a bit lost. I´ve all of the primary works, and almost none of the secondary ones, this isn´t good.
Not knowing whether I´ve passed until August is a novel experience for me as well. I don´t know how you Brits cope with this, but I´m used to getting my results in under a month, usually under a week!
So if you do run into me, beware. Unless you meet me in the UK in June, in which case it should be safe as the deed will be done...

No more Formula One!
Posted Feb 20, 2003
With full respect to the fans of this interesting and expensive sport, and kudos to the author, who spent long hours at the computer writing it, I am never, ever going to sub anything to do with Formula One again. I don´t mean to sound ungrateful or anything, but I am SO relieved I´m done!
Still working like crazy, obviously. (You might ask why it is obvious - it is because I´ve never been this late with this many things ever before in my life!)

I am still in the building!
Posted Jan 15, 2003
I wonder if I come across here on hootoo as being out og the building?
I don´t participate in many talks, my threads are somewhat inactive or I´m a lurker there anyway and I never know what´s going on until long after the hullabaloo has died down.
Just about the only people I am in touch with are the writers whose work I´m subbing at any one time, and sometimes they probably wish I wasn´t...
The thing is though, I am here. I am in the building. I guess I´m just a lurker at heart...
cheers

half- baked kitchen
Posted Nov 28, 2002
Personal projects galore these days: The kitchen is now half-done, with most of the tricky bits left over, but not too many of those...
Now I just owe dinner invititations to a whole horde 
Registration is off to Uni, am now just waiting for people there to respond and my credit card to wince 
with all the juice sucked out of it.
TheDancingTree 
and I have told all (important) friends and family members about our engagement and shown off rings => all happy 
Went to a seminar last week. It was a real eye-opener in many ways. The subject matter was interesting, but what made me think for days afterwards, was how it made me feel. Finally, a course/seminar/thing that doesn´t make me panic, group work that I like etc. It made me start re-evaluating my whole self-image, ego being what you think other people think of you. I felt all 
for awhile there...

weekends away
Posted Oct 28, 2002
spent last weekend away with the Dancing Tree. We drove outside the city to a little summerhouse in Borgarfjörður, where we promptly flaked out for the entire weekend. We had absolutely lovely weather, much nicer than the forecast had been, and we went for walks, read, played cards, BBQ'ed, and then flaked some more. All in all fantastic. Although Tree kept calling me Rugludallur (weirdo in icelandic). I never should have taught him to speak. In icelandic at least. I´m not really responsible for the other languages he speaks.
I wonder why more people don´t do this? The area where we were was mostly empty, so all the more peace to us...
