Did I tell you about my last weekend?

Posted 14th May 2009 at 05:35 AM by WormTheRed
Giraffiti family, iceland, weekend

I guess not, and I've been meaning to so here goes.

First a little background. I live in a rented condo built in the late 40.s, so the quality of construction isn't all that. I can hear my cousin (who lives downstairs) when she plays the piano and I can hear my upstairs neighbours when they're being douchebags. Yes they are! It's two guys who really enjoy partying, especially late at night with loud music. And they don't particularly care if we ask them to turn it down, or even if...

Operation Getaway: Iceland, part deux

Posted 8th May 2009 at 04:15 PM by WormTheRed
Giraffiti iceland, moving, sweden

Yeah, I know it isn't part deux per se, but I've always wanted to write that so ha

My place is getting emptier by the day. I am currently sleeping on a borrowed matress, writing this while sitting on a all to uncomfortable kitchen chair and my books are stacked against the wall. Also, my clothes are scattered around the room since my wardrobe is gone.

But I've got an apartment in Sweden! In Lund, for those of you who know Swedish geography (which probably ain't all...

Operation Getaway: Iceland goes on

Damn, I didn't think people would be calling quite so quickly regarding my stuff. I've therefore been forced to spend most of the morning cleaning, packing, unassembling IKEA-stuff and taking phonecalls.

So once this day is over, I'll probably no longer have a bed nor any bookshelves. And my nice and comfortable "lazyboys" will be gone too

Hence, my place looks like a complete and utter mess.

Operation Getaway: Iceland

It's so on!

I'm sooo close to getting an apartment in Sweden over the summer, so I've initiated protocol "eliminate Icelandic assets".

Step 1 and 2 were taken today.

Step 1 was to sell the car. Check! Actually, it was waay easier than I thought it would be in this godawful market (the lady at the insurance company even congratulated me). I just found an ad for a guy who wanted to buy cheap cars, he looked at it, we haggled and I got a bit more...

We had elections today!

Posted 25th April 2009 at 08:54 AM by WormTheRed
Giraffiti election, iceland

Yes, special elections to sort out who is going to fix the mess the country is in. Or to just get new people to point fingers at.

Anyway.

I went to the voting booth, down at the Reykjavik City Hall. Lots of people and lots of booths and signs and stuff that told me where to go, whom to talk to, where to stand in line and what to do.

So after finally figuring out in which line to stand I got a nifty slip of paper with all the parties (7 today) listed and...
