Happy thought of the hour: By this time tomorrow I will be enjoying a cold glass of champagne on the terrace at Mejlgade 35. Yee haw!

Vitiði hvað ég elska?

Að keyra Reykjanesbrautina með allt í botni og syngja með. Þar sem ég er nú fædd og uppalin í Keflavík hef ég í ófá skipti keyrt þennan veg. Í kvöld var það yndislegt. Klukkan var 22.30, sólin rétt að setjast og allt svo fallegt. Ég held barasta að ég sé að verða ástfangin af Íslandi á ný. Svo ástfangin að ég hreinlega blibba á íslensku.

Of time travels and final monsters

I went time traveling last weekend. Back to the 90's. The class of '79 had a reunion. We are of course all extremely religious people so we gathered to celebrate the 15th anniversary of our confirmation into the Christian church. Hymns, bible studies and good times... Actually it was pure debauchery: Great people, great food, great music and a great deal of alcohol. It's a far cry from the life I've led since I returned to Iceland. It has involved sitting on my ass and writing, taking long walks after dinner with my mom and her sister, watching every episode of Men In Trees I could find and almost purely enjoying the company of people over 50. All good things but enough is enough, you know? So tonight I'm heading to the smallest capitol in Europe and intend to dance my socks off to celebrate the fact that today I DELIVERED MY FINAL REPORT AT THE KAOSPILOTS. Hell to the yeah!

I posted pics from the reunion on flickr.

Mama, I'm coming home!

I'm at JFK. My plane to Iceland leaves in two hours. I said goodbye to Austin and my lovely new friends this morning. Bittersweet.

Same old number in Iceland: 863 3499. Give me a holla.

As I write this I am wearing a huge disco sombrero, a mustache, osh kosh overalls, a western shirt and cowboy boots. This has become to be known as Kamilla's Texas outfit... at least for tonight. The occasion: my good bye party. Tierney, Cory and Nate were kind enough to throw me a party on my last Saturday night in the land of plenty-o. Thanks guys!

It was awesome! The reasons for the awesomeness:
-My lovely Austin friends.
-A Lonestar keg!
-Chips and queso (what I live on here in Austin. My ass, in return, has grown considerably bigger:/)
-A teenage riot!
-A fire.
-A homemade Texas flag.

Now I'm at my house. Happy and sad that I'm leaving. Iceland, get ready for the Texlander to return home!

Love and peace,
Kamilly'all

The Land Of Plenty

I'm leaving the the land of plenty in 17 days. Going back to my little island where the financial market is shitting itself but the days are getting longer. I love Austin but I feel like I've been living in a bubble. A bubble so thick that I completely forgot that I have to have my tax returns ready tomorrow!

I find myself leaving places all the time. Leaving good friends that I don't know when I'll see again. But they know where to find me. Hringbraut 43, 107 Reykjavík to be exact. At least from July.

Oh well, you might gather from this post that I'm in a sinister mood. Blah. Blah. Blah.
