Day of the humping lizzards

Ok, ok, I have no idea where this title came from, maybe my sub-conscious mind has a fettish for lizzard porn, I don´t know... Although I have heard that it is a growing industry in Vietnam.
Anyways... These last couple of days have bee quite cool, on monday we lost the electricity 2 times so I had no internet most of the day, and my work is alot about sending e-mails, writing proposals with stuff I get from the internet, so it was not my most productive date but that was not what bothered me about the lack of electricity. The absolute horror of no electricity here is that the divine air condition simply refuses to run without electricity, even when I asked it really nicely... and not when after 30-40 minutes I started throwing things at it, in hope it would react with a blow of cold air. The office became this sauna chamber and even though I know how incredibly sexy my sweaty body is, then I would prefer avoiding this experience for a while...
So we left an hour early from the office and went to the cinema and watched Omen 666... Behind me sat a guy that was always kicking my seat, and finally after around 40 minutes of my godly patience I turned around to ask him to stop, but he was so focused on the screen that he didn´t see the bold white man turn around and staring at him, so I hit his legs which he had put on my seat, he was so shocked that I though he would start to cry, but for the rest of the movie he didn´t bother me.
I´m not going to talk about the movie since it would be waste of words, only that it has many scenes that make you jump in your seat, I liked that, and only that.
Yesterday was fine, my standard office day, episode of Lost, then I started translating page 2 og Harry Potter, I did in front of the TV to watch the football, and it took me 3 hours... that´s quite a while, but it felt so good afterwards, then I watched all the games, the last game finishes at 4 am (damn time differences)... so this morning wasn´t the freshest of all mornings, but due to my awsomely fresh personality I managed to drag my self to the office and with a big smile I bluffed everybody, I even had some comments on how happy and alive I looked. With my frosen colgate smile I laughed, but inside of me i snorred.
So tonight Germany is playing at 2am to 4 am so I have to wake again... but hey it´s football, and how could the World Cup proceed if I wouldn´t watch, the players would miss me to much...
So from the modest Icelander,
Cheers and beers,

Yes! the omen sucked. Nice to hear that your icelandic way of living (staying up oh so late) translates quite easily to your Indonesian way of living.
and you know...
....sometimes I wish I was a lizzard....
