I just read The Fortean Bureau: There Once was a Girl from Nantucket (A Fortean Love Story) by Ken Scholes and John A. Pitts It’s wonderful. Read it.
All three hours of it. We went to the hot river with a group from work. It’s about an hour drive from Reykjavik and then an hour hike up into the mountains, but so worth it when you get there. Rob had to work late, so we got there about two hours after everyone else.
Today is the longest day of the year. The sun will rise at 2:57 and set at 12:02. Even though it dips below the horizon, it doesn’t go far enough for ReykjavÃk to get truly dark. I don’t know what we will do, but I hope we will go someplace to watch the sun flirt

The lesson for humans: Clean living may make us sick. The studies give more weight to a 17-year-old theory that

YouTube – Robbie Rotten spot (Season 2) (correct spot posted now) Ooo! Someone posted the Nick Jr. Lazytown spots on youtube, and I’m actually in one. In the middle of this one Robbie’s periscope pops up and that’s me. I mean, it’s only a pair of eyes on a stick, but it’s still fun. They
I’m lucky that my brother is visiting our parents in Chattanooga and has offered to celebrate in my stead. Rob’s dad is out of luck though. Sorry, Glenn! Once again, we are ungrateful wretches. I hope that the weather is beautiful where you are, and that you get to do everything you want to do

I completely forgot to tell you about the real score at Koloportið. Rob and I collect portable typewriters and I’ve been keeping my eye out for one with an Icelandic keyboard. This little beauty is a Groma Kolibra. It’s an East German machine from the 1950s and is in beautiful shape. It comes with a
Today Rob and I went down to the koloport to pick up our usual staples of flatköka and eggs. Usually, we just get hen eggs, but this time I saw some beautiful blue and brown speckled eggs. Two weeks ago I had picked up some brown speckled eggs from the lesser black-backed gull. These beauties
My story Cerbo en Vitra ujo is in this issue of Apex Digest. It just went on sale. I do feel I should warn some of you that it is horror and fairly icky. But, if you enjoy horror, then please pick up a copy.
