Steve came to Iceland to chop vegetables. Really, I just wanted to provide a Christmas dinner that was as much like the family gathering in Chattanooga as possible so my brother chopped things, swept and move furniture. We had twenty-one people for dinner, which was quite the feat in my tiny apartment. Actually the bigger […]
Steve and I spent today wandering around town. We did some prep work for the party tomorrow, but most of the daylight hours were spent in downtown Reykjavik. We stopped at the Parliament building. And then went to the lake behind it. That’s town hall behind Steve. Strangely, he only asked for his picture in
I didn’t have to come to work today until 4:45. Steve and I joined a group of the cast at Culture House for brunch. Afterwards we went shopping for groceries (ooooh) and came to work. We were going to go the Blue Lagoon, but there wasn’t quite enough time to fit that in. I’ve sent
His flight was delayed, but he has arrived safe and sound. We’re having quite a bit of snow tonight; there was none this morning and now everything is covered. I’m on will-notify tomorrow, which means that I might have most of the day off.
My brother, Steve, gets in at 10:40 tonight. I’m starting to wonder if I’ll be able to pick him up at the airport. I should have told him to bring a good book, because we’ll be hanging out at the studio a lot tomorrow. Still haven’t worked yet today. I have, however, written another chapter

We weren’t called in until eleven o’clock today. It’s now 6:30 and we’ve done nothing. I think Þor did some work with Ziggy earlier, but the rest of us are twiddling our thumbs. On the plus side this gave me time to drop my laundry off at the cleaners. I normally do my own laundry
Sarah had to run to a doctor’s appointment last night and asked if I could do Trixie while she was gone. Of course I said yes. The kids were all just supposed to run through the screen, so it should have been very easy. Naturally, that changed. Trixie was the first character into frame, and
I am a sad, sad camper. He’ll be back in Portland at two a.m., which means ten o’clock tomorrow morning for Reykjavik time. I might be sad, but he’ll be exhausted and sad. We did get to go out for lunch today, and spent about three hours outside the building, which was great. We went
We were here till 11:00 last night. Did you know that in Iceland the vegetarian pizza at Dominoes has corn on it? More wacky hijinks to come, I’m sure. Rob and I are going to try to get out of here so we can spend some time together before his flight today. Sadness.
Rob came in to work with me today and is spending most of the day in the Hudson room while I work on the music video for this episode. It’s a song for Stingy called “I am the Prince” and it’s a rip on a Britney Spears song. Very funny. So that means that I
At 10:00 p.m. I crossed the finish line on my goal of 50,000 words in a month. I think I still have three or four chapters left to write, but the major bulk of my novel writing effort is past. Now I’ll have a lovely road of rewrites ahead of me.

Rob and I slept in, then went into town to have lunch at Vegamot. Afterwards we did a little window shopping, came home and headed for the Blue Lagoon. We did not have massages there, but we did purchase massage oil.

Þor took these pictures of last night. Here we all are, as the bounty of food has been laid upon the table. And as a sample of how quickly my friends in Iceland have come to understand Rob, here is a perfect photo of him
