Half way through The Girl Who Played with Fire. Getting intense!

Salted horse meat for dinner today.
RT @rondubois: We walk the streets with our heads down staring into 3-inch screens while the world whisks by doing the same.
Saw Avatar yesterday. Quite good and looks amazing.
Lo siento, eso tendría que ser escrito en español…
Me voy a mis abuelos por la fiesta de navidad final. Después voy al centro para bebir y bailar.

It’s been more almost a year since I last paid any thought to sound change and historical lingustics. Good to freshen up on it.
…from a third language.
False cognate - A word that looks like it could be a cognate, like random - random in English/Icelandic, but is just a common borrowing…
Cognate - Words in two different related languages which can be traced to the same source for both languages.
In certain dialects of Norwegian I (spelt jeg) is pronounced “ah”, just like in Southern American English. They are cognates and by chance..
…both evolved to reach the same “shape”.
Watched Bröderna Lejonshjärta or The Brothers Lionheart today. Wonderful, although a bit scary, godless Swedish fantasy by Astrid Lindgren.
My first entirely godless Christmas. Not too shabby, if I say so myself.
My GPA just went down 0.1

No #snow in Iceland.
Desperate Housewives 6.10
Not to mention access to streaming tv shows during slow times.

#wrongtime2tweet when you feel like you have nothing else to do because that usually means you do.
Why doesn’t #twitter show the characters left anymore? And why does it just delete messages that have too many?
Að djamma doesn’t mean the same thing as to jam in English. For us, it just means to go out, get pissed and have a good time.
Fucking cold when it’s windy in Iceland.
About to go out to—as we call it—”djamma”, a verb that entered Icelandic vernacular after Bob Marley’s song Jammin’ became popular.
No snow, just freezing cold wind alletime.
Brittany Murphy, Rest in Peace, dear.
