Walking to lunch.
Last couple of days have been quite insane in terms of snow.
Winter wonderland in Iceland.

Hell is Round the Corner - Tricky
As a kid I was so in love with this song. This album alongside Massive Attack’s “Protection” was my gateway drug to a lot of bad triphop over couple of following years. I found my way out of that dark place but you cannot take away the quality from those two albums.
Plus Tricky is mad cool
While I was doing my morning ritual of walking to work I noticed that the morning sun is creeping up. While a week ago I was walking to work during those hours and it was dark as night.
Not a bad day to start a new week to realize that everything is getting brighter all the time. Already started the process of spring cleaning.
Spring, my love. I am waiting for your soft/warm embrace.
Rule 1. (to kill expectation)
Go into the film without having read or watched anything. Trailers are acceptable, as they are sometimes created by film directors themselves, though even that sometimes is questionable.
Rule 2. (to kill projection)
Assess what the film is trying to say or achieve within the realm of what kind of movie it is trying to be. Do not project your own expectations. Let the film dictate the level of expectation, be that tonally, narratively or conceptually.
Then, assess how well you think the film reaches whatever goals it set out to achieve.
Rule 3. (to kill hype)
Don’t talk about the film with anyone who has not seen it, except if you’re encouraging them to go see it. Only discuss the film with those that have seen it, and discuss it hard. That’s what it’s there for.
The Rules, etc.
The reason why I am playing tourist.
I started hosting couchsurfers again and the first one is Max from Frankfurt. His first stop in a 4 month trip around the world started on my couch so I felt obliged to show him around.
Max is traveling the world before returning to the mundane world of finance.
Nice guy all around but sucks at backgammon.
Hallgrímskirkju organ. Pretty badass actually.

Úlfur Úlfur & Emmsjé Gauti - Á meðan ég er ungur
Icelandic rap for ya all. Not the biggest fan but I like the video and the production company that made it. Ghetto Reykjavík.
