not dead, just resting my eyes a bit

WTF? January is soon drawing to a close and my how the time passes. To bring everybody up to speed:

Stil in school, taking 2 courses now instead of 5, gives me a bit more time on the side to get fit.

Setting my sights on a trip to New York in May, been a long time since I was there last and I want to take Heiða there, stay in a good hotel, chilling in Central Park and walking up and down Manhattan.

As the snow melts, the bike will get it's workout as I attempt to break the speed record from my home to the office. The record stands at 11 minutes 45 seconds. Barring unfortunate encounters with buses and policecars, I will crack the record come spring.


I am currently watching the highly enjoyable season 5 adventures of the modern day incarnation of Job. I swear, the man does not get a break. Ever. Godspeed mr. Bauer, hope you get to experience at least one dull day :)

PS: ever wonder why they call it Iceland?

My balcony, a few days ago:

 

PPS: Here's the weight I've lost so far in January, measured in 500g bricks of margarine.

Hehe, don't worry, there's still plenty of me left. And sadly I seem to be visiting LJ less and less frequently these days, will try to make amends :)

Can't wait to see you in March and if you come to America in May, then too! (Eric and I have already agreed we will drive out to see you in NYC).

Entirely off-topic, but for a linguistic study/paper, I was wondering if you were willing to answer some questions as an actual 1/300,000 of native Icelandic speakers in existence... tough finding 300,000/6,500,000,000 despite globalism these days...

Anyway: Do you find reading Old English comprehensible (not counting any possible previous studies in Old English/Icelandic)? Is it easy? Hard?

As opposed to Old English, how many words in modern English do you notice are similar/identical to their cognates in Icelandic?

Takk!
