Winter in October and Spring in January.. who would have thought? I think today it was 8°C, cloudy today and some light rain but the past two days were bright and sunny.
Side Note: My dad did finally receive the lighter in the mail from US custody, though apparently it does not now work (perhaps just needs some fuel). And to defend myself, I did not buy this thing to make my dad's life harder. Considering a lot of people smoke in North America, and would therefore have lighters on them, and more extravagant ones than this little keychain, it did not even dawn on me that it would cause issues in customs. Crazy Americans...
It is kind of funny that no matter how the weather is outside someone is able to complain about it. I bumped into a friend on my way to class and she complained that it was so cold out, even though it really wasn't. Good weather depends on such weird standards. Like to me, today was really nice weather, but that was based on being warm and not too windy, though it was drisly and cloudy. As long as I am not cold and soaking wet, I am happy.
Adrian, Tisho and I have been watching Twin Peaks episodes for the past few days. We have watched all of the 1st season (7 episodes). It is suprisingly addictive. For people who don't know it (which was me a few days ago, never heard of it before), it is a show directed by David Lynch (who I got confused with Ryan Lynch, *gasp!*) and Mark Frost from 1990. It is a murder mystery soap opera. There are so many subplots though, it is really complex but really neat. I found it so funny that no one in this town is able to have a good relationship and everyone is having an affair. We are watching the next episode tonight.
I also learned how to knit yesterday. I have attempted knitting before and everyone on my floor last semester was knitting. I don't know why I delayed knitting for so long, but I really like it. I am currently knitting a scarf, and I think it is coming along alright. I think all of iceland (well at least the women) can knit. They have classes on it in school I guess so they can keep up the tradition of their knitted woolen sweaters and other garments. Well I hope I can live up to being one of those cool grandmothers that knit their kids and grandkids sweaters, scarves, mitts and touques. I was thinking the other day that it would be cool to knit some pants. I really need some, mine are falling apart, but I don't know how good knitted pants would be because they would be holey and the wind would go right through them. Also probably would be itchy.
Well more later... gotta to go read.
