(Not a Creative Title)

Hello hello! Guess what? I am insanely happy right now. Why, you ask? Well, I just received my acceptance phone call from Nordic. Yes, that's right! Beginning next year I will be writing for Nordic News, Inglemoor's school paper! This blog might have played a role in getting me in, but mostly I should thank my wonderfully supportive and helpful brother, Artur, who has been on the staff for two years. 57 applicants, 15 accepted. The celebration commences with blasting Ágætis Byrjun (because celebrating with Sigur Rós is the only way to celebrate).

And to add to the excitement, yesterday my mum and I went to Seattle to see Suzanne Vega preform at the Moore Theatre. I'm not a big listener of Vega (I grew up listening to her, but never really had an obsession), but I enjoyed the show regardless. We even got to meet her afterward and get an album signed! So cool! I took some photos which I'll post here within a day (so please visit again if that's what you're looking for!). Here's one for now:

And random sidenote: The Fall of Troy just posted a goodbye on their website stating that they are breaking up and will not continue to make music together after this tour is over... :( and that it is not very cool at all. In fact, it's kind of sad. They're playing here in March and my friend wanted to go see them, so perhaps we will catch one of their final shows.

So yeah, expect a post tomorrow. It's the weekend... finally!

[currently listening to: Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása - Sigur Rós]
