So I wake up just to go, “what the $h*t??”as I raise the blinds and see a massive snowy stormy crap out the window. I understand that I am currently consuming space on the land of ice so really snowy weather would not be an oddity but it looked mean and unpleasant so I lowered the blinds and moved on with my day.
Stupid snow.
Anywho, we had breakfast on the 8th floor of the hotel. Later we went and relaxed in the hot spring tub and the steam room. It was great.
Then we decided to go on with our day so we leave the hotel and BAM, let there be sunshine. I swear to you, there wasn’t a lick of snow on the ground. Whatsupwiddat?? Yup. All gone. The sun was glorious. It truly has been a rarity to see sun shining for more than 2 minutes at a time…or shall I say since I have been here. Today surprised me. Weather was great. Husband was great. And lots of walking around Reykjavik’s downtown streets, looking at super expensive things in the shops, stopping over to have some lunch and then going to a cafe for a crepe and coffee was great.
Speaking of super expensive things, holy wowzers are they expensive! For example, we walked into a t-shirt store…you know the ones that have funny images and/quotes on them… You know what I’m talking about, right? Just nod your head, smile and keep going…:)…they were $35 for 1 when you can get the exact same crap for 2 for $20 back in the C-land. I get why they are expensive but seriously?
I had a great time at the Eve Online Simphonia which was held at the Harpa. It was Eve music done live in a concert/orchestral form. It was a good experience.
We then joined some fellow Eve players at The Celtic Cross. What an awesome bunch! At least the ones I met. Lets see if I can remember everyone…well, there was a guy that kissed my husband…Xander Phoena I believe his character name was. Then we met the ever so energetic James. He had really soft skin and was absolutely hilarious. What a nice combo to have…great skin and a great sense of humour!!
We also met Steve and Matt and Sindell and the quiet guy in the kilt. He seemed like a nice fella. I found out today that good wool kilts can be up to $1200. Nope, thats not a typo. Marcel was dangerously hilarious and super fun to hang out with.
I’m sure I met lots more people but unfortunately can’t remember everyone’s name…yet.
It is refreshing to meet a bunch of funny strangers. It is seriously odd that everyone I met was so comical…and I mean that with love. I laughed so hard tonight, my face was hurting.
Everybody talks to everybody. It’s a bond amongst Eve players that I haven’t seen anywhere…mind you…I haven’t seen much 🙂 The booze probably helps expedite the social-ness of this whole thing…
Day 3: SUCCESS
Side note: High heels are a bitch.
