'You know how in college years would go by and you wouldn't notice anything?"

I swear my roommate just said that while on the phone with a friend of his.

Örn öffenð þe Icelandic

Örn Arnarson, the boy who outswam a shark, and won America's heart by insulting it with crude obscenities at every turn, has learned from his brief stint here at due torre.

He now has his own site, Islensk Menning, where he jabbers on in Icelandic about pressing topics of the day, which near as I can tell, seem to be the dismal state of Redskins football, tackling small children in Halloween costumes, and the tendency of the Pentagon to "embættismönnunum" the State Department when it isn't looking. Good stuff.

If you think a good time is "Vodka, Nick Cave, and reading the Old Testament or Hayek," his is the blog for you.
