Favourite place to go bananas:
Freddi has Donkey Kong, and now that I'm an adult I can finally play as
much as I want. Skemmtigarðurinn at Smáralind mall is also surprisingly
fun.
Favourite place to lurk:
One of the window booths at Prikið, when no one’s there. It's nice to
sit there and spy on the people passing by. On good days I observe—on
bad days I judge.
Favourite pool:
My all-time favourite pool is Laugardalslaug. It's the best place in
Reykjavík to pretend you’re hanging out in the Soviet Union. There's
also a saltwater hot tub, a dark tubular slide and 50 metre pool, which
means there are fewer laps to count than in other pools.
Favourite band of the moment:
Old: Prins Póló and Plúseinn forever. New: W $ N and Milkywhale.
Favourite things to eat:
Lie: The fancy lobster at Lækjarbrekka. Truth: A tortilla roll with eggs
from the supermarket and an entire bag of chocolate covered liquorice.
