Jodi, Julie and Sarah are all in for ADR this weekend. Rob and I invited them for dinner, partly because we like them and partly to consume some of the haddock. Sarah was the one who caught them, and Julie is the one who dropped them off at our house. Poor Jodi was an innocent bystander.

Everyone was very complimentary of the meal, but the only dish that I would repeat is the salad. The other dishes were fine, but not as interesting as I had hoped.

The conversation on the other hand was delightful. I miss bantering. Its been weeks since I’ve had an extended conversation with a native English speaker besides Rob. I hadn’t realized how much I missed being able to participate in an evening of witty repartee. On the other hand…the thing I laughed hardest at was while Julie was trying to teach us circular breathing for digeradoo. It involves making farting noises with your mouth while inhaling. Definitely not a sample of brilliant dialogue.

Everyday, I try to at least read a couple of headlines in the newspaper. Living in Iceland, chances are I’ll see someone I know in the paper. This morning I could actually read the article! Granted, there was referring to dictionary, but still.

The short of it is that Stefán Karl is doing voice over in Ben Stiller’s new movie, Night at the Museum. He is apparently the voice of a viking raider and speaking Icelandic in the film. Who knows, by the time the movie is out, I might actually be able to understand what he’s saying.
