Sindy in New York

Polar bears and cameras

I have spent way too much time today swaddled in winter clothing at my desk today trying to ignore my sighing neighbour in her cubicle (speaking of which, has anyone heard the spoof of You're Beautiful, called My Cubicle - it makes me laugh! http://www.stereogum.com/My%20Cubicle.mp3 ). She sighs about every 30 seconds or so, as if she has been sent the worst news in the world - I am too scared to ask, but can almost set my watch by her ...
I spent some time "watching" the Australia-Croatia game (ie pressing refresh on yahoo's site every three seconds and shutting my eyes and pretending I was there), and took too many conference calls which I wasn't listening to!
I also took delivery of items for my sister (no problem), and am expecting more on behalf of my dear friend in Australia (no problem) - I now have a purpose in life - NY mailbox. So if anyone has anything they want sent to me on their behalf, I am happy to provide rates! ;)
Then, I started scoping around on tripadvisor.com (the best internet site in the world), for accommodation in Reykjavic. Sindy and her sister will be spending a couple of nights there after our arctic cruise later this year (yippee). I spent some time perusing the roomwithaview website (as recommended by tripadvisor), and found that the romantic rooms have "Private bathroom with a private two person Jacuzzi with foam bath possibilities" !!!!!!! I like to keep my options open, but that sounds, well, I do not want to ask - perhaps the Hotel Bjork may be safer ....

And remember what happened to Sindy's brother and his girlfriend when staying at a hotel with private jacuzzi? Run romantic bath with bubbles? Check. Open champagne? Check. Hop in? Check. Turn on jets? Check.

Six inch brown tubular object shoots out of jet into girlfriend's back. After much screaming,yelling and scrambling out of jacuzzi, discover that it is a huge plug of grease and hair from assorted guests over the years, finally freed from blocking one of the jets.


But I'm still not going to Hotel Bjork - I'm not up to the no doubt bizarre dress code and the 24 hour piped warbling.
