Tell me about Icelandic sagas.
(and I will answer you later when I'm off work)

The ones I read (Njal's Saga and Volsunga Saga) were for my Medieval Epic and Romance class. They were pretty awesome too - Iceland has this incredible tradition of legends that I had no idea existed. Volsunga Saga is sort of the same story as The Nibelungenlied, which is about Sigfried (the one Wagner wrote The Ring about, I think), with sort of the same events and sort of the same characters. It's got lots of gods and women who kill their own husbands and then burn in the pyre flames. Incest. Dragon slaying. Very cool. Njal's Saga is this very long chronicle of an Icelandic family and all of the things that happen to it, circling around revenge and its necessary problems. That one I enjoyed less, but it was still written with a very wry, dry humor, and awesome battle scenes.

Cool! The only Icelandic sagas I've read are felisblanco's Whedonverse porn! :)

That one's still on there, eh?
I had been doing a lot of scrapbooking of my photos, but I actually haven't done a page in about 3 years or so. I've mostly switched to digital now. I journal here and my photos are at Dreamflyte.com.
I've got a whole mess of photos that really should be organized some day...

I've always kind of been interested in the idea. Sounds like it's easier to do it digitally, though!
