Velkominn! Your Góðan Daginn caught my eye... we've got a few Icelandophiles on TFP, and ktspktsp (my husband) and I currently live in Iceland as well. (Have I got it right that you're an Aussie living in Iceland?) Perhaps we'll even meet you in real life, sometime!! (We had a 4-person TFP meetup in RVK last fall, which was fun.)
And yes, I like to use parentheses liberally as well.
