mayhap: Viking ship with text read the ocean by the cupful (read the ocean by the cupful)
Viking night was a grand succès. Well, probably more of a petit succès, as it was attended on this inaugural occasion by myself, [livejournal.com profile] handynavi, my mother, my little brother, and his friend who happened to be over.

We built a bonfire in the backyard. We poured out the mead, although my brother decided that it was gross and my mother didn't finish hers either and I ended up accidentally knocking over her goblet in the dark. Danny's friend, on the other hand, seemed quite pleased to have a glass pressed upon him.

My audience elected to hear the Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue, a young Icelandic poet who spoilers for a 700-year-old work which promptly spoils itself with a prophetic dream in the first section ).

I think my audience enjoyed it more than they expected. They reacted in all the right places. The Icelandic sagas are hardly boring. The mead didn't hurt, either.
