Ask Away and Various News

[misscam]

Gacked from spunkiegal

You get to ask me 6 questions, no matter how random, rude, revealing, naughty or pointless. I promise to answer them 100% truthfully, and then you should repost this to see what others ask you!

*plots Doctor Who epic for lotus79* Muhahaha.

"Coming, Rose Tyler?"

"Right on your ass," she muttered and followed, taking care to check out his ass as she walked. Yes, it was more than adequate to be at.

In other news:
Norway's 'Structure of the Century' - winners and runner-ups. Make sure you peek at Ishavskatedralen. I used to live two houses away from that one.
Moose collisions hurt the most (While on that topic - dear Germans, kindly stop nicking our moose warning signs. As you can see, they're not put up for tourist bait. Mmkay?)
The new Bond (Gotta love the BBC poll on it.)
Rove testifies before grand jury again
Chorus of disapproval over Supreme Court pick (Just goes to show the proof of the Norwegian proverb - "Det er av dine egne du skal ha det" - "It's from your own you'll have it.")
Sunni party offices attacked day before referendum on Constitution

Silly little me, I thought the Ishavskatedralen would be made of ice.

[velocityofsound.livejournal.com]

...This is just wrong, but I am seriously fangirling that first photo of the highway. My god, that is a thing of beauty. I say guh. Colours might not be much, but the composition oh the composition.

I've lost everyone, haven't I?

"Sports Arena Built Inside A Mountain" made me sporfle and think of Peer Gynt. You know, "In the Hall of the Mountain King" (which Wikipedia says is "I Dovregubbens hall" for you, oooooh shiny). Heh.

Drammen's Theatre is gorgeous. Yeah, I'm also an architecture fangirl. Sigh. And I must say, Norway has some really gorgeous structures. More incentive to visit, I s'pose. >_< Someday.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Um, kinda. But good that you liked it :)

Yeah, I think that association was slightly on purpose. We do know our Peer Gynt, you know :P

Drammen's theatre is just twenty minutes from her. They renovated it pretty nicely two years back or so. Pretty neat.

Someday indeed.

Here in Maine we have moose warning signs as well! Ours are triangular as well, but have the moose icon against a deep yellow background. It always makes me think of some heraldic crest. My roommate is from New York, her first words upon arrival were "Do people REALLY hit moose here?" I sighed and embarked upon the astonishing answer that, yes, lots of people do. Why? Because there are a lot of moose.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Word. We have a lot of moose too, and astoningsly, the concept of pedestrial crossings do not occur to moose. They cross where they want to.

Which sometimes mean in front of your car. I almost hit a moose once. Scared the shit out of me.

1. What is your favourite quote from Doctor Who 2005? (And you may really choose only one.)

2. Why do you want to smack Aristoteles?

3. Is there any work of art which you find so fascinating that you wish you could have created it?

4. Which Norwegian or Scandinavian food is the most disgusting, in your opinion?

5. What is your preferred style of dancing or social dance? (And I'm actually talking about dancing, not 'dancing'. No innuendos whatsoever intended.)

6. If you were invited to the TARDIS for a trip, where and when would you like to go?

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Oh, and random linkage 'cause I totally agree with the ladies over at ioan_daily that Ioan Gruffudd might have been a better choice for James Bond than Daniel Craig, as this pic proves. But then, I could be biased. :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

1. Yes, you see the thing is if I were you... If I was going to execute someone by backing them against the wall between you and me little word of advice: don't stand them against a lift.

2. Cos he was a sexist pig and him and his culture inspired quite a lot of otehrs to be so, too.

3. "Fjellnatt over Rondane."

4. No contest. Lutefisk.

5. Cripes, I cannot dance. So random wriggling of the body?

6. Billions and billions of years ago. I wanna see a Triceratops.

[bloodanna.livejournal.com]

I like Lutefisk....

1. If you could morph into anyone who would it be and why?
2. What's your favorite thing about where you live?

4. You have a choice to live forever, do you?
5. You are leader of the world for a day, what do you do?
6. Favorite snack?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heretic!

1. Mother nature, so I could see about teaching humanity some.
2. There's a forest right by where I can find silence.
3. Made the world just a little more cheerful.
4. No.
5. I allow gay marriage, make laws against discrimination of women, destroy all nuclear weapons, make countries accountable for human rights violations, reform the UN and kick out the security council and then have a cup of tea.
6. Pop-Tarts.

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

1. What was your favorite school subject in your equivalent of elementary school (between ages 5-10 or 11, I'll ask, as I'm unfamiliar with Norway's education system)?

2. Does having a large flist and generally plenty of comments for each post ever make you nervous?

3. If you could come to one U.S. city (or state) for a week within the next year (only to see the city or state for itself, rather than to meet or visit any friends you have there), where would you want to go?

4. What bad habit at the dinner table annoys you the most when people do it? (Like smacking lips, eating before everyone's been served, or whatever's considered bad manners in Norway, etc?)

5. What's your favorite word in Norwegian?

6. What Norwegian musician would you recommend an American who is curious about foreign (and usually, but not necessariliy, traditional) music listen to?

2. No, but makes me feel I miss stuff sometimes.

3. What does kjølhale mean?

4. What's your cat's most endearing habit?

5. There's been lots of fuss in recent years over things that are (apparently) 'un-American' or 'un-Australian'. Does the concept of being 'un-Norwegian' exist?

6. What is the most extraordinarily beautiful piece of music you've ever heard?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

1. Bright, sunny, cold. Typical autumn.
2. A pine.
3. It's the old punishment of dragging someone after a boat.
4. He follows people around, even if he's just going to sleep. If I'm on the computer, he sleeps in my bed. If I'm watching telly, he sleeps in the sofa. You get the picture.
5. Um... In a sense, yes, but rather as "not as Norwegian" rather than 'un-Norwegian'. We usually point to things being typically Norwegian rather than going for the opposite,
6. Morning Mood, Edvard Grieg.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, I am so politics-oblivious. And Australian.

Rove testifies before grand jury again

I immediately thought: 'why on Earth is Rove McManus needing to talk to a grand jury?

(don't mind me, I haven't drunk enough coffee yet this morning ;)

[chunkylimes.livejournal.com]

1. Do I actually really annoy you?
2. Where did you get this "awesome" thing and where can I buy some?
3. Are you really a ZOMG sekrit CIA agent?
4. What would be a fitting punishment for Bush?
5. What do you think of German?

I confess I have associations with Neo-Nazis. This is because I told one of them to go die in a fire.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

1. No.
2. Um, genes?
3. Yeah, right. If I was a CIA agent, you could bet I was really spying for Norway.
