Great tits a-coping, fandom notes and life in May

I'm sorry BBC, but when you headline a story with "Great tits cope well with warming", I wasn't actually expecting a story about birds. I realise this is because I have a pervy mind and you possibly don't, but come on! There's no need to encourage me. (Also, I don't think the reason it's the 4th most read on the BBC website at the moment is because it's about birds, if you get me.)

In various fandom notes:
- I am so glad I'm not doing the episode reaction post for The Doctor's Daughter, or Wankbait As We Know It (as I like to call it). Granted, I might have to do one for the last few episodes of the season, but I'll wah about that in good time. If there's not at least one blow-up before the season's done, I'll be surprised.
- Spotted at dune_drd: Doctor Who done in the style of Battlestar Galactica's opening. It works strangely well! And fuels further my Doctor Who/BSG crossover idea, yes.
- BSG spoilers of previous mention have gone buhbye. Proof they were real or proof they were bogus? Either way, I want new episodes. Lots. Now. I have zilch patience and I like to know how it ends. I even peek at the end page of books quite often before I'm even midway. Why am I addicted to shows that do mean things and are still running? Woe.
- falena84 sent me package with BSG artwork! I made a remark about wanting an icon with Roslin/Adama and "in bed with the military" for various me-reasons, and she'd drawn me that. Aww. I have the best friends. Also, there was Berlusconi book, but luckily not with fanart of him attached.
- CSI shippers seem to be sad. Nick/Sara lot are having talks with Nick/Greg shippers about the horrors of Nick getting a girlfriend and how to protest to TPTB. Catherine/Warrick fans are just depressed. GSR shippers are a bit upset someone called the kiss disgusting. Shipping - breaks your heart like a breaking thing, y/n?
- I had another one of my 'have stories ideas at night, get up to scribble down before I forget' thing last night. Only now I wonder what the hell my scribbles mean. 'Waiting for dawn on the last night before the first year there' - whut?

In life:

- I has teh dumb and have agreed to run for the firm's relay team in the Holmenkollen Relay. It's a sort of big thing in Norway. My part is over 1 kilometre. Sigh. Many of those not running are coming to cheer us, though, and we're going out to get pissedeat afterwards, so that should be fun. I actually like most people I work with. Huzzah. And we even got t-shirts and hoddies with company logo on to run in. How very almost professional-ish.
- Monday is public holiday in Norway. Whee.
- The weather is currently so nice it's dreamy. When Norway does May, it does May good.
- So, Norway's Christian party is not-okay with homosexuality, but transsexuals they want to support? Ooohkay.

What do you got on?

Eurosong warm-up!

As the total crack tradition that is Eurosong is a week and a half away, I feel it's time to warm up. In case you're sadly uninformed, this is what Eurosong is all about.

Finest crack Europe has to offer, people. Finest!

Which brings us to the particpants for Eurovision Song Contest 2008.

Now for some selected countries:

- OMG SPAIN WHAT CRACK ARE YOU ON
- WTF PIRATES?
- And representing Ireland is... A puppet!
- The boyband.
- Russian prettyboy from their second place in 2006 is back.
- The entry Cam wants to hit with apples for being annoying.
- WTF Mission Impossible Eurosong?
- Iceland sings into a duster.
- Georgia brings you A Very Important Message.
- Estonia has dancing with flags.
- Bulgaria just wants you to dance.
- I have no idea what Bosnia is trying to tell me.
- Norway's fairly inoffensive entry.

Opinions, horrified screams, some you actually like?

And just to remind you all how bad it can get - Last year's UK entry. Click it. I dare you.
