"Israel says diplomats' decision not to call for a halt to its Lebanon offensive at a Middle East summit has given it the green light to continue."

I think I rolled my eyes so far back in my head I could see my brain doing some rolling as well.

Israel, in the immortal words of fandom-wank, bitch, please. The best you can say is that the world has given you a yellow light because they can't agree on whether to use a traffic light, a traffic warden or a Zidane headbutt. Also, they'd like to give Hezbollah a speeding ticket so very badly, so they're a bit distracted by that too.

Blah.

Meanwhile, freak weather hits Norway. That thunderstorm kept me awake half the night - very loud and very thundery. Didn't rain, of course, so still hot like whoa. Something sure ain't right when we got higher or the same tempratures in northern and middle Europe as places near the Sahara.

Sweden is invited to look over Norway's environment plans. Now that is a neat idea, if you ask me. Your neighbour does have a certain interest in you not spewing pollution all over it, after all. Though the idea of Norway becoming less oil dependent at the same time as we're the world's third largest oil exporter does seem a bit ironic.

I've realised I like work a lot more when I'm actually at it than the rest of the time. Probably because I resent the idea of getting up a lot more before I do. Once you're awake, you're awake. You tend not to feel just how early you got up until evening again.

Hum, this thing is turning into 'Cam's light notes on working 8-4'. In my defence, I haven't done it in yonks. Work from home sure spoils you, in a way. Also makes you more of a hermit, I suppose. Of course, I am Norwegian, and we do have certain hermit tendencies. Least densely populated country of Europe and all.

There's a whole slew of you with birthdays today, so happy birthday! I'm usually terrible at remembering them, I'm afraid. Yep, I suck. But here's a all-compassing 'yay you for getting older' greeting.

How the days do pass - but they could pass more quickly so I could go back to freelance working and staying up late...

Finally, I'm bored, so a meme for those with fondness for lists: Ask me for my top 5 list of anything, and I'll tell you.

Top five Doctor Who moments, please.

From: [identity profile] misscam.livejournal.com
1. Dalek and the Cybermen have a bit of a bitch fight - Doomsday
2. The Doctor meets the Dalek - Dalek
3. "I'm the Doctor, by the way..." - Rose
4. "Did you miss me?" - The Christmas Invasion
5. The Doctor entering the junkyard and getting out his TARDIS key in the very first episode. It's just such an iconic moment.

I can't tell whether this "I got punched in the head" feeling I have is because I woke up at 6am or because I read Israel's headline comment right after...

*reads article*

He added that Israel had given the civilians of southern Lebanon ample time to quit the area and therefore anyone still remaining there can be considered Hezbollah supporters.

Seeing how now I feel like the rest of me's been punched, I'd say it was the headline... holy crap!

3. Den nordlige krone.
4. Hvalen.

And yeah, Israel just chaaaarms me with remarks like that. Ample time, right.

What I wouldn't give to be able to deliver this to the assembled political big-wigs of Israel. I'll settle for metaquoting and hoping that their daughters read Livejournal.

I'm sorry I have to disagree with you. I resent work all the time. When I am there and when I am not. Freelance sure would be nice, then I wouldn't have to deal with actual people, at least not on a daily basis. I wish I had some skill which would allow me to do this. I feel how early I get up all day long, it seems. I fear that I have become a hermit, due to my lack of friends and notgoingout tendencies.

Top 5 books, roughly that you have ever read.

Doesn't sound too fun - the people where I work at the moment are okay (the boss gives us all ice cream!), but I've worked places where I sometimes feel like taking either a shotgun to them or me. Not hating your work does help on some many levels.

Freelance work can be very blah too, though.

1. A Little Lovesong.
2. Lord of the Rings.
3. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
4. Good Omens.
5. Stalingrad.

Heck, that could be my top five request ...

Date: 2006-07-27 03:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] misscam.livejournal.com
Sognefjorden, Bergen, Jotunheimen, the Nordland coast by boat, Oslo ;)

Oslo can be a bit blah compared to the rest of the country, but good place to start. Then you can take the train over the mountain to Bergen. Very senic ;) From there, it's not far to some of our finest fjords and some nice mountain ranges.

Depends a bit what you're after, I guess.
