misscamI've spent the day cleaning, sorting through old stuff to see if I should keep or throw away and setting up a new set of shelves for DVDs. As a result, I'm now dusty and disgustingly pleased with self. Cleaning always feels good after.
In the process, I found postcards I had to spare from the last time I did a mass mailing. So, I got seven cards. Who wants? First come, first serve. Just comment with CARD and if you're among the seven first, one shall be yours. The cards all long to see the world, after all. All cards have found homes, yay!
The tale of the lurid e-mails go on
Which just goes to show sometimes, the cover-up is a bigger problem than what is being covered up. Though that can be bad enough, of course.
Norway's white moose ("Neste" will bring you to the next picture.)
Yes, we have an albino moose about in Norway. They're extremely rare. Unfortunately, moose hunting season starts soon, which might be the end of our white friend. He doesn't get any special protection for being white, though he was spared last year, so who knows.
First intact example of a Pliosaur found
At Svalbard, as it turns out. Looking awesome, I must say. They're going to dig it out next year. Svalbard's actually become quite a research place. Being so close to the Arctic and having permanent Norwegian settlements, it's become quite popular. (Amusing fact about Svalbard - though it is officially Norwegian territory, under international treaty, it can be used by people of any country. If you can find work there, you can settle at Svalbard. The immigration rules that apply for the rest of Norway do not apply there.)

misscam looks awesome, doesn't it?

Also, I'm reading Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything and it's pretty funky. (Most startling thing I learned so far - Kazakhstan was once attached to Norway!) It is in a sense of history of science too and you get a sense of how accidental groundbreak theories sometimes are and how the more you learn, the more questions you have. I love that about science. It's like an infinite game of Russian dolls. Every new theory just open up to a new one and a new one and a new one... It can also be sort of maddening.
But yeah, good read. I give it a thumb's up. It covers so many fields there's bound to be something you didn't know. (I learned a great deal about geology, while I knew a lot more already about theories on the Universe, for instance.)
Finally,ligaras, I got the TV Guide. Thanks!

no subject
Date: 2006-10-05 02:25 pm (UTC)The plural of moose is moose. And albino moose are very rare. Apparently, Finland's had one spotted as well.
Moose in Norway don't have that many wild predators after them here, really. Wolves, yes, but there are very few wolves and very many moose. Biggest killer of moose is probably cars.

Date: 2006-10-05 02:37 pm (UTC)RE: The Lurid E-mails...here in the states, this is becoming quite a circus. So much so that the politicians seem to forget that the VICTIMS in this case are not members of congress or a political party. The victims are the under-age boys who received these emails. Election year politics are just so much fun...

Date: 2006-10-05 02:44 pm (UTC)Yeah, I've seen. It gets reported here as well. Some of the comments made by right-tilted media was quite vile about the pages, of all things. Sheesh. Classy.

Date: 2006-10-05 02:59 pm (UTC)One commentator (a Republican, no less) said that it's too late: the ship's hit the iceberg and now it's just a matter of seeing who gets sucked down into the sea. Another said that, given everything that's happened, it may only be a matter of time before someone comes forward and says that they had a RL sexual encounter. And if that happens...all bets are off.
This is not a Democrat vs. Republican issue, much as folks like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity would like it to be. ANYONE who does what this Congressman did should be investigated.
no subject
Date: 2006-10-05 03:07 pm (UTC)If there has indeed been any RL sexual encounters, it hits a new level of wrong.
no subject
Date: 2006-10-05 07:16 pm (UTC)And, of course, the four dozen subpeonas drafted by the House Ethics Committee are sure to push this issue well though the midterm elections. This is very bad for Republicans because they're afraid that some of their "core voters" (Evangelicals and "morals/values voters") will stay home out of disgust.
Already, key polls show Democrats ahead in 11 of the 15 races they would need to recapture the House. Even a "safe" Republican seat like the one in my neck of the woods has been reclassified as "toss-up".
