Voting in Norway, polling in LJ

[misscam]

Today, Norway votes.

I've already been to cast my votes. But that voter apathy they're mentioning - yeah, kinda feeling that a bit. Norwegian politics aren't as divided as in other countries and really, I can live with most of the parties in power. The difference between them doesn't feel like an abyss. Also, Norway is doing rather okay either way, which leaves me with a bit of a "oh well, blah" attitude to it all.

I don't even loathe the Progress Party as much any more. Possibly I'm sick.

Brother has been stopping by on his way elsewhere for a few days, so haven't been too much online. Missed anything important?

Also, I discovered UK Coupling. Just a taaaad late - but now owner of boxset. Muhahaha.

Finally, a poll on LJ stuff. Because democracy is good. Ya. And yes, I will make the next post whatever gets the most votes.

[Poll #1052922]

"Is this going to be really tasteless?"

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Am I going to be ashamed to be your friend?

[falena]

In general, in Cam's LJ you'd like more...

Anything that means we get to see your brains in action. So, I guess news and current affairs would qualify, but I really love it when you launch in some pseudo-sociological analysis of fandom. Wacky but spot-on examples like the cat lady would be a bonus.

Brother got me to give Heroes a try and I might say that so far I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I'm liking it.

OT - I stuck it out and watched the whole first series of The Office UK just because you told me good things about it but, unfortunately, it seems that its humour is completely lost on me. How sad.

[falena]

might must. Tsk, these pesky English modals... ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Awwww. I rather love it, but then, I've worked in many offices and recognise some stuff. Maybe that's a factor, I don't know.

These days I'm more likely to launch into an analysis of Sastus Symbols in World of Warcraft: Why a Netherdrake is your Porche.

Hmm, I said bitching about Bush because with APEC just here, it would be in our current spirit of Bush bitterness. Heh.

To get hooked on? Have you ever watched Dexter? I recommend that. Very tightly-plotted, CSI on crack kind of stuff. I would have said Prison Break but I suspect that's going the way of House/Grey's Anatomy this year and I'm not amused :(

[falena]

Ooh, you're right, I kind of momentarily forgot about Dexter.

[kasuchi]

WHY ARE YOU NOT WATCHING THE US VERSION OF "THE OFFICE"?

Anyway, I personally like your LJ's content as is, so really no need to change. :D

[misscam.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE I LOVE THE UK ONE TOO MUCH.

Heh, kasuchi seal of approval, then? ;)

[nadat.livejournal.com]

Cam needs to get hooked on...

If you're inclined to give anime a shot, I'd recommend Bleach. It's rather addicting and fun.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Never quite gotten into anime, I'm afraid. At all. Is Bleach a very typical one, or is it more the sort of thing non-anime fans might enjoy as well?

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

Watch 30 Rock or Dexter.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

What's 30 Rock? Never heard of it.

[norwegianne.livejournal.com]

It says something about Norwegian politics when I'm more interested in the election in the US than the Norwegian municipal one. But I voted. I did. Voting at the embassy in Copenhagen with a friend a couple of weeks ago, does not have the same schwung, however, as voting in Norway on election day.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, know that feeling. Norwegian politics is just so... Norwegian politics. The American one actually feels like it have bigger consequences for me. And strong possibility of years of headdesk'ing, too.

I remember voting at the Norwegian consul in Brisbane in the Room of Extreme Norwegianness. Very surreal.

Election day in Norway is not quite what it once was, though.

[gentle-blessing.livejournal.com]

That's awesome you've found out Coupling! XD The Sock Gap and The Giggle Loop has now plagued my boyfriend and I

And as for what else to get hooked on...Psych is a good show. James Roday is a smexy bastard.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm slow to every party ;)

Can't say I've heard of that one - English, American, other...?

[jvgymnast.livejournal.com]

Captain Subtext... fantastic show. I found it by accident and actually found Doctor Who through it!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Never heard of that one either. I must suck greatly. So... Inform me?

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

30 Rock is hysterical, much love.

And it seems your fans are calling for more fanfic :)

And I would've voted for more anti-Bush but I am just so sick of him. There are no words.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

They've gotten it :P

So you're more in a "no Bush" mood of late? Know that feeling, oh yeah.

[scarlettgirl.livejournal.com]

I like your posting mix although I wouldn't be averse to more fanfic. (Really, I just felt it would be arrogant to decide what you should post next, especially after my mini tantrum/epiphany on self-censoring.)

MOAR FIC!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

YES MA'AM.

I've always posted what I've wanted in this LJ, but I do like to make posts people would like to read now and then ;)

I'm one of those people that find WoW hysterical, but don't know a thing about it, really. When I hear people talking in WoW-speak, I always think of a youtube video with a screaming insane raid (sp?) leader set to sarcastic stick figure drawings. He makes no real sense to me, but damn is he funny.

I think you should try Dexter. I was hooked after one episode; Michael C. Hall was excellent in Six Feet Under, but he's just amazing in Dexter.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hehehe. Our raid leader doesn't yell much, luckily. ;) Have you seen the Leeroy Jenkins video, BTW= I always laugh like a drain.

I know who the actor is at least, that's a plus :) Sadly, don't know if it airs in Norway. I'll have to find out.

[princess-spygal.livejournal.com]

COUPLING! Hehe. It's the best. I love it. How much have you watched so far?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

All of it, baby! I got the boxset and just went vaguely mad ;)

[myhobbitpippin.livejournal.com]

Oh coupling! I love it so

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh, I've found out it was rather popular in its time, ye. I'm just late, as always.

[evilstorm.livejournal.com]

Watch Psych! Because it is brilliant, awesome, funny crack. Re layout, I am torn between WoW and cats. Have one that's WoW + cats combined. That would rock.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Well, I do have a big cat in WoW...

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

I'll be the lone voice in the wilderness bigging-up Prison Break then :D

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I know others on my flist like it, but I also know they think it's jumping the shark. So hmmm.

[ilingeron.livejournal.com]

*cheers for Coupling*

You might like The Mighty Boosh. It's fun and ridiculous, but the Flight of the Conchords is amazingly awesome, and a little smarter, too.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Another one I've never heard of. I feel so uninformed :(

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Bones is awesome. Hodgins and Angela are the most adorable people on the planet, and therefore you should watch it!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I've read some of the books it's vaguely based on, does that count?

[vowel.livejournal.com]

I've honestly never seen Heroes. But a lot of people reallyreallyreally like it, so maybe you would. ^^;; And I don't really mind reading whatever you want to write about.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

My brother really likes it as well, and he and I tend to share taste, so we shall see. And it's started airing in Norway at last :)

[wintergreen126.livejournal.com]

um,i think i'm supposed to say something about i'd like to see more of...oh! i know! animals. i don't care if it's cats, dogs, or mules. i just have this sudden desire to see animals.

and you need to get on watching battlestar galactica. seriously. because- well, ok, my brain is fried. just trust me.

have a good one, cam :o)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You can see my cat in this icon. Does that count?

I did try a bit of BSG, but it didn't quite connect with me. Dunno why, I normally enjoy sci-fi heaps. Maybe it's beacuse I didn't get a chance to watch it in order, who knows.

[wendymr.livejournal.com]

I really enjoy your analysis of and poking at news and current affairs. Have missed your posts of this nature :) I used to rec friends to come and read some of those posts.

As for watching TV stuff, might I recommend Life on Mars? I'd be astounded if you hadn't heard of it, but I haven't heard of you watching it...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh, I did watch that one, both series. I didn't fall as madly in love with it as some, though I did like it. Maybe that's why I never made any LJ post specifically about it.
