Links List: Lexicon ruling, green polar bears, Rose secret, swordman on the loose & more

[misscam]

falena84 did a massive pic!spam of her Norway adventure with me here. Many pictures of me looking half-daft, but oh well. Ignore me, watch the scenery. (BTW Elisa, there was a a bad fire in Bergen just after we left. Bummer.)

In the Wank That Ate Fandom and Made It To the Media, a ruling has happened in the Harry Potter Lexicon case. Anyone really shocked by what it is? Because I'm not. (And there's also the strangely parallel Torchwood wank. Huh. Must be the season.)

In a slightly WTF: Green polar bears. After swimming in algae, apparently. Urk. Say, all that algae the BSG lot eats and handles, will that have scary green effects eventually?

In a slightly '...oi': A cooking shows causes further problems for Thai PM. A lot seems to have happened in Thailand while I was distracted by holiday. Must look into.

In secret that caught my eye on fandomsecrets: Mocking Rose ends a friendship. Er. Doctor Who fandom gets really serious about the companion love and hate, doesn't it? I have friends who like her and friends who hate her and it does get rather intense at times. The companion that divides fandom into love or hate? Some characters do do that in fandoms and it's always interesting to figure out why.

In a 'say what now?': Three young women out walking in Oslo’s Furuset district Monday evening were threatened by a man waving a sword. Several questions arises here. 1) What the hell? 2) How very Viking? 3) How much alcohol had either he or they been drinking? and 4) What the hell?

Plans for today (another glorious day off): Make lotus79 stop reading bad Kara/Lee, ponder what next writing project should be of mine (taking suggestions and nags - not sure I'm feeling inspired at the moment), eat, play some WoW and send a blue moose to Italy. I love lazy days.

Oh, and now that I will be home a bit - Cammy_Sandy at hotmail dot com is my MSN if you ever felt like chatting-

Oh, mannnn . . . I am so jealous of falena84. Maybe one day I can visit you. And all that green and alll that water . . . I wonder what you'd think of dry, sere, brown Southern California, with only ONE, count it, one natural lake in the region.

Hey, I used to live in Australia, remember? Dry, I've certainly seen plenty of. ;)

But I never really thought about how much water Norway has until people point it out - just so used to living with it I consider it normal, I guess. You forget how precious a resource water really is in a country like this.
