Happy Days
I'm back at my place, and with new computer (now I just have to get all my stuff from the laptop over to here - sigh) and my lovely broadband. I even got myself a new webcam that I'm going to install and I've been amusing myself by playing LotR: The Third Age. Now there's a game that would make Tolkien wonder if someone rewrote the book while he was dead. Still, somewhat amusing.
The good news is that the list of missing Norwegian have gone down and we're looking at far less dead than we suspected. This is good, though it hardly diminished the tragedy of it all. We're looking at around a hundred dead, which is still a huge blow to our little land, but not as much as we feared. And compared to Sweden, we were lucky.
Sweden mourns their dead
In more disgusting news, check out the image in this Norwegian newsstory. Apparently, some American Baptist Church is hoping Sweden loses 20,000 as they are "a dirty, disobidient generation" and have "satanic laws". Charming. This is apparently Fred Phelps's church. I see how he got his lovely reputation all right. You'll be happy to know, Fred, that Sweden is missing thousands, though not as many as you would have wanted.
I wish I could smack him with a whale. Then I would get nasty.
ETA: I found their website. Um, yeah...
ETA 2: What Phelps said
Oh ye Gods. I didn't think it was possible for me to be this angry.

*headdesk*
Fortunately, Phelps seems to be such an extreme nutter that he isn't even representative of the American Christian right anymore. But you should smack him with a whale nevertheless. With a big one.

Big whale smack, aye!
