Cam's Corner of the World

[Poll #1001117]


What? I'm curious.

I had plenty to do this weekend, including finishing a fic (stupid last scene giving me headaches), and what I ended up doing was shopping some summer clothes, playing some WoW, lazying a lot in the sun and watching a bit of Dead Like Me. Also brother has come to visit for the summer. Today I am going out to eat and drink with work. Wednesday I have off to do stuff with bro. Hmm. Not seeing much spare time there. But my, it's been warm and summery and it's hard to have energy to do anything much at all. There is something quite weird with the world when Oslo is the second hottest city in Europe.

'I'm reporting this comm I made to LJ because everyone decided I was a bad mod!' (Bonus: Icons of hot football players.)

That's quite impressive. I mean, modding isn't the most popular thing you can do, but getting that much into mutual loathing with members? You have to be really dedicated to manage that.

... I think.

Wherein a misspelling of The Beatles gets a judge quite creative in his sentencing.

Later when you thought about what you did, you may have said I'll Cry Instead. Now you're saying Let It Be instead of I'm a Loser. As a result of your Hard Day's Night, you're looking at a Ticket to Ride that Long and Widing Road to Deer Lodge. Hopefully you can say both now and When I'm 64 that I Should Have Known Better.

Bwhahaha.

Here's somewhere you don't want to be when the power fails - hanging upside down in a roller coaster.

Teacher admits to abuse - apparently to dozens of cases. Sigh.

How was the weekend of you all?

Lesson learned at work today - it's very hard to wank off a ram.

I learned this because someone called and wanted to know if where I work could test a particular hormone that was apparently used in semen-withdrawl from sheep. I proceeded to listen to a lot more details about this - and how it was done with cows, who are apparently easier and clearly more sexually liberated - than I'm sure I actually wanted to ever know.

YAY EDUCATION?

Then I got to transport heroin samples for drug-sniffing dogs to train with.

My job is cracked. I loves it.

This story made me laugh way too much

"But it was difficult finding somewhere to put my CS spray. There was nowhere for the handcuffs, but then Batman does not need handcuffs."
PC Eames said: "The bad thing about the operation is that we had to endure hours of terrible puns from PC Holman."

WIN.

Nine, Rose and Jack as My Little Ponies.

There's dumb - and there's Caps Lock dumb.

So, been watching way too much Grey's Anatomy the last few days, after I got season two on DVD from falena84. I got the first season soundtrack too, but I've decided I need to get myself Grey's Anatomy season two soundtrack as well. Was one song on the show I really got taken with - so I went to look it up and turned out it was "Grace Master" by Kate Havnevik. And damned if she isn't Norwegian and has been singing with Røyksopp, one of my favourite bands. I so don't pay attention. Lose for me.

I need to get myself that song, yes.

Conclusions formed while watching season two of Grey's Anatomy:

( Shag away, elevator bunnies & other thoughts - spoilers for season two, obviously )

In short, me likes. In a crack-filled, eyecandy-crowded way. Yes.

Meanwhile, in CSI fandom...

( PS: they both like it better when Sara is on top! )

( WTF creationists? In Norway? )

When I got home and read the brochure, I was sad to discover it wasn't the 'the Earth is 6000 years old !!!!!eleventy-one!' kind. Woe. They even had a special section on how they weren't trying to get ID or creationism into Norwegian schools. Probably because they'd get laughed out of the country for the mere suggestion. They did proclaim Darwin evil, though. Snort.

I want to see the hardcore lot and take lots of pictures of them and their museums. WTF creationists, dude.

But it did put me in a very bemused mood for the rest of the day.

(I note here for the record that those who choose to believe God is behind evolution and whatever else - I don't share that belief, but I can at least see where it's coming from. Harcore creationists leave me with a sort of weird fascination and much merriment because wtf, truly.)

I sense a sneak *eyes flist*

But since wank was brought up...

Wanky CSI shippers - what shock

Oh, C/W lot - why do you make me sad? I'm starting to think fandom really will implode. Everyone's so strained, and already flailing and spoilers for the finale make me wonder and I've strengthened the wank shelter. If this blows, it will be baaaaad. And kinda funny.

If sex on the whole is not bad, why all of the suffering? Why is there no rampant disease sweeping us off in other physical activities? Do you really think it's an issue of ignorance about safety? You go against God's design, it will turn out death.

Funny how many heathens are still alive then, huh? Also, please be reading up about medicine and understanding it, mmkay?

Cherry Chernobyl and Potato Surprise and other things ice cream might be named

I laughed far too much at all that. Also, need ice cream.

Ze interview meme:
01- Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
02- I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not so creepy/personal.
03- You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
04- You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
05- When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions

As asked by sparklechick268:

( What I would wear as the Doctor and other weird stuff )

And another meme that was rather interesting:
How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something and you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you should know? How many times have you felt 'guilty' asking a close LJ friend a question that should be 'obvious'?

Well, here's your chance.

If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask me anything. Even something extremely basic. I'm not allowed to get even slightly irritated at any of the questions -- we've all missed things before.

Date a Scot!

And you can vote and be in the draw to win a trip to Scotland and meet one of the kilted fellows. Alas, no Tennant. Wah.

misscam's LiveJournal popularity rating is 5.76/10. misscam is more popular than 99.948% of all LiveJournal users. misscam is more popular than 98.7% of their mutual friends. How popular are you? LJ Popularity created by thehumangame.

Hum. So, are there going to be wank over who's more popular than who, I wonder...

First, a heartily thank you to everyone who answered my last post with icons. I adore you all immensly, you much-too-giving people. I've taken quite a few of them. Whee! And now that my cunning plan to get lotus79 hooked on Doctor Who as well, I'm a happy camper. (Seems to have dragged a few more into it, too. Muhahaha.)

So I met ligaras from YTDAW earlier today.

It's kinda odd meeting someone from the Net, since you know them, but you don't really. And I tend to keep my online life and real life apart, so doubly odd having someone talk to you about your fics to your face. But she's delightful and we talked for quite a while. Bashed Bush more than a bit, I fear. Always a popular pasttime with Norwegians. (And ye Gods, the American embassy in Norway has turned into Fortress America. They got more security there than we have to get into Parliament or our government buildings, for crying out loud. Feels so out of place in Norway.)

And she gave me season five of CSI, which I will peek at over the next week or so. Remains to see if that is enough to drag me away from the shininess of Doctor Who. (Wanna bet?)

Platform for new Norwegian 'Red-Green' government emerges - good news for you, maureenlycaon. They're not gonna allow wolf hunts. Our wolves will be safe for four years at least. We'll also wrap up our committment in Afghanistan and Iraq and instead uses our forces more on UN missions. There will be oil drilling in the Barents sea, but certain areas will not be touched and it won't be rushed into. A gender-neutral marriage law will be suggested (replacing the current 'civil marriages' for gays if it passes). Possibly adoption rights too. Foreign policy will be slightly less bow-to-the-US. No application to join the EU will be put forth these four years. There will be a 'clean-up' grant for natural gas refineries. We'll probably get our first female Finance Minister. Actually, we might for the first time get a majority of women as ministers, but I'll get back to you on that one.

This is how Norway will be run the next four years. Don't expect too many great changes. We'll be much the same as we've always been.

Steady as we go, eh?

And fittingly...

And in today's entertainment - Worst Romance novel covers of 2004

To quote:
So the cover tells me this is about a ménage a trois in a spaceship designed by aliens with Earth auto fetishes, in which the lightning propelled buttocks of one man thrust him with such vigor into the woman she kicks a hole in the ceiling, causing an air leak into space that they must figure out how to stop before they die. Let's hope that other guy is MacGyver. Did I get it right?

Am home. Have headache. Have been a good writing girl, though. Finished writing ch. 24 of East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Yay me. And ch. 18 and 19 are up, here & here on ff.net, and here at CSI Forensics. Reviews and feedback make Cam a happy, happy gal.

ETA: I think my beta for this story needs some time to deal with various life things. Would someone like to take over beta duties for it?

So does this No Cows icon (made by elvea_aure). Hehehehe. And indeed, the No Cows spoke and the people listened. Dutch vote no for constitution
Possible reasons for no result

And dad, true to form, texted me with "Long live the Netherlands". I'm gonna send him the No Cows. He'll love them.

Oh, and Ramsey made me Yoblinger of the month for her site. (The interview will be up there later.) I'm flattered. Must seduce more people over to the pairing now.



Meanwhile, some teases of future East of the Sun, West of the Moon chapters. Bit spoilerish.

( Tease me, Cam! )
