2,000 hamsters can't be wrong.

16 June 2004

In the Norwegian News 

Forgotten 91-year-old dies - this happened in a town in my old county. They struck her off their list even though she's been dependent on four daily care visits since 2001. Someone should definitely lose their job and be prosecuted for negligence over this. Preferably someone who's actually in charge, and not just a scapegoat.

Charges against Mullah Krekar dropped - now with a very unflattering picture. Since dropping the charges means it may become easier to deport him back to Iraq, I'm all for it. Of course, he's going to sue the State for keeping him in custody and for "wrongful accusations". Wrongful my arse. And today he was convicted of terrorism in Jordan. Of course, Jordan is known for using torture against prisoners and "witnesses", so...

And apparently Oslo isn't as expensive as it used to be - it's "just" no. 15 on the list, as opposed to no. 13 last year. This is not good enough; let's make it even more expensive to live here. FYI, Tokyo came on top, followed by London and Moscow. Great.

In more personal news, I finally got the Listen up! CD today from Dress Circle, featuring music by Jason Carr, sung by such fabulous singers as Maria Friedman, Liza Pulman, Michael Ball and Philip Quast.

AND I'm going to see the third Harry Potter film in a few hours' time. Woo-hoo!

Current track: Philip Quast - Totally Different Species (from "Learned Ladies")
