When moss goes bad..

There are strange things done by the midnight sun, yes, but can they match ANYTHING the Internet has seen?

While doing some (ahem..) "research" on graffiti on Google for my B.A. thesis, I came across a very exciting new use for beer, sugar and moss. Beer, sugar, moss and a blender, that is.

The midnight sun ain't seen nuthin'

(A kinder, gentler kind of graffiti.. or what happens when moss leaves home to make it in the big, bad city - a sordid tale of depravity and the dangers of drink???)

The time has come, the walrus said..

Yes, I'm back from Kulusuk.

No, I didn't get eaten by a polar bear.

In actual fact, I've been back for quite some time, and the actual reason for the utter dearth of blog entries here since then is my innate laziness -

I mean, my diligence and dedication to my studies..

Yeeees, I was eaten by an essay. Luckily, the state was only temporary and I've been meaning ever since to put up some of the pictures from my trip, but this is unlikely to happen until the weekend at the earliest. So instead, I will provide an exciting update of pond life in the last month.

1. Duck learns to dance: do ducks and tango go well together??? Ground-breaking first-hand research by Little Blue Duck continues.

2. Duck goes to Hveragerði: 8/13 of the Kulusuk Leonard Cohen Fan Club (its existence is a long story..) took the trip up to the "happy house" (curiously named considering its total lack of heating) last weekend, a luxurious emergency shelter cabin up in the mountains/hills just outside of the town of Hveragerði. Marshmallows, a campfire and Leonard Cohen. Good times.

but perhaps MOST EXCITINGLY..


3. Duck meets burglar??? Yes, Blue Duck woke up quite suddenly Friday morning with, of all things, the sudden entrance of a BURGLAR into her room, who it seems wasn't expecting to find anyone at home at 9:30 in the morning as he left quite suddenly the way he had come, after a rather awkward split-second pause. Anti-climactically, Blue Duck didn't have her glasses on, so she assumed it was just one of her housemates until later that evening when her landlady noticed the curtains were half pulled down in her living room. The police came and investigated, but nothing seemed to have been stolen, and so life went on.
