(no subject)

Mmmmmm, rain on roof noises... and for the second day in a row. Yes, I know, not exactly a novelty for NZ but here...
Would be good to fall asleep to. Pity at work and have to work. Gotten heavier in the last minute too.

Last nights Film Club movie was Lord of War which was very well done and I thoroughly reccommend. Good use of music for a film all about the arms trade and gun trafficking. Not exactly one for inspiring confidence in the joys of humanity - you do come out quite cynical, but definitely worth it. The scary bit is just how plausible it was. Interesting to see how opinions (and here) were divided on it.

Bocksten Bog body

Ok for the medievalist/bog body enthusiasts out there.
An article on the new and improved Bocksten Man exhibition at the Varberg Lansmuseet in Sweden. Unfortunately all in Swedish, but still interesting pictures. Museum site uses frames (or something annoying), so I can't link directly, but if you follow the Bockstemannen link, there is some very cool stuff about the body discovery and a detailed section with lots of images of the clothing (kladerna) - little in the way of closeups on seams etc, but still very good. Printed out some stuff and may need to track down speakers of swedish...
