One of my faculty brought this video about plagiarism from the University of Bergen to my attention and it made my day! It's in Norwegian but it's got subtitles. ;D
In family news, my mom is doing fine after her stroke, other than being frustrated because she's no longer allowed to drive. But that did spur her to go to an occupational therapist and a vision therapist to get some exercises which, even if they don't get her to the point where she can drive again, are definitely worthwhile. My brother is slowly recovering from his gallbladder removal. Have any of you had that surgery? How long did it take before food started tasting normal to you again?
TV-wise I've been watching The Closer, Rizzoli & Isles, Warehouse 13, Covert Affairs, Top Chef, Project Runway, Eureka and Haven. R&I is the weakest of the bunch, I think. Everything else has been fun. I was amused by the results of the Top Chef finale. It was so weird, Angelo and Ed seemed to have swapped personalities over the past few eps. I started out hating Angelo and liking Ed, and ended up being at least a bit empathetic to Angelo, while Ed got really annoying. So the final outcome suited me well.
The fall TV schedule has very little on it that interests me, other than returning old favorites. There are only 3 new shows I am even vaguely interested in-- The Event, No Ordinary Family, and Body of Proof. Ah well, that should make it easier to watch everything I want to watch this fall!
Saw the BBC Sherlock series and loved it. Have managed to get my hands on Shattered, CKR's new show, and the first two eps have been quite good, though it's kind of weird to see Ty Olsson and Karen LeBlanc working together and NOT in Defying Gravity (which I still miss!). I guess we Eureka fen now know why they replaced Sheriff Andy (with another fave, Kavan Smith aka Lorne from SG:A).
Oh, and I cannot WAIT for Game of Thrones to start.

Re: Gallbladder surgery TMI
I think with my brother, it's also partly because the gall-bladder attack also gave him severe pancreatitis, and he's still having issues related to that.

Glad your mom is doing so well after her stroke! That's wonderful news.
I had my gall bladder out several years ago and I don't remember it affecting the taste of my food at all. It was painful to bend and I couldn't sleep on my side for a couple of weeks, but it was fine as far as eating went.

Yes, it's great about my mom. I just wish my brother was doing as well. I'm glad you didn't have the food-taste issues he does. Apparently it's a common problem after gall-bladder surgery, so you were lucky!
With my brother, I think it is exacerbated by the fact that the gall-bladder attack also gave him severe pancreatitis, and he's still having issues related to that.
