was Amundsen a man or a woman? for years i was sure it was a woman. i thought thats what they said in the song Heroes of the Antarctic (Heroes de la Antartida) by Mecano, a spanish band. but recently i thought i heard mention of Amundsen somewhere, and they said "man". so i checked online, and sure enough - a man. but the song wasnt about him. it was about the team that failed. the english, led by Scott, got to the south pole about 21 days after the norwegians. and they all died on their way back.
you can find the grueling story here.

i hardly write anything in my blog these days. and when i do, its boring, stupid, mundane stuff. my thinking doesnt seem to ever go beyond my immediate, every day reality. this sucks.
but i guess at least i'm sorta past my "another week without pot!" stage.
