I am setting my iPod to emo, and none of you can stop me!

We can still point, and mock and laugh though, right?

Caught a little bit of a raptor Nature the other night - they rigged up a wee camera on the back of a redtail, and then on a peregrine falcon. So cool.

I saw that one! Or at least part of it. Every.single.time the bird dove, I caught my breath. It's amazing.

The birdcam in general was just awesome.

Seriously cool. I wish I could fly.

Caught a wee bit of the David Attenborough Eagle special afterwards, which was also really neat. How the HELL does his team get all that crazy closeup footage?

Most of it is shot in-studio. t /buzzkill

People keep trying to start up light rail here but it's really hard to come up with a practical plan. The city is so spread out that every plan combines high cost with small coverage.

And since World's Most Expensive Food Things are always on-topic -- the world's most expensive pancake!

CHEF Alex Lovell has created a pancake for Shrove Tuesday for those with expensive taste.

It costs a pan-sizzling £95.

Alex, aged 21, who turned down a job with Gordon Ramsay to join the Earlsdon Cottage, in Warwick Street, used some of the bar's costliest ingredients to come up with his gourmet recipe.

He said: "I just wanted to make something really special for Pancake Day.

"I don't know whether we will sell any - it does cost about a tenner a mouthful - but a few of our customers shared one and thought it was wonderful.

"The jelly accompanying the pancake contains Dom Perignon Champagne, which costs £110 a bottle, the fruit, black cherries, strawberries and raspberries, are flambéed in Louis XIV cognac which costs £100 a shot, the batter contains Madagascar vanilla pods, which cost a fiver a pod. And it's all accompanied by amaretto ice cream."

[Between the champagne, the cognac, and the amaretto, it sounds to me like an excuse to get smashed at breakfast, doesn't it?]

Seriously cool. I wish I could fly.

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction too!

What I want to know is why I've seen the damned fall of Pompeii eight kajillion times, yet missed the Eagle thing.

I remember watching a Nova ep on the red-tailed hawks returning to Central Park. They had shots of the birds flying silhouetted in the blue sky, and my cat was fascinated, sitting in front of the TV with her paws lifted to pin down the flying birds on the screen.

Well, my kind of emo is a little less "woe, I am sensitive and glum and have unfortunate hair" and a little more "boys in eyeliner being somewhat angsty and also kind of vindictive, and also being somewhat overly affectionate with their bandmates."
