I was perusing my three blogs i have to hit every day in order to have a functional, pleasant day when i ran across a posting from 1am this morning on Neil Gaiman's blog. (it's nice to know that the inability to sleep seems to be a common trait amongst creative people- there is hope for me yet!)
He posted a blurb from an article about an aluminum smelting plant in Iceland and the troubles they had getting the plant built because they had to have someone come out and certify the land elf-free... that's right.. some one got paid to ensure that no elves homes were destroyed in the building of this facility. I could *SO* do that job too! (Neil says that the job besides writing that he could do) Given my affinity for the pointy eared creatures, i would *love* to do that. Oh my- what would i ever do if i happened to run across one!
Here's the link to his post so you can read his post and the article for yourself. The original article is all about the economic issues in Iceland and is from Vanity Fair. It's quite a long article and is rather depressing, but he has quoted the important part about elves on his blog. :)
