The Door Opens - Update: The Door Closes

Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 6:33:13 pm PST

The armor-plated door that guards the LGF registration vault has swung open. If you can make it through the maze of disclaimers and conditions and supply a valid email address, now’s your chance.

A cadre of highly brainwashed monitor lizards awaits. New hatchlings are scrutinized.

TANSTAAFL.

UPDATE at 7/24/08 6:56:18 pm:

Now closed with 72 hatchlings.

And I have turn the corner the other way. Most of my reading in the past has been scientific, history etc. But the last year I've gotten hooked on some of these "screenplays in the form of a novel," quick 500 page reads. (my description)

I really enjoyed the Simon L. Green "Nightside" series.

Were are you getting "cool" air?

Normally in Ottawa at this time of the year we've highs in the 90s loaded with humidity you can carve with a knife but due to Gore-bull warming, we've had one of the coolest summers on the books. I'm really disappointed because I love lots of heat/humidty (who else would visit Texas at the end of July but a finally defrosted Canucksicle?) and this summer is a write-off. Because I've been really burned-out at work I'll take the cooler weather blessing anyway.
