Soonish if everything goes well (4 months or so I've been told), a year if things don't go so well.

It is now a concrete reinforced hole in the ground.

Thanks, Al. I wasn't going to say it.....

Unfortunately, I haven't read any of those stories, so I can't comment. When do you get your house?

Not predicting the future but couch for all you husbands who don't put their wives as #1 choice.

1. Eva Green
2. Mila Kunis (in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, not that 70's show)
3. Kate Beckinsale
4. Penelope Cruz
5. Rachel McAdams
6. Catherine Zeta Jones
7. Elisabetta Canalis
8. Salma Hayek
9. Mandy Moore (depending on the hairstyle)
10. My wife, I guess...

So to go on a tangent what do you guys think of stories written by Mark S Geston?

Specifcally:

Seige of Wonder

and

Out of the Mouth of Dragons

Like the whole final war in a attempt to end or renew creation. Epic battles are my sci fi bread and butter.

Hate the can't change fate because we are always being manipulated and human nature won't let us "ascend" to anything better. Still think you can fight against your nature and what "fate" put outs for you.

le sigh

I love farmers, and yet, am also sometimes baffled...

* in the representative form of government as provided in our Constitution and in limitations on government power.
* in maintenance of equal opportunity.
* in the right of each individual to freedom of worship and in freedom of speech, press, and peaceful assembly.
* that individuals have a moral responsibility to help preserve freedom for future generations by participating in public affairs and by helping to elect candidates who share their fundamental beliefs and principles.

* that legislation and regulations favorable to all sectors of agriculture should be aggressively developed in cooperation with allied groups possessing common goals.
* property rights are among the human rights essential to the preservation of individual freedom."


So much religion... as a cornerstone of farming...



oh, and as for Cate Blanchett, she's got great cheekbones, but often seems really austere to me. There's no doubt she's a beautiful woman, I just wouldn't put her in a top ten. Liv Tyler, however, yes. And as for Ms. Dunst's teeth, you might be on your own there, Jess! ;)

I can't believe Cate Blanchett didn't make anyone's list! She is definately my favourite. I started to make a list, but then lost interest.

Thumbs up to Kate Winslet and Liv Tyler also. And Kirsten Dunst, whose teeth I find oddly fascinating. Is that weird?

Feel like short-circuiting your brain? Or just trying for an effect like that brought on by a koan? Try this one:

Buffalo x8

Alternate history check
Alien invasion check
Mecha check
Steampunk umm... don't really care but if that does it for you

Happy Bitrthday Beck!
