Jermain Moody tried adding me on Facebook; just because I "know" you from Wordscraper does NOT mean that I'll add you! Nathan says next Wednesday works for him in terms of the birthday / farewell dinner. He wants to invite White Eric, Christon, and Danielle as familiar faces... we'll see what happens.


I have two new icons!



(makes me think of Mandy - a_phoenixdragon - haha!)

Trivia fact for Tuesday, Sept. 7: What have scientists determined was inaccurate about the physical appearance of the terrifying velociraptors in the 1993 sci-fi chiller Jurassic Park? They should have had feathers. In 2007, paleontologists reported that they found quill knobs - where feathers had been anchored - on a velociraptor fossil forearm unearthed in Mongolia in 1998.
