Lousie - sorry about your computer problems - supremely frustrating...

*THUD* is right. I am like glued to this picture.

If we go with bachelor no. 3 for Ellery, I think I need to point out we have an Australian Ennis and Australian Ellery. What's wrong with the US? We can't grow good looking men?

Well my sources say, Jackman is the son of British parents born and raised in Sydney .... so me (beeing a "naturalized" British Citizien) I'm claiming Jackman AKA Ellery for the British Empire  :laugh:

So...have you visited all the movie locations since it was filmed in YOUR BACKYARD?? Damn, I'm jealous!

BBM was shot in like 6 or 7 different places in Alberta and I haven't been to all of them ...
But it feels good to know that I am not very far away, in case it gets urgent ...  ;D

As we all sit here, waiting for the next chapter, re-reading old chapters, picturing Ennis and Ellery doing whatever (somehow, I don't think we're picturing them eating fishsticks), I thought y'all might be interested in this little tidbit of information I just came across:

A recent reanalysis of Alfred Kinsey's data, titled "The Relation Between Sexual Orientation and Penile Size," found that homosexuals had significantly larger penises than nonhomosexuals, no matter how the measurements were done.

If you want to read the full article, "On the Matter of Size:The inexact science of penis measurement," click here:

Enjoy!

Well boys and girls, I am just about ready to change hotels.  the WLAN died again after my nap, and the Polish speaking receptionist, who goes home at 10 p.m., made a phone call and got no answer and all of their computers are dead too and, oh well.  Who cares, they say, Deutschland won the soccer quarterfinals!  The horns have been blowing like mad!

And yes, I wrote another chapter, and am sitting in an Internet Cafe that is about to close.  Who closes internet cafes at 10 p.m. you ask?  DEUTSCHLAND does.

What you have been waiting for:

Chapter 48 of "A Second Chance"

http://louisev.livejournal.com/63122.html  "A Couple"

I will do my best to correct the hotel problem, but if they can't assure me they are going to get the thing going tomorrow I will try to move hotels.  Might be difficult since the Italian soccer team (who apparently also won) are supposed to be coming to Baden Baden this weekend.

Oh well, at least I have the "till 10 p.m. internet cafe" a walk away from here.

Folks I am really really sorry about my internet being down... I will try to do my best to make it up to you!!!  I have also not been feeling well, possibly because of the intense heat here.

I did get a nice nap in earlier and hope I can get a little more writing done.  If the Internet comes back on at the hotel I will come back in, so keep checking back.

You may be interested to know that I am withdrawing substantially from my involvement with other fan forums due to um, "irreconcilable differences" and I will be spending a lot more time here, and that means choosing a time for a chat forum and putting up links and etc.

If you folks could think of what would be a good time for you (that is if you WANT to have a chat with author session regularly) , I am thinking a time on the weekend might work out best for everyone and not interfere with anybody's work or sleep (least of all mine.)
