Foxit, freeware Windows alternative to Acrobat Reader
Adobe reader is horrid… this is far better.
Got Season 2, Episode 12 of JLU. Divided We Fall, Lots of good moments – “Begone”, etc. Worst moment, integrating 3-d cgi models into the show… it’s not needed and is pointlessly distracting. The last episode of the season, unless they have a puff piece one-shot for #13. Vimoh got lucky… no cliffhanger after all. 12 episodes rather than last season’s 13?

A better Breakdown about Bibleman than I have time to write.
Or just watch the preview trailers on this page. Cringe-worthy, when you can say that ElectraWoman and DynaGirl has better dialog, and a kinder message. (and cuter people in spandex.)
Actually, If you must watch one preview, watch the opening Credits for ElectraWoman and DynaGirl. Frank was a lucky man. Tarantulas! Rattlesnakes! Tigers! Sonic Blasts destroying snifters of brandy! Scary Rock-and-roll villains with a green afro! (His name was Glitter Rock.)
ElectraWoman and DynaGirl fighting off evil deeds.
Each works for a magazine, hiding the life she leads.
ElectraWoman and DynaGirl summoned to Electra-base by the electracoms they wear.
Lori and Judy dare to face any criminal anywhere.
ElectraWoman and DynaGirl !
Man, I had a huge crush on Judy. (as long as she stayed away form that Metamorphosis Formula #5.)
I won’t be attending the Bibleman show… but maybe I’ll go check out what sort of crowd it collects.
I’ve been really sleepy these last two weeks. Not sure what’s up with that.. physically tired. Summertime blues? Usually I have a good charge to my batteries… maybe it’s the rain.

Homeless shelter stops serving bear meat
(or, as springheel_jack puts it: Glory Hole Stops Accepting Bears)
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) – A Juneau homeless shelter has stopped serving donated bear meat after learning the state prohibits nonprofit groups from accepting wild game meats such as bear, fox and walrus.
“We didn’t know that it is illegal,” said Jetta Whittaker, executive director of the Glory Hole.
For years, the shelter accepted bear meat to supplement its meals for the homeless. The meat went into many recipes, including burgers, casseroles and spaghetti.
But last year, Whittaker learned that serving it was contrary to rules set by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. This year, it has meant turning down five offers of bear meat.
“That was 250 pounds of ground meat I could use for spaghetti sauce,” said Bob Thompson, operations manager of the shelter. “We are protein-poor.”
The Glory Hole rarely gets offers of deer because venison is more palatable to most people while bear meat has a stronger, wild smell, Whittaker said.
Some of the people served by the Glory Hole said they miss meat of any kind. David Kelley, who is staying at the shelter, said he appreciates the three meals a day but he is tired of eating starchy vegetables.
“I will eat whatever you put in front of me,” Kelley said. “But you cannot live by starches alone.”
The mosquitoes are out, but I haven’t suffered yet.
“Some people say that I’m superficial, but that’s just on the surface.”

A Shanghai online gamer has been given a suspended death sentence for killing a fellow gamer.
Qiu Chengwei stabbed Zhu Caoyuan in the chest when he found out he had sold his virtual sword for 7,200 Yuan (£473).
The sword, which Mr Qiu had lent to Mr Zhu, was won in the popular online game Legend of Mir 3.
Attempts to take the dispute to the police failed because there is currently no law in China to protect virtual property.
Appeal plea
Buying and selling gaming artefacts such as imaginary weapons is a booming business on the web.
The internet games section of Ebay saw more than $9m (£5m) in trades in 2003.
While China has no laws to deal with the theft of virtual property, South Korea has a section of its police force that investigates in-game crime.
Dragon sabre
According to the Chinese press, more and more gamers are seeking justice through the courts over stolen weapons and credits accumulated in games.
In this case, Mr Zhu did offer to hand over the cash but Mr Qiu lost patience and stabbed him with “great force” according to media reports.
The suspended sentence given to Qiu means he could spend the rest of his life behind bars, although it could be reduced to 15 years for good behaviour.
The parents of the dead man are planning to appeal against the sentence.
“My son was only 26 when he died. He was sleeping when Qiu broke into his home. He was barely able to put his pants on before Qiu stabbed him,” said his father, Zhu Huimin.
“We want Qiu to die, and immediately,” he added.
The case has led to a debate about where the law stands on virtual property, such as the dragon sabre owned by Qiu.
Following the case, associate law professor at Beijing’s Renmin University of China said that such weapons should be deemed as private property because players “have to spend time and money for them”.
But a lawyer for one Shanghai-based internet game company told a Chinese newspaper that the weapons were in fact just data created by games providers and therefore not the property of gamers.
Moment of Lyric: (compliments of the kindly 
bhk)
Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never have happened to Smeaton
And old Leodiensian
La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I tried to get in my taxi
A man in a tracksuit attacked me
He said that he saw it before me
Wants to get things a bit gory
Girls run around with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn’t for chip fat, well they’d be frozen
They’re not very sensible
La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
And if there’s anybody left in here
That doesn’t want to be out there
Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible
La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
And if there’s anybody left in here
That doesn’t want to be out there
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
