My second night off in a row, it's like I hafta pinch myself.
I just selected Arial for my font, only what I got was not Arial; so I've switched to Verdana, and this font is not Verdana. Ah-HUHH? Maybe the fontfile here should pinch itself.
We spent a lot of time over the last three weeks doing art for our phlogs and can finally take a breather on that. Our biggest one is at Webshots, I think we have like close to 500 drawings there now. Their software is a little quirky but with a little tweaking it settles in and does its job. I'd like to be able upload whole folders of pictures - there's one which has like 100+ drawings in it - but as it is they hafta be uploaded one-at-a-time, and when you reach number sixteen or thereabouts, you must load, because each picture is a separate link back to your picture files, and even with tons of memory like we have, ever-y-th-ing-s-l-o-owss---downnnnnn. So fer half an hour ya sit preparin fifteen pics then hit upload. Still, the end result is worth it. You can see us there at:

...it turned blue, so the software here recognizes a hyperlink. Cool. You can go look and come back.
We're excited because we got Joan of Arc on line in her own blog and she'll be posting the texts to the Testimony that I've been channeling for a little over a year now. As it is today there is a half-page introduction that she wrote specifically for the blog, there will be additions from time to time. Check that at:

I am aware of at least four other people who have had some form of visionary contact with the saint of cellphones (what the hell was the pope thinking of?!), each is anywhere from somewhat to strikingly different from our experience of her. We at Outlands maintain that this "heterodoxy," if you will, is essential to the transmission of whatever it is that she is saying. (By the way, I would need the permission of these other four people to say who they are and how they may be contacted; if I get enough traffic on this specific subject, I shall ask, but not until then) The bottom line is, Joan of Arc is active in the world right now. If, counting Outlands, there are five people channeling or experiencing her in somevisionary manner, it must be fairly widespread...I should Google her name in its various forms. (her parents and neighbors called her Jehannette when she was little)(Other variations are: Jeanne D'Arcy, Jehanne d'Arc, Jehanne the Maiden, Iehanne d'Domremy d'Arc)
If you are not familiar with her story beyond the movies, you should definitely learn about her. When she was thirteen she saw a light and heard a voice calling to her from across the fields of her father's farm. It was the archangel Michael, although she often refers to him as Elixe. She approached the uncrowned king of France (le Dauphin) and told him that God had sent her to him to ask for soldiers to take the French holy city of Rheims from the English, that he might be crowned king of France. God gave the Dauphin a sign, he gave her the soldiers, she drove the English from Rheims as predicted and Charles was duly crowned.
That all is an oversimplification, especially in light of what followed, but it is well worth checking out in its own right. Joan said that her father had heard a prophecy local to her home town (Domremy) that a girl from the area would begin the campaign to drive out the English and would have the Dauphin crowned; she added that her father had said that if he had any idea it was her, he would have drowned her in a well. That may sound strange and harsh, but pere d'Arc could ill afford attention from either the English, the Lombards or French who were bleeding the populace dry. (Imagine three different George W. Bushes, each claiming the legal right to screw you as a citizen - and getting out the KY when he was in the neighborhood...Ms/Mr Taxpayer, look, you dropped your soap)
Hope I've piqued your interest! Gonna check out for now.
