An alternative

[desperance]

Just to distract you from the horrors that was the post previous to this: Tricia Sullivan (whom God preserve) of somewhere-other-than-Utrecht is giving away a copy of her Lightborn. Which is something more than a treat and a temptation, it shall be a revelation (I say this without fear of contradiction, for lo, I think I have read everything else she ever wrote). All you have to do is go to her post here and drop in a comment. For double chances, reboost: spread the word in your own blog and send her the link.
