WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

THINGS ARE BEGINNING TO COME TOGETHER

I was just about to write `Things are gonna get better` but then I remembered that God-awful song, and the disasterous 1997 election victory to which it was the soundtrack. We ain't New Labour, we are the Old CFZ, and beware of imitations!

I have not been in the best of headspaces over the last week. The stresses and strains of the last month have got to me a bit, and whilst I can handle big stresses reasonably well, the constant stream of little bits of crap that have gone down over the last five or six weeks have been too much for my fragile psyche.

However, it feels like we are at the turning point today. It's been a good day so far, and I have actually achieved more than I had hoped. And there are several more hours to go. The first trenche of Animals & Men #46 is being posted as I write, On The Track episode 22 is finally finished despite a string of computer problems, I am just about to do some work on the Emily movie, and later Dizzy Ms Lizzy and I are gonna have a blitz on Glen's book. I might even tidy up my side of the bedroom before I go to bed.

Keep yer fingers crossed for Shosh's exam results tomorrow. I'll let you know as soon as I do, (and for regular WW attendees, I'll let you know about Aurelia and Becky as well)

Wayhay!
