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...

SHERI THE CFZ INTERN - Day 1 – Saturday

Day 1 – Saturday

The night of my arrival, on the Friday, was fairly uneventful. We went to Lidl to buy cereal: yummy chocolate hoops. I had the most tedious seven-hour train journey yet, as I had been quite absent-minded in the morning and forgotten to grab a book. Though, all in all, it wasn’t too bad. I was just half asleep all evening.

Sleeping in the living room was an effective way of ensuring I was up and ready on time (around 10am). My efforts in folding up my bedding proved futile once the dogs came down and felt they could make it look better.

I got on with type-setting the second volume of the Eberhart book until Charlotte arrived. One of the colonies of cockroaches had collapsed and we were to begin to set up a new one. Rotting logs were placed on top of compost and the four surviving members of the previous colony were thrust into their new home.

After a quick pot noodle break, Charlotte went home and I got back on with Eberhart. I got though about a third of the book before we called it a day. Then we watched the first episode of a TV documentary series about Bigfoot-type cryptids. I was unimpressed. It was more for mere entertainment value than anything scientific. Jon seemed utterly dismayed and openly berated both the show and its personalities. Then it was bedtime.
