Wow. Over the past few weeks, I've been working very hard on Obliviana, trying to get the elusive "breakthrough" that would set Obliviana into motion. But now, I am somewhat exhausted and I have not yet found the breakthrough. This issue of OsoaWeek ends Book 18. The next issue will begin Book 19. I'm not going to do every issue of OsoaWeek in Book 19 separately, but rather, I'll be combining the issues, because considering where I am right now, I don't have a whole lot to say. Yet. With Y2K looming, I don't have the luxury of years and years to laze in--I have to get moving. I will reinvent Obliviana in the next few months. I might get the breakthrough, and I might not. But even without the breathrough, I will make Obliviana into something cool. The Lucky Storm this week is 5, a very cool Storm to end this phase of Obliviana on (the last six months). It's amazing that Obliviana is still in a "fetal" stage. But it surely is. Obliviana is pregnant with potential, almost ripe, just about ready to burst forth. Hopefully, the next issue of OsoaWeek will have some good news. Get all Obliviana. ------------------- LUCKY STORM ----------- Lucky Storm 234: 5 (Flip 5, Dire 5, Storm Pelter "Alice", Pilcansas Stormpost 3 & Arctahojast Stormpost 28) Previously: 209: 27, 210: 126, 211: 20, 212: 140, 213: 170, 214: 175, 215: 177, 216: 83, 217: 111, 218: 77, 219: 119, 220: 100, 221: 128, 222:198, 223: 189, 224: 17, 225: 150, 226: 44, 227: 54, 228: 31, 229: 137, 230: 23, 231: 114, 232: 60, 233: 101 Note: The Lucky Storm is drawn randomly, using a deck of 30 cards (called a "Storm Codex"), one for each Flip and Dire. ------------------- SONG OF THE WEEK ----------- Phish, "My Friend, My Friend" (Album: "Rift") ------------------- CARNE'S MOISTURE DETECTION FRIEND Episode Twenty-Six ----------- CARNE: Pacer, why are we at this yacht dock, and what is this secret you keep talking about?
