The eye collapsed under the onslaught of the silver surfer, and was saved by the fantastic four. It’s nice to get some perspective on where this stuff takes place, even if in a movie.<BR/><BR/>C'mon when are we going to see the Queen and Prince Charles? Surely you went to Mme. Tussauds while in Europe.

A friend and I have a "fotonovela" (a kind of comic using real pictures) which is obviously based on the LOST universe, from a humoristic view point of the life in a university and the resemblances of the island and our faculty.<BR/>The page, if you are interested, is www.fotolog.com/lots_the_show<BR/><BR/>The thing is that we are planning a third season, and we wanted to use some of the photographs you've published some time ago in this blog, the ones in which you are in the window of an airplane screaming or something like that.<BR/><BR/>We would really appreciate your consent on this. (and any comments of course)<BR/><BR/>We are planning to use this fotonovela in a paper we have to write by the end of the semester. Your sponsor would be extremely helpful.<BR/><BR/>Thanks in advance.Dexter Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643716554876173147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-87412878440388246052008-07-09T11:47:00.000-07:002008-07-09T11:47:00.000-07:00Haha, great shots Jorge!Your posts always crack me...Haha, great shots Jorge!<BR/>Your posts always crack me up =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-58572007668887494582008-07-09T11:33:00.000-07:002008-07-09T11:33:00.000-07:00They are building one in Orlando near me!

People in my little town would completely freak if somebody took out a building permit for something like that. I wonder what sort of flaming hoops the developers of the London Eye had to leap through before getting permission to build it.<BR/><BR/>Looks like you had a great vacation over there, Jorge. I've never been to Europe. Maybe some day I'll have the chance. Got to put the kids through university first, though.Topangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316656628054511749noreply@blogger.com
