Welcome to the 2nd Annual Endings Blog-a-Thon, running (slightly belatedly) from 12/28 to the 31st here at Valley Dreamin'! I announced it back in October, and all the info on what it's about is there. If you'd like to see last year's entries @ JMC, go here.Here's what we've gotten so far...

If you'd like to participate in this blog-a-thon, just write your post, post it to your blog/site, and send me a link via e-mail or in the comments section of this post -- simple as that! And thank you to everyone that has joined so far! [/makes more sense in the future, I hope]
UPDATE - Okay, so now the blog-a-thon is technically over, but not officially. I know of a couple bloggers who have yet to participate due to time constraints and other logistical matters, and I am in no place to discount their entries when they send them in. SO, I guess I'm leaving it open for anyone to still contribute! Just follow the instructions in the above paragraph and your post will be included if you wish to. Cool? Cool. :)

JD.
My posting will be (gasp!) a couple of days late. I will participate but somehow Colombian country does not have readily accesible internets and will result in a fashionably late entry. ;-)
Umm... JD? Where's YOUR ending??? :)
I'm workin' on it, I'm workin' on it.
Whew. I finally got mine up:

Thanks a lot!!! and Happy New Year!
upon further further review, it is a bit scary. Magic 8 confirms it too.
It did too get a U.S. release. Just not a very big one.
Apparently it's officially being released on January 7th. So.
