NPL update.
The new issue of The Enigma came out the other day. My showing amounts to a rebus, a word deletion, a phonetic word deletion written in collaboration with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tahnan (he supplied the answer, I supplied the verse) and two anaquotes (not to be confused with Anna quotes). One of those anaquotes is very old, so old that I had figured that it had been dismissed. If I'd realized it was going to make an appearance, I'd have offered to rework it. C'est la vie.
I also just noticed an error that had been made in last issue. I had written a puzzle that was a pastiche of the theme song to Scooby Doo. The editor fixed the meter of the poem by removing a "the" from the second verse. Unfortunately, that awkward rhythm is part of the original song, so now the printed version sounds completely wrong to me. I doubt that anyone else noticed, not unless they watched the show every day when they were kids, as I did.
Also, the next Los Angeles NPL mini-meet is approaching; there are about forty-five days left. I'd like to have a game to bring, so I'd better start thinking about it. Also, we're going to be hosting the national convention in 2005, so planning will begin. (Well, a tiny bit of planning). Further, I think I may offer my carriage-house-that-had-better-be-ready-on-October-1st-dammit for the next party.
I'd also like to get one or to more items into the Enigma editors before the deadline goes by for the next issue.
SunNYTX: 25. Flubbed the cross of 97D&102A. Also, the theme was pretty weak. SunLATX: 21:30. Worst limerick evar.
