here i don't come to save the day

a brave prince from down under has arrived as i'd dreamed and hoped. while i've been pouting in my little imaginary castle, dreaming of handsome good-looking warriors who'd spirit me away and save me from the evil one-eyed-one-legged-one-armed-one-headed dragon, he has fought off scores of imaginary dragons, plunged into the abyss of the unknown, braved the firewalls and...sent me an e-mail!

[dramatic pause for effect]

but, alas! i am still here in my castle. something must be wrong with my fantasy. i'll have to check & see where it broke...
