For any subscribers....you probably just got five or six alerts of the same blog. I was having some editing trauma. The copy/paste thing just wasn't translating. I thought sure there was a "preview" button, but I've lost sight of it if there is.
For probably all who follow this blog (all maybe four of you), you are aware of this info already. It's going to be historical info one day. It's from my other blogsite that I'm experimenting with. <3
Excitement abounds! This is Will's first published article! He has developed his own website, Filmociraptor.com, and is working VERY hard, writing reviews and news, and posting trailers and such. Well, whatever else he's doing, like exposing himself/sending resumes, etc, he's managed to get some interest from www.cinemablend.com, and they have decided to publish him! Mind you, there is no pay involved for this one, unfortunately, but hopefully there will be eventually. I find it quite ironic and hilarious that there's an "Online Bible Study" link next to the title of a most irreverent writer. Hopefully, copying the article and pasting it here will work, and cheers to Will for being assertive and persistent!

When you were a kid, did you ever sit in Sunday school and wonder, “What if Moses was a bad mutha and beat the ever living crap out of the jerk off Pharaoh? Yup, that’d be awesome. Our father, who art in Heaven…” Well wonder no more, Jesus freaks, because Peter Chernin over at 20th Century Fox is giving us just that.
Variety says that Fox is digging up Moses for a new trip to movie theaters. Remember The Ten Commandments? It's like that, except probably with more explosions. It's the 21st Century after all. It'll cover everything, from his birth and subsequent river trip, to his life in the house of Pharoah, to his rebellion and deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery.
The production is being pitched as the classic tale, but with a “300” vibe, AKA an AWESOME vibe. Everyone knows the story, but no one knows that Moses had washboard abs and often yelled loudly in slow motion all the time. What better way to promote Judaism than to have one of its figureheads burying spears in the chests of his enemies?
Adam Cooper and Bill Collage are at the pens following up their most recently turned in script for a re-imagining of Herman Melville’s classic “Moby Dick”, which Timur Bekmambetov will helm, bringing similar badassery to that tale as is being brought to the Bible. This of course begs the question: Who would win in a fight: Leonidas, Moses, or Captain Ahab? My vote is for Ahab, but time will soon tell.
As the least religious person you could ever hope to find, even I'm excited to see where this goes and what the American Church system will have to say about it. Will they be happy or will they give the movie a bunch of free promotion by protesting it? Either way, it’s going to be a shit show and I can’t wait for it to start.
16 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER FIFTY YEARS TO LEARN By Dave Barry Nationally Syndicated Columnist
1 Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2 If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved and never will achieve its full potential; that word would be "meetings."
3 There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4 People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5 You should not confuse your career with your life.
6 Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
7 Never lick a steak knife.
8 The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9 You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
13. A person who is nice to you but rude to a waiter is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
16. Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

How are you feeling RIGHT now?: Pretty much ok. I'm not at work. That's a win win.
Whats the closest thing to you thats red? The latest Coldwater Creek catalog I got yesterday.

Ok, so it's time for a blog, but sadly I don't have the time to write all that I'd like, so I'll do a survey instead. zzzz
I'll just say, in a nut shell (who thought that phrase up? I like it) that life is good. Hitting random time points: It's hot as Hades in New Hampshire this week, so that can make me fairly grumpy cuz it screws with my hair and makes my clothes stick to me. I've lost 13 lbs. Had a fun time at a Bartlett 4th of July cookout. Will is coming home tomorrow night!! Tim is getting married on Saturday. Dover cookout on Sunday (I hope I'm invited-I'll be there even if I'm not!). Took a wonderful three day trip to the Boothbay Region a few weeks ago. Arthur's 21st b-day is nearing; he got a nifty (old) bike to tool around on. On the knitting front, I got my first sweater panel done, 1/4 of the way done on the second. I still feel like a sub-beginner at this, but I like it a lot. Wade's awesome; loving his new tractor, selling bikes, buying bikes.
I wish I could retire. I "could", but...
Anyway, here's the survey. zzzz
love
Mum
* How long have you been a Mom? Come Friday, it'll be 24 ¼ years (plus 9 months)
