I still need to see that! Maybe this weekend.

I also want to see The Incredibles, though.

I want to see The Incredibles too. But I'm thinking this is the first year in I don't know how many there's no "must" see movie for me...unless I'm missing something...

No LOTR, no Harry Potter, no Star Trek.

Well, there's Sponge Bob...

Yes, but in your case, wouldn't we be talking about 37 pieces of horse poo?

I'm bad at romance, too, and I have to handle two in upcoming chapters - flashback to 'young love' and present day... I dunno, I don't go for "love at first sight" at all unless, oh, there's magic involved or something. In fact my current notion of romantic is - you know in My Fair Lady when Higgins realizes how he's fallen in love with Eliza, and he says - "I've grown accustomed to her face"? That, to me, is romantic. The idea that someone has become so important to you, so much a part of your life, that you can't imagine being without that person.

As to word count - I can manage 1000 an hour if I'm distracted (say, surfing FR every ten minutes). Closer to 2k if I've got the right music and no interruptions.

I guess your Luke is too young for "A Series of Unfortuntate Events" but those books entertain me so much. My whole family, actually. And I told my mother that on no account are they to go without me.

Keep your nasty SpongeBob, precious. Give me well-animated Pixar films, yes, yes.

Yep, I agree. I just thought it'd be simpler to write the less complicated sort.

Fortunately or unfortunately, my story thought better of it, and is trying to break it to my character that love isn't something you necessarily find where or when or how you'd expect it.

And it's hard to write!

We've listend to Lemony Snickett in the car. But I'm not sure he's ready for the movie.

No, I wouldn't think so. And Jr probably doesn't want to go? Heh... I never thought I'd miss going to kids' movies, but somehow there haven't been many action flicks that seem worth seeing. I find myself looking forward to cartoons and children's fantasies.

Perhaps you should try writing something else for just a while? Maybe sneak up on the romance.

I'm going to post more of mine soon and I hope you'll share, too.

Jr. may actually see it. But he's reached that point where he doesn't want to go with me...

Hmmm... sounds like you need to tell everyone you're going to some action flick and then just sneak into the other showing...

I know, it just feels weird to go to kids' movies without kids in tow! And half the fun is watching someone else enjoy the show, anyway.

I don't mind seeing a kid's movie by myself or with the wife. Okay, maybe not Bob the Builder...

grrrr...Online rehearsal schedule hasn't been updated for tonite. Still says "Act II TBA." So I don't know if I have to be there or not. (it's the not knowing that bothers me)

I'd like to see more of yours!

As for mine...I'm running out of things for her to do outside of the romance part of the story. *sigh*

This is why I worry about the next 25k a LOT.
