birthday sequels
This year for my birthday, Kali and Lori took me to see the third Shrek movie. This is my choice for next year's birthday sequel (but only because Harrison Ford returns).
Sean Connery Won't Be Back for `Indy 4'
Thursday June 7 1:41 PM ET
The next "Indiana Jones" flick will not be another father-son affair. Sean Connery says he will not return to play dad to Harrison Ford's globe-trotting adventurer Indy.
Connery played Indy's father in 1989's "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," the third installment of the franchise directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by George Lucas.
"I get asked the question so often, I thought it best to make an announcement," Connery, 76, said in a statement posted Thursday on Lucasfilm's "Indiana Jones" Web site. "I thought long and hard about it, and if anything could have pulled me out of retirement it would have been an `Indiana Jones' film."
"I love working with Steven and George, and it goes without saying that it is an honor to have Harrison as my son," he said. "But in the end, retirement is just too damned much fun."
The fourth "Indiana Jones" film, not yet titled, is again directed by Spielberg and produced by Lucas. Shooting begins the week of Monday, June 18, at an undisclosed U.S. location, and the movie is due out May 22, 2008.
Lucasfilm also announced Thursday that Cate Blanchett, John Hurt and Ray Winstone will be joining the cast, which along with Ford, includes Shia LaBeouf.
Connery who played the bookish Henry Jones Sr. in "The Last Crusade" and affectionately called his son "Junior" did have some words for the 64-year-old Ford.
"I do, however, have one bit of advice for Junior: Demand that the critters be digital, the cliffs be low, and for goodness sake keep that whip by your side at all times in case you need to escape from the stunt coordinator!" Connery said. "This is a remarkable cast, and I can only say, `Break a leg, everyone.'"
Lucas and Spielberg have been working with a variety of screenwriters over the years on the long-awaited sequel. The filmmakers have kept the story under wraps, with Lucas, Spielberg and Ford saying in interviews only that it would take place sometime after World War II. The first three movies were set in the mid- to late 1930s.
Among speculation the filmmakers have yet to confirm or deny is whether Karen Allen, Indy's romantic interest in 1981's "Raiders of the Lost Ark," might return. There also have been rumors that Kate Capshaw Spielberg's wife and Indy's love interest in 1984's "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" might appear in the fourth film.
Lucas and Spielberg are maintaining tight secrecy because details on story and casting are still being worked out and because they want to save some surprises for audiences, said Spielberg spokesman Marvin Levy.
"This is the closest to the vest I've seen. Does Indy wear a vest?" Levy said. "We have more speculation about a number of people than anything I have ever encountered."

more shoes
ok, so i haven't developed some strange need to buy girlie shoes lately. or, maybe i have, but the strangeness is entirely situational. and any good addict will tell you, every situation requires shoes. these are the ones we ordered to wear on the wedding day. picture them in chianti (that's red for the rest of us) and without the baggy cargo shorts and jeans. they are quite lovely, tho i'm not sure how good they will be for dancing. darn good thing we have dancing shoes!!

me and the giraffes
| You Are Destined to Rule the World |
 You have the makings of a very evil dictator... Which is both kind of cool and kind of scary! Will you rule the world? Maybe. Maybe not. But at least you know that you could. |
tell me a story
“When are you going to tell me your story, Margaret?”
“Me? I haven’t got one.”
“Of course you have, everybody has a story. It’s like families. You might not know who they are, might have lost them, but they still exist all the same. You might drift apart or you might turn your back on them, but you can’t say you haven’t got them. So, everybody has a story.” … “You are at liberty to say nothing, of course, but silence is not a natural environment for stories. They need words. Without them they grow pale, sicken and die. And then they haunt you.”
from The Thirteenth Tale, by Diane Setterfield
This is a story about my family.
When I was little I was in love with my family. We were two plus two plus two. We were old/young and old/young and old/young. We played softball and rode on the lawnmower with dad. In the winter he’d try his best not to run us over with the tractor while he pulled us on the sled in the snow. Mom led us in Brownies and took us camping and hiking and read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe to us over and over. We laughed at dad when he mispronounced Reepicheep intentionally for the 500th time.
I remember how good we were. We made sense. And even when it wasn’t comfortable the discomfort was comforting. It was mine. And though we all know the story doesn’t end there, that there were moments when we were mean and spiteful and sarcastic, today, this is my story.
When are you going to tell me your story?

listening
everyone knows that i subscribe to Audible.com which allows me to purchase and download "books on MP3." i've been doing this for over a year and i am so hooked i once gave up food for a month to pay for my subscription. (ok, that's actually a lie, but you get my point.) some of the books i've gotten have been great, some complete bores. i think i've managed to listen to the entirety of all of them, but not without some difficulty. last week i bought The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. i have been so completly sucked into this book that i was dreaming about the characters last night. it's about relationships and family and belonging and finding oneself and losing and love and people with money. this is by far the best fiction i've "read" in a very long time.
