What are you sniggering at?

Adam McCune, describing with characteristic panache, the progress of his next film:

"Yes, all I have to do for that scene is show two imaginary friends walking away from two people"

"I decided to use all caps because that is what they did in Lord of the Rings"

further McCune Watch update: he now wears his hair in a 1" ponytail/tassel

Also, on the way back from work I passed high school football players wearing purple jerseys: one, though, had orange polka-dot zoobas as well.

Which is still nothing compared to the synchronized "running and leaping and praising God" that Baxter once witnessed, but it was enough to make me smile the rest of the way home.

Oy. Googling yourself can be embarrassing. Googling former penpals, on the other hand...

It turns out my junior high penpal has posted a movie review I gave her years ago on her website. Browsing around, I find she's been busy: with help from her periodical publishing parents, she is living out her dream of becoming a professional writer without having to go to college or read books with difficult vocabulary. Proving she's fulfilled each of those goals, her online store lists her favorite authors as "The classics, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and C.S. Lewis."

At the risk of exposing my own fatuous nonsense that is being hosted there, here's a link to her site: http://www.charitysplace.com/review/charitybishop.htm

Anyone who has a soft spot for the fictional offerings of Mr. McCune should check out her novels.
