The Da Vinci Code

I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but I thought this was entertaining:

"To their credit the director and his screenwriter, Akiva Goldsman (who collaborated with Mr. Howard on Cinderella Man and A Beautiful Mind, have streamlined Mr. Brown's story and refrained from trying to capture his, um, prose style. 'Almost inconceivably, the gun into which she was now staring was clutched in the pale hand of an enormous albino with long white hair.' Such language — note the exquisite 'almost' and the fastidious tucking of the 'which' after the preposition — can live only on the page."

"But thank the deity of your choice for Ian McKellen, who shows up just in time to give "The Da Vinci Code" a jolt of mischievous life. He plays a wealthy and eccentric British scholar named Leigh Teabing. (I will give Mr. Brown this much: he's good at names. If I ever have twins or French poodles, I'm calling them Bezu and Teabing for sure.)"

Ok, so I've seen a lot of pictures... and I am thankful for that... But how about a 'play-by-play'? I haven't read anything about how it went. A picture may say a thousand words, but the right words can show many more pictures.... HAVE AT IT!

(By the way, that picture IS hinting that Jack and Stacey are on their way to their Ukrainian reception...)

OUTRAGE!

Dasha and I are OUTRAGED by the fact that it is already SUNDAY EVENING and there are no wedding pictures up. Someone must have had a camera!!!

Oh, Happy Day!


Congratulations to BEST FRIEND JACK AND STACEY! Obviously they won't be reading this, so someone should probably go ahead and congratulate them for Dasha and me.

Wishing we could be there
Wishing we could see you
Wishing we could give a toast
Wishing that someone puts up some pictures TONIGHT!
Wishing you the best.

Jamie and Dasha

P.S. Were they registered? I never got that info!

SALISBURY, Md.

A 20-year-old was found by a Wal-Mart employee in the bathroom Sunday night after he sat down and was glued to the toilet seat.

The man, whose name was not released by police, was taken to the hospital late Sunday night, said Lt. Cheryl Rantz of the Salisbury Police Department.

"The man had gone into the bathroom and sat down," she said. "He was banging on the wall when the employee came in."

Rantz said the man was treated and released.

American troops have complained that a new armoured body suit designed to be worn in Iraq makes them look "goofy".
