Some housekeeping -

Going to check out a church this next weekend - http://www.seasidecommunitychurch.org/index.html Something tells me it'll be good for kid to have a church home, I could use the time to zone out if nothing else and I like the political climate. Let's see how long it is before they get the pitchforks and torches out. ;)

One of the NEJM studies also showed that many older Americans as well as recipients of the 1976 swine flu vaccine may already be protected against the new virus. In that study, researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that tests of serum taken from 1976 swine flu vaccine recipients showed a strong protective immune response against today's pandemic virus. Hoookay. It's entirely possible I might have been in that group - Mom was a nurse, remember - so. I'm almost certain we had the flu itself - again, Mom was a nurse and I recall the number of little old people who were hospitalized for it. I wonder how hard the titer is to get done. Worth the trouble, you ask me.

A 3D remake of The Beatles' 1968 film Yellow Submarine has been confirmed, Disney Studios has announced.

I'm old enough to have been one of the target audience for the original film, and YES - we did leave the theater singing. LOUDLY. This is my favorite movie of all time, hands down. I've also made it very clear I really would prefer to have new stories instead of the infernal 'remakes' that I keep getting handed. (And asked to pay money to see. No, thanks.)

I'm telling the powers that be in the only language I have to QUIT IT. By not spending a single cent towards their support. No book adaptations, no merchandising, and definitely NO ticket sales at the box office.

I'll be playing my DVD over here in the corner if you want to find me.

Wow, that Disney announcement is upsetting. Why can't they just leave things alone? Come on.

But... I don't think modern animators take enough hallucinogens to make it as good as the original....

*runs away crying*

'Tis an abomination, I tell you!

On the other hand... have you seen the Beatles Rockband game animation? It's incredible.

I have! But still - not enough to make me want another platform in the house. Yanno.

O RLY? Does it need tech we don't have yet?

[tomlemos.livejournal.com]

damn it.

must they remake everything?

and Disney.

Damn.

I love the Beatles, but I don't see any need to see the new one. They probaby think it's for kids because it was animated. Ah, no.

Where's the Apple Bonker when you need him?

Family Fellowship Night as described in the link tells me this church is actually doing the work to be welcoming.Wish more places would do that.

While I can't see myself taking TLE to church, that family fellowship service sounds awesome. Nice to know that there are churches that realize that some little ones just. can't. sit. still.

I'm still of two minds about taking Xander into services with me the first time. One, I won't leave him in a strange place by himself but two, will he sit with me through a whole service?

Hmm. Will just have to see!
