kyburgGoing 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.
