Indy 4 Update

The amazing thing about the next Indiana Jones movie is that even though Harrison Ford is 64 years old, they will manage to make him look like he's 50 again.

Here's the latest blurb from my new, favorite movie info. source, EmpireOnline.com.

Indy 4 Filming In June
Fresh from handing his old chum the Best Director Oscar on Sunday, Steven Spielberg has revealed The Fourth Installment of The Indiana Jones Adventures will begin shooting on June 18th. That gives the 64 year-old Harrison Ford just over four months to get into whip-cracking, hat-retrieving shape. And according to M&C, the actor has already begun a punishing training regime: "He's been furiously working out on the treadmills at a Los Angeles gym for about three hours a day to get in shape,” reports a source close to the actor: "He's on a strict high protein diet. He's eating lots of fish and vegetables. It's hard but he's already looking great for it. He wants to make sure Indiana is as tough as he always was”.
Currently, Ford is the only member of cast confirmed to star in the Lucas/Spielberg project and we’re going to have to wait another 15 months to see exactly how Indy makes his big comeback.

And of course, if someone offered me millions of dollars to star in a major motion picture, I'd find it within myself to stay on a treadmill for three hours per day, eat nothing but fish and veggies day in and day out too.

Maybe I'll do it anyway, and call it the Harrison Ford Diet. However, I stop short at applying wrinkle cream and dying my hair, at least for a few years anyway.

Who Knows...?

In an effort to provide you with the best blogging experience possible, I have changed the setting for comments, which I had mistakenly set to only members of this blog, which means only I could have left comments. I talk to myself, yes, but doing that would be stretching it, right?

So, feel free to comment away.

Die Hardererer!

OKAY... You know I'm a Bruce Willis fan, right?

Bruno, I even think your music is great, and very under appreciated.

Anyway, I think I kinda look like him, which really isn't saying much since when he was my age he still had a full head of straight, dark European hair, while at age 33, I don't, never did really, but I digress.

So, come to find out "Live Free or Die Hard" or "Die Hard 4.0" is coming out this summer, and I'm rather excited. The trailer, here you go, looks compelling enough, for even the neediest of action carnivores, to enjoy bit by tantalizing bit.

Enjoy!

What have I done!?

I have created a comic genius! I wish I could have laughed harder, but the joke was more or less at my expense.

Here's the situation-- Zoë was very tired and very sick last night, so I was already in a humor lull, and apparently not expecting much fun and games, and it was time for her nightly sippy-cup of milk.

I had already successfully made Kari-Lyn's milk, which I warmed up at my usual time and temperature in the microwave. Kari had no complaints. Zoë's milk was prepared exactly the same way, but she insisted it was too cold.

After a brief conversation Ciria said I should warm Zoë's milk up for what turned out to be too much time, because Zoë complained instantly that it was too hot.

Now picture Ciria cradling Zoë in a blanket while Zoë is calmly playing the human thermometer with her milk, and she's sick, right, so I'm now working on dumping out just the right amount of hot milk and replacing it with cold milk. I figured I have many years of experience with this type of activity, since I'm anal to the n'th degree, and thought I had the correct mixture.

So I hand Zoë her sippy, and she takes a swig, and in the same dead-pan way as the other critiques states, "...it's too cold," and starts to hand it back to me in exactly the same way as before, and I'm thinking to myself how can that be possible? Then, she gets this look. It's the look of I gotcha; and she smiles and giggles a bit, and I'm still processing the fact that her milk is at the perfect temperature, and she's just told me it wasn't. Hey! That's hilarious! I wasn't expecting her to josh me like that. I laughed and laughed.

Anyway, if you didn't get it, I guess you had to be there.
