gee, good morning to you, too...

Disney jumps ship on next "Narnia" - Yahoo! News:

"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" will have to sail without Disney.

The studio said Tuesday that for budgetary and logistical reasons it will not exercise its option to co-produce and co-finance the next "Narnia" movie with producer Walden Media.

The third entry in the series, based on the classic books by C.S. Lewis, was in preproduction and set for a spring shoot for a planned May 2010 release. The development puts the participation of the talent attached in doubt.

The joy of celebrating a godless Christmas. - By Torie Bosch - Slate Magazine:

Santa doesn't check church attendance to decide whether he's going to give a child a present—he checks whether she's been naughty or nice.

needs no comment

i want to be cheerful and wish everyone a merry christmas

but i can't.  'cause i'm stuck here.  'cause the stupid package for my mom has been on a fed-ex truck since 824 this morning AND STILL HASN'T GOTTEN HERE YET.

and because we're heading south from mom's tonite, I CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT HERE if they drop it off friday, 'cause it may not be here when i get back if you know what i mean...
