…now you don’t! Did you guys hear about those teenagers who tried to rob David Copperfield at gunpoint Sunday night in Florida? They apparently forgot who they were trying to rob because Copperfield pulled out his pockets to show they were empty. The thing is, he actually had his passport, wallet and cell phone on him (somewhere!). :rofl: They caught the kids later and charged them with armed robbery (not to mention stupidity LOL!).

I think Dish Network is having a free preview this upcoming weekend of Starz (and Encore, maybe?). Hope so! I need to add to my viewing pleasure for rerun season. LOL! Of course, I already have quite a few movies to watch.

    The Phantom of the Opera
    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
    The Mark of Zorro (the 1920 silent version with Douglas Fairbanks)
    Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking
    The Cat’s Meow
    The Day After Tomorrow
    Because of Winn-Dixie
    Flight of the Phoenix
    Spiderman 2

And hold on to your hats! :streamer:

I actually WROTE :typing: last night!!! Only about half a page and probably nothing I’ll keep, but it was nice to actually be creative. :)

  1. Great on the writing! I think I have to scrap the last three pages I’ve written and think about my first victim some more.

    The Copperfield story reminds me of the one about Vincent Price nearly getting mugged in New York a long time ago. He was surrounded by young thugs–who recognized him and got all fannish. Whew, eh?

    Yay on the writing - it doesn’t matter if its any good or not, the point is to get back into the rhythm of writing.

  12. Shelley, I hope you have better luck with your victim(s) than I’ve been having! LOL about the attempted Vincent Price mugging! I hadn’t heard about that one.

    Bren, keeping the flow going is the tough part!

    Stacy, I bet he did too! I know I would have! :D

    Trish, yes! I love Terry!!!

    Sandy, hang in there! I just added a word or two here and there yesterday.

    Thanks, Crystal, Melissa, Michelle and Rene!

    Kelly, so it would seem! LOL!

    Eve, now if I could just STAY in the rhythm of writing. :)

  13. Hang in there! I’m going to try to get some serious work done this weekend. I’ve figured out what role Victim #1 has to play in the story to make the rest of it work–or at least make it possible. Hope you have some inspiration on that front to go with all the perspiration.

    Zorro is on your side! :sword:

    And, given the nature of the thing I’m working on, this guy is for me. :rocker:
