Randomness before the weekend
First, let me thank everyone kind enough to send me compliments via meme. I love you all in a serious way.
Next: Links posted everywhere but that I want in my journal, too:
The Gospel of Judas has been discovered, translated and will be the subject of a National Geographic special Sunday night (opposite West Wing, dammit!). Extremely cool.
And while we're on the subject of things Biblical, how about we talk about walking on water?
Some Hollywood type decided that Exodus would look better on Dougray Scott and Naveen Andrews (who plays a character nowhere in either the original film or in the Torah, near as I can remember) than it does on Charlton Heston and Yul Bryner. Time will tell, but me, I'll take Bryner's swagger and Edward G. Robinson's corny menace over Hollywood pretty boys any day of the week. (That doesn't mean I don't appreciate either Scott or AndrewsI do, but, gee, talk about The Most Unnecessary Remake of All Time! Only a remake of Gone with the Wind would surpass it.)
In other news, more in line with science, a possible missing link has been discovered.
And lastly, I should note that I was $10.00 worth of bad today. I bought myself a new capo and strap for my guitar. My old capo disappeared years go, but I had a pretty, pink-embroidered strap that I adored and I don't know what happened to it. Its loss is kind of a heartbreakerI've had it since i was 16but I found a pretty black, blue and purple one for $5.00 that will do nicely as a substitute until Pinky turns up again. Fingers crossed.
