Here's some movie info, a production update , and a quick peek behind the scenes.

If the window-dressing hockey-mom named Sarah Palin hasn't scared the guano out of you yet, watch this fun little video...


I've received dozens of online dating profiles of Christians over the past couple of years but never had any interest in fearturing them on the site.  Well, I changed my mind.  If you're a member of an online dating service and stumble upon one of these gems, please send it to me with a picture if you can.

Looking for Love...and Jesus

gb-99 080915 christian dating.jpgI try to learn something new everyday of my life. Ignorance and injustices hurt my spirit. I have too many interests to list but, I am fasinated by people,nature, & history to name a few. I have gone from being a wild rebel who fits the Scorpio description to a T; to being a woman of God. What beng a rebel didn't accomplish, Jesus finished by setting me free to live, to love, to grow and not to be afraid. I am just as happy in a porch swing watching the sun set/or come up as I would be jetting across the ocean. I once rode motor cyles and managed beer bars only to discover that there was a lot more to life when I had my first child. Children are wonderful gifts and I would still have a house full ,if it was God's will. I am a substitute teacher for special needs children and watching them get something for the first time keeps me young. I delight in listening to people's stories of where they are from and what they have done and in their lives. Everyone has a history or a story. My children say I collect people and stories. Can I collect yours? I will use the words from old country songs to describe my romantic side: I'm a blue jeans lady in pearls; a lady in public, but no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. I'm beautiful, but I don't know it. But the one thing I know for sure is always stand by your man! And I don't even listen to country any more. For music listening I like ZZ TOP, Leonar Skinner, Eagles, oldies rock & roll & classical. Everything reminds me of a song. Since I am a practicing Christian, I also love contemporary Christian praise and worship. I have no secrets. My life is an open book. Ask me anything. I don't like secretive, withdrawn, moody people. It is eaiser to get along with someone who is more like myself, outgoing and who has never met a stranger; than it is to try and pull communication out of someone who is quiet and withdrawn. Want to talk?

What is your religious affiliation?
Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and I therefore owe Him my life to dowith as He wills. I desire a mate who also seeks to serve Christ in full time ministry."


Do you look like anyone famous?
There is no one like me, but my body style most resembles Marilyn Monroe.

What kind of person are you looking for?
I would like to meet someone who knows how to laugh and is outgoing. Communication is easier if there it is an open communication with no secrets. So you be a talker and a listener. Someone who likes to laugh and can always see the humor in things, even if it means laughing at yourself. Please be someone who has the time to get to know me, not just someone looking to jump into bed. I have been alone 14 years raising my children, so I can wait a while longer. It wasn't always easy. HOWEVER, it gave me lots of time to realize that if I couldn't stay with a partner who became unable to be sexually active for some reason or vice versa; then I am not with the right partner. So...I'm holding out for that type of HERO. YOU, please, be a kind and considerate lover who doesn't always have to be the aggressor. Someone who knows how to give compliments and be playful. You know if this is you or not. Be someone who will make me feel special,beautiful, and the only one for you,even on days when I'm not. BECAUSE, that what I'll be doing for you. I've waited a very long time to try again, so please be "Someone who is a Christian and practices their faith. A born-again believer, who will be a leader in the home and pray with me about decisions before they are made. Someone who likes to attend church and praise the LORD. Is any one out there who wants to be treated the way God meant for a man to be treated? Please know I am a woman of God who believes that God can use even dating sights to bring us together, so if you're ready live by the GOLDEN RULE, I'm ready to be your QUEEN.

What do you like to do for fun?
[My town] doesn't have much to offer, but it is constantly changing. But I am a person who can make my own fun. I really am easily amused. Shopping without buying, people watching, even TV, computers, movies, games, walks, watching the city grow. I love to laugh, so where ever there are people, there's a good time: Walmart. Home Depot, Big Lots; well, you get the picture. As a single partent I did so much with so little for so long, it is amazing passes the time. Reading, the library, long drives walks.
My home for dinner or the Black Angus if it was a very special occasion. [My town] is located in the middle of everything, so it is an easy drive to the mountains, the beach. etc. It is easy to go any where from here. And it is growing in entertainment type activities.

If you could have lunch with any person (living or dead), who would it be?
If he were alive; my dad, I'd like a chance for him to know me clean and sober and have him meet my children and grandchildren. He died before they were born, I was only 21. And I'd like Mother Theresa to come in the place of my own mom though, and could you come too?

Newsweek Op-Ed: When Atheists Attack by Sam Harris

A noted provocateur rips Sarah Palin -- and defends elitism.

Here's an insightful op-ed piece about Sarah Palin, her apocalyptic beliefs, and the ignorance she attempts to divert attention from by her bravado: "I won't blink."

Harris ends with: "Let us hope that a President Palin would blink, again and again, while more thoughtful people decide the fate of civilization."

Although the article was concise, well organized and logical, the Newsweek editor in an attempt to stir up controversy (or to look like he was actually doing something for his pay) changed the title from Harris' "In Defense of Elitism" to "When Atheists Attack."  Sure the title change probably garnered more readers, but it also poisoned any possibility of the Christian readers summoning what little reasoning they posses to consider the points Harris makes.
 
The comments after the article show many Republican Christians with their panties in such a bunch as they (as the Godless Bastard says) "sprayed panic fire."  Unfortunately for them, many of the shots went into their own feet:

"I'm a mom of 8, and if I had to do neurosurgery on my child, you can bet I would find a way to do it."

"The two reasons I am voting for Sarah Palin is because she supports my values and she is a leader who is my only defense in modern government against self-centered idiots like Sam Harris."

"Let me take a SWAG. The writer is a NE liberal homosexual."

"Sam Harris' ignorance is guaranteed by his breathing."

I am one of those "regular folk" to whom those comments make no sense.  Most of the pro-Palin comments used arguments that sounded similar to the style of argument used by IDiot/Creationists; e.g. instead of touting Palin's experience, a vitriolic bombardment of anti-Obama remarks (mostly untrue) were thrown -- like monkeys flinging their own shit against the figurative wall to see if any would stick.

I recommend that everyone read Sam Harris' article.  For anyone thinking they might not bother to vote, read the comments after the article and remember, those people will be voting.


I posted a bunch of new pictures scattered throughout the site.  If you're bored, surf around a bit and find them on your own.  Or just click the crap below, get what you can out of it, and get off my case.

Heads up.  I'm about to start blogging so get ready for some angst.  Read all about it on Blogger.
