From my daily calendar, how many of the James Bond Movies starring Sean Connery can you name? 

Hint: There are seven total.  I got 6 of them, and for some reason my brain kept telling me To Sir with Love, which I knew was wrong but couldn't get out of my head.

Answer under the cut )

For those not on the other email lists I am on (and my apologies to those who see this more than once):

I am trying to find contact information for Master Thoron Ravenoak, (mka Karl Anderson) who moved to Minnesota from Caid a while ago.  If anyone knows him, or has contact information for him, could you please share mine and/or ask that he contact me?

Thank you so much.

Johnny will produce and star in the movie THe Rum Diary. Denise Chamian is the casting director and has been involved in casting movies such as Pirates of the Carribean.

Begun in 1959 by a then-twenty-two-year-old Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary details the life and events of Paul Kemp: He's a freelance journalist who finds himself at a critical turning point in his life while writing for a run-down newspaper in the Caribbean. Paul is challenged on many levels as he tries to carve out a more secure niche for himself amidst a group of lost souls all bent on self-destruction. Thompson delivers a potent story that pushes the sometimes brutal truth of human relations into your face in such a way that it would be absurd to not laugh.

Female or Male All Ethnicities 18 to 65 for extras

This movie is scheduled to be shot in the Wisconsin area. Extras will recieve pay and travel expenses will be covered. Extras will be needed for a 10 day shoot. Please email or call if interested (206)736-2105

From an email tip I got today:

If 10,000 <people> switch from red meat to a vegetarian diet (no - that doesn't mean just salads) one day per week, in a year we'll avert the emissions produced by driving a car around the equator 288 times.

The website is idealbite.com - the idea behind it is that you can make your world 'greener' one bite at a time, rather than having to take giant drastic steps.  Kinda cool.

People have done this on and off for a while - I thought I would try:

Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

"In a non-stick skillet, cook onion, chicken and marinade for 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink."

You haven't heard yet,  Stephen du Bois won Crown in Northshield, for Ailleanne ingen Faelin.  He defeated Sir Leif Haakenson in the finals.  I'm told it was a good tourney.

Just for G....

Favorite line from the Princess Bride, preferably not "As you wish" or Inigo Montoya's speech.

Peter Collingwood died yesterday.

http://www.petercollingwood.co.uk/

When I started weaving, he was to weaving what Janet Arnold was to costuming - that reference that everyone looked for, and the basic you gave people when they first started.  Not historical weaving, per se, but the basics.

Sigh.
