Out of service...

Saturday a tree in our neighbors back yard was struck by lightning. I took a pic of it on my cell phone but the picture doesnt give it justice. There are tree parts all over our back yard and some flew all the way over to the neighbors on the other side of us. I bet it was an incredible sight to see it being struck, I was in St. Augustine when it happened. Along with the tree, the lightning took out three of our televisions and my cable modem. Comcast came out yesterday to replace the modem. I was so lost without it!

Tree struck by lightning

I wonder.....

I have recently been watching a BBC series called "The Jury" with Gerry in it and noticed that the head barristers are wearing a white wig.....which has made me wonder, if Gerry continued to become a lawyer (solicitor) would he have to wear a wig? The thought of him wearing one of those makes me double over in laughter.....hmmm....I wonder if that was the REAL reason he switched to acting??? If I was any good with photoshop I would take a pic of Gerry and place the wig on his head and use it as my avatar.

Why in the WORLD are they still wearing those wigs????

Dear Frankie

I love it! The movie was beautiful! I recommend it to any one! I would tell you my favorite scene but it might ruin it for those of you that havent seen it yet! Julie - When you see it I will post my favorite part. All the reviews I have seen on the internet are quite complimentary. I hope it does well.

I was scouting around ezboard's Gerard site yesterday at work (shhh! dont tell my boss) and I came across an interview where Gerry says he didnt get any money from the film....I wonder if he will get anything from the DVD sales? Maybe he just meant that he didnt get a lot of money from it...surely they paid him something!

The more I read about Gerry the more I like him.

"Dear Frankie" movie description

Driven by intelligent, constantly surprising and moving performances from the film's leads, Dear Frankie stars Emily Mortimer (Lovely and Amazing) as Lizzie, Scottish mother of Frankie (Jack McElhone), a deaf and highly intelligent 9-year-old. Constantly uprooting themselves and relocating from town to town, Lizzie and Frankie are on the run from the latter's abusive father, a fact unknown to the boy, who believes his dad is a busy seaman sending letters full of adventure and love. In fact, Lizzie is writing those missives, but she is faced with a challenge when Frankie discovers his father's ship will dock nearby. Lizzie hires a kind, handsome stranger (Gerard Butler) to play Frankie's dad, creating an odd situation in which ever-growing lies become a conduit for love, and Lizzie's repressed desires come to the fore with a man posing as her husband. The moral tangles are of interest in director Shona Auerbach's charmingly paced, quietly insightful drama-comedy, but so is the glorious feeling of watching these characters come fully alive. --Tom Keogh
