Flight of the Phoenix

Flight of the Phoenix - the Remake rocks. I admit I was angry when I found out they were going to remake one of my favorite childhood movies. Without Hardy Krüger! What an insane idea. Well, I confess my error. It's a solid movie, good drama, with an able cast, good camera work, and many very satisfying moments. Giovanni Ribisi rocked as Elliott. I won't buy it when it comes out, but I'll definitely buy it when it's affordable.

I started work on my slashfest fic. *feels virtuous* I have 250 words typed, and maybe another 500 words of handwritten notes. Not sure if the notes will make it into the final version, but at least I'm working on it. I'm confident that I'll be able to produce something on time. It may not be my best work ever, but it will get written.

I also tinkered with Four Fear today. My 'vision' is getting clearer. Maybe I can put in an hour or two tomorrow.

Unfortunately the summer holidays begin tomorrow. Meaning the kids will be home all the time, leaving me precious little time to write. We'll celebrate Tina's straight A's with a movie and ice cream.
On Sunday the whole family will hopefully go to Berlin for a week. Meanwhile, a friend will look after the house, the garden, and the fish. :-)
I won't post in that week, since I won't have internet access. But I'll take my computer and notebooks and I'll definitely write. And I'll definitely take a stack of books to read. Hopefully the new Harry Potter which I ordered via Amazon. Hopefully it will land on our doormat on Saturday.

I loved the orig Flight of the Phoenix but I have to admit I found the remake the most hilarious movie ever. The Breakfast Club moment with the stereo when they rebuild the plane made me weep blood tears.
