Enforced knitting time and other blah blah blah

Still sick. I went back to the doctor, got on some more drugs (steroids) and got a chest x-ray. Mostly I am still just tired and the coughing gets out of control when I do to much. So this weekend has been a couch weekend interspersed with naps. Hmmm - not to bad. If nothing else I have made headway on my son's sweater as a result and caught up on some movies.

Speaking of - one of the movies I watched was Jerome Bixby's Man from Earth. What a compelling, thought provoking movie. I highly recommend it to anyone is interested in something a little different. As a warning it is almost entirely dialogue. The whole movie takes place in a cabin and entails discussion among the characters but the content of the discussion is pretty intense. DH was so-so interested in it when I mentioned it but when it was over he was talking about wanting to buy the movie. 

I also have to share how my Young One is taking such good care of me. I was lying in bed the other night exhausted from coughing all day and letting the heavy duty cough syrup take its toll. Young One was lying with me. I mentioned I was thirsty and he went and got me one of his juice boxes. I thought that was so incredibly sweet. 

Finally - my tattoo is healed and I got a shot of it to share. I am really happy with it.

I love the tat. It's really cute. I hope you are getting better! Your son is so sweet! Hopefully you get your package soon. I can't wait to hear from you when you do!

Dear Miss "Quality Chick",

Thank you for the nice words regarding "The Man From Earth". After having spent the better part of the last four years working on the film, your kind words make it all worth it... that... and if your husband buys a copy! (FYI... we are still struggling to break even on this movie, so every little bit helps.) Its on sale at Amazon for under $10 bucks:

www.amazon.com/Jerome-Bixbys-Earth-David-Smith/dp/B000UYX4Q8/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1226274621&sr=8-1

that's the best price right now.

If you can, head over to our IMDb page at:

and post your review under the "user comments" and rate the movie (hopefully you think it's a "10") if you can. It'll really help our ranking and creates awareness for us (you can plug your blog while you are ther too!).

To everyone else who is reading this, please check out our movie and if you like it, please tell someone.

Thanks so much for the kind words and supporting independent films.
