Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.
Howdy, Y’all! I’ve been enjoying a few days off for the Memorial Day Holiday, so no post today. But I just wanted to remind you that our next What I Learned From… group writing project starts NEXT Monday! Yep, that’s right; it’s just around the corner.
So don’t forget to tune in, folks; you’re gonna love it!
By the way, if you’re wondering what the topic is this time, well – I normally don’t let the cat out of the bag early (and believe me, it’s tough gettin’ that cat INTO the bag in the first place!) But this time I’ll give you a hint. Two hints, actually.
First of all, if you know where to look, the topic has already been announced.
Second, do you remember that guessing game you used to play as children? The one where you thought of something, and then to begin the game, people would ask you, “Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral?” Well, I’ll tell ya – it’s NOT a mineral!
See ya!

Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
Hi Bob! Hope you’re enjoying your time off. I missed the last one so am hoping to participate this time. Can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve.
Howdy, Karen! Yep, had me a great couple of days off with not much to do except avoid the heat (high 90’s) and go see a few movies with Mrs. MZM!
My verdict:
Chronicles of Narnia – very good
Indiana Jones – excellent
Iron Man – outstanding
Looking forward to seeing your entry this time, Karen!
You liked Jones better than Narnia, eh? I thought Jones was fun, but empty. Narnia had a bit more to chew on.
I haven’t seen Iron Man yet!
And I’m looking forward to this next project… I figure, since we have to be afraid, we’re writing What I Learned from … Zombies! Bring it on.

But that’s the whole point, Marcus! You have to view Indiana Jones as if it were a live-action comic book. You MUST suspend your disbelief from the beginning, or it simply doesn’t work! Survive an atomic blast by hiding in a refrigerator? Sure, why not? The do it in the comics all the time! On that level, it totally delivers!
Narnia was a disappointment because they took what I considered the much of best parts of the book – the spiritual parts – and left them out. At the same time, they added so much to the story it was hardly the same one. As a movie, it was great, and it worked. But as an adaptation of the book I consider it to be a failure. Thus – I liked it, but was disappointed at the same time. Go figure.
As far as Iron Man goes – just go see it! But I’m tellin’ ya now; stay until the absolute END of the credits. Seriously.
… and as for the zombie idea, well… hmmm… (sound of grinding gears)
Robert,
The only thing I can figure is that it must be about…cats. And, if we should be very…afraid, it must be about very big cats.
Seriously, though, you’ve definitely got me curious–sort of like the cat. Though, come to think of it, that curiosity certainly didn’t pay off for the cat, did it? Hmmmm….
Jeanne
One the contrary, Jeanne – it brought him back, didn’t it?
Well… you’re getting warm, anyway! Stay tuned for tomorrow’s announcement!
Robert,
Oh–you mean nine times? Good point! Hadn’t thought of that.
Jeanne
Well… eight times, anyway.
