While I'm not complaining... because I think it's fantastic that Herself got some recognition on a major soap... could they not have described it using something a tad more colorful than "really long"??

Witty Claire
SPOILER ALERT: Dinna read unless you have read Dragonfly in Amber.
Just read the horrible scene in Dragonfly where Mary, Claire and Murtaugh are attacked. Jamie just got there by jumping down from a roof... And Claire is all "well well...look who's dropped in". I love how Claire sometimes gets punchy in times of strife. I can't help but giggle, even in the midst of the horrible situation. It's like when Mrs Vallely used to yell at us in the 8th grade when someone got a little snarky - all the while making little jokes during her rant. You knew you shouldn't be laughing...but darnit, you just couldn't help it.
If Bree had been there, (or born yet!) they would have started rhyming for sure. And seeing as it was Dr. Seuss Day at school and my son just got in the car wearing a red and white striped hat he made... I am having a right good giggle at the thought of that.

A Wee Scottish Secret
The following is a big, ol' bunch of speculation...and will most likely be shot down by this evening.... but it's too much fun not to share. :)
OK so thanks to Carla... I have come across an article about a film being scheduled for this summer in the Scottish Highlands.
Apparently, everyone up there thinks it's a remake of Highlander... and they think Kevin McKidd is starring in it.
COMMA mother-blanking HOWEVER....
....that doesn't sound quite right to me.
Here's what we know: Ann Peacock - writer of the Kit Kittredge screenplay and the original Chronicles of Narnia screenplay - is writing the screenplay for Outlander. We knew this wayyyyyy back in early October when Diana "Herself" Gabaldon confirmed it at ComicCon in NYC.
Here's what else we know: Melissa Rosenberg - writer of the Twilight series screenplays - has agreed - or is still in negotiations - to write the screenplay for a Highlander remake (I know, Christopher, I know... THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!! Shhhh... there now...poor dear) and it's rumored that Kevin McKidd will star.
What I find interesting about all of this is that I searched all over IMDB and am not finding much about a Highlander remake... but that's neither here nor there.
What IS here AND there is that there is possibly a finished OUTLANDER screenplay... and only a planned HIGHLANDER screenplay.
I don't want to be a Hysteric or an Alarmist or a flat-out Gossip Monger here...
But you do the math.
What is REALLY going on in the Highlands? They are talking about an August/September shoot in Scotland (Claire traveling... Leoch...Lallybroch) and an October/November shoot in Europe - aka somewhere cold with possible snow ( Wentworth! Wentworth! Wenworth! Oh and that other place, what's that called...oh yeah FRANCE... as in the Abbey. Need I speculate more?)
So that's where Tracey and I are this afternoon. In speculation heaven.
Stay tuned...

My Twilight AND Outlander Purgatory!
Before watching this video, I have a few disclaimers:
1) It is for entertainment purposes only...aka it's supposed to make y'all giggle and I don't mean to step on any toes and I credited everyone at the end.
2) I am a total video amateur and it shows. But I couldna help it, Sassenachs. I just... had to make it.
3) I hope you like it. :)

Interesting Scottish Links
OK so I saw Karen's post on Outlandish Observations this AM which contains a really cool video of a redheided Scot putting on a kilt and demonstrating 18th century weaponry.... and realized I am SO BEHIND on posting links.
THIS is very cool... it's the Kinnaird Lighthouse and Castle that was built for the Fraser family in the 16th century. Thanks to Marci for the link!
THIS is a page on a Celtic Traditions website that talks about Inbolc - the Feast of Bride. Also sent in by Marci who reminded me that Jamie "always prays to Bride".
THIS is a fun post over at Blue Moon Magnolia that talks about casting for Jamie Fraser. Thanks to Carla for sending it in!
THIS is a wonderful article about Alexander McCall Smith who has joined the campaign for a visitor centre to commemorate the Battle of Prestonpans. Make SURE you view the gorgeous tapestry. You may just shed a tear.
And lastly - check out the Red Hot Chilli Pipers - sent in by Kathy (and Shannon has mentioned them too!) They rock. Watch their video... it's verra cool because you can hear them talk. And lordddddd we love to hear them talk.

Second Life
I actually just posted on their Facebook page and asked if it's supposed to be Jamie. They'll probably laugh at me, lassies... but who cares, right?!
OK so the woman is in a red evening dress and wearing a tiara... but still. Maybe Claire wore it to a USO function in the 40s?! (I know, I know.. it's a stretch. LOL)
