So, so bummed that the Faten Salama workshop is the same date as Zehara's snake rescue benefit, which I committed to performing in a couple of months ago :-(  Maybe Zehara will switch to an evening event...

Some Dark is Rising movie news from scifi.com:

Ian McShane (HBO's Deadwood) is starring in The Dark Is Rising, a fantasy film for 20th Century Fox and Walden Media, Variety reported. David Cunningham will direct, and Marc Platt will produce. Frances Conroy (Shopgirl) and Alexander Ludwig also star. Production begins this month in Romania.

Based on a volume in the five-book series by Susan Cooper, The Dark Is Rising focuses on a youth, Will Stanton (Ludwig), who discovers at age 11 that he's the last of a group of immortals—the Old Ones—dedicated to fighting a growing presence of dark forces. He comes to the realization he's charged with saving the world.

McShane will play Merriman Lyon, one of the Old Ones who serves as Stanton's mentor and shield. John Hodge (Trainspotting) is adapting the project for the big screen.

That's really interesting casting.  Not quite what I had envisioned for Merriman--I think I had pictured an old and grey-haired Tom Baker--but I think that could really work.  I suppose Frances Conroy (Ruth Fisher) will be The Lady, which could work very nicely.  I can totally see her in neo-medieval garb.

Dragon's Bone:  "The dry, thin scent of a draconic ossuary.  Dragon's blood resin with white sandalwood, dusty orris and crisp blondewood."  I like this scent.  With all the sandalwood, it's a little manly, I think, but could work for anybody.  The dryness makes it a subtle scent; I doubt there will be any scent left by the end of the day, so maybe this is another candle candidate.  I think I've also used this one to scent a bath, which worked nicely.
