This is a very bizarre Xena reference I received in the mail the other day. A garden center that I've never been to about an hour from here sent a postcard saying they've changed their name, but that "Xena's still watching over things!" I checked out their website, and found not only is Xena watching over them, but so is Zelda, (I drilled and found that Zelda is a character in a Nintendo video game). Check out the "Garden Guardians", Xena and Zelda......very, very strange.... www.larkemeadows.us/

Here's a really odd reference. In one of Ann Rule's books (she writes true-crime books which I read as sort of a busman's holiday), one murder victim, a male in his 40s, left 4 cats behind. One of which, of course, was named Xena: Warrior Princess.
Weird huh?

A cat lover and a Xena fan, perhaps. Nothing wrong with that.

I think in Colombiana the little girl is reading a Xena comics and she tells her father she wants to be like Xena. Later on as an adult she becomes an assassin

Xenawp, my sis mentioned that "Columbiana" tidbit to my niece and me Sunday. Very cool that Xena was her inspiration.
Fans of strong, capable, b*tt-kicking women will like that movie. Turn off your sense of logic, and enjoy the action.

Cat of the Day, Thanksgiving Day - 26 Nov 2013
Name: Leo Age: Eight years old Gender: Male Kind: Orange Tabby Home: Bauxite, Arkansas, USA I rescued Leo from the local pound to be buddies with my Great Dane, Xena. They got along so well. I sware Leo thought he was a dog for a while. Xena passed in 2006. It was just Leo and me until I met my husband in 2009. We married in 2010 and I became a Stepmom to one chow mix and two cats, all rescued, or course. My husband would nver have it any other way. His chow, Ellie passed two years ago. We have since resued a blue heeler mix from the Humane Society, Oreo. And sometimes Leo steals her dog house.
Leo loves coming in and out, in and out as often as you'd let him. Since we have five acres he spends more time outside than in, by his own choice. I named him Leo because he's not afraid of anything and he is quite the hunter. He loves playing with baby snakes (no kidding). He has yet to be bitten. He has also captured a bat! Not sure how he managed that one. He's a very sweet cat who enjoys the occasional snuggle for about ten minutes and he's a very loud purrer. I hope Leo hangs around for many more years!

I had a cat that purred so softly you could only hear him at night when the house was quiet.

They're like us - they are all individuals. The quiet purrer in our home was Posie - the true feral that we adopted. You had to be close to her to hear it. Near the end of her life we had to feed her with a syringe. She wasn’t overly pleased about having the tip shoved over her teeth, but she’d still purr softly when she felt the food on her tongue.

I never really understood the "princess" in Xena: Warrior Princess other than it being a regal title. I think Warrior Queen would have fit her character traits better. Never would I consider "Warrior Maiden" to be a good fit. Came across an article by accident the other day - The Myth of the Deadly Diva - while I was drilling for something completely different, and read this: "Whether seen as gods or mortals, women such as Joan of Arc, Brünnhilde, Floria Tosca, and Xena the Warrior Maiden will fight for what they believe is right."www.huffingtonpost.com/george-heymont/the-myth-of-the-deadly-di_b_1208158.html

Xena Reboot by NBC'But Lawless, who played Xena in the original series, dismissed the reports. "Sorry, friends! news of a #Xena reboot is just a rumour," she tweeted.' THR reported that the new version of Xena would be a cross between the original character and Katniss Everdeen from "The Hunger Games," dubbing Xena 2.0 as "a sophisticated and smart superhero for a new generation." I've seen a couple sources saying this really is being considered but is in the very early stages.

I saw it mentioned on both the Xena & Lucy Lawless IMDb.com boards. It would be great to have a reboot, but I won't believe the rumors anymore until I see the trailer for the movie/show.

Can't say I disagree, but it's fun to think it might happen.

I know what you mean - they're bringing back Xena (YEAH!), sort of (yeah), but it won't include Rene (drats)?

At this point I'm sure it will have an all new cast.
I read Lucy is joining the "Ash vs Evil Dead" TV series. Bruce Campbell too. I've never seen any of the movies. Don't know if I'll be watching the series either.

I've seen the original "Evil Dead" and the remake of the original (but none of the others in the franchise). The original scared the sh!t out of me the first time I saw it when it came out; the second time, years later, it was camp. The remake was just gratuitous blood and guts.
Anyone seen Lucy in the series "Salem"? I started watching the first season when it aired, but lost interest after a few episodes. Turned it on a few weeks ago out of curiosity because I'd read Lucy joined the cast. I'd missed too much, and too many new characters to pick up the story-line so it was a one-time thing; I'm not interested in tuning in again. I did see Lucy though; her character reminded me of Evil Xena.

Haven't seen any of the 'Evil Dead' movies, or 'Salem.' 'Evil Dead' is going to be a TV Series though, and Lucy and Bruce are in it. Don't know if I'll check it out.

Members of the IMDb Xena board have been talking about it since Comic Con. Rob & Sam are involved. There's supposedly a leak that it's going to be a Katniss/Hunger Games type deal.

Barefoot in the Dark by Suzanne Enoch
Page: 178
"People are staring, James Bond," [Samantha Jellicoe] whispered, twining her fingers with his.
"Let them stare, Xena, Warrior Princess."
Her grin deepened. "You say the nicest things."
