Hmm... That almost sounds quite Unseemly. Eh - I'll leave it.

After that, it's back to my novel. I'm reading THE THREE MUSKETEERS in a new translation by Richard Pevear, one-half of the couple who did the wonderful version of ANNA KARENINA about 6 years ago. It's quite good, but I honestly don't feel it's any better than several contemporary translations I've read. Some of his word choices are strange, but the book is fantastic in almost any translation.

I tried to post the cover, but i keep getting this "upload folder is full." I have no idea how other DRs are posting images.

DR elmore - Which cover/edition do you have?

This one:

Or this one:

*And I'm posting the images using the [img] coding - which works in a similar way to how you post URLs and hyperlinks. -Just hit reply to see how it's done. No need to save a copy of the image to your hard drive.

The top cover, but I think the bottom cover's more in tune with the book.

Congratulations to DR vixter on her Confirmation!

*Did they do the anointing with Holy Oil/Chrism? I remember when I had my Confirmation, all I wanted to do was to wipe it off my forehead since it started to itch. -But I wasn't sure if the Bishop would have approved.

No we don't anoint with oil in the Lutheran church (at least not our parish) we only started anointing with ashes on Ash Wednesday a few years ago -

After the canidate makes a statement affirming thier baptism and asking God's help, the Pastor puts his hands on the top of their bowed head and says a a prayer and a blessing

Seems to me it's MS, not BK, who needs a new avatar--all I'm seeing is a Red X where Michael Shayne used to be.

Interesting since I haven't added a photo since I came back under this name. Perhaps I should add something.

I figured out the resizing but the upload file is still full - I thought it had been emptied since Jose was able to post pictures

OK. From what I can tell from the publication information, the "comic book" cover was a special, semi-limited edition. The more classic cover was just released a few weeks ago.

So I would have to post the pictures somewhere else on the web and then link to that?

Well that will never happen, I am lucky I figured out how to post them here!

WHOA!

I just saw some footage on the news of an auto accident that occurred earlier this afternoon. A car drove right into a restaurant - right at 100th and Broadway. I guess I won't be dining at Indus Valley anytime soon, and I'm glad that the car did not run into the apartment building next door where a couple of my friends live.

I'm sure DR George will be more than happy to send you the link and instructions for the HHW PhotoBucket account he set up.

Holy moly it's going to be in the low 20s tonight. I haven't been paying attention to the weather. DR Ginny, get ready to get cold!

DINNER IMPOSSIBLE question - Is the "Alcatraz shower room" anything like the "Tresemme Hair Salon?"

Only if and when you drop the soap.

Just finished proofing the new booklet and inlay card - looks swell.

Let's not even touch the Aveeno inlay card

Had a full evening of viewing entertainment. I began with the last of the films in the Rialto boxset, a very strange little story of a donkey called Balthazar. It was a downer certainly, but I finally caught on to what Bresson was doing with the film. I appreciated it more than I liked it. It won't be one I'll be revisiting again.

Matt H. · « **Reply #233 on:** October 26, 2008, 08:53:03 PM »

Next, I began watching THUNDERBALL on Blu-ray. Looks fabulous, by far the best it's ever looked on home video. I only got 15 chapters in, so if I get time tomorrow before prime time Tv starts, I'll start on Chapter 16 in the film.

At 9 I watched TRUE BLOOD "live," and it's just so mesmerizing. I've really gotten involved with all of these characters, and we had a new one introduced tonight that was quite a surprise.

Matt H. · « **Reply #236 on:** October 26, 2008, 08:55:57 PM »

Next, I watched tonight's DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Best episode of the season. Every housewife's backstory and current story was interesting and held my attention completely. Tonight's show will give further impetus for storylines for the rest of the season.

I was irritated that the gay couple was again totally wasted.

Matt H. · « **Reply #237 on:** October 26, 2008, 08:57:16 PM »

I only had time left to watch about 15 minutes of BROTHERS & SISTERS, but I enjoyed what I saw. I'm sure I can figure out where the Kevin story is going even before it happens, but I'm still looking forward to seeing the rest of this tomorrow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #238 on:** October 26, 2008, 08:57:49 PM »

And tomorrow (or at some point during the week), I'll catch up with tonight's DEXTER and MAD MEN.

Matt H. · « **Reply #239 on:** October 26, 2008, 08:59:04 PM »

Unless KUNG FU PANDA arrives tomorrow (and it should have already been here), I'll work on THE BOYS IN THE BAND's new DVD release tomorrow. There are a fair number of bonus features on the disc, so it may take me a good portion of the afternoon and early evening to watch it all.
