Pride and Prejudice Fans

[pegkerr]

I just called the girls, who are home today, and I was rather amused that my little sophists took my dispensation to watch "one movie, one that you can both agree on" and used it to watch, indeed, one movie: Pride and Prejudice--all six hours of it.

"I'm looking forward to seeing the new version, aren't you?" I asked Delia (we've seen the trailer in the movie theaters).

"Yeah," she said, with a shade of doubt in her voice. "But . . . I think the Mr. Darcy in the new version [Matthew MacFadyen] can't be nearly as good as our Mr. Darcy [Colin Firth]."

Laughs at the ingenuity of your daughters! A single movie indeed!

I also agree with their taste, as there's no Mr. Darcy other than Colin Firth.

Loved the picture you posted of the girls yesterday too --- they are growing up so fast. How does one make a user pic from a photo anyway?

What sort of system do you have? You may have a photo/.jpg manipulation software package on your system already. I can't answer that question unless I know what package you are working with; anyway, the basic idea is that icons can be up to 100 x 100 pixels. I get a photo, open it as a .jpg, do a "cut" of the portion of the photo I want, save it to a new file, and reduce it to 100 x 100 pixels. Then I load it as a new user icon.
