This is really weird. A friend of mine rang this morning and ask if I'd heard about TNWBDS.  I told him his news was old and outdated. He said he'd read about the show in a new issue of Star magazine (the tabloid) he purchased in the supermarket late last week.

I can only assume they got hold of a really old news release somewhere or other...

Lime green, eh? Well, that makes sense, since it is THE Dark Shadows color!

Still looks like a color of pink I would normally describe with a word that starts with baby, followed by a "sh" and ending in "t" but would be impolite to write here.

A blind friend of mine explained my color blindness to me.  I do actually see colors, but I am missing these things called "cones" in my eyes that allow me to distinguish certain colors.  Shades of grey and green are among the problem colors for me.

Lucky thing I never went into art criticism, isn't it?

Thanks, doll!

Mysterioso Darling, you *know* "Beyond Wicked" is going to be the title of my memoirs, don't you?  Shelve next to "Little Me" in the Blue section of your home bibliotheque.

When I first saw the "child" board display (hey, it's a Mother and Child Reunion!), I recalled how we were requested to collapse the menu display on the first page of the boards a couple of years ago in the interest of conserving bandwidth.  I don't really understand how bandwidth works but would figure that displaying all those board titles and links takes up a lot more BW than is necessary if I'm just checking the day's new posts.

I checked around and was surprised not to see any new instructions about this.  I didn't realize that the new thing is still in beta.  Seems a little strange that other systems admins who are using this haven't expressed concern over the BW issue.  Is that a red herring here?

It would just make *my* life a little less complicated not to have to navigate that big screen.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Humbert Allen Astredo?  Seems as if I recall reading that in 1969 or 1970, during one of his breaks from DS, he played an interior decorator on another soap.  Gods, what I would give to see him in action in such a role...

Just imagine the sinister sound "fuchsia," "peach," and "burgundy" would have rolling off that wicked tongue!

Just a stab in the dark, but since the episodes we're currently "watching" were taped in the late Summer of 1968, I'd guess that accounts for Vicki's sleeveless look.  It was popular for summer dresses in the late Sixties.

Old fogey Gothick (if you want a fashion blast from the past, rent the Monterey Pop DVD--you'll find out just how garrrooovy the clothes were back in 1967, Summer of LOVE!)

OK, is it just me, or does Julia look as if she's having a very private, personal moment in today's montage?

I saw this yesterday and thought nothing of it, but today when the top page first loaded it hit me that the Physician to the Vampire appeared to have found something VERY special in the woods.  Maybe Tom was down there out of frame???

Also, a technical note--I've tried to figure out how to collapse the new index of the 9,999 chat boards available on Current Talk, and have found defeat upon the Field of Flanders.  Do I feel like an old lady.

Inconsolable,

G.
