wiseheartI'd like you to know that the Gode Cookery website is a delight. I never imagined so many medieval recipes would still exist. I checked out the site for a menu that would match Lord Orchald's Yule feast, and found the most intriguing things possible.
********************
Ahem. Yes. Lord Orchald has always been played by Sean Connery, but now I have "cast" Stuart Townsend as his son, young Lord Herumor. The boy looks pretty, but not in a feminine way, and long hair suits him greatly. I think he was considered to play Aragorn for a while, but then the idea was discarded because he looked too young. That's true, actually. He does look too young for a LOTR-era Strider. But as a young Estel, when he meets Arwen for the first time, he'd be great. Assuming someone else than Miss Overbite would play Arwen, of course.
I hope to finish this Advent series in time. The first part of DAy 24 is already finished, but I needed to break it into several pieces, so that it won't become overly long compared to the earlier parts. I still have at least two more parts to write. But again, I still have two days, haven't I? It would be ridiculous, should I not manage to finish it.
I was actually surprised to see that some people liked it. A series with nothing but original characters in it, who are all - well, most of them - doomed to die horribly in a few months' time is nothing you'd suppose to become popular. Well, popular is probably a bit too optimistic. But people really seem to like it.

Mira offered to make a Sean Connery=Lord Orchald photomanip for me. *hugs Mira* Now if I only could figure out how this photobucket hosting thingy worked, I could even show you folks the result.

Date: 2005-12-22 03:26 pm (UTC)You have a paid account, so...all you should need to do to load a picture is have it saved on your harddrive, then go to LJ just as you do when you're going to post a new entry. You'll see a little bar up at the top right (if you're using IE) that says "insert". It's a little pull-down bar. One of the choices on that bar is "image". Choose image, and then wait while it pops up a separate window. In this one choose "browse" (on your PC), and find the picture you want to upload. Click on "Seanconnerylordorchald.jpg" or whatever you have it saved as, and then upload.
Voila, you should then have the code in your LJ entry that adds the image to the entry. :) I hope. Unless I bungled telling you, in which case...heh...sorry!
