I have a silly tendency...
...to post back-to-front. Even after all these months, I forget to post the pictures from the end of the episode first, so that at least, after Blogger has shuffled them a bit, they will still be in some rough semblance of order.

That Championship Season
I can't cap this as I only have it on video, and I won't have the chance to record it on to DVD when it airs on Movies 24 in the UK on Christmas Day, as I have cable and it is only on satellite. So it's thanks to Eliza for these.
For those lucky ladies who can get it - enjoy!
Anonymous, in the UK LOCI is on the Hallmark Channel, though terrestrial Channel 5 shows it when it can be bothered.

Partial Print
I only had time to cap about 15 minutes of Stray, but still had over 100 pictures to upload. Here's a taster.
Welcome to Blogland, Hoskeyapin
Our lovely and appreciative poster of comments has started her own blog on http://vincentfanbaseforfans,blogspot.com. She has asked about producing slideshows, and as I am a complete novice beholden to my fellow bloggers in general and Eliza in particular, I'll make a start, but please everyone, chip in and bail me out when I'm either stuck or wrong.
First of all, you have to go to something like Photobucket.com and sign up for an account. It's free. You can then load all your pictures up into files in your album. Do this from My Pictures, where you highlight a file and you will see "Publish this file to the web" ast the side. Click on it and go through the sequence. I can only publish 40 or so files without a fault occurring, so I highlight, say, 1-40 and do them, then 41-60, and so on.
When they are in your Photobucket album, there is a series of blue bars along the top, the first of which is "create slideshow". Click on this and your photos will appear along the top. Select the type of show and clisk on pictures (usually it will take 10. You can change the type of show up till you have saved it. Once it's saved, right-click on the "tag" line that goes with the slideshow to "select all", then again to "copy". Go to your blog, on Create Post click on the Edit HTML tab, right-click and paste in the window, add your text and Bingo! When you post the show magically appears.
If I've missed anything or got something wrong, someone please put Hoskeyapin right. Let's look forward to more fun soon on her new blog.

Ann's Tag
Six weird things about me. Mmm. Be selective, Val.
1. I have to wear outfits that match or contrast attractively in colour (including jewellery and undies) - today it's mauve trousers, white blouse with mauve and lilac stripes over lilac vest top, white bra and panties, mauve socks with pink and white stripes and purple shoes.
2. I can't stand to see a curtain not hanging straight or a throw askew, but I can leave papers everywhere and forget to vacuum for days (well, wseeks, really).
3. I ask myself questions out loud in the second person and answer them in the same way.
4. I have 14 dollshouses and room boxes, none of which is finished.
5. I keep buying boxes to store things in, but I have nowhere to store the boxes. They are on the sofa.
6. I put important papers, mail that needs filing or answering, subscription magazines in their wrappers and other vital paperwork on top of the TV in the kitchen. Then when that's full I put things on the hifi. Then on the stairs, one after another. Eight of the twelve are now full from the edge to halfway across.

Randomly Gorgeous
Whatever selection you make, you're bound to end up with something divine.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions on how to solve my DVD player problem. I'll have a go either this weekend ir the next. I have a suggestion from PowerDVD/Cyberlink to try first which is non-intrusive, but I imagine that long-term I'll be downloading software. Meanwhile I'll make use of my Region 1 only status to cap some Season 3 episodes or films.

Doh!
I was so pleased when I found that PowerDVD would let me play Region 1 DVDs. I'd already played so many Region 2s on it that I was sure that if it wazs going to fix, it would already have done so.
Wrong! It's locked on Region 1, ao I can now no longer play my Seasons 1 and 2 DVDs on it, and can therefore not cap them. I don't know what will happen with my home-recorded ones, but at present they are not playing well. My Season 3 discs are Region 1, along with a lot of the movies, so I'll have to stick with them till I can come up with a solution to the problem.
Guess for the time being I'm back to borrowing a lot of LOCI pictures from all but Season 3.
Help!
I mistyped the title of the previous post and have tried repeatedly to edit it, but though it looks fine in the edit screen, on the blog it keeps coming up the same. I blame this new keyboard on the computer at work.
Looks like I'll have to wait for tonight at home.

The War At Blogger
I've finally got peed off enough with peeinshorts to enable comment moderation. Not that I'm sure how to do it yet! I still can't get my head round how this idiot halfwit thinks it has the right to insult me, my friends and the lovely Vincent on MY blog for MY friends about MY beloved Vincent! Diane, to call it shitforbrains is to insult shit, as I'm sure my shit has more brains than that entire creature.
Peeinshorts, no-one will now read you comments as I won't even read them myself before deleting them. Poor ignorant child, you can't spell, you have no idea of grammar or punctuation, and you have been so badly brought up by incompetent or indifferent parents that you just don't know right from wrong. They taught you no manners (except bad ones) and they really must be terrible people to have produced a rude little troll like you.
Meanwhile, here is some of The War At Home to make up for the inconvenience of having to wait to see your comments appear. Thank you all for your patience.

Happy Google Day VIncent D'Onofrio
Here is my contribution to making a mass entry into the Google Alerts for Vincent D'Onofrio, the most talented, handsome and sexy actor ever to walk the earth.
I love the way the big boy is stretching up as far as his perfect height allows, and his jacket falls open to reveal a great view of that lovely body.

How...
...does any woman in his proximity restrain herself from leaping right on to him and smothering him with kisses?
