I forget which thread I said it on, but I was excited a few months ago because my friend and I had been invited to do a Star Wars panel at a con. I had expressed nervousness as it was a con I'd never heard of that has no website or event coordination to speak of and that we hadn't been officially invited yet. I've been checking with my friend to see if he'd heard anything, the guy hadn't responded to any emails.

Yesterday morning I joked with my friend about the "invitation", and how we'd never see it. Last night he texted in shock, we'd gotten the invite.

I deliberated for a while, but decided ultimately not to do it, for several reasons. One, my wife is going to a convention out of town that week, so me going to a convention in VA means boarding the dogs and travelling, which would cost lots of money. But mostly because every other convention I can think of has a site where you can find out who's going to be there, what panels are going to be available, and all this MONTHS in advance, you know, so your guests can plan ahead. This con is in two weeks.

So, only people who know the con exists will be there. Only people who read the program will know there is a Star Wars panel. And no one is going to care what we have to say.

As long as one person cares about what you have to say anything else is a bonus.

I may use the radio show that would have gotten me that gig as a resume to maybe get a panel closer to home.

  264. ST. John Paul II   October 16, 1978 - April 2, 2005
  265. Benedict XVI   April 19, 2005 - February 28, 2013
  266. Francis   March 13, 2013 - ?

 updated my list to include the fact the John XXIII and John Paul II were canonized.

Actually, all the popes before Liberius (number 36) were canonized, as were the 37th through to the 49th popes. To make it simpler, the following popes, by number, rather than name, and including the ones you have already, are considered saints:

1-35
37-49
51-54
57-58
64
67-68
74-76
79-81
84
89-91
93
96
98
103
105
109
152
157
192
225
257
and of course, 261 and 264, whom you just added.

The following popes have been beautified and have the title "Blessed" (Bl.):

158-159
167
184-185
200
240

I do not know that by memory--I have a list of popes (it isn't as good as yours is, however, since it doesn't have the exact dates of their reigns).

Have fun changing them all (if you care to do so), and...sorry. ;)

Any of you know how to translate stuff to Ancient Greek? :)

I think CP3S has a grasp on ancient Greek, though I haven't seen him around here for a long time.

 υλικo?

VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.

Why? I know of several people who could, but whether or not they'd be willing to do so is questionable.

Apparently they are making a live-action movie of Jem and the Holograms. Truly outrageous.

It must be set in the 80's, or no sale. Hollywood already screwed up Josie and The Pussycats.

Where were you in '77?

I caught an episode of that show once; I found it completely cringe-worthy.

And yet, it was a scathing expose of the music industry, only without groupie orgies or drug overdoses. ;)

Only a handful of 80's syndicated cartoon shows aspired to be more than glorified toy commercials.

 Mmmh Thanks for the replies, guys, but on second thought, I think I'll have to go with Latin. I'm not sure the program I'm using will have 100% compatibility with the greek alphabet. And I kinda used to have a grasp on latin, anyway, so I get to have more control on what I'm doing. Or trying to do, anyway.

Well, like I said, I only saw one episode.

 I'm kidding all the way. I couldn't watch more than one episode. GI Joe or Transformers it was not. ;)

I'll PM you.

 I don't suppose you'd want to share with me too...? ;)

If I had more than a basic grasp of Latin, I'd be willing to help translate, but I'm not quite there yet. Since you're fluent in Italian, it probably comes more easily to you anyway.

So, I'm currently trying to send a message on tumblr. Problem is that it's hung up on the circle processing indicator thingy and not exactly clear whether or not the message has gone through yet. This circle processing indicator hang up thingy has happened to me before there. That's with posting a regular post or reblog. With that I open up another window/tab then see if the post has gotten through. Typically it has. However with tumblr messages there's no "sent" box so I can't check to see if it's sent out in another window/tab. I also didn't do my usual "right-click, select all, copy" thing to make sure that should problems arise I could just open up another such form and paste the info in. I also couldn't copy during it's hang up thingy because it's programmed to overlay the box with a semi-transparent white colouring after clicking to send. So I ended up retyping what I want to send in notepad. Though in retrospect I could've inspected the element and gotten to the text area text that way via the code and simply copied from there. Eh, oh well. Anyways I'm gonna let it sit there for a few more minutes then if it doesn't give the indication of a successful send of message I'll try again in another window/tab.

Unfortunately my Latin is still at a rather basic level since I haven't been focusing on it. Though I am curious what you're trying to do. Could I get a pm about it too?

Sfortunatamente il mia Latina è non buona. Ma sono curiosa quello che stai tenta di fare. Potrei avere un pm al riguardo anche?
