If you could can it...

Just saw Men of Honor, with Robert DeNiro and Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Okay, so this is another "based on a real story" movie that very likely bears little resemblance to the real tale. Nonetheless, I found it uplifting. (So, it would appear you don't mind being manipulated if it inspires and uplifts you, eh? Interesting point.)

On a more mundane note, the day passed quickly. I spent way too long trying to get into the translation (finding dictionaries, electronic glossaries, etc.), and then got side-tracked with invitations to go for a walk (yes, yes!), and then, later, to watch the movie.

In the end, I got between a quarter and a third of the translation done and did get some PHP work done, too.

The festivities at the neighbor's house are tomorrow, I am told. (Either that, or we missed them today.) Gotta get the translation done for Tuesday morning, when it all starts again.

Cheers...

Indeed it is, and thought-provoking.

Actually, my remark was off-the-cuff, and not well thought out.

All of fiction is, after all, manipulation, as is all of art.

I didn't mean to imply you'd thought much about the remark, but since I'm sitting here in a fog of introspection anyway...

Sorry. My response to your comment, while "in the ballpark," was not well though out, either.

Two for two on the evening. (Sigh.)

Sorry if I sounded snappish.

Cheers...
