I know this isn't the place, but what do you think about book covers. If you published, would you rather only the title and your name appear or would you like an image or design?

Interesting thought. You know there are those illustrated books these days, I forget the actual name for them. It might work as a literary device there. I don't think book covers have ever altered my perception of a work. But then I don't know. Usually there is only one cover I'm reading out of.

If you remember, let me know.

Colors a very suggestive. The Quixote with the red cover and knight's helmet, made me think of a serious war epic. The white ink blot, made me think of a surreal character study.

Would you advise a single image representing the motif of the book? I find the idea of guiding the reader through the text with a central image, but a Quixote cover with a windmill gives too much away.

O! That's too many images Virg. I thought you meant something else. I'm a fan of graphic novels. Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns being my favorite. Kingdom Come is great too.

Nick you have very kind eyes. I admit I was also subject to your avi. (All the talk with you and Virgil have made me decide to post in the Quixote thread-it's rather slow right now)

Baki you are adorable and so is your best friend.

Thanks for posting guys.

From the archives...

These are from maybe a year ago, when I was playing the pinnaner for the "Teacher of the Year" breakfast ceremony...

And this is a bit more recent, and I think somewhat more revealing of my true character:

Thank you. Too bad the rest of me is mean, j/k.
It's funny there's more post for Quixote, than this months book.

James, that third picture you look like you're ready for a straight jacket. :lol: Nice photos though. I would love to hear you play piano. :)

I'm not sure, actually. It looks like there was a Starbucks involved, but I'm not sure where it was...

Thanks, Niamh and Virgil. V: I can't really play very well these days; I haven't been practicing much like I did when I wanted to go to a music college. I get the impression that, at the time that was taken, a straight-jacket wouldn't have bothered me, so long as I didn't have to be awake for it...

Thanks for posting your pic, Jamesian -- now we can put a face to the name! And what better place then at a piano (said the fellow piano-player)! :)

Indeed; there's also another on my profile from more...clean-shaven days... :sick: (My eyes are actually somewhat visible in that one, too.)

Actually I remember a picture of Jame's head with stitches I think it was. :lol: Right James?

It is nice to have a face to go with your name Jamesian. I like the third one. You have Starbucks and still you sleep:lol: It makes me think of how I feel most days.

Yeah, that was a fun one. No stitches, actually; just the naked gash in my head. I think I kept it as my avatar, out of laziness, for far longer than anyone around here probably cared to look at it... :D

I just had to share my booty from the QOTSA concert, I'm so very proud! :cool: :nod: And in case you're wondering, that's the Shards of Narsil behind me.

For some reason, I always did picture you with blonde hair. *makes weird psychic-looking wild-eyed face and wiggles fingers at you*

Very nice!

Nice photo Idril. You look twenty. ;) Why are all rock shirts black? As long as I've been alive it's been that way.

Twenty?! I think that's pushing it, now I know you're just trying to be nice where as if you'd said 30, I might have actually believed you. ;) And all the t-shirts are black because black is cool. :lol: They did have a few other options, one red and another yellow but my nephew got the red one and I couldn't get the same one as him and I don't really care for yellow so black it was. :thumbs_up

Oh, that's so cool! I have all three incarnations of that sword, Narsil, the shards and Anduril, we also have Sting and Gimli's ax. There's a few more I would love to get, but for now, that's the extent of our armory.

And that's a nice picture, BlueSky. You look much like I had imagined. That woman looks like she's wearing a wedding dress...curious.

Thanks Kiz:
Really appreciate all the nice comments....

Had meant to post sooner, but all pics of me were at least 2 or 3 years old..back when I had long hair, down below my shoulders...before my drastic cut..:D
this one was taken last month....

OK, I exaggerated, but you do look young. At least in this picture. Frankly I've gotten so old ;) that i've lost perspective on age. So let's split the difference and say you look 25. :)

Agravis, I wasn't sure that you were being serious (:blush: ), but anyhow, if you look like one of the band, cool. Never said welcome to you yet, so I'll say it now, "Welcome"! :)

I get that quite a bit with this screen name..I use a variation on another site and get the gender issues also....kinda funny, reading some responses...

and yes that is a wedding dress my dear friend has on.....not my wedding..:D One of these days, I'll relate the story behind the pic.:D

BTW about my hair cut...when I cut my long hair, I donated the length to
Locks of Love, non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

consider this a plug, if any of you out there are thinking of getting your long hair cut.....:)
For more info just Google or Yahoo.....:D

Blue Sky Allman Brothers

It dont worry bout where its going, no, no.
Dont fly, mister blue bird, Im just walking down the road,
Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know

Chorus
You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day.

Turn your love my way, yeah.
