New Week in Pictures! At last, up to date. Kinda… Go here.

I didn’t know anything about the movie apart from the fact that it was about the Iraq War and that it had 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. Telmo suggested we see it yesterday and I’m so glad that he did.

It’s a nail biting, nerve recking, OMG OMG, kind of movie. Much like a japanese horror movie (or so I’m told – I don’t watch horror movies) in the sense that it’s a relentless stress.

I loved it. Perfect writing, sets, acting, story line, whatever… Perfect.

If you loved “Generation Kill“, the brilliant HBO mini series about the invasion of Iraq, you will love this movie.

Here’s the trailer:

Copy the original TwentyTen “loop.php” file to your child theme folder.
Open in the WordPress Dashboard: Appearance > Editor > loop.php

Search for:

<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
	<div class="entry-summary">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</div><!-- .entry-summary -->

Replace “the_excerpt” for “the_content”. Update file.

It should look like this:

<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
	<div class="entry-summary">
		<?php the_content(); ?>
	</div><!-- .entry-summary -->

That’s it.

I’m writing this here for future reference and for anyone that is as lost as I was in the forums. Holly fishsticks, it took me a while.

PS – This blog is currently on the TwentyEleven theme but PhotoDudette.com is on the TwentyTen.

I know you have to live under a rock not know this but I still feel the need to comment:
OMG, what great writing, producing and acting (and everything else)! Superb.

These are the bee’s knees!

Classic film noir from 1950. Amazing performance by Gloria Swanson. Very dramatic. I loved the way it starts, with Joe Gillis (William Holden) floating in the pool and narrating the movie. (I don’t consider this a spoiler since it’s the first scene after the initial credits but I blocked it anyway. Select the black line to read.)

I ordered my regular lenses prescription, they fucked up, I wrote several e-mails to them and they where less than comunicative. After several months they found my package in their warehouse and decided to pay me back by paypal like I sold them something, making me loose money to paypal fees. I didn’t even pay my order though paypal. They just took my e-mail and sent the money without telling me. A horrible, horrible experience. My advice is DO NOT BUY from Optica Iberica!

Meanwhile, yesterday I ordered another set of lenses from lenstore.co.uk and they gave me the following shipping date:

Expected shipping date: Today
Expected delivery date(s): Monday, 23rd April 2012 to Tuesday, 24th April 2012

Today I received this e-mail:

Dear Ms Francisco,

Thank you for your recent order.

I am sorry to report that there has been a slight delay in us receiving your prescription from xxxxx, and we are expecting your lenses to arrive here by Friday 20th April.

Please accept this 10% discount code to use with your next order: XXXXXX (valid to 18/04/2013)

If you are in a rush to get your lenses, I will be happy to upgrade you free of charge to Special Delivery, which is guaranteed to arrive with you by 1 pm the day after dispatch.

Please do let me know if this would be helpful to you.

Kind regards,
xxxx

The verdict is still out on the shop since the order is not yet completed but just for this e-mail I’m betting I’ll be a client for life. I’ll keep you posted.

PS – The problem is not if shit happens. Shit will happen. The problem is how you handle it.

[Edit - 24-04-2012:] Just got the package from lenstore.co.uk. It was right on time of their first estimate. What a great service!

PS II – Nobody payed me to say any of these things. I know no one in any of these stores. I’m just a regular customer making a review.
