Nice job, Mimi!
Your English is good, some small issues on occasion with grammer, but nothing major. I enjoyed it. I liked your narrative style. I like how the scene in the crow's nest would require a lot of non-verbal communication; both Baker and Tunney are good at achieving. It was a nice mix of agápe, philia, storgē with éros remaining unspoken but keenly present. You should be chuffed, my dear.

mimi! I tried to open your file, but it always gives me the error sign. Hmm, got to ask my comuper-savvy friend. I hope, I'll figuere it out!
Yeah, his eyes do change - but so do mine, it depends what I wear. Anger or sadness (tears specially) make my usually grey-blue eyes very blue! My husband is sooo totally aware of this, it's not even funny anymore LOL.

well if you read it I'd love for a feedback, critics to what you think they would have said/done or not. I hesitated at the end, you'll see why. the purpose was to actually "get" the characters and being able to reproduce sthg with them.

He does have a nice profile, rather regal (and cheeky with his tongue out), Mimi.
I'll give your writing a read.

I do, Mimi. They remind me of my family's eyes.
Eye color is really perceived by us as individuals. It is probably safe to safe he has what science would describe as very light-mixed (blue with gray or green or green with gray) eyes, hence their ability to appear different colors at times. If I remember the science right it is caused by the color beneath the iris in the stroma. Without a stitch on in front of a white wall (or sheet) they likely come across as a greenish shade to he and his beloved.

hey KM! don't you love his eyes! he says they're green but I guess it depends on the light.. I was thinking he really has a lovely profile!

Cute link, Mimi!
Love his eyes in the snap in the grey suit with his glasses. I forget which gene it is that gives chameleon blue eyes, as opposed to the other gene for blue eyes. I should know it. My partner and kiddos have them; sometimes blue, sometimes green, sometimes grey, smetimes amber-ish depending on lighting and back ground color (especially attire). Le sigh, mine are not heavenly fashion accessories. Dark green is nice, though.

Morning all!
Re hypnosis I think that Jane hypnotized the teenage girl of the "bad kids" in "Something Rotton in Redmund" (4*20). I'm guessing that Lorelei's mind would not be open to it and that she would be wise to any attempts.

About Jane being Red John. I don't think so but the comments on if he was did make me pause twice when Jane said in the promo "people kill family members all of the time".

Mimi - awesome link! Just spent 1/2hour on it! Can't wait for your story. And let me assure you: I think your english skills are way better than mine anyways, so don't let that stop you from posting it! :-) Good thing you are way better with computers than me too, I wouldn't even know how to post something! OK, gotta go do something - GOSH, you guys keep me on this stupid machine all day LOL! Later....

so bonaduz bear with me for the text, I'll soon upload it and put the link on here. I'm proofreading it. my problem is that I'm never satisfied with it and change things all the time but as you're not an english speaker either you won't be as critical about my english skills lol

@mimi: setting things strait: I am Swiss, but live in western Canada. So I can watch the show 4 times, because we're 4 hours behind atlantic Canada. Yes, it's a little bigger than Belgium or Switzerland LOL! I'll be in CH this summer, so who knows - he might be in Paris for a Longines add or something? Let's go chase him down together!!!
mimi
February 13th, 2013 12:17 PM
Bonaduz you don't live in Siwtzerland right? you said good morning, here it's 6.15 pm and I remember reading you lived in Canada but I'm confused now..so that's why you can watch the show, I guess you live in Canada.
mimi
February 13th, 2013 12:11 PM
it would be nice to meet him but he lives so far away.. unless he visits my country, you never know.. or I drive to Paris to meet him, actually it's not that far but I don't want to have to chase him around the city lol.

February 13th, 2013 12:09 PM
Bonaduz, how can you watch it?? you have the channel at home? I always have to wait until someone upload it somewhere.. and I get crazy and look everywhere for links that don't work lol.
I have dreamt of Jane a few times, it was good and once about Cho, that we were dating LOL that's funny.

Entwife! Quit bugging us with your Mentalist cup!! (ahhh, just jealous :-) Thank you for the link. It's really cute. Hey who knows, maybe one day one of us will just bump into him somewhere on a beach or in a city? That would be kinda cool, eh?
@mimi: good morning! Sorry you didn't dream of Jane! I didn't either LOL!
I agree with you, that he wouldn't try hypnosis on Lorelei. But it's true, he doesn't do it at all anymore - the whole vibe of the show changed a bit in my eyes. Wonder where they're going with it. Next epi should be fun! Have to get the kids to bed early (it's on at 7.00 pm on CTV already - and if my husband lets me I can watch it again at 9.00pm and at 10.00pm :-)

@Mimi I agree, the cup is too small, that's why I use it with my espresso machine. Really best for a double, not a cappuccino, I use that generically, sorry. However, the manufacturer does make a jumbo cup and saucer in peacock. I ordered that too, it's quite jumbo and heavy, but not quite the same, the handle especially is quite different. Oh well. I like jumbo too, and have a little collection of different patterns. The term "jumbo" covers quite an unexpected range of sizes I've learned!
