Hannibal is pretty good, yo.
I decided today - getting my eyes operated this autumn. My glasses broke today and new ones would be around 500 (normally I use contacts), so I already booked an examination at the best clinic in the country. Also my dad surprised me and he will cover 75% of all expenses.
The only time I can justify watching movies or TV is when I'm cuddled up with FK on the couch while doing it.
History is written by the victors A.Meat, so it is written, and so it was.

I just bought a new shirt. It's gray. It's also blue. But mostly gray.
I really can't remember the last book I finished. I tried to read the first game of thrones book but I just stopped after a couple days.

Like 48 hrs of reading? It's important to take breaks.

If books were cheap, I would be reading American Gods, Taronga, A Wizard of Earthsea, Post Office, A Storm of Swords: Steel and Snow, and that's just for starters.
But books are not cheap.

No libraries where you live?
Haha nah just an hour or two at a time. It's probably ironic that I don't really read books, but I work at a library.

That's exactly how I pose when I'm in business mode. My facial expression is similar when I'm doing my business.

In 20 years you're going to look like David Meunier.
I like to read under the covers, without the covers.
I have a lot less patience when it comes to watching tv. But this is the season to just sit back and relax with a good movie or series to watch imo.
500 euro?? What are your glasses made of?!?
No one should read American Gods though. It's not worth reading that mediocrity.
Libraries are what I assume to be heavens. Free books?! SIGN ME UP!
I will miss libraries when I leave the country. QQ
-9 on left eye and -8 with moderate astigmatism on the right. Add nice frame, thinned lenses to the max and you are near 500

Watch out for paper cuts. They're even worse on the tongue than the finger.
That's why you lick your fingers to make sure they're good and wet. If you're low on saliva, invest in a good reading lube.

I think it was you who mentioned the Mistborn series. I just want you to know that while I haven't read it yet, it's on my list and I will definitely be reading it this year.

That's too much responsibility YKN. Now if you hate it i'm on the line for it.
Instead you should blame/thank the person who got me to read it.
If you're o.k with that Squiddy say nothing.

I feel that way a little, but much more about video games. Unless I feel something is greatly affecting me emotionally or intellectually, it doesn't seem like time well spent.
Man, that's one badass look.

Flu can do that?
edit: The "turning into bronchitis" thing.. not the "sucking balls."

I was saving money like crazy for last two years - been wearing contacts for 12 years, eyes are getting tired, more and more issues are coming up like dry eyes... It will be around 3500-4000 , but this is something that I must do.
Already contacted new oculist (she is a part of eye surgery clinic) and they will send me a date for the appointment.

I love being sick though. Makes it easier to sleep, soups taste better, you feel less like yourself, cold water becomes amazing, chest feels heavy with sputum, you forget there's no more Colbert Report... gimme that sweet sweet flu.

You look like ScarJo from the poster for Under the Skin.
I bought the first four books of ASoIaF and made it about 300 pages into GoT before I said "fuck this" and sold the set to a friend.
Can't stand cold water when I'm sick. If I try to drink it, my sore throat gets worse. Shower with it, and it feels like someone with metal hands punched me in the chest.

They aren't vegan (cultures are grown in chicken eggs), so I'll pass. Besides, there are multiple strains each year so it's just a roll of the dice as to whether it'll do anything for you. But if it makes you feel safer, go for it.
Mine turned into pneumonia.
Does anyone know the cheapest route to get internet without using 56k? I was considering the offers from Netzero broadband and Dish Network but I'm really unsure (I'm living in the Mid-Atlantic area). I've been going to a local public library 3 times a week for free internet. I guess my budget is 30-40 bucks a month for service but that'll probably get me nowhere lol. Any advice would be appreciated.

Same here. Gotta go doctors just in case.

I'm not militant about it; we all have our own lines we draw. If my life was in danger, I'd step up to whatever flavor. But my immune system is strong enough that I rarely get the flu. It sounds like there's a vaccine in trial created from insect cells, which is interesting. I can already see a Sci-Fi channel B movie with this premise. Hopefully eventually they'll be able to build vaccines from artificial biology.
