Haha, maybe. I'm still searching for people in real life who like the same books I do.
When they mentioned they like fantasy I was like 'yay, maybe I can recommend Malazan'. I didn't, after the ToG discussion^^

Also, this reminds me I still want to read Clockwork Orange.

It's fun to imagine how far they'd manage to read Malazan before throwing it down and giving you weird looks, tho :)

Yeah, but English isn't my mother tongue :)
I don't think we've got a similar phrase in France...

I only read the first book, but no.

Open spoiler if you really don't care: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah, I alread..."

I even read the first 3 book, because I've got the audiobooks for free :D I read the first with friends and it was ok... I guess all the discussion made me like it a little more. I still agree with what Jenna and Iain said. And for me the series became even worse.
There's not much worldbuilding, not much action either and a lot of angst and love drama... I actually don't mind a story with low action, if the characters are great... But for me they weren't, they are all very similar and of course they are all so damn beautiful and sexy and strong and again oh so sexy... Urgh!

Yes :) This morning I thought it was nice to have an extra hour of sleep and remembered that we already talked about it in march

I work through the time changes... we have to be careful about when we take our lunches, because the time changing causes problems with the time clock...

I feel left out. In the US the clocks don't change till next weekend. Another way the US HAS to be different 🙄

It's all Bush's fault... he changed the DST dates 10-15 years ago... we still have 2 more weeks until the clocks change...

[Virginie]

I once did a cruise on the Baltic Sea the week-end of the time change. So I visited 3 cities in 3 days, each in a different timezone. My friends and I were warned that the boat would depart on time, with or without us. But it was local time. Which changed every day. It was so confusing...

We almost ended up stranded in St. Petersburg because of that xD

Something that confusing better have a phone app, I'd say...

I'm all for getting rid of daylight savings time. You have idiots out there though petitioning for daylight savings time nationwide....

Are you sure about that? Internet says Nov 4. Next weekend.

I'm with you. We are no longer a nation of farmers who need to be out in the fields sun up to sun down. In modern times there's no reason for it. Even farmers have modern machinery which make harvesting easier and faster.

End Day Light Savings

[Ahdam]

Frankly I've never really bothered to look into DST (I didn't even know that it was called that until now) or why it happens hell I don't even notice it happen

Maybe it's my absolute hatred for maths and time or I'm just proudly ignorant of the fact (the American way) so I'm indifferent about this

I love living in a country with no daylight savings time after having so many instances of being really late or really early after forgetting to switch the clock back home. The only thing is it's very difficult to get up in the morning.

You're probably right... I think we're 2 weeks early in March and 1 week late in October/November...

I have had similar experiences when I spoke about Sci-fi with people. They recommended books that are "the best sci-fi they've ever come across", which most times ends up being just a romance set in space....

Hey Yanique, have you read Mated to the Cyborgs? It's, like, the BEST sci-fi ever! I think you'd really love it :)

I gave you a serious side-eye for making fun o0f me at first... but then I checked out the book and now I'm going to thank you for that laugh, because wow... just wow.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I love how all they did to make the men "cyborgs" on the cover was add a bit of silver paint to their arms, like a tattoo...

Some days I wouldn’t mind being the girl on the cover

Ahdam the Camera Man here )I've decided to call myself that) so after a week of editing and uni work I managed to film and photograph the talk my sister had organised and I'm quite happy how it turned out since you could consider this my first ever corporate shoot which is good for me since I get some juicy experience

Here is the video it's only 2 minutes long and maybe interesting for the chemistry, medicine folks here

I was looking for a new avatar image, and struck on the idea of a Gingerbread Assassin, kind of holiday themed and hoodie themed... not much available for that idea tho...

I DID stumble onto this terribad horror movie / cover tho:

The tagline of course should be - "Just when you thought Gary Busey couldn't be more of nut than he already is"

[Shae]

Haha, that is terribad! Great word combo by the way :-)

[Ahdam]

Wow that is bad kind of reminds me of the silent night deadly night films with a serial killer Santa which had given us one of the best scene in movie history

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I finally watched Tucker and Dale vs Evil yesterday... I've been meaning to for years, then it popped up on Netflix and I couldn't miss the opportunity...

I didn't realize it was horror comedy... which is actually about the only horror I watch (loved Cabin in the Woods)... I've seen some gif clips in the past, and really like Alan Tudyk's work...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I thought of looking for Gingerbread spies and Gingerbread undercover, since assassin was a fail... Google assumed I was looking for Gingerbread underwear... I couldn't resist checking it out... the results were a bit scarring, lol... seems to be a mostly male fashion choice...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Finally settles on a more generic Santa Assassin... almost anything with Assassin in the name tends to turn up Assassin's Creed fanart... didn't want to choose anything too copyright-y... main reason I didn't use that DVD cover... I kinda liked this other image I saw, as well:

[Shae]

Badass Santa! Very appropriate for the coming Christmas Season :-)

[Virginie]

I stumbled upon this short story while creating links for One Story a Day. I have to admit, I love the illustration ;)

[Bea]

Santa Warrior!

Sometimes I'm too lazy for my own good... I woke up at 6:30pm, which is quite early for me, and pulled up my voting location online... there's one at the church basically across the street from my apartment... within eyesight, and I almost missed the voting deadline... this is on top of available early voting locations for the last 6 weeks... that's what I did last time, at the municipal building...

At least I should stop getting inundated with political ad postcards for awhile, now...

We got a political postcard from a Republican Pac that endorsed the green candidate as an attempt to sway votes from the Democrat. You had to look really closely to see who sent the thing. Interesting to be in a tight congressional race for a change.

[Diana Stormblessed]

I voted at 6:30am, before work. Good thing I didn't wait until after work as on my way home someone rear ended my brand new car on the highway and then just took off. I would have missed the polls if I had waited.
