A new bicycle rack for my DRZ. It was cold the day I got it, plus we were in the midst of a Mad Men binge on netflix, so I got to install it in the living room.

Grabbed Skyrim : Legendary Edition off steam for about 13.50.

I can't run it yet, but my plans eventually include buying a gaming pc, and then I will crank the gently caress out of the settings and spend hours upon hours running around doing skyrim poo poo in a virtual world.

I don't know about the US but in Belgium and France it is customary for the comic artists to spend 5 minutes or even more for signing books. Sometimes the colorist is even there for the final touch.

Just got this last week for example. The guy was signing like 4 books per hour.

It was 15 minutes, and half of it was general chit chat and buying him a beer, and the rest, him drawing.

Also the dude is 70 years old.

Once a year I get to spend a big wedge of my company's money on books that interest me have a bearing on a course that I teach. Last week, the first half of my delivery arrived. Of course, as I'd ordered them 10 months ago, I'd forgotten what I'd ordered (and one or two of the books, I really have no idea why I ordered them.) Felt like Christmas.

If you can't find anything interesting here, you're not trying!











(Ugh, maybe I should have ordered a new phone/camera... :negative:)

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
That there is a pretty awesome haul of books.

The few reviews I've read say that it has a matte plastic on the handle that make it much more comfortable than it would seem.

Do you know the diameter of the screw you're using?

If so, drill the fucker out. Drill the head off, then once you have what it's securing out of the way, use pliers and twist it out.
