that sounds like a great book! i'm gonna check it out. thanks!

is it like the movie? i have a vague memory of some movie. i think it was retired sherlock holmes. and i think there were some bees? but it was a young boy, not a girl.

I don't think there's been a movie, but I don't know for sure. The book is being re-released for its 20 year anniversary, so it's not exactly new, just new to me, and I think it's technically considered YA, but I don't care.

Umm Filthy, I don't get you.

And you know full well that the opinion that you posted is controversial and is solely there to get reactions.

i know it's a controversial opinion, and i thought it might get reactions like that. but i genuinely think that show band of brothers sucks from what i remember of it. i'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks that. but i'll probably try to watch it again at some point.

Mystery flavor Oreo's were released last week. Guess the flavor, win $50,000.

What’s inside the new Mystery Oreo cookie?

I'm sadly a sucker for these type of promo's. However, I finished shopping just hours before reading the news.

I made a resolution to read a book a month this year. I made it halfway through The Road in January and haven’t read a word of anything literary since.

So following Trump on Twitter doesn't count?

blood meridian is an amazing book. i haven't been able to make it through it though. but it's kind of like when you are knocked over by wave and held underwater and tossed around down there.

i've listened to the first half several times

My resolution was to read more. I've read considerably less, in fact almost nothing.

I've finished the video puzzle game Talo's Principle some time ago. I solved all the puzzles and found all the stars in the game.

Well last week I bought the DLC for the game. I'm stuck trying to complete the very 1st puzzle. Damn.

Unpopular opinion: the road is junk.

Also filthy - would be interested in reading your reviews about BoB. Probs my favourite miniseries ever so maybe I am looking at it in the wrong light...

I'm currently reading the autobiography of Edward Thorp, the guy who invented card counting.

It's a bit overly self-congratulatory (kinda reminds me of Feynman's writing in that way) but still very interesting.

i won the badbeat jackpot. really miserable experience. i had 66. flop 966hh. all in three way. the pot was bigger than the jackpot. so i lost money and then had to wait around 2 hours to get paid. i just wanted to go home. and everyone in the casino was pointing at me, some rough customers. i was def worried about getting robbed. and on top of it i had to tip everyone hella money because i won the ****ing jackpot. ****. so tilted right now.
