Malcador Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Wish I had more books, I just have a cluttered shelf. Guess I started collecting only when I left University, up to that point, it was all about the public library Why has elegance found so little following?

Raithe Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Wish I had more books, I just have a cluttered shelf. Guess I started collecting only when I left University, up to that point, it was all about the public library See, my parents got me into reading when they gave me Enid Blyton books when I was around 5. Since then.. I've just collected a steady growth. Last time I took a full count (not including rpg books or comics/graphic novels) I had just under 6,000. That was about hm. 3 or 4 years ago.

Hurlshort Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I worked as a security guard in college for awhile and was reading a few paperbacks a week it seemed. That really helped pass the time in between fighting mummies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Very nice, Malcador. Wish I had an outdoor view like that from somewhere indoors. “Things are as they are.

mkreku Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Oohh, a photo thread! Then I can finally show off some of my finest work! I took this one night when I was strolling around in the bushes outside a dormhouse and saw a window that had NOT adhered to the warnings about a crazy stalker strolling around in their bushes at night. I aimed my zoomed in camera carefully and managed to get this incredibly sharp and morally perfected picture at first try. With one hand! Semi-running!! I am very proud of myself. It's actually my apartment and my Ukrainian friend.. I wanted to show her that she must remember to close the blinders because this is what it looks like from the street. And I actually got a real stalker because of her already! No joke! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'm not a dude, but even I'll say that looks like one cute, uh, friend. One of my dogs (well sister's dogs, but whatever) unhappily showing his support I really have way too many photos of these dogs. As long as a cat didn't see him wearing it, he's probably ok with wearing the doggie sweater. But if a cat saw him, he may never recover. “Things are as they are.

Hiro Protagonist Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I was in China last month playing around with my camera making weird pictures by capturing people as block characters. The photos haven't been photoshopped or manipulated in anyway. It's just one photo being taken while I do a vertical panoramic shot. The background is okay but the people at the front turn into block characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Yes, why can't he be normal and go over the same circular piracy discussion every month, instead?! Fittingly referring to periodic episodes. Points for it being random though. Not a sweater, it's a scarf I just tossed on him. They did buy them these sweaters to wear in winter, naturally being women my mother and sister decided that plain colours would be boring and got them zebra striped ones, tartan ones, etc. Edited May 3, 2012 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

mkreku Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yes, I've completely stopped taking nature shots. Sunsets? Pffft. Seen it already. Normal day attire. She calls them shorts. Yes. Shorts. I can't believe I actually have to explain this for the mentally challenged, but the mail order bride thing is a joke. She's the daughter of one of my older coworkers. Me and him have a patent together and she was my translator because his English is not as good, thus we became very good friends. She calls herself "my Russian prostitute". It's also a joke.
