Bill Burr's new show on Netflix, which is named F is for Family is fantastic. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

I'm not big on audiobooks, but Amazon offered the Audible version of the Martian for cheap a while back because I already owned the Kindle version. It is a fantastic performance of the book.

So, I gotta say that Gardens of the Moon, the first book of the Malazan Book of the Fallen was sweet. I'm on Deadhouse Gates, the second one now.

I'm really digging this storyline. If anyone's looking for something similar to GoT or anything, so far this series has impressed me.

Stephen Fry is the closet homosexual TV guy from V for Vendetta, he also voices "Lord Stag" in "Lily's Driftwood Bay" (which is a good pre-school cartoon). Dude does a bit of everything.

Is he the one that did the original audio books way back when? If so, he's GREAT.

Book 4 was my favorite, then the movie disappointed me. I wish they would release a mini movie of the world cup. I was so excited for that, then it was cut out as soon as the game started.

I started up the Harry Potter series again. I'm in the same boat as you, Robo. I stopped at book 4 around the time it was new and never tried again. I tell you, I used to be a BIG HP fan when I was younger. Rereading the book is taking me back.

It's also a super weird thing to read directly after A Clockwork Orange...

I plan to do the Harry Potter audiobooks at some point. I stopped reading them when I started the fifth book. Never went back to finish them.

It's actually a pretty important part of history that a lot of people today forget. Less than 100 years ago, a bunch of blue-collar workers armed with pistols, rifles, and shotguns basically took over half of an entire state, commandeering trains, automobiles, and entire towns, and likely would have defeated the national guard, state police, and federal forces if they had been more coordinated with a single, solidifying leader.


I guess they were more organized than the group taking over a wildlife refuge?

Just read Clockwork Orange. Hoo whee. That one was a wild ride. Movie did a great job from what I remember. Been a while since I've seen it, though.

I finished listening to The Martian audiobook. It was great. Interesting to see the differences between the movie and the book. The endings are different. The narrator did really well.

I found The Hobbit audiobook today. Will start that tonight. I'm glad the library has a lot of audiobooks.

I find reading to be too static? I have a hard time reading and not start thinking of other things, then realizing I don't know what I just read. Being able to drive, work on other things, doing puzzles, or cleaning and lubing the paintball gear while listening to a book really helps me keep attention to the book. I was curious how I would react to listening to the book because listening to the priest at church also makes me start thinking of other things.

Wife bought me "What If?" By Randall Munroe (xkcd) for Christmas.

Fantastic read, absolutely hilarious.

He's actually got two. See the second e-bolt "in the bright" sitting outside of the second M98 towards the top right?

I've got one as well, but the old board was effed up and stuck on "reactive" mode. I did the DMLCD mod with it and it works, but I'm actually looking to swap that board out for a DM4 board now that they're easy enough (and cheap enough) to come by. Just need a new set of clamshells, a double trigger, and the board and a QEV for the back end to allow faster operation.


Dang... TWO!

I saw one on local craigslist for $40... Looked brand new, I called and it was gone already. 

It would be fun to mess with one!

If you like fantasy, I really enjoyed the Dragon Prince/Dragon Star series (serii?) by Melanie Rawn.
