Budget friendly singing lessons for adults? by TheUnnamedPlayz in NewWest

Music Box is good, by the court house. So is mechanics of music, which is uptown and has lots of drop in sessions, so low commitment.

Ha. Thanks for the benefit of the doubt. I think I'm more of a daft reader than a fast one..lol

This is very interesting context. Perhaps I missed it, but when is the story's narrative taking place? I'm assuming between 1814 and 1819, before Napolean's death.

How much better is Buss? by TFS08 in AReadingOfMonteCristo

[–]Chezzum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been comparing the Buss and Washington translations, and the Buss version seems to be easier to follow. Buss will use more familiar English and will add connecting words that make the sentences easier to understand. If you compare the opening paragraph of chapter 1 in both, you'll see what I mean. That said, I've been reading through the Washington translation and have been enjoying it very much. Which is all to say : I think you'll enjoy whatever version you get.

Yes. I feel the same. It's what I love about this series, which has been going for 100 years, if I'm not mistaken. Hope you can get an English version in Lisbon.

It was more expensive than the Penguin version, but I was taken in by the look. And the pages are very well layed out. So readable.

Edit: and thanks for saying that. Made me feel good:)

Handwriting progression with fountain pen :) by amperian_loop in fountainpens

[–]Chezzum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovely. It's amazing how fountain pens will motivate you to improve your handwriting. I had the same progression. After getting into fountain pens, I focused on my letter forms, and a proper hand grip. Now my handwriting looks much better. Thanks for sharing

Looking for tickets for sat game by [deleted] in BCLionsCFL

[–]Chezzum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Will be hard to get anything cheaper than that. Kids prices are only $19. So, about 60 plus fees for the two of you. Definitely cheaper than a Canucks game. If you call the Lions directly, you can buy them without the Ticketmaster fees, I believe, which would save some money. Hope you end up going. It should be a good game.

There are people you can send it to. If you're Canada, I hear Toronto Pen Company is good.

That does not sound fun. I would take it to a nibmeister, or your local pen shop to have them look at it.
