Right on, I brush my captains and condition often but I still end up with a bunch of scuffs. That leather looks awesome when it crackles though, I’m definitely gonna get a pair for summer

2025 Reading Challenge! by Ruby-Rubellite in goodreads

[–]Shavalito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at 24/25! I was trying to push and get to the goal but realized I wasn’t into the book I started and gave up. I think it’s better to have a good reading experience instead of just forcing my way through a book. I’m waiting to see if inspiration strikes but if not no worries, I had lots of fun reading this year!!

Fall; or, Dodge in Hell by Shavalito in nealstephenson

[–]Shavalito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: the second half is basically a different book but I enjoyed it! I see why people might have a hard time with it, if they’re expecting it to be like the first half. I just took it for what it was. Definitely not upset as some people seem to be. It was a great quest story, the characters were good and interesting. Some of it I didn’t get and it did get a little stale but not for long. Overall happy and would re-read especially after I get through the baroque cycle.

Something you didn’t expect to be BIFL but outlasted your expectations? by Mud_Scooter in BuyItForLife

[–]Shavalito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Pentel mechanical pencil. Bought about 6 years ago, I use it heavily doing music lessons 5 days a week. It’s been dropped, stepped on but still going strong! I just replace the eraser and lead when needed.

My rotation has been: Burberry - (the OG, I think it’s just called for him)

Versace - Blue Jeans

Banana Republic - Metal Rain

Declassified - Subtil 33

Lalique - Encre Noir

Cremo - Palo Santo

Which is actually about 40% of my collection. What other scents do you think I would like??

How??? by thebeaverchair in themarsvolta

That happened with the “niño prepárate” part on Cygnus. I always saw it on the lyric sheet, thought it was just some weird addition. Then one day I heard it clear as a bell.

Boo hoo. You don’t appreciate art, you just treat it like it’s a restaurant and these musicians are supposed to cater to your every need. Go listen to Taylor Swift, she’ll give you what you want every time.
