Definitely need to do a Prometheus/Covenant rewatch soon

 

yeah covenant doesn’t seem to be streaming anywhere so I might have to rent it tonight.

 

Both great, Covenant whips so much ass

I will also go to bat for the first AVP

 

What did your cat think?

 

he was sleeping the entire time, I don’t think he was a fan.

 

This is a 3 year old post but I want to tell a story about the Accelerated Reading program

I moved around a lot in elementary school (like 6 times before 7th grade) and most of those schools did the AR thing. One of them in 5th grade that I attended for 3/4th of the school year didn't. So when I moved to a new school for the last quarter of the year, I took a tooooon of those AR tests for books I'd previously read and racked up over 500 points within a couple of weeks, and I got a ribbon and ice cream with the other kids in the 500 Points For The Whole Year club

 

I'm not gonna call you a nerd like others here might cuz I'm a bigger reader too.

Do you still read as an adult?

 

I wish I did. Every now and then something will grab me but it's like once or twice a year. And pretty much strictly non-fiction.

 

Last things I read were A Heart That Works by Rob Delaney & Boomtown by Sam Anderson. I've bought a few other books but haven't finished them.

 

Hey, wait a minute

 

Lol who’s alt is that??

 

I was wondering about that, but I also slept like shit so I thought I was tripping

 

hey

who you is?

 

I just started making an effort getting back into reading last year, it took awhile but now I’m reading the most (for fun) I have since college. Getting started again is the hardest part

 

Getting shit loads of chorus likes. Thanks @JoshIsMediocre

 

I wanted to see the origin of the thread! I got to like page 50 before work came up lol

 

Good thing I have a mostly chill job

 

when a weekly work meeting gets cancelled

 

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but our company did some restructuring and my toxic ass boss got let go. We’ve been ensured that no one else is getting let go so I’m safe and I’m just hoping that whatever following changes occur are for the better

 

this is the perfect place

congrats

 

I fuckin love reading. I have shelves and piles organized by author and I reread most of my books. People that come over take one look at my apartment and judge me, but whatever. It’s all manga, comics, and novels…I can’t get into nonfiction unless it’s someone I really like.

 

I love reading too and have a bunch of books which I am not looking forward to moving ugh lol But my new house is a cape cod so it has the big attic space and I'm turning half of it into a library/record room and I'm super excited about it! It has this "closet" but it is way too cute to be a closet. It has a little octagon-shaped window in it, and I'm def putting a chair in there and turning it into a reading nook.

 

Your place sounds great. Hope all of the stress you’ve been dealing with will be worth it!

 

my brother and sister in law have like 8 books shelves in their apartment. Literally every wall has a book shelve, I think it rules, screw whoever is judging you.

also I have like 30ish books I still need to read but I just go in cycles. Haven’t really read anything in a year or so but before that read like 6 books in a row.
