The best part about the whole purchase is that the sales guy wanted me to pick 3 colours in case my first choice wasn't available. But I was like "Uh, black, black, or black." Then he gave the specs to the finance guy, came back and said that it was my lucky day - there happened to be ONE of what I wanted just unloaded off a boat on the East coast, and the finance guy was working on getting it for me. I figured it was total bullshit sales tactics....but when I went to sign the bill of sale the finance guy actually showed me the shipping info/whatever online. Literally just got off the boat, lol.
So yeah, super good timing.

I've always spent quite a lot of money on books, but like I mentioned earlier, the price of some of them were downright prohibitive. Websites such as Library.nu are a blessing to those of us in the developing world: It's no accident I learnt about its existence both from a Malaysian researcher and another Brazilian grad student. There are loads of rare books, now out of print, that I couldn't find anywhere but there.
I'm as optimistic as I was when they shut AudioGalaxy down. It was awesome, but it was just a matter of time until something even better avenged its death.

This makes a whole different impression when you read it stand-alone, without knowing it's about a car.

There are two water fountains next to each other at the gym I go to. One is eight inches higher than the other. I was filling my water bottle at the higher one when a guy walked up behind me and waited to use it. I kept looking at the other one thinking "Dude, just use that one". No. He waited the 45 seconds it took to fill my water bottle. Apparently it would be an act of submission to use the water fountain that's slightly lower. People's eggshell-fragile egos seriously crack me up sometimes.

And don't worry, the moment they spot your blondness, they'll instantly speak Engrish. Even if you don't understand, at least you'll have some fun

Haha, no, no, I got it off Audible (which makes me wish I had pirated it).
Besides, there were no audiobooks on that site. By the way, I think you'd like to read "Price and Prejudice and Zombies"

What? You were making all that fuss over learning French?? French is pretty easy, imo. You'll be fine.
Although to be fair, I grew up learning it...but still. It's easy. You'll be fine.
