  • I wear a kilt. It really is more comfortable than pants.

    I actually remember seeing a blog post, too, showing a fashion line of skirts for men. Not for cross dressers either (but no judgement if that's you). It was marketed as a style that still made the men appear masculine. I forget the brand name, but I was intrigued.

  • I can see that. I can't say I despised it, but I was a little disappointed. What didn't you like?

    For me, I thought Denis Villeneuve could have added more emotional weight to the story. Overall I liked the movie. If I see it in a DVD bin I'll probably pick it up, but I'm not going out of my way to watch Part 1 again.

  • I'm looking forward to it.

    I admit I was a tad disappointed with the 1st Dune movie. It wasn't bad by any means, but I felt Denis Villeneuve didn't quit communicate Paul's plight enough, and, as much as I like Zendaya as an actress, I don't think she was the best choice for Chani.

    Then again, I realize Dune is a difficult book to adapt to a movie.

    But I've enjoyed other work by Denis Villenueuve so I'm suspecting Part 1 was just a setup for Part 2 and the 2 parts together make a satisfactory story.

  • Good suggestions! Yeah, I'm one of those folks that likes nuance, so anything that science fiction-y is totally fine. One thing I like to read (and write, since I also write short stories) is exploration of the fantastical. Something out of the ordinary to give a different perspective on the human experience.

  • I'm not against libraries. It's just that I prefer reading physical books. But with a library it's a lot of stress to remember the due date (although I usually finish books long before the due date), and it does make me slightly uncomfortable that the library keeps a record of every book read (I'm sure it sounds paranoid, but I also know on here I'm in good company. lol). While my reading material isn't anything noteworthy it just makes me uncomfortable.

    So I prefer raiding Good Will or bargain book stores for secondhand books. No due date, no record that I bought it (since I pay in cash, although I'm sure if you're really desperate you can look at security cam footage when I bought the books and cross-reference). But since I can't afford that I figured I could make do with digital books until I can afford to buy books again.
