CALIgula

some spoken word is cool though...there was a spoken word group at my college that used to put on free events the first tuesday of every month...it was cool...i was blown away by the short little nerdy asian girl when she spoke some real shit...i wasnt expecting it but she delivered. this guys spoken word is pretty dope:

e.t. was on tv today and i was reminded of 80s movies that involved aliens or spacecrafts or space...etc.... i remembered the movie "flight of the navigator"...i must of watched that 50 times as a kid. by the way....anyone remember the movie "space camp"?

dear republicans, FUCK YOU! <3 Caligula

yeah, its harder to get ebooks now without a torrent. library.nu was a dope website that had a huge database of books...this is what the owner of that site has to say now: http://library.nu/lnu.html ebookee.org is still around, but lacks a lot of books....every once in a while, you can pick up some obscure books on the /rs/ section of 4chan and search ".pdf" files. manybooks.net has mostly classical literature that is all i pretty much use. also, the /lit/ section of 4chan has some useful info as seen below: Recommended Reading: http://4chanlit.wikia.com/wiki/Recommended_Reading Find here a list of recommended reading compiled by /lit/ users, please refrain from posting topics asking for recommendations until after you have checked this link. It also contains a list of valuable links when looking for books, including 'must read' book lists and the Western Canon. Free Electronic Books (Ebooks) Try the following websites for access to free ebooks: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page http://library.nu http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks http://ebookee.com/ http://manybooks.net/ Another resource available is #bookz, check these links for more information! irc: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Bookz irc.undenet.org#bookz If the book is not found on one of these resources then it is unlikely a free e-book version of it exists, try a simple Google search before posting here. However it is unlikely a member of /lit/ will be able to help you if it is not listed on one of these resources. E-Readers: Searching for the perfect E-Reader? For you or as a gift?

However we will most likely not know the answer if it is not posted on the listed sites. Converting ebook file formats: Okay now you have your ebooks you might want to convert them to a more e-reader friendly format.

Any posters posting homework help threads will be dealt with. However discussing homework you have been given is allowed as long as it generates healthy discussion. But just asking for answers will result in a ban. /lit/ is NOT a fan-fiction board, please refrain from posting this. /lit/ ENCOURAGES you all to submit your own writings for critique, judgement and revision. if i ever do spend the money to get an ereader (or a tablet like the nook or the kindle fire), i will probably use the torrents method, but with all the b.s. theyve been pulling with the ereaders, im not ready to invest any time soon. (bullshit including the nook having 16GB but only 1GB for your own content and having to buy the rest through B&N...or Kindle Fire limiting you to only 8GB...or monthly cloud fees etc etc)

wow....how did i miss this thread?! i go to swap meets (flea markets) about once a month...sometimes a couple times a month. there is one in town thats pretty close to me called the folsom blvd flea market...you can pretty much find just about anything here..from the lucha librador masks to regular nintendos/games to porn to paint to pets....etc etc etc...its the one i usually go to on sundays just to people watch or see if i can find some diamond in the rough shit on the cheap...its super fucking hood though. then theres one thats a little bit further out in the next city over called the roseville denio's auction....this one has better selection on produce and is much much larger...you can find anything at this one...literally anything...but since its a bit far and costs money to park (the folsom blvd one is free parking and free entrance), i usually dont go to it too often. then theres one a couple towns away in the city of galt...ive only been to this one once but it was a good sized flea market...only thing that sucks (besides it being about an hour away) is that its only open on tuesdays and wednesdays...but i wouldnt mind going there on a day off to get some good elote and buy shit. that reminds me...i have to go back to the denio's auction to visit the hot sauce vendor...they have a lot of different hot sauces....also i should pick up some socks on the cheap if i go. as for estate sales/garage sales, i dont really go because a lot of the good shit gets bought up by 7am, and im not waking up that early to buy shit...most of the local antique shops around here are just run by people who buy cool shit at estate sales and mark them up a bit and resell them, so i'd have better luck going to the antique shops...matter of fact i saw a really nice balisong for sale at the last antique shop i was at..i should go back and pick it up sometime.

there are tons of people that will hone them.....they charge around $15 to $20. if you dont want to hone it yourself, i would definitely go with lynn abrams from straight razor designs/straight razor place link: http://www.straightrazordesigns.com/razor-sharpening/razor-sharpening-service i read somewhere that he has honed over 40,000 straight razors...dont know how accurate that is, but even 5,000 is a lot. *edit sorry...i came back and reread you posting about where to get stones and not honing services (chicken was in the oven so i read your post too fast)... same website sells stones for honing straight razors: http://www.straightrazordesigns.com/the-sharpening-center also, this site: http://thesuperiorshave.com/Coticules.html the woodcraft stores also sell stones: http://www.woodcraft.com/Category/1004026/Water-Stones.aspx a lot of straight edge razor users swear by the norton stones...you can pick up a 4k/8k combo stone as well as some finer grit stones.
