BetterWorldBooks.com: you buy new and used books from them and in turn you're helping them fund literacy initiatives all over the world. They offer free shipping within the US; about $4 worldwide [per book, which is still REALLY cheap for me]. They also accept Paypal, which is a huge plus for me as well.

And the whole thing seems to be ran by real ( Read more... )

Hey, hello you! ;)

Adorei a mensagem que vc recebeu do seu livro. A proposta da loja virtual é fantástica e eles têm quase de tudo, pelo que pesquisei por lá. ;)

Ah, estou assistindo TTSCC também. Estou já atualizada.

Mas, não assisto aos dois seriados (BSG + TTSCC) no mesmo dia ou pelo menos seguidos... achei mais prudente. ;p

Ois. :)

As únicas coisas que eu procurei e não achei no BWB foram livros que estão esgotados no mundo real e eles não tem nem usados. O resto, achei tudo que me interessa. Tô esperando pra ver se o livro que eu comprei chega direitinho, daí com certeza vou comprar mais!

Agora que minha internet tá ráaaapida: como T:TSCC aparece 2 horas antes de BSG, eu assisto a T:TSCC e daí vejo uma besteira qquer, porque é o tempo do torrent de BSG aparecer/downloadar. *g*

Bem, eu baixo os dois no sábado de manhã, porque vc sabe, né? :)

Então eu vejo um, faço alguma coisa fora de casa e mais tarde vejo o outro.

Ah, finalmente consegui comprar SG-1 S7 baratinho no Submarino naqueles leve 3 pague 2. Yay! Comprei SGA S4 também e Bones S1. :)

TODAS as vezes que eu demorei pra ver BSG eu fui spoileada, então eu tô tentando ver o mais rápido possível.

Eu vi que o Submarino tá fazendo promoção, mas ainda não comprei nada. Tem uns trecos que eu quero, mas eu odeio o fato de que o Submarino não me deixa dividir em trocentas vezes.

Can I tell you how much I love GK and Brad Colbert? SO MUCH. I didn't like True Blood but I have the same reaction as you when thinking about missing an opportunity to lay eyes on Alexander Skarsgard some more. Everyone and THEIR MOTHER should watch GK like yesterday.

I'm actually stalling to watch he last GK episode because I don't want it to end OMFG! Hee.

And it's funny because I pretty much DISAGREE with everything Brad is/thinks/represents AND YET I love him to tiny little pieces.

The last episode of True Blood I watched was the first one Alexander Skarsgård appeared, so at least he's gonna be around more if I continue to watch? I *really* hated the show A LOT though. *g*

As for GK, I can already see myself rewatching a whole bunch of times. Oh yes.

Oh, watching it on YouTube is a great idea, thank you. I think I'm gonna try that.

I just finished watching the last GK episode and I'm definitely gonna re-watch asap, oh yes. Especially now that I actually know who's who even when they have helmets and masks on and shit. :)

OMFG THIS SERIES IS AWESOME

I am so proud.

But seriously, isn't it the best thing since bread came sliced? IT IS! And I find it funny that we had generally the same reaction to it, but regarding different characters - I love Brad, but my love for Nate was instant and unstoppable ohmygodYES.

I say after you finish it we make a GK session focusing on these two - except that I tried to do that before and ended up watching the whole thing again. And it still didn't give my brain back! At least now I can fangirl about it with someone else, I was getting frustrated not being able to squee about it.

JUJU I MADE A BRAD ICON AND EVERYTHING OMFG FIRST ICON SINCE NOVEMBER. *points* and *flails*

And I still have the last episode to watch but I'm totally stalling because there is no more. Woe.

Now, for the part you won't care much about: so, I like Nate, but... that's about it. [Sorry? I'm trying to see his things from his POV but so far it's not happening at all.] And so far the slash hasn't grabbed me [tho I see the text/subtext as it is right there and well, I have EYES], probably because right now I 'ship Brad WITH ME omfg I'm in love with a stupid marine I morally/socially/culturally disagree with ABOUT EVERYTHING with every fiber of my being. Hee.

Dude, you can totally go ahead and watch the last episode, because as soon as it ends you'll just want to watch it again. I'm assured of this.

Also, no need to apologize AT ALL - Nate is MY crush, I'm glad I don't have to share him. Ah, Nate! So pretty!

Also, also, it took me a while cave in to the slash too (it most definitely didn't happen in the first time I watched) - and it was something I chose to, to be honest. As you said, there *is* plenty text and subtext, but it happened mostly because I really wanted to read fics, and there's only slash fics around, I'm afraid. And also because probably for the first time in my life I found myself reading slash and actually liking it, which never happened before. But then again, it works for me. Maybe it doesn't for you.

Also, also, just because we both didn't mention him (and ohmygod, how could we not mention him?): isn't Ray Ray an utterly irresistible jackass? He wins us by tiring us, trufax.

*stares at your pretty icon*

Oh, I'm definitely re-watching, of that I have no doubt.

ALSO: DUDE. RAY. I LOVE RAY. Like, the mega-crush on Brad is one thing, but truth is? I'm pretty sure Ray is my favorite character? 'Cause he SO TOTALLY IS it's not even funny.

And I just finished watching the last episode and he was so subdued and SAD and then his last scene with Brad with the coffee cups made me CRY SO HARD I'm still sniffling OMG OMG, OH, RAY.

Hello! Saw your post via friendsfriends and wanted to thank you for the link to BetterWorldBooks. I'd planned to buy books this weekend anyway, and I ended up buying from them instead of Amazon. What a neat company! :)
