Help
I got my sister to pick up The Mirror Empire. Usually she reads paranormal romance which is fine but I hope this books kickstarts a interest in both epic fantasy and interest in feminist fiction (though not say some paranormal romance isn't, I don't read much, but I doubt the stuff she reads is).
Whats making you happy right now

I just saw that Assail and Crack'd Pot Trail were delivered to my house. So they are waiting for me when I get home. 
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

NZ elections are over. Regardless of the result, this at least means I no longer have to listen to our elected representatives talking over each other like children in various debates, and it will no longer feel like anyone is studiously trying to avoid the topic of elections at work. Woo!

Now you have to deal with them governing your country like a bunch of children govern their sandbox.

So, "business as usual", as far as all politicians go, then?

Pessimistic much? Or maybe just realistic...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

lost 4kg thus far (in my aim to get a 6 pack lol, cliche I know, but I always wanted one, (not of beer either) and I WILL get one) and to aid in this my Bowflex 1090s arrived on Friday. My gym is looking sick, got a new Bowflex 5.1 bench to match, as I am 6'3" and my current bench isnt made for a human my height apparently. Gonna be smashing the weights now, lets get huge and lean. YES!

I just bid over $ 400 000,- for an apartment. I'm sitting here staring at my phone waiting to see if someone will put up a higher bid. I have no idea whether I'm excited or terrified.

Probably both.
But if you're still excited even after buying it, you made a good choice.

Holy hell, that's a shitload of money there. Is it a house or something? Fingers crossed.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.

No new bids yet. But I set the time limit at at 12, so there's still plenty of time for others to out bid.
@Gothos, it's an Apartment in the city center. Third floor with a veranda and Direct view of the park. It's literally on the edge of a big park.

ah well. Overbid by almost another hundred thousand. I guess I was right it had been priced too low.
