[if this isn't allowed feel free to delete - i just figured someone here might have dealt with this same link]

I have no idea what a torrent is - or anything - so bare with me.

Might anyone be able to help me out?

I'm on a huge audiobook kick - and can't seem to find Stephen King's Desperation as an audiobook anywhere but here.

It says "Download this torrent!" Is that seriously just a file that is the Desperation audiobook? Is it safe to download that Vuze program mentioned right below?


Also - Stephen King audiobooks [even used CD's/Audible/whatever] are so damned expensive. Any suggestions for other places to get his audiobooks?
Thanks!

  • 11:08 @Jerem_Morrow True enough. Though a lack of dedication and hypocrisy can accompany failed attempts at reinvention. #
  • 11:13 @Jerem_Morrow Which is why I'll admit to a general distrust of those who reinvent themselves constantly. It shouldn't be undertaken lightly. #

So after missing work Wednesday thanks to my ER visit and Thursday thanks to some residual gross-feeling-ness and a bad migraine, I managed to make it through the day on Friday, making it a 24-hour week.

Of course, by the middle of the day Friday I was feeling crappy in an entirely different way than Tuesday night's stomach disaster and Thursday's migraine. Because it's the first week of November, which means I have to get a cold. I thought maybe I'd escape it this year; when I'm in school, I get wicked burned out the last week of October, and I was hoping the cold was a result of that. But no.

Because all the pictures of Kevin with ladies' shoes in Milan made me so happy, have 600 words of Kevin-is-a-crossdresser fic )

Supernatural = ♥

  • Nov. 7th, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Just watched this week's episode, and maaaaaan, I sure do love me some Supernatural! I simply worship their stupid sense of humor: not many tv series can get me laughing out loud within the first minute of the episode! The only other thing I can think of was Stargate SG-1, if the episode happened to start with one of Jack's wisecracks :D

Too bad there probably won't be any more episodes with the trickster (what? I didn't spoil anything. This comment could mean anything!), the episodes that had him in it were some of the best ever.

Anyway, made a shiny new icon, which I already added to my current userpics, but which is still up for grabs for everyone. I don't mind seeing it both in my own journal and on my f-list :)



I wanted to make some more animated ones, but I got kinda stuck because of all the LJ restrictions (max 100px, max 40kb,... bah!), and in the end I got distracted by the ones the fabulous [info]mata090680 already made over at her journal (which is were I nicked the ginormous sandwich one). Maybe I'll give iconising this episode another go some other time, because it's definitely a great source of material! :D

(I laughed like a total dork when I saw the tandem...)

Question

  • Nov. 7th, 2009 at 5:11 PM
do you think it's possible to spoil a newborn?

EDIT: in the way of how to respond to crying. Can you hold them too much? Should you just let them cry or immediately pick them up? things like that...

Best MacHeist bundle ever!
