Mestiv

So, I want to buy a new phone. I checked yesterday evening online that it is available near my workplace for 2400zł. Cool, that's one of better deals for this phone in Warsaw. Today I take a break from work, go to this shop, and see what? The price changed to 2999zł overnight And that's just stupid. I'm talking about Galaxy S6 (not Edge) with 32Gb of memory. It is currently more expensive than S6 Edge with 32Gb... They jumped from one of lowest prices for that model to outright highest. Now I had to order the phone somewhere else and I'll get it tomorrow I hoped I can play with it this evening but nooo... that would be too good :/

Sounds like fun Man, I didn't suspect that so many people have problems with their nails...

Oh, right I remember those too... However, I had pieces of grown in nails removed without the anesthetic too and I think I prefer the needles Anyway, my advice: buy shoes that are comfortable and that let you wiggle your toes freely. That should reduce the risk of the nails growing in again.

Oh my, you have my sympathies. I've been fighting with ingrowing nails in my toes for 6 years now. No matter how much the doctors remove, they still find a way to grow wrong :/ I even had pieces of the thing that creates the nail removed, and still I have to go to see podologist from time to time :/ fortunately in my case, despite there is blood and other nasty things, they don't hurt that much, I don't know why. Why don't you ask for anesthetic when you'll have it remove?

Nope, as long as she won't haunt him in his nightmares so, how do those voidstormers lenses work? :> Never mind, I found them in the books

I sense cat blood in him, judging by where and how he placed himself Anyway, I'm happy for you and your new friend ^^

That would be Europa with all the ice and liquid water underneath. Io is much less pleasant place with strong volcanic activity and a lot of sulfur on the surface.

Now, I've written the introduction of Julia Verana Two more of my characters left, to introduce... And I can't wait to see you guys join in

The speedometer displayed 250km/h as Julia Verana slipped between two cars on her motorcycle. There was nothing she enjoyed more than the feeling of freedom she got from going that fast, feeling the air resisting her and her machine. The thrill of going so fast, that even the smallest mistake would mean certain death even for her - a Dark Oculator. Other members of her order found joy in torturing or controlling others, but she never understood it. What’s the point of being in control if you’re not free yourself? She was closing in on her destination, a city where the source of oculatory light was placed. She could see the bright point all the time with her Dual Lenses - her own invention, a pair of glasses with one Oculator’s Lens and one Warrior’s Lens. With the special construction of the frame, she could freely combine two different kinds of Lenses if she found it necessary. The current combination allowed her to use the heightened reflex and dexterity thanks to the Warrior’s Lens and to keep an eye on her target. Couple of hours ago she had contacted the main Library of the town she was headed to and informed about her arrival. This local branch was, up to this point, absolutely insignificant. It was run by the Wardens of the Standard, that were keeping an eye on local information distribution and weren’t doing much beside it. It was one of the dullest places there could be, but now things were about to change. While approaching the city Julia begun to scan the city and the air above it for any silimatic technology. It was obvious that there will be interference from the Free Kingdom’s agents. Nothing like the appearance of this oculatory light source has happened for decades, the other side will investigate, no doubt about it. And that means, there will be Smedries… She stopped her thoughts. It wasn’t time or place to think about them, not after the incident on Antarctica. Focus on the objective, get there and investigate, she told herself as she arrived in front of a nasty looking, neglected building of a library. The building didn’t have any oculatory aura, there was no point in using Expander’s or any other kind of Glass. She parked her bike in the front, near the entry and remembered the name of the local Head Librarian. She entered the building with her library card prepared. Without any introductions she gave it to the teenage boy at the reception desk. “Take me to your supervisor. Now.” she demanded, while the poor clerk stood there gaping. Just like she wanted. “Eee… Ekhm… Yes, ma’am.” Still looking at her and tripping at his feet, the boy, probably Librarian in training, lead her upstairs to the best looking doors in this building. He knocked and let her in without even waiting for response. “Sit.” she said as she entered the room, paying little attention to the middle aged man behind the director’s desk. “Like I said on the phone, I’m gonna need a room, with full privacy. Money for my expenses. Access to all the history records of this town and any piece of information you have on the company that runs the dig site. Oh, and full cooperation of every member of your little book-shed. Any questions?” By the time she finished, he was already standing and turning red on his face. “You! Who do you think you are?! Barging into my office, throwing demands left and right? You’re talking to the Chief Librarian of this city!” she roared pointing a finger in Julia’s face. “Oh, I’m Julia Verana. Dark Oculator that is going to take care of the problem that you don’t even know you have.” As she was saying it, she activated her glasses, that right now were composed of Windstormer’s and Frostbringer’s Lenses. Channeling only a little piece of her power into them she created an icy gust of wind, blowing in his direction. “And you, mister Kowalsky, are going to sit down, before I give you frostbites!” A stronger blast of wind pushed the senior Librarian back to his chair, covering his jacket in white frost. “You may not be aware of it, but there is an oculatory device activr in your city. It shines brightly for every oculator in the world to seen. So, it’s only a matter of time before enemy forces arrive to your precious little town and wreak havoc trying to steal it from us. The higher ups had sent me here to help you take hold of the situation, before it’ll be too late.” “I don’t need your help, woman! I have dozens of able-bodied Librarians at my disposal and I have full control over local law enforcement forces. There is no need…” “Tell me, did any of your men ever faced a fully trained Crystin Knight?” she interrupted him and continued without waiting for an answer. “Or, even better, did they had a chance to try their abilities against a Smedry? Let alone a Smedry Oculator? Because that’s who we’re going to have here soon. And I assure you, the central branch would be very displeased with your performance if you let them even lay a finger on the artifact we’re talking about. So now, would you please take me to my room, so I can refresh myself, before we get to work?”

OMG, $100 for a book + shipping to Europe... I wonder if my girlfriend would try to kill me for paying this much money on one book. That's like 10% of our monthly budget Anyone can estimate for me how much would shipping to Europe cost? EDIT: Never mind, I found that it would be around $40... So in total $140... one of the hardest decisions of this year.

Is the tall girl standing in the middle Bastille? If yes, than she's grow quite tall and... evil looking

Couple of years ago I had pneumothorax - very nasty experience. I had to walk with a tube punched between my ribs, connected to a jar of water with an elastic pipe for three days. Most inconvenient

The Librarians are taking over this site I see. I must inform the Free Kingdoms! My dream job would be exploring new, unknown lands. Too bad there aren't any left :/

Well, I didn't hear about it, but after a quick google search and a lot of laugh, an upvote for you is not enough

Don't worry, I know I even have two-step authentication in gmail and any other place where it is available. Still I was surprised by the lack of secure connections to the forum.

Oh great Metronome, what hour should the clocks in Corvallis show? I miss my characters which I have too carelessly trapped in the future!

I just added 4 more chapter summaries to the Coppermind summary of Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians ^^ I'm proud of myself

Then you hope, that you're the main character

That depends on how much time you have to prepare yourself. But you probably should start right now. Buy a couple of pendrives, start writing a journal, keep photos and videos on them (maybe an external HDD would be more suitable because of their capacity). Encrypt the data using some code that you would tattoo somewhere on your body. Then, when you have a few copies ready, day by day start sending them to yourself using different shipping companies. This way, even if you loose your memories, you'll receive an HDD with your journals in a couple of days. Ok, but what if you loose all your memories in a foreign place? Tattoo you name, date of birth and any data required to easily identify you on a discreet part of your body. That way it will be pretty easy to contact members of your family to pick you up.

Aons are cool! 8/10

I'm not sure what to think about this episode. Missy was fun, even more fun than in the previous season, but the whole thing with Davros... not too thrilled about it. Seems like Moffat is trying to outsmart himself again, playing with paradoxes etc. It's like he's trying too hard :/

I'll just leave it here.

It is mentioned in WoK in his POV, that sometimes he feels like if there was something in the darkness.

New images from Pluto! Just look at how amazing it is. People managed to make a better photo of a place 5 billion kilometers away than I can make while hiking

That would be nice, and we can grab Elmina (Honor Spren's character) on our way to the artifact.
