A book I will not be reviewing, and other RL happenings

The Human Santapede





Nooooo thank you!

Thanks to a link from ani_mama, I ordered new glasses from http://www.zennioptical.com/. Can you believe that (most) people can get prescription glasses for $6 + $4 shipping? Amazing! Unfortunately I'm not one of those people. My eyes are so bad, I had a $20 extra charge for the much stronger prescription. :/ Still, $30 for prescription glasses is so so so much better than getting them at the office I visit. (They want to sell me $400+ ones...)

Only thing that worries me is the ordering process strongly suggested that I get some special thinner lens, but that was an extra $70... I hope I don't end up with coke bottle glasses. I also hope I'll get them before I go on vacation at the end of the month, but I might not.

eeek!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Agreed!

lol that quote on the cover...but also, that's a pretty high rating on Amazon for a book like this, haha...I'm definitely intrigued, although not enough to actually read it myself XD

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

And on Goodreads, too. I'm SLIGHTLY curious, but no where enough to actually get it.

I hope the glasses work out for you! For $30 versus $400, it is worth a try.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I figured! Worth a try at least.

Aw mannnnnnnnnn, I can't believe you won't review that for us.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

That one seems a little too much even for me!

I cannot believe someone thought that was a good choice for a cover image. Ugh. Well at least it gives us all an instant recognition this is one NOT to read.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

YES. So very agreed. It amuses some folks, but I'm not one of them.
