Are you mdom on there, too?

I might have put in special request for the McQueen books from the library. At least have one. I can scan pages for ideas.

mdom 05-06-2018 11:33 PM

Yes! Fortunately I created an account in time.

Nice!I don't think my city has any fashion books |D

Biomecha 05-07-2018 12:10 AM

I just have the Pep one.

That seems kind of surprising?

It was an interlibrary loan, so they have to be borrowed from wherever they can find it since they weren't at my library.

mdom 05-07-2018 12:12 AM

I don't know why it's so poor in books T^T the university definitely has more variety, but it's alll the way across the city.

Biomecha 05-07-2018 01:20 AM

Ah, that's crummy. There should be an app that lets you order from other libraries and it gets delivered to you.

mdom 05-07-2018 11:19 AM

That's what I miss the most (ok maybe I miss my friends) from my uni days, so many books... and loaning from other universities, so I could read virtually anything.

Biomecha 05-07-2018 05:39 PM

I'll just borrow everything for you and send them. Will have to create a fake ID and address so they can't come at me with late fees.

mdom 05-07-2018 06:29 PM

At uni there were no late fees, you just couldn't take books while you didn't return them

Biomecha 05-07-2018 06:50 PM

Do you have a system there where you can check out ebooks from libraries?

mdom 05-07-2018 09:25 PM

Not that I know of. Well, definitely not in my city xD Maybe in São Paulo.

Biomecha 05-07-2018 10:39 PM

It's so weird. If an ebook is already checked out, you have to be put on the waiting list until it's your turn just like regular books.

mdom 05-07-2018 11:09 PM

That's so odd... they're sent for real then, not as copies? So when you have it you uhh could you copy it? I don't really know, .epubs can be downloaded to the computer, can't they?

Biomecha 05-08-2018 12:15 AM

They're digital, and you have a few ereader options. But I think it has to do with them only having the rights to so many digital copies. So, everyone has to wait if more people have it on hold than the number of digital copies they own.

mdom 05-08-2018 09:20 AM

Ohh right. Gotta do everything legally xD

Biomecha 05-08-2018 05:13 PM

Seems like there should be a system where libraries don't have to worry about it.

mdom 05-08-2018 08:09 PM

Yes, it's called make all knowledge free!!!

I mean... don't kill me us government

Biomecha 05-08-2018 08:58 PM

There are things like Project Gutenberg at least. Maybe more will come along.

mdom 05-08-2018 09:09 PM

Yeah but they're only for public domain. At the same time, poor families of dead writers.

Biomecha 05-08-2018 09:15 PM

Umm, get so rich that you can buy all the books and counter sue anyone who tries to sue you for sharing.

mdom 05-08-2018 09:45 PM

I need to marry Jeff Bezos and kill him, is what you're saying

Biomecha 05-08-2018 09:54 PM

Does that mean Amazon will get a better interface?

mdom 05-08-2018 10:00 PM

Hey, that means I'd have to spend my book money on that!!

Biomecha 05-08-2018 10:42 PM

Just charge even more for prime.

The way drag queens have raised the bar for fashion just leaves things like Met Gala fashion a bit underwhelming.

mdom 05-08-2018 10:46 PM

Hehe yes, more should've gone the Rihanna pope path. Maybe not from Galliano tho.

Biomecha 05-08-2018 10:59 PM

So many were, slap a veil/headpiece on it and call it a day.

I miss the time with Galliano before he made the hateful comments.

mdom 05-08-2018 11:01 PM

Yes. Life was good before mostly everyone we know revealed themselves to be trash.

Also someone on facebook called the met gala cultural appropriation. Why

Biomecha 05-08-2018 11:21 PM

We need to invest in designers that are pure of heart that know how to put on a show.

People often seek out ways to be a victim.

mdom 05-08-2018 11:31 PM

That sounds like a small list.

I mean... go complain about native headresses in fashion first pls

Biomecha 05-08-2018 11:55 PM

Is there even a list?

Didn't the Vatican approve it? And gave them some of the outfits. I can see why it can be offensive, but the line is kind of blurred.

mdom 05-09-2018 12:11 AM

Hm, good question. After that prada shirt of Angela Davis, it's hard to find like, anyone.

Yeah, I heard many outfits came straight from the source. I also have read folks complaining about the theme, but fashion has a lot in common with catholicism, like pedophilia haaaa

Biomecha 05-09-2018 01:05 AM

Heheh, I could practically hear the rimshot.

And I just now dodged a snake attack, except it was friendly this time at least. Or I hope...I took a photo to be sure.

mdom 05-09-2018 01:16 AM

Are you tired of motherfucking snakes in your motherfucking house?

Biomecha 05-09-2018 01:22 AM

Yes, Samuel L. Jackmdom.

I just don't need to be more scared to step outside.

mdom 05-09-2018 01:27 AM

I'm going there to shoot them all then!! >:UUUU

Biomecha 05-09-2018 01:34 AM

Are you secretly a Texan? It's definitely a friendly this time.

mdom 05-09-2018 01:42 AM

I'd use the guns you already own, of course.

Oh actually I found out a friend from college is now in Texas! Houston. uh
rice university?

Biomecha 05-09-2018 01:55 AM

You got it. I have mostly gone by there because it's near the museums and medical center. And sooo many good coffee shops. Probably food, too...but we never eat out.

mdom 05-09-2018 10:37 AM

Hm, not sure he's a coffee shop guy, but museums is a maybe.
He studies Aristotle. I also found out he has a kid. 5 years old!! Where has time gone.

Biomecha 05-09-2018 04:41 PM

Did you both study Greek philosophy together?

It's weird to think that the people I grew up with have kids that probably graduated high school. I mean...some were pregnant in high school, so they had a bit of an early start.

mdom 05-09-2018 04:48 PM

Yes! He's more friends with my bff, that's how I heard the news. My bff didn't finish college though.

hehe, I see. Maybe you already know a grandma.
