Super Ego: Alright, we've just started a mortgage, and we've got that computer to pay off. Gonna be a tough few months so necessary expenditures only.
Ego: Got it!

Other than the fact that it's disappointingly un-Freudian, this is such a grand idea. Can you imagine it you guys? What if instead of finding the plant-loving aliens with all their cool space-druid aesthetics, we are the plant-loving aliens with the space-druid aesthetics?!

Reading about how to make space travel cheaper. Finally, someone is offering some real solutions!

Very entertaining read! Got a lot of inspiration for my next doctor dnd character. Very funny throughout, though some sections were hard to take in (this might be a me problem though)
4/5 stars - great for conversation, not medical practice. Do not try at home 😅

Survived the chapter! 😂
Thought I'd share the following which I found particularly amusing. Also, a fun bit of trivia for you: 'It is thought that prophylactic sheaths were introduced to England by a courtier of Charles II named Colonel Condum'.

Wish me luck, gentlemen!
Although I will admit that 'Vatican Roulette' would be an excellent name for a band.

The brain did a thing and went: if I was stuck back in time to before cakes were invented, could I feasibly make a cake from scratch with my current knowledge. One thing lead to another and now I have the vague knowledge of how to make sugar from sugar beats in my head.

James: *pushes relative in pond*

James: Now pick your sorry ass up and go to bed.

Mathew: Why yes, good sir, my pills can cure everything from colds to cholera, soar throats to scurvy, rickets to rheumatism! I know of nothing it can't cure!
Narrator: Unfortunately, it couldn't cure whatever Mathew died of.

Was browsing through Edgar Allen Poe's poems hoping for something good and creepy before bed. Was not expecting to find such a magnificent pun! 🤣

Starting a new thing where I make myself read a chapter of non-fiction every day. Reading Nigel Cawthorne's The Curious Cures of Old England where I found this interesting tidbit on leeches.

You know a book's good when it can make you genuinely seething with anger but for the right reasons. Amazingly visceral descriptions which had me putting the book down for a second to recover. I only wish they did more on the side characters. 4 stars! ⭐

Halfway through the book I'm reading and I'm so mad! Like in an irrational heart-poundy way. Rightly so, because that's how the author intended me to feel. But by the gods, right before bedtime is not the time! 😅

Had a craving for some good vampire literature and found this beauty ❤️
Only 70 pages in so far but absolutely hooked!
Loving the combination of gossiping housewives and vampire serial killers.

Equal parts exciting and just downright fun! Excellent for lovers of mecha and those new to the genre. With a satisfying love story to boot! Super fighting robots in a historically inspired futuristic setting: what's not to love? 5 stars!
