January 24, 20232 yr This statue is really nice but they really screwed up the face. The face is the only reason why I'm not getting it. @Enrico_sw @SympathysSilhouette does this look like Ciri to you? The figure I bought has two heads, one is normal geralt and the other has the 'hearts of stone' mark on his face. The hair is funky
January 26, 20232 yr On 1/23/2023 at 6:20 PM, Enrico_sw said: For French literature, Dumas is great. Les misérables from Hugo is a classic as well. I'd say also: - One of Molière's theatre play (like Tartuffe or les fourberies de Scapin) - Candide from Voltaire (it's an hilarious satire of optimism) - Le Père Goriot from Balzac - Paroles from Prévert (poetry) - L'étranger from Camus (best French author in the 20th century) - Zola (most famous naturalist author), with Germinal or l’Assommoir, it's a bit dark though. In Russian literature, I studied deeply two books: Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" and Tolstoy's "War and Peace". I will check all these books to see more and get back to you. I did 1/3rd of 3 Muskateers and I still am not feeling it. I think the book is way too romantic and unrealistic/idealistic in their portrayal of chivalry. I find the musketeers a bit like clowns. I can see the appeal for those that idealize chivalry during those times though. I started Brothers Karamazov (Dostoevsky). Very impressed with its qualities. I also want to read Crime and Punishment, Anna Karelina, Fathers and Sons, Master and Margerita etc etc.
January 28, 20232 yr Now that I have Yennefer, Geralt, and Shani it seems like greed is starting to get the better of me because these statues look so good. They seem to need some company: Ciri, Triss, Dandelion, Regis, Vesemir, ..
January 29, 20232 yr @Matt! I did my leg day yesterday and there were mostly women one the machines... and me! Leg days are the best, just for that Booty sets are the best part. On a more serious note, I don't understand why men don't do their glutes, they are so important for your balance. I feel more stable when I run or do martial arts, thanks to all these glutes exercices.
January 31, 20232 yr I finished the first 4 hrs of the Brothers Karamazov. I admire the brilliance of the work but I really don't like the experience so far. It is way too depressing and aggravating.
January 31, 20232 yr Avatar 2 is now the 4th highest grossing film of all time. Adjusted for inflation though, it is lower on the list.
February 6, 20232 yr I keep listening to Smoke + Mirrors by Imagine Dragons. This album is genius and honestly Imagine Dragons is possibly one of my favorite bands now (which surprises me, because I thought I was one of this a**holes who think that most mainstream music has become shite since the 00s ) In any case, this music is wonderful.
February 11, 20232 yr I am anticipating my Geralt Ursine statue and also the release of Geralt Toussaint tourney statue in March 2023. I am not a statue-collecting guy but with this subject matter I feel like a kid again.
February 11, 20232 yr JK Rowling is awesome I love her, she is great. She tells what she thinks, doesn't get intimidated, she's feminine and strong at the same time (unlike 99% of the self-labelled strong wamen ).
February 11, 20232 yr I wanted to listen to this song once again, but, on youtube, a big chunk of the lyrics are censored.... (and not just the swearing)
