I'm in! Edit: Likes: I absolutely love behind-the-scenes / making-of books, although I own very few. I just read the Heaven's Gate making-of recently, to give you an idea. - Favorite movies are Ghostbusters (duh), the Godfather trilogy, Heat, 3:10 to Yuma (both), Scream, Halloween, RoboCop, Alien, Prometheus ... basically, I have a huge boner for Ridley Scott. Also, I lived in Baltimore for a year, love Homicide: Life on the Street, and am a sucker for anything about that city's history. Dislikes: I don't do T-shirts or other stuff along those lines. Also, please do not send alcohol, because it will get poured down the drain. Timby fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Nov 29, 2017 |

GonSmithe posted:I have that knife sharpener, it's insanely good for a non-whetstone sharpener. My new knife I got recently hasn't event gotten close to dull using that and a honing steel. My primary knife is a santoku from a Chicago Steel set my parents gave me, like, six years ago. Yeah, yeah knife sets, and it's not like I asked for the drat thing, but it's worked pretty well ... but I cooked a whole chicken maybe two or three weeks ago, and I had trouble breaking it down despite having recently sharpened it with my lovely-rear end sharpener and honing steel that really just needs to get replaced. I'm looking forward to using this on my santoku, my giant lovely knife and my bread knife. And, you know, Logan loving owns.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:Indeed! There's one last thing coming that should arrive next week. Oh, wow, thank you. My wife grumped a bit when she got home because she was planning on getting me Logan as a stocking-stuffer but once she saw the sharpener she was pretty happy. That was an awesome surprise after a day of lovely job phone screens. Franchescanado posted:I got a GREAT book of Will Shortz puzzles that were "beginner friendly", I guess. It was above average on the challenge level that were chosen to teach the ways to approach the puzzles. It was difficult, but I could solve them. My friend really liked it, so I ended up giving it to her. Now I forget the collection's title. Honestly, those Dell books they sell for a few bucks at the supermarket checkout lines (the ones you find next to, like, the Archie comics) are pretty good. I have a stack of four or five of them and I'm still going through one from June. Also, I don't know where you are, but most alternative publications--as in an arts + entertainment tabloid--will have a crossword from King Features or something along those lines.

Just received "Eat What You Watch: A Cookbook for Movie Lovers." I'd post a photo but my phone is being a dickwolf. Thank you mysterious benefactor! Edit: Oh, the receipt was in the inside cover. Your other part arrived early, BSS!

Wow, thank you to my other Santa! I hadn't realized the Mead book had come out -- I can't wait to dig into it. Also, I'm glad to know that's where the art on my phone's lock screen comes from:  Edit: My wife gave me my gift early. I got a train.

feedmyleg posted:You've still gone one thing coming. Guessing that was the Blu-ray of Hairspray I got tonight? Honestly, I've never seen much of John Waters, but I know that Waters is quintessential Baltimore, and given how much I miss that city ... this was perfect. Thank you.
