Broke up with my GF of 4 years
Lost 50 pounds in 5 months
Getting my masters in accounting
Ran a marathon, multiple distance triathlons and a half Ironman
Training for a full Ironman in May

If Patel still posts I finally read Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
Oh, and I no longer give two shits about politics. Like at all.

Yes, it starts off with a bunch of dudes wearing tight black suites getting wet, then they strip down and wear some tight shorts and then ends with bloody nipples if you're not careful.

I've been reassessing my life over the past 18 months or so. Been going back to school. Trying to get in shape and generally just being a better person.

Also, growing a beard. That takes a lot of effort for a baby face like me.

Don't get too smug there, I'm still libertarian I just dont get emotionally invested in shit that doesn't matter. Also, when I say "being a better person", I'm referring to taking care of my body and mind not exactly altruistic endeavors.

Glad you read some Heinlein - unlike Rand, you can enjoy his characters and stories even if you disagree with his politics. Moon is a Harsh Mistress is one of my favorites just for its ballsy golden age SFness.

I read Future War which was a counterpoint to Starship Troopers.

Good luck finding it, was only ever released on laser disc as I recall and the master copies are lost/destroyed so no chance of a re-release ever.

I've got 2-3 [fansubbed] episodes of it around somewhere, can't remember where I found them though.

Momo · « **Reply #31 on:** January 19, 2012, 12:42:21 PM »

Same. I got it from a LAN. Some guy was sharing 3TB worth of fansubs and that was the one thing that stood out to me due to the rarity.
