Reddit reviews Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series

Nice.

Also, I suggest taking a look at:

• the book Vagabonding, by Rolf Potts
  
  
• the first season of Departures, on OLN
  
  
• the "Where the Hell is Matt?" videos:

Hey man, if you have an Amazon account, you can sell it right now for like 20 bucks, and after fees figure like 16 bucks, giving you a dime bag profit.


Edit: If you don't have one, PM me and I can sell it for you.

Fear cuts deeper than swords

OOH I LOVE SCAVENGER HUNTS. Placeholder. I'm working on this. Goodbye sunday night productivity.

1.) something that is gray.

2.) Something reminiscent of rain. It rains so much in my city and on those days I like to have my tea and soup and all the yummy hot homecooked food at school in the library while I study. I already have a great thermos for my tea and hot cocoa but not for my soups/food.

3.) Something food related that is unusual. I don't know if this is necessarily food related but WOOOO TEA. MANA-TEA. Seriously this is awesome.

4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. A wii for my mom because she has been wanting a wii or ipad for a long time. My bro and i think the wii would be better because at least we could all play it together when we go home to visit.

5.) I will recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It's the book I just finished reading and I feel like it has helped me a lot. I am so much more motivated and driven and it is helping me make some tough choices in my life. I am a senior in college but this book can help anyone who is at any place in their life I think. I currently have this on my wishlist which is like a supplement to the book. Seriously though, read it, share it with everyone you know. Let's make the world a happier place.

6.) An item that is less than a dollar. Awww yeee. They always seem to have one of these on the coffee table at my brother's house. Wherever he lives. Even though it's never his. But yeah, they're cool but I don't actually want one.

7.) Something related to cats. THIS IS SO AWESOME. I have another mug with the disappearing thing on my wishlist too. But yeah, I love cats, I just don't have much cat stuff on my wishlist. I do need a real cat though... hint hint nudge nudge

EDIT Aug 12, 12:15am PST

8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it. Okay it's not Amazon but it is beautiful and I have had my eye on it for a year. Despite that fact that I do not plan on having children for at least 8 years. Dem hormones are a'ragin.

9.) I know it's not REALLY a movie but... A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? Because it is so beautiful and awe inspiring. It really brings me a sense of peace every time I watch it.

10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain. I can put on my holy strainer hat and pray to The Flying Spaghetti Monster to save me from the zombies.

11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. I know I used this for another one but really, I think doing these exercises would help me in all areas of life.

12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. These beauties, even though I doubt I can grow them without a yard...

13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why? My little acer hand me down freezes a lot, can't do multiple things at once, doesn't have a cd drive, has a screen too tiny to edit photos or edit my website. Basically everything is frustrating. And I'm a college student. So I use the computer for basically everything... and everything the little laptop CAN do takes forever.

EDIT Aug 12, 1:51am PST

14.) Something bigger than a bread box. If you don't think that is big enough, then here, but it's newly added.

15.) Something smaller than a golf ball. Well, I'm pretty sure this is smaller than a golf ball. If it wasn't, I'd be disappointed.

16.) Something that smells wonderful. Mmm imagine the ginger lemon grass!

17.) A (SFW) toy. And here's another one because I couldn't decide which one looks more fun...

18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.

19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be. Currently obsessed with learning all kinds of new jewelry techniques! Also obsessed with tea because it's the one thing my boyfriend and I developed an interest in together. It didn't start out as either of our interests.

20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand. THIS IS SO PRETTY AND USEFUL AT THE SAME TIME. Seriously so cute, has lovely details, 8gb, and you can wear it as a pendant. Whaaaat!

EDIT: this lovely is made in oregon!

$0-$5:[Matryoshka Doll Key covers... they are so adorable and help you remember which key goes to which door. I know in my apartment building sometimes I have trouble with that. They say $7 but there are other sellers for like $2, FYI] (http://www.amazon.com/Matryoshka-Covers-Novelty-Russian-Organize/dp/B002SZL644/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3Q3G2L6N3OIHH&coliid=I103TK3BJ66TIQ)

$5-$10: The 5 Love Languages book. A little religious at times, but really it's an amazing read. You learn a lot about yourself and how to convey your feelings to those around you in ways that they understand. Priceless, really.

$10-$20: [Staple Gun, because EVERYTHING.] (http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-TR150HL-SharpShooter-Heavy-Staple/dp/B000BPT316/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=14CQQ0P44NADZ&coliid=I16Q70UB4ZR0IH)

$20-$50: [Planet Earth series. Everyone should view this, IMO. Even better on a big screen TV in HD. Holy Hell the universe we live in is beyond breathaking] (http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Earth-The-Complete-Series/dp/B000MR9D5E/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=14CQQ0P44NADZ&coliid=I3H3DRSAYG4OCR)

More like $20 2 disc, and $35 six disc.
