reading books to each other is an amazing pastime.
pastime
keep reading those books
i Swype type on my phone
i really hope I'm smarter irl
What's really fun is when you're parallel processing and what you're thinking about typing and what you're thinking about for fun switch every now and then, so you end up with a humanities thesis full of shark facts
Relevant XKCD
The lengths people will go to to excuse a giraffe cunnilingis text they sent to not the zookeeper
so that's why I keep seeing humans in shark essays?
I don’t see the problem…?
They edited the post from pass time to pastime after my comment.
Oh. I took your “pastime” as a quote, not a correction.
My wife got cataract surgery years ago and they kind of botched it, so she could see for some time. She couldn't watch videos/TV, browse the web, or anything like that, and it was pretty terrible for her. She asked me to read to her, so it became a daily thing. It was pretty neat, I have to admit, though it sure did make me hyper aware of my pronunciation and stuff.
Until its me where my fiancée always wants me to read to her while she falls asleep but I CANT RED OUTLOUD AND UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON AND SHE INTERRUPTS ME WOTH "HUH? WHOS THAT? WHY DID SHE DO THAT? WAS THIS WRITTEN BY A MAN??"
William Gaddis, The Recognitions, has been a trip so far
Although I recommend it, It is obvious it isn't for everyone.
I'm sure your fiancée appreciated it.
