Sigh. Does anyone know where I can get Mac-friendly comic torrents? I didn't have any trouble with the Bittorent client, but I can't really USE it if all the files available to me are in completely incompatible formats.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Hmm. They're pretty much all going to be .cbz and .cbr.

Yeah, that's been my experience thus far. I've found some stuff in .pdf via various filesharing programs, but only an issue at a time and in no particular order.
Dammit, where will I get my crack now?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
P-C, whyfore can't you use a library? Were you banned for doing unspeakable things to the microfiche?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You know, right, that .cbz and .cbr files are just .zip and .rar archives with the file extensions changed? I'm not sure of the current state of mac compression utilities, but at least those are pretty standard compression algorithms, so something oughta do it.

The link I posted is to a viewer that works with the Mac. Holli should be fine if she's on OSX.
(And I know that, having made them!)

Well, I kinda figured you knew, having just seen an example this morning. Was too lazy to come up with less specific wording that didn't sound stuffy.

Oh, it's just that I haven't bothered to get an Ann Arbor library card, and I don't really have that much time to read for pleasure as it is. Although I've been making time now. I have several books I own I haven't actually read yet (as well as some books I read long ago that I'd like to read again), so I'm pretty well covered.
But when I was at Rice, one of the best parts of coming home was getting to go to the library and getting a bunch of books to read over break. The librarian knew us, we went there so often. Oh, and I mean...the library! All those fucking books! And they let you read them! For free! Some things about this world don't suck.
