Crossposting test and two thoughts

1) There really needs to be more badasses with glasses. I mean, seriously, badass characters are now a dime a dozen and yet while it's perfectly normal now to dodge bullets with ease and always have a conveniently whiny backstory to sortanotreally explain why someone's a jerkass (thanks, Kratos!), merely wearing glasses is an anomaly.

2) In more serious news, this quote from One Hundred Years of Solitude about Melquiades the gypsy really struck me. Enough so that if I decided to get a tattoo and if I wanted a literary quote, this would be one of the ones I'd consider (hopefully in Spanish):

"He really had been through death, but he had returned because he could not bear the solitude."

I'd probably opt for something from a more seminal book in my life, or a meaningful image (velociraptor tattoo if I ever get together with E?), but it resonates nonetheless.

*trying to remember if Clive Owen's character in The Bourne Identity wore glasses*

I really need to read that book. It's one of my dad's favorites.

And I just checked, Clive Owen's character did indeed have glasses. And was badass.

...Not that I know those movies too well or anything.
