Woah, that's a really good start, congrats! You must be feeling gooood right now :D

Yeah, really happy because amount-wise, I don't feel like I'm eating much less. Plus the food has been awesome! Going to start learning how to cook some of these dishes, as when I move back to the UK I don't want to get back into my old habits of a takeaway a week, 2+ sandwiches for lunch, etc..

After this summer I'll be able to say I've studied with several world class virtuosos :D

How did you manage to get those lessons with Steve Vai?! Were they super expensive? That's pretty insane though.

Yeah pretty expensive :lol:

But the credential should mean I make a ridiculous ROI with my teaching.

I wish I'd watched it when everyone else was, but omg, Breaking Bad. It's making being unemployed awesome because I can spend all my time watching it as it's SO GOOD.

I'm so jealous of people who are just picking it up now, who can just binge it to fuck.

The inbetween season waits were horrendous D:

I feel like I should start watching it. Wouldn't even know where to find it without probably either downloading a load of viruses or paying though.

It took me like 3 months to get through Breaking Bad, I just didn't get hooked on it, I mean it was good, but I'm still not entirely sure what the massive fuss was

Season 1 was a bit boring, season 2 was much better. I have 1-3 on DVD, haven't watched 3 yet.

I loved season 1 & 2, 3 has been slower but still awesome. Are there 5 seasons? Because I can't find season 5 anywhere D:

I was hooked because I was expecting a twist or something. The ending was a bit disappointing in the end because of that.

However, the Song of Ice and Fire series was full of twists so I stormed through the books - I like knowing what everyone else knows. I don't like being out of the loop.

I don't think that there needed to be a twist at the end. I think the final episode tied everything up well enough. I think a twist ending could've spoiled everything personally.

Not a twist exactly, just a bigger finish. It was kind of predictable and didn't really have much of an impact. That being said, the previous two episodes were better. And the finales of series 2 and series 4 were both fantastic.
