Looking Good



This bitch knows she's hot.  It's 1985, and she's about to paint the town neon.  I'm not going to lie, her lip gloss be poppin.  She looks this crazy made up, just imagine what she looks like at 6:00 a.m. with no makeup and no wig. This is a man, right?

Hell Yes



I think I've written about these books before, but my favorite fantasy series ever is The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, and now Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.  There are 11 books so far, with number 12 due out at the beginning of November.  These books are amazing.  The story is epic and engrossing, and the detail of the world and multitudes of characters is astonishing.  Jordan created a compelling magic system, which is vital for any fantasy read, but this might be the most interesting.  The original author died a few years ago, but he had already outlined how he wanted the series to end, even writing some of it himself.  The last two books are co-authored by Brandon Sanderson, a talented fantasy writer by his own merit.  I'm excited for the next book, and this trailer gave me multiple nerdgasms.  The character being quoted was my favorite, and she last appeared many books ago, but the authors have been hinting at her rescue for some time.  NBC has the rights to do a miniseries for the first entry, but it's apparently unlikely that it will be made.  Universal Pictures plans on making the first book into a movie, but this worries me.  There's too much going on in this world to translate to film.  I think it's possible for a great movie, but no matter what, it will be highly simplified.  It has potential to be terrible, but I'll see it anyway.  If you haven't read the books, get off your grubby ass and go get The Eye of the World.  Better yet, sit your grubby ass in that seat, and just order the Kindle edition.
