Brandon Sanderson / Re: Gathering Storm Release Date Moved Up
« on: August 12, 2009, 12:59:31 AM »
I'm so happy! 
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

I really really like the US Mistborn covers. I didn't much like the UK ones you linked.

« on: June 26, 2009, 04:59:06 AM »It's helpful, the first time you go to sushi, to go with a friend who knows it. If you're ever feeling adventurous, and want to go on a sushi date in Reno, Ari (my fiancée) and I would be glad to double you and your date for sushi (we absolutely love it—and it's best to eat sushi with about 4 people, so you can taste a little of a lot of different things).
If you're weirded out by meeting online people (i.e., me), that's okay too—we here at TWG are a pretty tight-knit group that way, though (I have to admit, I was glad to see a local sign up—gets tiring having to travel to Utah to see any TWiGgers.)
I would love to meet up! I have no problem meeting people online, the first time I met people I'd met online I flew all the way to Colorado to the mountains so driving to Reno is no great hardship! It would be fabulous to meet y'all
I'll pm you my #!

This isn't part of his books but I was reading over his First Law in the Articles section of his website and at one point he says "fast" instead of "vast".

I found a level 1 Tyrant! He's um...A student of Light something. Dangit, I'm going to have to go back and find him and look again.

I've never tried Sushi, I'm not sure I"ll like it. I'm not a big seafood person. I'm pretty sure the Thai restaurant I tried was Bangkok Cuisine though I can't remember off of the top of my head, it's just down the street from the Peppermill. I live in Carson and I was a little leery about trying Basil Thai but I'll have to check it out now! The money would end up being about the same once you account for gas prices!
I've actually never heard of Hawaiian Haystacks but I looked it up and it doesn't sound similar. Basically haystacks is chips (usually Frito's) and then you can add whatever toppings you like on top. Refried beans, lettuce, olives, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, ranch, ketchup, beef, etc etc etc. It's really easy to make for a big group of people and they can pick and choose what they like.

That's how I took it as well, especially after one of the scenes before it when he mentions he didn't want to assign her to Enterprise because it might be mistaken for favoritism.

I'd also like to say that it was rather rude to say I had been brainwashed.

I suppose I'm just too simplistic as to see the implications but I see no problem with the alternate reality. It doesn't negate the other timeline, it exists alongside it as I'm sure millions upon millions of other realities do. I'm really excited to see what new adventures take place! I watched Star Trek 3 times and it jumped to my second favorite movie after I saw it the first time

I'd say Fox's pretty dolls, originally Whedon wanted Dolls of various colors and sizes and looks...he wanted real diversity. Fox decided they wanted everyone pretty. And personally I found November gorgeous, I suppose you mean because she isn't stick thin?
