You seem to know when everybody's birthday is. Perhaps I should be afraid.
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.

Mogget is from all three books. Sabriel came first. Read it. Also, why did you hate the dog so much?

Elantris was the first hook, Hrathen was the second. Definately.

Dear Dr. SE,
There is something wrong with my computer. Every few minutes (it varies) it will shut off, and scans by certain programs reveal that nothing is wrong except for the occasional tracking cookie, which is promptly deleted. Recently I have gotten a registry scanner which said that there were forty two errors with the above mentioned registry.
I fear that one of two things have happened if not both; either a certain entity which is to remain unnamed has employed his ninja monkeys to hack my computer so that he can steal my brilliant pictures of my pet llamas (the less likely path), or my computer has been infested with an ancient technology hating tiki god demon from Borneo (the more likely path). This tiki god demon would most likely be in the form of huge rock with big fluffy ears and a kitty cat face, and would randomly take screenshots of whatever I am doing on my computer at the given time of said screenshot, in this way he would create folders that literally took up tons of gigabytes.
Worse still, I have recently been forced to watch random movies from the past, and by this I mean BAD movies. If I have to sit through This Island Earth one more time I swear I will rip out my eyeballs with my hair (don't ask). I am certain that this is the work of the tiki god demon, especially because after the movies are over I receive a screen that says: this cruel and unusual punishment brought to you by Ish'juas'nuk'shi'tasha. This could only be the work of a tiki god demon.
So finally my question, where is the nearest bathroom?
Ohh, and also, do I need to find one of those weird black guys in the tents or tv shows that place their hands on stuff and yell 'I have the power! Be healed!' and whatever is wrong with the stuff is fixed, or do I need to go all the way and get a shaving cream endorser? Cause I really am sick of this stuff being wrong with this computer. Or should I just get some help from you of all people? Ohh, wait, I already am. Hmm.....
From,
Under the Mercies of a Tiki God Dem---NOOOOOOOO! Not This Island Earth again!

a not broken copy of chrono cross
Let Chrono Cross rule the world! That is the only game that I have ever played for more then forty eight hours straight, my ultimate time wasting expedition.
Edit: Oh, wait I get it, I want as follows:
Several books which I do not have the energy to list at this time.
UHF
A new hard drive for my personal computer
A forty acre piece of land so that I can breed sixty eight billion cipmunks and take over the world
Other things.

Everything Else / New Computer!
« on: December 17, 2005, 07:42:06 PM »
Okay, people may have noticed that I haven't done anything on TWG lately. This is because I got a new computer!
Sadly there were a few problems with it and I ended up having to reformat an re-install Windows, and then all the files and programs, which was a real pain. It was worth it though, I finally have a computer that doesn't take tons of time to start up, use the Internet, or be a pain in the butt all the time, so...Yay!
