I am thinking about going.  If I did go, I'd love to get a ride with you, Eric.

I could potentially stay with my parents (they live in Santa Clara) but might also consider staying with the girls if there was room.

I'll have to think about it some more, though.

Brandon Sanderson / Mistborn Miniatures Now Available
« on: December 13, 2008, 03:13:46 AM »
Mistborn miniatures and figurines are now available for sale at Garden Ninja Painting Studio.

The minis come in four sculpts (Vin, Kelsier, a Steel Inquisitor, and a Koloss) and in three finishes (unpainted, hand painted, and finished pewter.)

We're very excited about these, and would love for you to check them out.

Oh no, MsFish.  If you paid for it, it's yours.  Is there some question about who owns the plastic shark I just bought? Does it somehow still belong to the rickets victim who assembled it in far off Taiwan?  In what way would a paper that I paid a legless Indian street urchin to write not be "my own?"

In the way that if a student in my class did that I would fail them outright, and the university would support me in it.  You might own it, but that doesn't make it okay in an academic setting.

Well, not in an academic setting, where turning something in for a class implies that it's your own work.  So it depends.

That sounds like par for the course where Meyers's books are concerned.  They really just aren't my thing.

Amazon will give you word counts on most books.  It's in the "text stats" section.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: MB1 ? about Lord Ruler **** Major Spoiler****

That's always been my assumption--that he wanted people to think that he couldn't be killed in any of those ways, when the reality is that it's just very difficult to get him into one of those positions to begin with, because of his allomantic and feruchemical powers.

I hope they get David Boreanaz for Zane.  He's at his best when he's being beat up by little girls.

What's going on between her legs?  It looks like she has a tail. 

It's better, but I don't love it.

I will probably come if there are games, but will probably not come for Riftrax.  Maybe.  I'd like to see everyone, though.

Tage, we'll go see it with you.  I want to see it again, even though it turned my stomach.

My fiance Drew wrote a review for Sweeney Todd and just submitted it.  He gave it a really high rating, but I saw the film with him last week and I can vouch for him.  It was dang good.  I'd have written the review myself, but I didn't have time, and he's the film student anyway.  :)

So yay.  You have content.  The movie doesn't come out until the 21st, I believe, (we went to a screening), so I don't know when you'll want to post it.

Books / Re: So, apparently Dumbledore is gay.

I agree with Skar's first post.  Either make a statement in the literature, or don't make the statement.  Not putting it in the book and then talking about it afterwards is really spineless. 

Really, I just don't care.  Authors are suspect.  She hasn't ruined anything.  Author's don't get the luxury of interpreting their texts for people.  Meaning is manufactured by the reader. 

So pretty much, it doesn't matter what Rowling says is true about her books.  If it's in the text, great.  If it's not, it doesn't matter in the slightest.

This is the last sign of the apocalypse.  I'm going to go buy 100 rolls of saran wrap and all the duct tape I can carry, huddle in my basement and wait for the end.
