Some "Grinchy" Christmas music for your Christmas Eve "cheer"

Fixing accidental downvotes, however, is cool... like reading and following the rules!

Can't go wrong with gnome kisses (which are essentially Eskimo kisses, except Eskimos do not exist )

That's more relevant, though I was thinking more along the lines of and

And now, for what I assume is Doctor Who humor:

Man, how am I suppose to read with the power out? Stupid High Storm...

For wanting Kaladin to be happy raising a child, for some reason

Not all of them, but what I've read I have enjoyed thoroughly, and hopefully I'll be able to find the rest soon.

The incident turned out to have no appreciable impact on any systems... So for a while I was feeling pretty annoyed at wasting a lot of time and effort while being relieved that we wouldn't have to metaphorically cut an arm off to resolve the incident.I eventually settled on feeling like chatting "Stupid, stupid rat creatures!" When thinking about it. http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/boneville/images/3/3a/StupidStupidRatCreatures.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110719201722

I like it!

Heh... Yeah. I was able to just power through it, scratching my head a bunch but that's what I liked about it. At the time of reading it, I was sick of books that spelled everything out. I wanted subtlety! Now granted, what you get with Malazan is authorial reticence, but I did not care at that time!

Ah, I must have misread your previous post... My brain is kinda fried from yesterday's 127 Hours incident at work yesterday.

There's a lot wrong with that meme...including ignoring that several eighteen year olds fought for Nazis and other such inconvenient facts.And it is a false analogy. Many WWII soldiers were drafted...in my generation, all the soldiers volunteered, so...you know, get off your high horse, stupid meme!

Yuck.I work Christmas Eve, too. However, it's going to be a "No one is around so we can't really get anything done" sort of day... So, yea me!

Yeah, cats love to do that. Wait until she manages to make your computer do things you did not think was possible!

Haven't read Tigana, but I have read Gardens of the Moon... And I would say you are correct. You get some character development as it goes on, and you get lots more after that book, but otherwise... Gardens of the Moon is something of a mess.

Impossible, the Lord Ruler made it the Kandra so they could not eat bacon, otherwise their loyalty to Him would not be absolute.

You can't stop Hoid! He'll get his bacon sandwich even if he has to watch your world burn!

Kaladin is accused of kidnapping, since the child was not orphaned. Using this to their political advantage, the enemies of Dalinar create discord when unity in the face of Desolation is needed. As the Everstorm destroys Roshar, Kaladin realizes that he not only failed as a Knight Radiant, but had ultimately failed the girl as well. Everyone dies alone. Odium laughs and Hoid still manages to get what he wanted from Roshar (a bacon sandwich)

Don't need to! Slipped some... chamomile into your tea this morning! Soon you'll be so relaxed, you won't be able to help but nap! Mwahaha!

You should wait until the universe is asleep, put some shaving cream in its hand, and tickle its nose with a feather! That'll show it!

Move on forward! You're doing the right thing and I hope the resolution is prompt!

There are ways around everything. I can't imagine Iowa being uber expensive. I can't imagine that you'll have to live in the crime-infested part of town with drive by square-dancings just to get by. So long as you know how to budget, I can't see the offered salary being bad. Even with veterinarian care.

Of course. And in between, you have the people who just don't like cups of tea.... or something like that. For example, I did enjoy reading Harry Potter... once. And that's really it. I won't get involved in fandom or all this other...stuff that seems to be still going on, because it was just merely enjoyable when I read it once and now have gone on to something else. I do not really need to justify it. But, on the flipside, I also should not say, "You guys are STILL reading that? Hoid take it, read something REAL!" or something equally or more condescending. As the ol' saying goes, sometimes there's no accounting for taste.
