"Life, uh, life finds a way."

I haven't really tried many "exotic" foods... My dad served a 2-year religious mission in Japan, so he has introduced my family to a lot of Japanese foods that I like, such as gyoza, curry, and yakisoba. I tried a cucumber roll once, too, but it did not please me. I also tried a tiny speck of wasabi once and about DIED, because I have like, no tolerance for spicy foods.

Actually, in the movies, they all say "Hail Hydra." The original German-speaking members of Hydra were probably saying "Heil", but since Hydra has gone global since 1945 it's "Hail" now.

I'm re-reading Cinda Williams Chima's Seven Realms series to get ready for the release of Flamecaster, the first book in a followup series set some 20-ish years after the events of the Seven Realms. 1 book down, 3 to go!

So how does round 2 start? Windrunner and Dustbringer were the only 2 orders left alive, so do we start them both at 10 and go through the same process with only two orders competing?

The American military uses the 24-hour clock too. That's why we sometimes call it "military time."

This problem is still happening. Is anything being done or being planned to be done about it?

I agree, clam chowder FTW! (The New England kind, that is. I've never had the Manhattan variety.) I made a big pot of it from my grandma's recipe recently and was very pleased with the results, considering that I've never made it on my own before. I am also a big fan of chili con carne. I have yet to taste a chili that I don't like.

I'm 21. It feels weird to realize that some other Sharders are several years younger than me...

Burkina Faso

That's the thing, though. I've never heard anybody say that aloud, so I don't know how to pronounce that either.

D'aww, Carola, she's adorable!

I used to say JAWZ-nuh (Jasnah) and SHALL-un (Shallan) until I heard Brandon do readings from the Stormlight books. Now I have adopted his pronunciations of YAWZ-nuh and shuh-LAWN. I also used to say SAW-zedd (Sazed) until I was reminded of his nickname "Saze", which only makes sense if his full name is SAY-zedd. Raoden - RAY-oh-den Sarene - suh-REEN Gavilar - GAV-ill-arr (first vowel is the same as "cat") Marasi - muh-RAW-see MeLaan - meh-LAWN (first syllable partially a diphthong) Szeth - ZETH Kaladin - like "paladin" but with a K Catacendre - kat-uh-SEND-ray Cett - SET Demoux - duh-MOE OreSeur - ore-uh-SEUR (last syllable is like the last bit of "connoisseur" or "entrepreneur") Kelsier - kell-see-AIR Elend Venture - ELL-end VENN-chur Straff - vowel same as "cat" Scadrial - SCADD-ree-ull Question for you all: do you say the first part of "hemalurgy" HEEM or HEMM? I can't decide which one I like.

I realized this too as I was reading Secret History. Doesn't make sense to call him "SAYZ" if his full name is said "SAW-zedd." So I think you are right--it is most likely "SAY-zedd."

That file name pleases me, and so does the picture! Just because the process to make it wasn't complicated doesn't mean it can't be beautiful.

Heh. I'm the kind of clumsy idiot who has actually stabbed herself with an X-acto knife in art class because I was dumb enough to cut towards my finger.

I believe the Kindle app has to have the Kindle-specific format that Amazon uses, which is not an epub. (The file extension is .azw3 according to my folder of Kindle books on my computer.) I second the suggestion to use Overdrive. Your local library might have an ebook copy (epub OR Kindle) of Elantris available for download. Alternatively, you can buy the Kindle version on Amazon for $3 right now. Dunno how long that'll last.

For making fun of my contribution of clam chowder to the Vending Machine game.

Although some people will tell you otherwise, the two do not necessarily go hand in hand.
