  1. Some will do you a valuable service, but others are full of crem. A Brandon Sanderson book is like a good pair of boots.
  2. Granted. You are left unable to emotionally connect with anyone. I wish for a three-day weekend.
  3. I'd like to throw this out there while we are deciding when to meet next: I'm going to a book signing in Salt Lake Wednesday the 9th, so I will not be able to come that day. I would also prefer to meet a week other than the week of Salt Lake Comic Con (the week whose Monday is the 21st), since SLCC always makes my week super frazzled.

  6. Yes, the epilogue to WoR makes much more sense once you read Warbreaker.
  7. As a friend of the Root Beer Goddess, CarolaDavar, I can attest that the root beer is definitely non-hemalurgic.
  8. Welcome! Have an upvote for your member title, which totally reminds me of Doctor Who. (Soldier: Do you trust this man? River Song: I absolutely trust this man. Soldier: He's not some sort of madman then? River Song: I absolutely trust this man.) XD
  9. Welcome! Have an upvote. I think you'll find that this forum, while perhaps not as "busy" as some others out there, is very friendly and sometimes completely crazy. Enjoy your stay!
  10. I have lots, but there's one that drives me nuts above all else: people who insist on chewing like cows--mouths open, smacking and chomping. *shudders* You would not believe how many adults I've had to ask to chew with their mouths closed, which is supposed to be something parents teach their kids from a young age!
  11. (In reference to "The Dress" controversy that circulated on Facebook/Tumblr/the Internet in general a while back)
  12. Extraterrestrial
  13. You get a dead Shardblade. *inserts broadsheet*
  14. I thought the FF reboot was just awful. Putting aside the inability of the FF to function without the special suits (which I thought was really stupid), the whole 2 hours I was bothered by the fact that the Thing had no clothes. What, specifically, do you not like about The Mortal Instruments?
  15. It's finally my turn for Bands of Mourning on the library hold list, so Naomi Novik is getting put on hold until I finish BoM!! I'm 18% in and have already highlighted several funny quotes. I love the new kandra. "Can I have your skeleton when you die?" XD
  16. It took way too long for me to get these Tautology Club jokes, considering that I am an English Language major... *hangs head in shame*
  17. After reading your post, I realized that you are right; I made an assumption that I shouldn't have about where Tavi got her powers. You make some very good points. As you said, Mizzy could still be evidence in favor of new Epics popping up spontaneously (not through inheritance) without either Calamity or Invocation being around, but I guess we'll have to wait for more info to get an explanation of why and how.
  18. Does anybody else think this topic belongs in the Calamity Spoiler Board? Not that I'm not also super excited about this. I'm just thinking of everyone who hasn't finished Firefight and doesn't know the full extent of Megan's powers.

  20. What in Calamity...? An intro post got longer than a single page? Blasphemy!
  21. An album by the group Celtic Thunder titled "The Light of Other Days." They've got some awesome accordion riffs that are really fun to listen to.
  22. So I finished Furies of Calderon today and quite enjoyed it. I'm glad the Marat turned out to be more than just two-dimensional "savage" archetypes. I will definitely be reading book 2. Next on my list is Crucible of Gold, the next one of Naomi Novik's Temeraire series that I haven't yet read.
  23. Well, in Firefight's reality, Epics were still being born after Invocation left, right? Tavi is an example of this. So clearly the presence of Calamity/Invocation is not necessary in order for new Epics to pop up. I think Calamity set something in motion when he arrived that stayed in place after he left and was able to continue giving people powers.
