Draginon

I felt almost the opposite for Dalinar. I liked him since WOK and he was slightly dull in Oath, there were parts where I wasn't excited with what was happening with him, but did enjoy his backstory by the time it ended. Yeah it's like Szeth had a real conflict going on during the first two books, the struggle of being an assassin despite how he feels about doing the acts themselves, to be replaced with banter with Nightblood. I hope the hint, well statement, of revenge against the Shin doesn't turn into a head banging plot since those can be very annoying to read.

Yeah, seeing someone swearing all the oaths, not already have sworn them. Not even sure Nale should count since he's a Herald, meaning they should already technically be full Radiants.

When I was reading the interlude I kind of thought maybe that was where Odium's physical body was being held, similar to the prison for Ruin, but it being the hiding place of the Dawnshards would be interesting. It's also interesting that Aimia and Shinovar are so close with powerful weapons and if this theory is true then what would happen if one used a Honorblade on a Dawnshard? Maybe an experiment testing that caused the Scour?

Who knows, maybe when it's time for the 4th oath some, maybe all, Radiants have a hard time swearing it and it always takes time to get to it. Maybe Jasnah knew them for as long as we knew her and she finally swore them during Thaylen Field similar to how Kaladin knows the 4th oath but he's not ready to swear them yet... I do wonder if we'll see any full Radiants, as in swearing the 5th oath, by the end of the series?

Eshonai is the one I'm more interested in since I really came to like Venli over the course of Oathbringer. I'm thinking the flashbacks, despite being from Eshonai's POV, will show how Venli got to the point she's at when we see her in WOR and how these sisters became 'distant' As for Szeth, eh he's not my favorite character now. I liked him in WOK and WOR but he kind of bored me in Oathbringer. While I am interested in knowing the circumstances behind him becoming Truthless I don't know how much I do want to know about Shinovar. As for the future flashbacks I'm curious why Jasnah has the final book when it would make more sense to go Lift, Renarin, Jasnah, Taln, Ash. Maybe he discovers something Cosmere related that relates back to something from her past?

Mr. T by having the Diagram backfire on him big time. Moash definitely needs to die, though the one who should do it is Kaladin.

On vacation and had to put this down. Last night I rode the VR coaster at Legoland Florida and one of the employees broke my brand new glasses. I sat down in the vehicle, adjusting to a comfortable level to accommodate my glasses and was ready to put the headset down when one of the employees shoved it on and cranked the adjustable dial until I heard a crack from my glasses. I quickly started to loosen it but the ride had started just after so I didn't see the damage until the ride was over. Pretty much the left lenses had been popped out of the frames, these are a half frame type, but I did manage to pop it back in but now I'm going to have to get to a Walmart vision center to get them readjusted and make sure it's a fixable solution while I'm out here otherwise me and my mom are going to have to rush getting back to the house in a couple days. Oh and for those wondering why the park isn't footing the bill? They have a no responsibility policy where guests personal belongings are concerned.

Yeah, she's always doing this to me. It's to the point where I can't talk to her about anything serious without her taking some issue about it (when I like something and she doesn't it's apparently disagreeing with her for the sake of disagreeing, making me feel like any idea I have is stupid, hearing and not listening to what I say) so I can only stick to frivolous things like entertainment. My sister has given up trying to talk to her.

Just finished Oathbringer. Pretty good but did get a bit stale in places, some notable ones being the beginning of the flashbacks and the Kholinar sequences. Was originally planning to read some Disney books while on vacation but I don't really want to bring 3-5 books so I'm going to be reading A Game of Thrones.

Almost done reading Oathbringer so I don't have to haul that around on vacation. In other news my mom provided more evidence of having a victim complex. We were wrapping up the box containing my sister's Christmas presents, she lives in California so we're having to wrap it for the mail, and at a spot where the paper needed to be flat for taping down I go ahead and smooth it to the end where my mom's hand is and I stop about an inch away and she suddenly yanks her hand away. I was thinking she pulled her hand away to grab the tape but she glares at me and angrily says 'You going to apologize?' and I'm like 'For what?' and she says 'For stabbing me with your nails!' My nails are a little long but short enough that in order to stab anything with them I'd have to be able to feel it with my fingers and I never even touched her hand she claimed I stabbed. If I did touch her the part of my hand that would've touched her would've been the outside of my pinky, not the tips of any finger. All I can guess is she managed to cut herself on the paper and decided to play victim, again, to claim I hurt her. I'm a nonviolent person so I go out of my way to avoid hurting people and when I do I apologize right away, but I don't apologize to false claims of injury because it's wrong to apologize for something you didn't do. But with my mom whenever I've genuinely hurt her by accident and apologized she acts like I'm not being truthful at all! I can never win with that woman!

My mom is packing her pills for vacation and has spent the past hour trying to figure them out and is only just on the cruise portion of the trip. I mean how hard is it to divide pills between breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day? And she's making it harder by not wanting to carry the bottles since the cruise requires any medication and pills to be in the original containers. I mean people much older than her who take a dozen medications just to live can figure it out in a much faster time than she is doing.

Hey I'm just sharing her results. Me and my mom found it silly when she exclaimed "I'm Jewish!!!" in her text that my mom asked how that technically made her Jewish. Also take this issue with the DNA people, not the person receiving the results since it's the DNA research people putting Jewish down as a percentage result. I also don't know much about Jews and Judaism itself to even make a case about the whole Jewish percentage she got and she didn't specify if this was showing on the maternal or paternal side since this was the combined result. And just for the record her results were 99.8% European so you can figure out which section of the Jewish people she got since I don't know enough to know the differences the respect it deserves.

Recently my sister did a DNA heritage test, this wasn't 23&me so don't know how good the place is. Before telling you the results I'll put the ones we know about: On my dad's side we know it's British but nothing else. On my mom's side it's English, Scottish, Irish and German (this ones tricky since it's a region that's part of France today) Heres what her results said: British & Irish ~40% (she was surprised it was that large but in the breakdown it only showed England) followed by ~20% Scandinavian (this makes sense when you remember Viking and British history so I'm not that surprised), Western European (I don't remember the percentage but it was pretty big. We think this corresponds with the French/German side though it didn't break down by region), and with the surprise ones of ~9% Balkan (I could be remembering the percentage wrong but I know it was less than 20%) and 2.5% Jewish. The Jewish I guess makes sense since a majority of Europeans dallied a little with Jews at some point and with the percentage its a distant relative while the Balkan one the percentage means that, to me and my sister, a great grandparent was either from that region or descended from the people there. If you TL;DR that means we thought it was English, Irish, Scottish and French/German but the test says British (specifically English), Broadly Western Europe (this excludes the British Isles), Scandinavian, Balkan and Jewish.

Well I went down to Waco to Magnolia Table right after it opened and there was no wait. Last time I tried coming it was a 5 hour wait. Breakfast was good, mine having wheat berry toast, scrambled eggs, avocado, heirloom tomatoes and green while my mom have a more traditional breakfast. I put the tomato and avocado on the bread and it was so good! The greens, it was a salad really to be honest, were fresh and had an apple cider vinegarette on it. Then I went down to Round Rock to do some Christmas shopping for my sister. Also got some stuff for pirate night on the Disney Cruise in a couple weeks. Finally I picked up my new glasses. Want to get adjusted before Christmas.

This is more frustrating than anything. Yesterday me and my mom were waiting for our magicbands for Disney World to arrive, she got the mailing alert that they were on the way, and I kept checking nearly every hour until about 8 or 9 at night, having to throw a jacket on every time since it's about 30-40 outside at night, with no delivery coming. I checked again this morning around 9 and there was an envelope but no box with our bands. My mom decided to drive down to the post office and get it right from them. For reference this post office is incompetent and treats any inconvenience and complaint as a joke so when my mom got the box they tried to joke that she should try for the lottery since 'it was her lucky day' and the box was right on top of the other boxes in the back. This isn't the first frustration we've had with the post office since there are days where we don't get any mail delivered until 10PM (they claim we live on an unusual street. I don't think a street connecting to the main road is that unusual and the street is relatively short but here's the worst part, the older section gets their mail very early in the afternoon, starting as early as 1, followed by the side across from us. Then the mailman goes elsewhere for a while before getting to our side of the street late at night), a couple years back had our mail held on account of vacation and for whatever reason they delivered one package of candy and gift cards from my sister and it got soaked from rain so we had to trash the candy inside and they treated it like it was no big deal and lastly we've gone in to mail packages and they act like we're inconveniencing them. And yet they always say they're understaffed. Gee, I wonder why with the idiots currently running the joint.

Gotten a couple items from Black Friday deals. Got both Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey for about$25-$30 each which is good considering how new Odyssey is. Also found by chance the BBC miniseries of Hitcherhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Barnes & Noble had Fire & Blood for 40% off for members and if you buy it you get a Pop of Georgie himself half off so I got a great deal here, especially considering it's not even a week old book.

Didn't ask any questions but I did do the picture And my personalized Skyward Also had him sign Steelheart and Firefight (already own a presigned Calamity). Was also going to have him sign Legion but when I got back to the hotel after picking up my copy of Skyward and Legion I discovered Murder gave me a presigned one so that was done. Not sure if I'll come back if Starsight tour comes here just to have a break from being a sardine. Definitely will come back for Stormlight 4, especially if it's at a different venue. Still hoping he does Dallas area for a future book.

Got my books picked up. Just waiting until time arrives.

Got a partial birthday present from my sister. It was D.C. Comics "The Button" collecting The Batman #21-22 and The Flash #21-22 which leads up to Doomsday Clock and she also got The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Nemo Trilogy. I've yet to read the main events of either comics but I have seen the League movie.

We all have our interests and likes and tend to recommend stuff to someone else so they can enjoy it as well. Well simply put have you ever been recommended a book, movie, show, play, etc that you didn't enjoy afterwards? The only one I can think of right now is Firefly. This sale rep at Barnes & Noble had talked me into watching this show. I watched the whole season and movie and just couldn't find something I liked about it. Heck when the characters died in the movie I didn't even cry or get upset about it like I do with other stories.

And if the Highstorm goes east to west and the Everstorm goes west to east which direction would a Cultivatestorm go? North to south (with a slight tilt to get all of Roshar)? Stay in place but covering the entire continent?

Haven't been posting anything lately on account of finally reading Oathbringer. Anyway Google Translate Sings has a new song: i could get behind a plague like that.

New episode of Doctor Who: Arachnids in the UK. I don't have arachnophobia but these spiders definitely scared me. These things were huge ranging from small dog to bathtub to BALLROOM SIZE!!! I hope that Robertson fellow returns because he needs to be taken down before the 2020 elections by exposing him as causing problems (he was responsible for the spiders being so big by not having the waste disposal people do their jobs properly)

Just watched the newest episode of Doctor Who, episode 3 Rosa. It was kind of hard for me to watch because this was about Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott and so it had all the racism to go with it. I didn't really like Ryan and Yaz being treated horribly by the locals from Ryan being slapped by a white man for daring to give his wife her dropped handkerchief and Yaz being called Mexican when she's British Pakistani, not even Martha or Bill got that treatment. Even the baddie was a racist, though why a human from the far future (he was in Stormgate prison which is quite a few centuries in the future) would still be hung up by skin color is never answered, because 'everything started going wrong' the moment Rosa refused to give up her seat. It was nice that Graham and the Doctor stood by their friends despite the hostility of the locals.

@Sorana I can't understand the whole "You're a woman, you can't do..." mentality. It's not like having two mounds on ones chests makes one less capable than someone with a sausage. Heck at my workplace I've encountered plenty of men that refuse to do any heavy lifting, quite a few were the type built for that, so that mindset is so stupid and right out of 1185. But I also can't understand the whole "You have to treat me better, I'm a (insert gender)" like everyone has to treat you better just because you're a man or a woman since that attitude is a type of misogyny since it's about putting your own gender as better (which is what that guy you're describing is do by practically saying that men are better and women are meek housewives)
