You know you’re down bad when you’re losing NNN to a bag of oranges.

Haha I always think “oh shit, what did I say this time?”

I always check them though. Most of the time they’re good.

I remember Conan O’Brian doing a joke about this. He said something like “Many people reported having explosive diarrhea after eating an entire family sized bag of Doritos with Olestra. Oddly enough, those eating a family sized bag of regular Doritos without Olestra… also experienced explosive diarrhea.”

He said it funnier, but that was the gist of it.

Just finished his 4 secret project books. Also just finished the first Mistborn trilogy with my son and started in on the Wax and Wayne series with him (I’ve already read them). I freaking love me some Brandon Sanderson.

Stormlight is my absolute favorite series. Yeah, Sanderson doesn’t write as flowery as some authors, but that’s not what I’m looking for. I love how he puts together a whole world with a new magic system, history, religions, political climate, etc. Then is like, alright so that’s what the world was like hundreds of years ago, now let’s see what happens when they get guns and spaceships!

I love the idea of Rothfuss planning all day, coming up with the perfect next chapter in his life’s work, knowing just how to wrap up the intricate threads he’s woven. Then he boots up his laptop, slowly stretches and cracks his fingers. Just before he opens up his word processor to record his beautifully crafted prose, he decides to check out Lemmy for a few minutes. Then he comes across a random comment of mine saying how his fans are frustrated at his pace of writing, and just goes:

Was this just dumb luck? Or was it in the news that he was on his death bed?
