Must all Fantasy be EPIC?

First in a three part series...,book one of an epic story...,a story so epic even the author doesn't know when it will end..., blah, blah, blah...

I have decided that when a new fantasy novel is released, I am going to wait until the series is finished before I even give it a try.


A Song Of Ice And Fire. I don't know if it will ever be finished. Loved the first three novels, but was let down by the fourth. A Dance For Dragons will be out, well, who really knows? Only George R.R. Martin, and he ain't tellin'.

Wheel Of Time series. Robert Jordan died before finishing the last book. Brandon Sanderson may, or may not be a good writer, I really don't know, but he is not Robert Jordan, so the last book (actually three books)will be different.Unless Sanderson has Harry Keogh's abilities ( go wiki it).

Now, Steven Erikson has only two more books to go in his Malazan series, and it is the one series that I have invested myself in. But, anything can happen.I'm nervous, truth be told. What if something happens to him? That's it fucked. Oh, someone else may come along, but, he, or she, may try to copy Erikson's style, but, it won't be his unique voice.

Nervous Nelly, me.

As I understand it, whenever someone has asked Martin if he has the outline for the end of A Song Of Ice And Fire, he has declared that it is in his head.

3 things come to mind.

1. He is obviously joking and has an outline of the whole series written down somewhere.

2. He's writing it as he goes along and doesn't really know how it's going to end.

3. He is telling the truth.

If it is 3, then he has just shown how much he doesn't give a fuck about his readers. Surely he is aware of his age? Surely he is aware that some major health problem may, out of the blue, happen?


I mean look what happened to Rex Miller.


A Song Of Ice And Fire may never end.So why bother investing your time, and money in the series? What's the point? You probably will never know what happens to Tyrion, Jon, Arya, Brienne, or many other characters if what Martin has stated is true.

Maybe HBO will give Martin a nudge to finish the series? After all, they have greenlit a pilot and , if it is successful, will develop a series based on the novels.

If Dance For Dragons is finally released, I'll be getting it at the library, and reading it slow, because God knows when The Winds Of Winter will arrive.

Then again, there's that 2012 thing, so, fuck it, no more series. No need, we're all gonna die!

RIP Stan Winson

Sad news

This man created some of the most memorable creatures ever to grace the big screen. The Terminator, Jurassic Park, Aliens,The Thing,and many others.

He was only 62.

Rest In Peace.

New Bond-Devil May Care

I was looking forward to this, but, I think my expectations were way too high, because I was so disappointed.

Pedestrian is the only word I can use to describe Devil May Care. It just seemed like it went from one thing to another almost as an afterthought. I didn't really care for the characters, the plot, the so-called action. If I remember the blurb from the inside jacket, the publishers used the word "unbearable pace and tension"

Bollocks. It was unbearably slow, and there was more tension in The Clangers fer chrissake(whoops, showing me age there!).

Sorely disappointed. Maybe the next one I'll care about.

You don't know how weak you are until you move.

And boy, am I weak! Nerd weak. I'm so weak, I can't even lift me cheek to fart(which accounts for the really nasty skid marks)

But, really, why am I so weak?Why am I such a pathetic excuse for a human being? Why is it I have no talent whatsoever in anything? Most people seem to be good at something. Jack of all trades, master of none.Me? Jack of fuck all.

It does get me down. I feel so fucking inadequate, I wonder why I'm on this planet at all. I seem to be just taking up space.

All the men who helped us move picked stuff up with ease whereas I had an extremely difficult time. One other thing I've noticed. My fingers have no grip.It seems as though my fingertips are only good for fingerprinting, items just slide right out of my hands.

I do have one talent, I guess.

Sleeping.

I'm pretty good at that.

Self pity rant over, you may return to your work.

Moving.Stressed.

Moving out today.Going to a new apartment and all we have left is the big stuff. Can my back hold out? Do I have enough Tylenol?Will my ball sac drag on the floor after all this is over?

Stay tuned.

Don't forget! Final season of Battlestar starts tonight!

Can't wait, although it means another of my fav shows is ending.
And, so far, I haven't seen anything wortwhile to replace them.
