Edit 2 - Oh, and when's the third part of the Kingkiller chronicles coming out? Or has the series been cancelled?
It should be out in a couple years. He said he expects it to be a little quicker than the second one came out, but that was just this year so be patient.
But according to FantasticFiction, The Wise Man's Fear came out in 2008! Is that wrong? 😕
@turbopheonix - the rainbow obsidian does look exactly like what I want. Is there a bracelet version of it, so to say? Necklaces make me feel itchy 😛
@N0x_, story645- I thought of that, but I love my current watch too much, old as it is 😛
There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

In that sense, I'd say giant pandas have somewhat succeeded in a human-dominant world.
Oh yeah? Why are there like five of them left then?
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

Not exactly. I wanted something all metal or rock, something a tad more solid than the leather strap of my watch.

Yeah that is wrong. It was originally supposed to be released then but he delayed it. It actually came out in March of this year.

Already tried it. Actually, that was the first thing I did when I read 'rainbow obsidian'
I was asking for his personal opinion.
@ironskintribe - 😮 3 years!!!!!!!!!! 😲
Do these fantasy writers have a competition or something? I mean, it took Paolini four years to write each novel! Now this guy takes 3 years!
Damn 🙁

That's nothing, look at George RR Martin. Dance with Dragons was supposed to be released 7 years ago...not coming out until June.

Thank god I didn't start the series, even though I came close so many times : phew : I can't stand cliffhangers 😛

"Somewhat".
In any case, a couple were saying that they should be extinct by now, but they aren't due to human support.

It is an amazing series, you really should read it.
Also she meant I am the nerdy one, in basically every way.

I plan to, as soon as the next book is out. I loved the synopsis 🙂
Ah. Well, nerds rule the world now, so a toast to nerds! 🙂

I've found that to be a bit misleading... because there are so many different ideas of what a "nerd" is.
If we're talking about the stereotypically socially inept nerd, then we might have a bit of a problem on our hands, depending on how socially inept he/she is.
If we're talking about a nerd that just can't get along with other people, then those people generally aren't in the same class as the nerds who rule the world. 🙁
I don't mean to be a downer, just adding a bit of caution for the nerds amongst us not to be too comfortable with their technical proficiencies and neglect social interaction/perception. I've just seen too many self-proclaimed nerds disappointed after graduating high school and college too. Most of the guys who think things will be uphill for them (after being bullied throughout K-12 schooling)... that they will become rich only through their technical prowess... well, they will be in for a shock.
(Fortunately, I think it's not that hard for most of us. Most of being socially adept just amounts to being nice and considerate... and letting others think/know that you are nice/considerate.)

How do you motivate yourself to do something (important) you are absolutely totally completely unwilling to do?
