Turning Ups and Things

So interesting discovery today. The 11th book in the Wheel of Time series is set to come out. Last time I looked Robert Jordan was releasing a prequal and the end was nowhere in sight for the folks in the WoT universe. However the reviews note that book 11 is back to the original fast pace of the early books (say 1-5) and that it looks like the series may be imminently close to wrapping up (in X # of books where X is probably still a large number, alas). Two sad things, one, I've only finished book 1 and have no time to read books 2-10 much less #11, two, I am stuck with the crappy American artwork covers unless I decide to pay for British prices and ship overseas. Since I'm not going to get the books anytime soon I may hold off and hope that I am working back at the clinic fulltime and pony up for the decent covered books.
For comparison: Europe America.

Blah, we need better bookcovers here. Part of the reason I picked up book 1 in the Oxford St. Borders was that it looked cool.

A really odd thing when I was killing time in class today. Google has their new blog search mechanism up and I was doing one of the traditional time killers: searching my name. The single entry it turned up was none other then an old friend from high school. Small world. Anyhow, I need to manage links on here as it so after this post going to change that.

Mario Kart tonight. Eric and I are trying to re-organize the sessions of old despite it now involving 2 CAs (one a super senior), an ARC, and a senior. Scheduling's a bitch no two ways around it. I'm out.
