Food, Beer, and War


Well, tonight is a night to look forward to.

I'm gathering some of my favourite people up (those that can make it of course) for supper at a locla brew-pub. In fact, there's going to be 10 of us! Well, at the very most. I've got the reservations all set.

Following that, most of us will be off to see.....







Yes, we will be seeing Warcraft, which is based on the first-ever video game from the '90s, NOT the 2004 (and onwards) MMO, World of Warcraft. There's been love/hate reviews coming in, so I'll provide my own after I see it. What am I expecting? Not as bad as what the critics are saying, but nowhere near the Game of Thrones or The Lord of the Rings level epic that was promised. Perhaps as good as one of The Hobbit films. But we'll see. Who knows, maybe the beer from Big Rig will make it better than it really is. Look for my review this weekend [yes, I know I failed t deliver a few movie reviews here and there but this one I will definitely do.]

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
