Day 6 - Fav. creature/beast/hybrid.
First thought: Oy. But Oy’s people, not a creature/beast/hybrid. So that being the case, I’d have to say the lobstrosities. *shudders* Face it, those things are freaky.

Day 5 - Dream cast for Roland.
The obvious answer is, of course, Clint Eastwood. So no. Instead, I’d go with Neil McDonough. When I watched Tin Man a few years back, as soon as he showed up, my first thought was, “Well, we now have Roland Deschain.”

Dark Tower 38 Day Challenge Day 3 and 4
Computer went wonky on me yesterday, so two entries today :)
Day 3 - Favorite antagonist and why
Randall mother-luvin’ Flagg, hands down. Yeah, he gets a completely weak ending of things, but the man (or whatever type of entity he is) is a total BAMF. His little chat with the Tik-Tok man at the end of Book 3 still brings a smile to my face.
Day 4 - Fav. original ka-tet member
For the...

Day 2 - Favorite protagonist and why

Stupid Frickin' Lannisters
I’ve read the books (well, the first one and am halfway through the second). I know what’s going to happen. But I was still so on the edge of my seat watching this last episode. I think Jon Snow said it best. “Joffrey is truly a little shit.”

Dark Tower Challenge Day 1
Day 1 - How did you get into The Dark Tower?
I must have started reading Stephen King stuff in 7th or 8th grade, not sure when. Early enough that I do remember reading the original version of The Stand during recess one day in 8th grade. So there I was, working my way through all of his stuff, grabbing a fresh book off the library shelf each visit. And then one day, The Gunslinger was the next...

1) Before they make this show, we really need to get Kristin to read some Discworld. 2) When they make this show, we really need to find a nice place to watch the torrented copies (since you know BBCA won’t show it to us) together. (PS - This is...
