My awesome friend Cori made our wedding cake for us.
After much debating (we decided that Caprica Six and Helo would make to bizarre of a couple, for one) we settled on having Richard and Kahlan from Legend of the Seeker to be our cake topper. But there are no LOTS action figures to be found! What’s a girl to do? Why, have the same magic friend make some custom fondant figures! And so she did!
Details are as follows: the sword that Drew is holding is painted with real edible silver, edible 14K Gold, and is adorned with a real Swarovski crystal. Ever the attention to detail Cori also made the ..read more
I was sitting around the house other day as my wife was in another city on business and my son was asleep. I was tired of Wii and have not had the internet hooked up yet.
That meant I got to dive into the DVD collection. Really it meant unpacking the DVD collection finally after moving in, but I was watching something as I did.
I settled on Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
All I know is that it was the right choice and it will always be the right choice. And it was as I watched the first disc of the collector’s edition that I realized that all ..read more
It seems I have my realms of geekdom.
I have my Browncoats. That itch I scratched last Thursday with our local Can’t Stop the Serenity screening.
Then I have my Wheel of Time. You might have noticed the overkill of posts over the last two months leading up to the release of The Gathering Storm, the twelfth book in The Wheel of Time books series. The series was started by Robert Jordan who passed away and is being finished by Brandon Sanderson.
And that Wheel of Time itch I got to scratch Monday night while serving as a Storm Leader at a Sanderson book signing for The Gathering Storm. It was ..read more
Okay, you might have noticed. I like The Wheel of Time and I might be just a bit excited about the latest installment coming out next Tuesday. That would be book 12, The Gathering Storm.
So excited in fact, that I have probably already made you roll your eyes and wish that I had not started yet another Wheel of Time post. So to date…
I have been named a Storm Leader for an upcoming Brandon Sanderson signing event for The Gathering Storm here in Salt Lake City.
GeekSix is running a contest for free copies of the first book of the series, The Eye of the World, and another Sanderson ..read more
Not too long ago Dragonmount and Tor Books ran a contest to choose these little things called Storm Leaders. And what these Storm Leaders are supposed to do is to lend their help to some local book signings by author Brandon Sanderson for the release of The Gathering Storm.
And what do you know? They go ahead and accept a lowly man named Jason from GeekSix to help out with the signings. And in the process get to meet Sanderson, get my book signed (like that wasn’t going to happen anyways), and give out lots of free schwag from Tor to the other fans who are waiting in line to ..read more
So Tor in their infinite wisdom has given GeekSix some awesome schwag. And that schwag is going to passed on directly to you oh GeekSix reader.
What is this schwag exactly? It is a copy of of Robert Jordan’s The Eye of the World (first book in the Wheel of Time series) and Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn (first book in the Mistborn trilogy). And we have three sets to give away to you. Keep reading to find out how to win schwag!
This giveaway is all part of Tor’s Fantasy Firsts giveaway. And on October 27, The Gathering Storm will be released. The Gathering Storm is the 12th book in the Wheel of ..read more
October 27.
It is a day I have been waiting for for about four years. Even more when a man named James Rigney, Jr. passed away in 2007. And even more when a man named Brandon Sanderson came into the picture.
This day? The release of The Gathering Storm, book 12 of The Wheel of Time series. So just about seven weeks until I get my hands on the one book I just have to have.
And now Tor, the publisher of The Wheel of Time series, has made available the first chapter of The Gathering Storm on their website.
I am at a crossroads with this first chapter release. Do I chance it ..read more
Well, in just about two months (November 7, 2009 to be exact), the door will be opening on a brand new, second season of Legend of the Seeker.
Seeker, based on Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series, saw its 22 episode first season capture a core audience despite it being only offered through syndication, on mostly weekends. And even then, mostly on The CW affiliates across the land.
But the good news is that soon we will have all new adventures of Richard, Kahlen and Zed, this time based around Goodkind’s second book in the series, Stone of Tears. And now we have our first look at season two.
If you ..read more
Last week we were treated to the news that a large number of cast for George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones pilot had been decided on. Among those were Jaime Lannister, Robb Stark and Daenerys Targaryen. Previous to that we had Ned Stark, Tyrion Lannister and Robert Baratheon.
And now, to round out the main cast, it is reported that 300 and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles star Lena Headey has been tabbed to play the twisted, demented and deadly beautiful Cersei Lannister.
Like the casting of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as her twin brother Jaime, she does not sport the Lannister golden locks….yet. But this is a choice I can get behind. The ..read more
As the casting process for the television adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones lingers on, a couple of more new names have been floated around as having been nailed down into roles. So good, some bad.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime Lannister
At this point, given what what I have seen of Coster-Waldau (most recently in the failed Fox pilot presentation of Virtuality), I am really not convinced that he is what most people envision as Jaime. Jaime is an arrogant pretty boy with golden hair and immaculate features. While Coster-Waldau didn’t step off the ugly bus, he really isn’t giving the golden Adonis vibe at this point.
