Towers of Midnight Trailer

This past weekend at DragonCon, Tor released the book trailer for Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson (Book Depository, Powell’s Books, Indiebound).


As far as book trailers go it’s pretty decent. A bit overdramatic and a bit low budget, but not bad if a bit narrow in scope. As a long-time fan of The Wheel of Time I liked it (even though I’m one of those fans that wishes Moiraine were dead and gone).

Of course after the book trailer you inevitably come to the cover art.


Ouch!

Some Links (‘Cause I’m Bored)

I’m pretty bored, so here are a few things that have grabbed my attention in the last few days.

• Author Jim C. Hines has decided he needs a nemesis and is taking applications

• Real zombies in Time Magazine

• China Mièville in the Wall Street Journal (which I find funny in an ironic way)

• And because I loved V as a kid – the trailer for the new show:

In Honor of the new Land of the Lost: She's a Sleestak

As a kid I loved Land of the Lost. As a young adult (well, even now), I loved Nerf Herder's music. So, here are the lyrics of one their more amusing songs - She's a Sleestak.


The whispers in the hall never bother her at all,
Or the laughter from the boys in the gymnasium,
Frauline Mueller is alarmed at the scratches on her arm,
And the German homework is late again,

oh no, She's a Sleestak
She's a Sleestak
She's a Sleestak
She's a Sleestak

The neighbours are concerned about the bruises and the burns,
And the seaweed smell that comes in from the rain,
And there's something wrong with the Johnson's lawn,
Someone says "Honey, have you seen the cats today?"

She's a Sleestak
She's a Sleestak
She's a Sleestak
She's a Sleestak
