Book 12 of The Wheel of Time series. Book 11 came out in 2005. The author, Robert Jordan, died in 2007 before the series was completed. Fortunately he left copious notes and instructions to go with what he'd already written. Brandon Sanderson has been contracted to finish the series off. There are two more books to go.
Genre: Fantasy.

Right, I'm off to read.......

Great film. It's worth it just to see Jimmy playing air guitar along to Link Wray's Rumble. Priceless :) He really loves music and it shows throughout the film. Jack White is an interesting character - his philosophy is that playing the guitar should be a struggle. Like Jimmy, he's heavily influenced by the Blues. Even The Edge had something to contribute.
The DVD is released on Dec 22nd. If you have any interest in music and what makes musicians tick, it's definitely worth watching. 10 stars. :)

Friday Fill-in

1. The crickets sing a noisy song.

2. Come out, come out wherever you are.

3. I want to get far away from the trick or treaters.

4. The Earth was healthy and all the people were happy; this was a dream.

5. But as for me I don't do Halloween.

6. The land of Scouse is where I come from

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to nothing special, tomorrow my plans include shopping for comfy black shoes to wear to my new job and Sunday, I want to maybe plant out the herbs!

Haven't been here for a while. Sorry.
Grand Final on Saturday - 2 sleeps away. Saints are in for the first time since 1997. They didn't win that time. They last won in 1966, in fact that's the one and only time they've ever won.
I arrived in Australia in 1967 and the Saints were the reigning premiers - good, I thought, I'll support them, they must be good. Barely won a game for the next 20 years. Haha. Figures.
But... you support a team, win or lose.
1997 was heartbreaking.
This year, they have a real chance. Playing Geelong, the best team of the last 3 years. But, the Saints are the best team this year - finished the home and away season with 20 wins, 2 losses. The 2 teams have played once this year in round 14. Saints by 6 points, one goal.
Bring it on!!
I haven't the words to express how excited I am.
Two sleeps.
GO SAINTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That empty feeling....
