The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and go....
by HintOfLime ineach night i draw closer to completing towers of midnight.
i'm on page 918 or so right now, and somehow it makes me sad.
i started over from the beginning about 8 months ago (this is my third time through the available canon), and i'm nearly through everything published up to now.

New To Wine - Looking for Suggestions
by HintOfLime inusually, in the evenings i like to relax, watch a movie or a comple tv shows, and sip on some vodka.. lately, however, i've gotten into reading again - and vodka just isn't the right drink.
the characters in the books are often read of drinking this wine or that - which has given me a bit of a craving for a good red wine.
something relaxing, and easy enough that it doesn't get you buzzed after a few sips (inhibiting my ability to read, etc.).

"God is Love" vs. "Mentally Diseased" vs. Pink Lingerie
by HintOfLime inall this discussion about the 'mentally diseased' comment the wt made got me thinking.... is that not exactly how it starts?
the de-huminizing of other people?
when the protestants began to reform from the catholic church - where did it start?

New Holy Writings
by HintOfLime inhave the complete "holy writings of god" been discovered?.
is it possible that there are still "legit" holy writings - possibly with completely contradictory information - yet to be discovered?.
how does one determine what is 'holy' vs. 'the writings of man'?

What is there to hide? 100% Transparency.
by HintOfLime inwhy doesn't the wt provide 100% transparency?
what does "god" and his "faithful and discreet slave" have to hide from anyone?.
mind you - non-religious non-profit organizations are doing it.

Who is your hero?
by HintOfLime inpersonally, as a computer programmer, my hero is a bit odd perhaps - gordon ramsey.
i think gordon ramsey is awesome.
no nonsense - he tells boring, lazy, mediocre people that they are mediocre, and passionately tells them what they are doing wrong... because he wants them to do better.
