    I was at uni yesterday at place called Leeds Metropolican University (in Manchester England) and there ws a huge sign in the foyer which said:

    ''You'll be well met at Leeds Met''

    Love it ! Of course it could just be a coincidence but I like to think perhaps a DT fan took the opportunity to reference it?

    I never really thought about it until today, but my middle name is Blaine, I was born on the 19'th, and my uncle's name is Roland.

    It all just hit me at once.

    Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"

    Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”

    Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”

    The day before yesterday (Dec 18 ) I checked the missed calls in my phone and found out that Alexander had called on Dec 19. This back-to-the-future call surprised me, and I re-checked the time and date settings in my phone. It insisted it was the 19th, for a reason I don't dare to guess at. I wonder how often it does it; should check more often. Maybe it makes it the 19th every time it thinks I'm not looking.

    Why thank you, all.

    If any more coincidental bombshells hit me, I'll be sure to post them here.

    Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"

    Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”

    Default 2 things

    i was looking up the religion Saneteria on wikipedia, and saw that there are these women called the Mothers of Orisha, and i immediately thought of the Daughters of Oriza.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santer%C3%ADa

    Also, in Jakes essay, My Understanding of Truth, at the beginning there are 2 quotes:

    I will show you fear in a handful of dust -T.S. (Butch) Eliot
    My first thought was, he lied in every word. -Robert (Sundance) Browning

    The nicknames of these 2 authors are not legit, however. I think Steve just wanted Jake to reference Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in the essay. Mayhap this is just because of the western theme of the series.


    I just heard "Tower Lane" on TV while typing this.

    I think King had his tongue firmly in his cheek with those titles*. A way of marrying those authors with the western-like setting of In/Mid-World.

    I've never heard of Saneteria. The mixture of African religion and Catholicism reminds me of Voodoo though.

    *I had 'Jake' in place of 'King' when I first wrote that sentence. But then I remember Jake didn't remember much of what he wrote.

    On saturdays, i ride the bus to and from the local fairgrounds. Always, on the way back, i notice a house on the side on the side of the main street, with simply the number 19 nailed in big numbers on the side of the house (and of course i envy the people who are lucky enough to live in lovely little house #19). And always, right after i see that house, there's a sign on one of the streetlights indicating "MILE 19". Later, on this same bus route, i pass a dental clinic, advertising checkups for $19.00. Then, of course, the last sigul, you might say, i pass on my way home is a flower shop, where the big main sign is centered with three pictures of a rose, in three stages of blooming.

    My significant other also happens to be 19 years old. c: (too bad he was born on the 20th, eh?)

    I was researching a list of colors for a graphic job of mine, and I bumped into a color called 'Mordant red 19'. It's definitely a hue of crimson. And Mordred-like.
