My hunter, Lostrauko with a new pet and new transmog.
The new pet is Gara, tamed using this guide and also using wowhead. A pretty good quest with a good amount of story.
My new transmog is based around the Ghostworld Chestguard, Shoulders of Misfortune, Fiery Obelisk Handguards, Deathweb belt, Bands of Anxiety, Darkcore Leggins, Boots of the Perilous Seas, and Shield-Shatter Longbow
So I’m gonna pick Diaz, McMann, Lauzon, and Woodley for tomorrow.
Going with Diaz because its Nick Diaz and I always will pick him. I think McMann will out everything Tate. Lauzon because he’s Joe Lauzon and has probably the most performance of the night bonuses in the UFC. And I’m picking Woodley because he made weight (Gastelum was over by 10 pounds) and I think Gastelum isn’t ready for top contenders yet.
Buffy and Angel for sure.
The child who refuses to travel in the father’s harness, this is the symbol of man’s most unique capability. “I do not have to be what my father was. I do not have to obey my father’s rules or even believe everything he believed. It is my strength as a human that I can make my own choices of what to believe and what not to believe, of what to be and what not to be.
The worst thing about wishes is that sometimes they come true
I just finished up Children of Dune last night, I like that it was narrated mostly by 1 person and it was well done. I also think it’s a good place to stop because it’s a well done trilogy of books. I’ve read good things about God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune but it ends on a cliffhanger and it’s also the last of the dune series written by Frank Herbert before he died. Because of that, I think Children of Dune is a good place to stop because it tells a pretty good story and Muad’Dib arc.
So in February I will definitely jump into the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy by Richard K Morgan which I’ve read good things about on the various subreddits I am subbed to.
Silva vs Diaz this Saturday.
Can’t wait.

You stand in a valley between dunes. I stand on the crest. I see where you do not see. And, among other things, I see mountains which conceal the distances. And danger may come from behind the mountains. But whatever comes from behind the mountains must cross the dunes.
It’s that time again, and this month, as I said in a earlier post, I picked up Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. With the internet being as good as it is now, I was able to download it quickly and I am already listening to Dune Messiah.
I like it because it’s in the same style as the Dune audiobook, its done by a cast of people and its done well.
I’ve read the books already and I like being able to compare the experience. I’ve come to prefer audio books now because with a good narrator/performer it really adds to the story, making it easier to visualize and imagine.
Joe Hill said that, his comments at the end of the audiobook for N0S4A2, he says that having a story told to you hits a primal note that makes it a natural human experience and that a well read audiobook is a literal treasure. I am in strong agreement with that because of all the well read series’ of books from audible I’ve picked up over the last year or so of my subscription. The Dark Tower series is read very well by George Guidall and Frank Muller, The First Law trilogy read by Steven Pacey as well as Michael Page for the stand alone books are good as well, The Dresden Files is excellently read by James Marsters (to me each book read by him is better than the last), and The Song of Ice and Fire series is read excellently by Roy Dotrice.
I am also liking how well done this Dune series is now. I am pretty happy with the purchase of Dune Messiah and Children of Dune and I will also probably pick up God Emperor of Dune. I’ve been reading that the sort of Dune Trilogy (Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune) is good and a good place to stop as well.
Right now though, I am interested in Takeshi Kovacs Trilogy by Richard K. Morgan, especially the first novel in the series Altered Carbon which is hard boiled cyberpunk story that I am eager to hear. I’m kinda on a sci fi binge at the moment (the last couple of months at least) and cyberpunk is interesting to me. So I will probably be picking up the first 2 books in the series in february.
