omg, have I read Terry Pratchett's books??? My last cat's name was GREEBO! (and yes, he was a VERY masculine male cat, who while I had him nearly put out his eye, perhaps to better look like his namesake -- I had him 18 years) I still miss the surly bastard. ;`(

Yeah, and author getting hit w/ Alzheimer's is rough. One of my favorite comedic sci-fi authors, Douglas Adams died of a heart attack years ago. I swear I broke out in tears when I heard. People think all he ever did was write The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but he did so much more. One of my all-time favorite books of his is called "Last Chance to See," about endangered species. Your description of the biography of Pratchett comes very close to how I'd describe "Last Chance to See." It's so sad reading about these poor animals, but somehow you find yourself laughing hysterically at the strangest times. The red tape they run into, their attempts to communicate w/out a Chinese dictionary, etc. omg, the book is lovely. And I SO WANTED AN AUTOGRAPHED VERSION AND HE DIED!

Are you at all familiar w/ Stephen Fry? He does QI, was in Jeeves and Wooster w/ Hugh Laurie, plus like a gazillion other things. Anyway, he retraced Douglas Adams steps w/ the same National Geographic biologist 20 years later to check up on the same species, to see how they faired. They did a video series about it. I've got it on DVD, but I can't bring myself to watch it because I know at least one species didn't make it. (I'm a wuss, I know). :(

What kind of shows do you normally watch? I totally love sci-fi/fantasy, although when it comes to sci-fi in books, I've never liked the stuff that is filled w/ techno-babble, as I call it. I'm not much of a reader these days. There's so much to consume elsewhere. I know that's lazy, but...

As to my wiki name, it's from the SciFi series Farscape. My game name is AerynSun or just Aeryn, from the same series, but I've had to change it so many times, asking (nay, PLEADING) people to stop charging my trophies. They still do. I thought people knew that WLorFixers meant "Wish List or Fixers" or have I messed up again?

As to the game. I have to say you are the VERY FIRST to say anything nice about being on a Kindle! Everyone else keeps referring to glitches, but they never get specific as to what those glitches are, which is more than a little frustrating.

I've got fixers on my WL just trying to make sure I've got enough for now and the future. I'm not really lacking for anything, but more can't hurt, right? I've got plenty of those Magisterium talismans (think they could've come up w/ a name that didn't sound so much like Magister-level, right?) so I can craft to my heart's delight to get all the low-level fixers. I've got something like 80+ each of the mask/pot/ladder/etc, and I think 100 of the fan/bird for a "break in case of emergency" situation.

I've heard about Kindle TT'ing, but not really sure what it accomplishes.

I'm not really sure what thread you're referring to.

Oh, I NEVER charge trophies, and I wish people would stop charging mine! I charge Premium locations based on rank and puzzles if they're black or red. Sounds good to you? Lemme know if not.

Take care!
