  • Depends who you ask.

    You my boss? It’s the work. And I was in IT.

    Wife? The kids.

    Kids? Because I like the smell of White OutTM.

    Just kidding. I don’t actually say those things, I make better jokes but I can’t remember them anymore because my face caught up and nobody asks anymore.

    In my case it’s genetic. I started getting greys in my early 20s and was fully grey by 30. This happened to my father. This is seemingly happening to my son. But only one of two biological sons yet the other has curly hair like my father that me and the other platinum child don’t have at all.










  • The best way I could describe Randland (an informal term for The Wheel of Time setting) would be a less dystopian Middle Earth.

    It’s a larger and happier - and even more pure in a non-earthly-religions sense. In a good way. But there’s still world ending conflict, it’s just - incoming controversial opinion - better than Middle Earth.

    It’s a massive world and worth every word read. It’s a lifelong re-read for me, and I don’t even re-read LoTR.

    There is a similarity to Midworld and its relation to Earth in the series, but it would be spoiler-y for me to elaborate.

    It’s very much The Hero’s Tale. Village - Adventure - Save the Cat. But it’s how it should be.

    Edit: the show is not a place to start. Not slagging it, but it’s incomparable to the books. Best experience is the OG audiobooks narrated by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, not Amazons re-recorded rights grab.
