Sam Weber, apparently, has illustrated all my favorite book covers ever. This is his vision of Rand al’Thor from The Wheel of Time series. Drool!

 The unfired gun.

Terminator 2, staged entirely with dialogue from Shakespeare’s works. Like I need to tell you anything more.

I have too many books! I’m giving them away! HELP!

The colors on the screen are harsh; pastel in that Western way. Hot green grass, pink dress, a car so black it radiates with blue. The American president holds one hand in greeting while his wife gapes at us. She is perpetually frozen in that fake, wide-mouthed laugh you make for people you have to impress.

And then his head whips back. Her laugh morphs to a soundless scream. The picture freezes. It’s fuzzy, but on the side of his face is this glimmer of gore—like a wink, a promise. The air around us thins as we all suck in our breath.

I LOVE ARRESTED WESTEROS SO MUCH.

Also, the Foggy Bottom: served in a paper cup, and the bottom falls out before you can finish.

Sadly we won’t be able to attend this year, but I must say—for people-watching alone, GenCon is tough to beat.

An obvious must for that day when I can finally buy an 1890s stained-glass-accented townhouse in Capitol Hill.
