You can read the first several chapters of The Tiger’s Daughter already; I think it looks really promising.

There are a couple of reasons for this. Being a show, Game of Thrones naturally doesn’t follow the book’s first-person format.

Pedantic, but: Ahmed’s got one Hugo nomination, for Throne of the Crescent Moon, but he didn’t win. (I think he should have, but.)

Nike is happy to use the two-hour marathon as a giant ad for its shoes, and they claim the athletes’ custom shoes made them four percent faster.

Many marathon courses—including famous ones, like London and Boston—do have a net elevation loss; times run on such courses aren’t record eligible either.

I’ll disagree with this. “The motions” of a relationship are what define it, more than any words can. I’ve been with my boyfriend for years; we never had the “are we dating?” talk, the “how serious is this?” talk, or anything like that. We grew into it, at first, and then made every step after that quietly,…

It’s a kiss. You don’t zoom in on the lips for any reason except to highlight that. But even still, to me, that’s not one of the more “canon-confirming” moments, when stacked against the constant casual intimacy and internal monologues about their love for one another. Finally, whatever Yuuri calls it, he buys Victor…

My initial reaction was to feel a bit let down. I suppose that’s natural, though, given that if there’s “too much” conclusion, you really don’t need a second season. So given that there’s—presumably—going to be one, there must be stakes. Can Yuuri win gold? Will they actually discuss their feelings, without eight…

This is—really, seriously—very cool.
