Picked up a copy of the new Sonata Arctica the past weekend
“Stones Grow Her Name”. Been listening to it pretty much since I got home on Sunday. It didn’t instantly become a favourite or anything, but taking from past experience, some of the best Sonata songs require a few (dozen) listens before I really “get” them.
Favourite tracks so far: I Have a Right, Alone In Heaven, Wildfire II. Somewhere Close To You has potential, it’s really growing on me still.
Need to start paying some attention to the lyrics next…

Favourite swear word?
Uh… “Blood and bloody ashes”? I never really got the milk one, so…

A character you like, but most people don’t?
MAZRIM TAIM. I cannot fully express my love for him, there’s just no words sufficient for the task in the English language (or Finnish, for that matter).
And I will forever be bitter at RJ for making him turn out to be a baddie. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on…

Which characters in WoT would have been most annoying to babysit at age 8?
Eh… How precisely am I supposed to know? We don’t see any of them at the age of 8, for Light’s sake… But from what we do know about them, probably Matrim Cauthon.

Travel the Ways or spend the night in Shadar Logoth?
If I had Moiraine with me, spend the night in Shadar Logoth. I wouldn’t go wandering about and picking up random tainted daggers like our extremely clever ta’veren trio, so I’d probably be quite safe…
