Cheesecake and The Name of the Wind

Hello.

Today, I have two things for you.

1. Cheesecake.

This is a very, very random thing, but I thought I'd tell you anyway, because you like cheesecake. Because you're the one who ever makes cheesecake anywhere where I am.
You probably didn't know this, but we're going with Iita to cook on a protu camp in a few weeks. On that camp, we have two vegans. I decided that I want to make cheesecake for the people there some day, but the problem is, that vegans don't eat cheese. Or anything else (like gelatin) that comes from an animal, in case you for some reason didn't know.
Anyway, that means I have to make a cheesecake without cheese there, and so I dug up a recipe for a vegan version, and tried it out.
I had to make it in an oven, which was weird.
Also, it wasn't as good as cheesecake made of actual cheese, instead of soy cheese and yoghurt. I'm not saying it was bad. The consistency was a little weird and it wasn't as filling as a normal cheesecake.

Yes, of course this was a very important thing to tell you. Now you know.

Also, in case you didn't know (though I think you said you'd check out the eurovision), the Belarus' song in this year's eurovision was called Cheesecake. It was about how a guy dumps a girl after he gets fed up with her calling him "my sweet cheesecake".

2. The Name of the Wind

As in the book.

I've told you about it. I've told you to read it.
You haven't.

Anyway, I decided to reread, because it's amazing, so I started reading it on Wednesday, and just finished it 20 minutes ago.
When I started reading it, I came to the conclusion, that a book has to be really (a word I use waaay too much) amazing, if you're jumping-up-and-down-in-your-chair -excited to be reading it again.
I also came to the conclusion, that it's weirdly different to read a book when you've met the author (in the World Fantay Con last November, I explained this to you. My mind is still a little blown.).

While reading it, I started wondering how it can be that I have forgotten so much of the great details in the book. It has inly been two years since I first read it, after all.

The point is, you should read it. Go read. Now. I promise it's better than what ever it is you spend your time reading off of the internet.
Because it is probably the best fantasy series I have ever read. Still waiting for the third one to come out, though.

It's so good that about a year ago 20th century Fox bought the rights to make it into a TV series. Which I am eagerly waiting to see hoping that they won't screw it up. Though I can't find any information about the TV series that would've come out since then. Or when the third book would be coming out either.

It's so good, that while trying to find info about when about they might be getting it on TV, I found a page that said this:

Well, fellow geeks, these books are so incredibly good, you should have your geek credentials revoked until you’ve read them in their entirety. Twice.

Which is true. I also found another page, that said this:

Rothfuss Fans, Your Time Has Come: The Kingkiller Chronicle Optioned for TV Series
Somewhere George R.R. Martin just felt a disturbance in the force.

Which probably isn't quite as funny as I think, going insane waiting for the next books for both series. But I can assure you, it is funnier than what you think, since you haven't read or watched either.

In short: I just want to go around blabbering about this to people but it's just me and mom and my ex-roommate who I know have read it, and no one else can really understand what I'm talking about, so that kinda limits my overpouring of excitement.
But...
...I forgot what I was going to say.
Probably nothing important.

I want to go start The Wise Man's Fear now.
No, actually I want someone to come eat my cheesecake.
I also want to know the results of the biology exam.
Oh, right, I probably didn't say anything about that last week. It was a week and a half ago on Friday. I have three more weeks to wait, and I have absolutely no idea how it went. It completely depends on if I happened to write down the things they were looking for. Though if they were looking for more, then no an do, because I literally wouldn't have had any room to say anything more to any of the questions. My own estimate is that I'll reach about the points that you needed last year to get in, but I might be giving myself points way too easily, or holding back on them way too much, so I really don't know.
So I'm going insane over that too.

And yeah, I know you got into a school, I was the one opening the envelope. So, no news there.

Now I'm gonna go.

PS. Go check acrossapuddle's GoogleDrive, I did a little something for the thing we talked about the other night.
