more on storm of swords
Sep. 1st, 2011 10:03 amVery chatty about the books all of a sudden.
Finally got the Samwell POV--why can't I just adopt him and take care of him?
( Also, more spoilers for the first quarter of the book )

clash of kings/storm of swords
Aug. 31st, 2011 12:54 pmSpoilers for about a quarter of the way through the third book
So, I freaking love this series. I love it so much more than Wheel of Time--and though it may be blasphemous to say, much more than LoTRs.
( My thoughts, they are Random and Disconnected. )

game of thrones: episodes 7, 8, and 9
Jun. 12th, 2011 09:53 pmI watched episode 7 so long ago. It was on HBO Go right after episode 6. I was so morose that episode 8 wouldn't air for two weeks, that I couldn't summon the energy to write about it then. So silly. So now, here's a glut of random disordered thoughts. Yay?

a clash of kings
Jun. 2nd, 2011 02:20 pmDespite the fact that I should only be reading bookclub books right now, I've leaped into A Clash of Kings.
I'm only at the prologue so far, but I had to make a comment.

a game of thrones: the book
May. 30th, 2011 04:43 pmSo, after watching episode 7 last week, I flipped out about what was going to happen next, and burned through the entire book.

you heard it here first
Apr. 25th, 2011 06:36 pmSomeday I'm going to buy a house with a big yard so I can have a direwolfNorthern Inuit doggie or two. I've always loved big dogs and the show is making me crazy in a way that I don't normally go crazy when I see big dogs.

a game of thrones: episode 2
Apr. 24th, 2011 10:20 pmSo, Sarah and Neel are going to come over on Sunday nights to watch A Game of Thrones. I've been twitching for them to see it, because it's so fucking awesome. We'd met up for Easter brunch and hung out at their place. Then we came over here, I threw some stuff together for dinner, and we watched the first episode and then the second one which aired tonight. Really looking forward to watching this with them.
(I got to serve them that strawberry icebox pie, and Sarah's comment, "It tastes like summer." made my night. I was worried it was too sweet. Though I think this is the best I've done on a pie crust, which is something I generally struggle with. And as much as I'm psyched to watch AGoT with them, I'm also excited to come up with Sunday night dinners for these nights!)
( Nothing but massive spoilers here. Including spoilers from how the book varies from the show, fyi. )

a game of thrones: episode 1
Apr. 17th, 2011 08:48 pmI've loved so many HBO shows, it's almost puzzling that I haven't sucked it up and ordered it before now. In a way, I'm sort of glad I hadn't. Because it allowed me to enjoy things like Rome, Deadwood, The Wire, etc --in uninterrupted gluttony. This whole watching week-by-fucking-week is going to be brutal!
I never read the series. I'd bought the first book and was going to read it when I read that GRRM mercilessly slaughtered primary characters left and right. As much as I can applaud that in theory (because why should only irrelevant characters die, right?) I hated the idea of getting close to a character and then poof--dead.
I had started on Leigh'sre-read, since I hadn't planned on being able to watch AGoT for like a year or more when the dvds would come out. But now I think I will put a halt to that. No better way to ruin the cinematic adaptation than having the written characters too fresh in your mind.
( Spoilers, obviously. )
Anyhow. This waiting totally sucks, but I'm excited to have HBO. (Catching up now on True Blood S3 and hope to see season 1 of Boardwalk Empire soon!)
