We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

This site is kind of fun: My Mom Watches Game of Thrones. There's also a nice chart to help you with the different characters (with pictures of the actors).

And wow, I totally did not pick up on the Renly/Loras gayness in the books!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Um, I might be rereading the entire series in preparation for July 12th. Since it's weeks and weeks between episodes. SIGH

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm kind of ridiculously thrilled that my re-read of AGoT seems to have exactly caught up with what has aired on HBO as of last night (er, where I stopped reading last night caught up to Sunday's episode). Even Dany's story, I think.

I think it's July 12... or something like that. Not that I haven't been waiting on the book for like 5 or 6 years now.

::checks preorder::

Yep. July 12. I'm discovering with the GoT reread that I had forgotten a lot of detail, so I will probably try to read as many of the the rest as I can between the series finishing up and the new book coming out.

Nice review in the Kos, erika.

Your use of "namaste, motherfucker" made me laugh and laugh.

Always Anti-fascist!

Thanks, Frank. Sort of put that in as a shout-out...but it fits, too. (If it shows up on NR or something, I'd swoon like a Beatlemaniac teenager. But, no, that would be the day I blog about licking up Taco Bell "salsa" and bring shame upon my home and environs.) Given where I live, I should say "bring shame again," probably, huh?
