Because books.

I wondered if it would cool/harden that quickly, but either way, it was a great scene.

'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"

At a Science museum, I once got to hold a small ingot less than two minutes after it was poured into a mold. Maybe half the size of a credit card and no thicker than a Hershey bar, so while it didn't have all that much to lose in the way of heat, it was still startlingly coolish. Startlingly heavy, too.

I really liked the Aerie trial by combat scene. It was a good counterpoint to Arya's dancing lesson, which was a good counterpoint to Sansa being petty and emotional.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Treme: loved seeing Tom C and Ripert, though I felt like my TV worlds were colliding. Not so happy if Jeanette stays in New York working for Ripert. As was said in the show, that's a good gig.

Art Crawl!!!

Will be watching Treme tonight. Excited to see TC and the Ripper.

I really liked the Trial by Combat scene.

I also loved that conversation that Ned had with his daughters where he tells Sansa that he'll find her somebody gentle, thoughtful and kind (blah, blah, blah) when she's old enough and she says, "I don't want (blah, blah, blah), I want to marry Prince Joffrey." I believe that Arya and I started laughing at the same time.

Always Anti-fascist!

He was good. "A friend of mine would really love you," was almost too much meta, but it was funny, so...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The United States of Tara has been canceled. I'm disappointed. This season has been great, especially with the addition of Eddie Izzard.

Sad to hear about "Tara", sj. I like it. I even have the beginning of a script I wrote for it(a holiday ep, here, somewhere.) Ah, well, it's all in the game.

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

Am I the only one who would have liked to hear where Septa Mordane came from?

I would have, too. She's more interesting on the show than in the books, probably because we mostly see her from Sansa's POV and Sansa isn't interested in her.

I also loved "Sazarac? Nice touch."
