I spent the day at George Mason U for their "Fall into the Book" event featuring Davina Porter and Diana Gabaldon.
Hundreds of Outlander fans!
I had a lovely moment with Davina and Diana was a hoot. A well scripted hoot, but fun none the less.
She read a bit from the 9th (!) book, which was thoroughly entertaining.
I'm not a huge fan of the show, but may have to give Season 2 a try.

Did she disembowel a fanfiction author on stage?

No disembowelment but some acerbic comments about lots of people/things.
She has done lots of these things, it's obvious.
Still...entertaining.

American Gods': Bryan Fuller and Loretta Ramos
We went to House on the Rock last week ‘cause that’s a big part of the book. David Slade is so technologically precise. If you haven’t been to House on the Rock and you have a weekend, seriously, it’s the coolest thing I’ve done on this continent. It’s in Wisconsin, and it’s a weekend trip. You fly in on Friday night, stay at the House on the Rock Resort, and then you spend all day Saturday at the House on the Rock. You’ll be glad you did. You will not have any other experience like it. I went to one room where they have the largest inside carousel in the world and my eyes were stinging ‘cause it was such a primal childhood joyous experience. You’re inside imagination, in such a great way. The house was built by this guy who got money from his family. He would basically get high every day and say, “I’m going to build a giant whale wrestling with a squid,” and it’s there and you can go see it. So, take a weekend and go. You’ll love it. We were there and David was photographing it to figure out how to photograph it for the show.

He may not be my bitch, but he's making me feel very bitchy.

There is something weirdly phildickian about george r. r. martin's current predicament. his life has become a public dramatic narrative about his race to complete a public dramatic narrative that - though clearly intensely personal and individual - is simultaneously being worked on in another medium by a competing team of writers who may complete it before he does, even though he himself has not fully discovered it yet.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm in that set of people that have read the books, but not yet watched the series. In my concept of completeness I thought I would finish the book series first. Oh well, I would have preferred that Martin had finished his work before the televised series even began, but they failed to ask me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My only concern about that is being spoiled for the books by the TV show, but there has been enough divergence that I am not worried about that. George can take his time, no need to rush on my account.
Phildickian is a great adjective.
That said, I did enjoy the "ask him what George RR Martin is doing right now" bit on iZombie.
