The reason why I love Jaime Lannister, in George R. R. Martin's words.
Perhaps Stannis Baratheon and the Starks had done him a kindness. They had spread their tale of incest all over the Seven Kingdoms, so there was nothing left to hide. Why shouldn't I marry Cersei openly and share her bed every night? The dragons always married their sisters. Septons, lords, and smallfolk had turned a blind eye to the Targaryens for hundreds of years, let them do the same for House Lannister. It would play havoc with Joffrey's claim to the crown, to be sure, but in the end it had been swords that had won the Iron Throne for Robert, and swords could keep Joffrey there as well, regardless of whose seed he was. We could marry him to Myrcella, once we've sent Sansa Stark back to her mother. That would show the realm that the Lannisters are above their laws, like gods and Targaryens.
My panties may have dropped for Jaime Lannister on page 287. (Not like he'd take advantage of it.) My only regret is that Myrcella isn't around to take part in this.
I'm only doing one tag for this, because this particular tag is relevant in SO MANY WAYS.
Oh yeah, we had a snowstorm. Like, a six-inch snowstorm. For reference, I live in the temperate Mid-Atlantic, and while frost isn't unheard of this early, a major snow event...is. The last time it snowed at ALL in October was in 1952 - my mother wasn't born yet, and my dad was 1 1/2.
It was pretty, though. Unfortunately, I may have mentioned that I live in the Mid-Atlantic. We have a lot of deciduous trees here. This is supposed to be peak viewing season for leaves - meaning, that although the leaves have turned, they're still on the trees.
One tree at the front of our complex didn't survive - it snapped in half along the trunk.. A lot of towns - I think Essex County got socked, and up where I live (central Bergen), a lot of places got knocked out) - have no power.
