I can't imagine watching this show if I hadn't read the books. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but even I struggle to understand who everyone is and I've read the books twice. Last night, King Robert's bastard child was introduced, just as I was beginning to wonder if they were going to leave him out altogether. Like the other characters, he is ( Read more... )

 How shallow am I for watching last night's episode in lieu of the coverage of Bin Laden's death?

However, I decided in the end that what I watched last night on television ( Read more... )

 I said i'd do this every week so here it goes.  I wish I had the patience to wait and watch 2 to 3 episodes back to back. This one flew by so quickly I couldn't believe it was over.

Mind you, I'm not saying see it or don' ( Read more... )

So ends my career at Borders. Today a supervisor called and told me not to come in tomorrow because there isn't any room on the schedule. As for next week, call them on Monday and talk to the manager since I'll probably be placed on an "on call" status. All very wishy-washy instead of just telling me that they won't be giving me any more hours and ( Read more... )

 No, I'm not going to speculate about the effect on publishing nor am worried about paper books going away. They won't go away, at least not all of them. I'm just going to say that in just a few days, I'm becoming a downright fan ( Read more... )
