i do not have a gentle heart

♠ Well, I know I've been terribly absent. RL has been kicking my ass, and I've actually been trying to be productive. However, I'm come down with some heinous cold so instead of going to uni I'm curled up watching Hawaii Five-0.

♠ Also, much as I have been out of fandom of late, I have a new obsession. A Game of Thrones. And, more specifically, ( Read more... )

Yup. The whole thing. It was pretty hardcore.

I highly recommend it if you want something live action. If the internet decides to fix itself up...I'd get on this one.

I love her. And Sean Bean. I'm torn between them as far as favourites go in this show. XD Have you seen Spartacus: Blood and Sand?

I love Jon Snow as well. Sooooo much angst. I haven't, should I put it on my list of things to watch?

DID YOU SEE THAT Dance With Dragons is FINALLY BEING RELEASED?!?!
Gah! I totally have pre-ordered it. Let's see, when Feast For Crows came out, he'd made us wait FOUR bloody years for it, and it had been split into two books: Feast For Crows and Dance With Dragons because of length. So basically, this new book had already been written, and approved for publishing, yet we still had to wait until July of this year for it ( ... )

Thankyou for the hugs! <3 RL is kicking my ass mainly in a good way, in the sense that I'm just very busy, but hugs are always appreciated. xD I am honoured that 'Flexibility' is still being reread...I've got about three weeks to go and then I'm on holidays, so we shall have to see what transpires when I have more time.

I did indeed see that. xD I actually really need to go back and read all the books again, because I read them a really long time ago and a lot of details are very sketchy. Hence I'm not really sure whether the show is measuring up to the books. :p It's certainly very graphic though; a lot more violent than I expected, actually, because I thought they'd want to try and make it palatable to a broader audience.

My one gripe (and I have the same gripe about True Blood) is the random gratuitous sex scenes with no relevance to the plot, but hey. I'll tolerate them.

I haven't seen this show and I don't have HBO so I don't know if I can, but I think I have a girlcrush on this actress! She's gorgeous.

I like that she hasn't succumb to either trope. Warrior women are all well and good, but I really appreciate femininity so I like women who are both strong and feminine. Too often femininity is sacrificed and women are portrayed as "mannish" because apparently women can't be strong without behaving like a man. :(

She is awesome. If you're happy to download stuff, you can get hold of torrents for it fairly easily. I highly recommend it if you want something new to watch. It's one of the few shows I care enough about to actually download each week/get excited about.

*sighs* Yeah, that makes me angry. It is possible to be feminine and strong at the same time, people.
