So, I was absent from LJ for a year, more or less. Because I'm seriously ill. But, next Tuesday the doctors are trying to fix me by opening my body with sharp instruments and cutting away certain things.

While the painkillers mostly ruled my life for the last months I had some better moments and cached up on some pop culture and binge watched:

I hope everything goes well with the doctors!

YES ASOIAF. My favorite series for political psychology, I think! If you're looking for meta to take your mind off of things while you recover, I recommend Race for the Iron Throne and The Meereenese Blot.

Thanks for the well wishes. :-)

And double thanks for the recs. I have already read "The Meereenese Blot" and I'll read your other rec right... now! :-D

Thank you for your well wishes. :)

No need to be sorry about my reception of "The 100" - I agree with you that it is a fun setting, just a bit light despite the very heavy themes. Perhaps the new season will be better - we discussed the military angle before.

And, pray tell me what have you written on GoT? I cannot seem to find it on your LJ.

I'm so sorry to hear you're unwell. I truly hope for the best for your surgery.

\o/ for Orphan Black. And I've had to give up on GoT the show for trigger reasons, but I can co-sign books appreciation!

Thank you a lot. :)

I'm kinda looking forward to the surgery since life has become really shitty over the last months.

So, come the next season of Orphan Black we can hopefully geek out together over the show. :)

And, I hear you about the triggers in GoT (the show). It is quite hard to watch sometimes - extremely deliberate use of (sexualized/stylized) violence even in places where it is not necessary IMO.

So sorry to hear about your health troubles. I really hope surgery works out for the best.

And I hear you on both OB and GoT.

Thank you! :)

We'll talk about those shows in the future - hopefully we'll have nice things to say.
