I think that's had it's day now. You hungry bastards.
I'm thinking about getting tickets for Lady GayGay next week. What was the last concert you went to and how was it?
Alt. Lunch? I have a highly nutritious Uncle Ben's Tikka Snack Pot and some grapes (of wrath)
AltAlt. Watching anything good on the tellybox at the moment? I've just started watching fringe and am up to Series 4 of Dexter. Enjoyable.
AltAltAlt. You OK Kroney bbz?

Some of it is really hammy. It strikes me as a wank-fantasy written by LARPing B3tans.
But some of the sub-plots are alright, and some of the characters are good.

Having read all the books I can conclude two things
a)I'm now thoroughly convinced he got in over his head, wrote too many characters and too many divergent plotlines and now won't be able to bring them all to a satisfactory conclusion

The book adds to the telly show and visa-versa, I really love them, and I hate fantasy stuff.
But the telly show is much easier than the books, which are quite hard work (but worth it I reckon)... I can't stand Bran and Catlin's chapters in teh book, but put up with them for Tyrion.
I'm half way through the hungry games trillogy and then i'm gonna do book 4; all other books suddenly are well easy now in comparison.
