Littlefinger has control of the least-damaged 'kingdom' of all, nominal control over the Riverlands, a nearly-impregnable defensive position (to all except the zombies up north) and several aces up his sleeves...and control over his transferred crush (:gonk:).

Not to mention that he's about to launch a scheme that'll grab him control of the North and probably cement the remaining resistance in the Riverlands to him via Sansa's ancestry. Control over three kingdoms is pretty drat impressive.

Football? I met up with Peyton Manning last week. No big deal. Nicest guy ever. Not a Nice Guy though. Told him about GRRM. Everything. Work ethic, shitdick, desire to fondle Eli Manning. Peyton was disgusted, and cancelled his trip to New York, pulled the Jets offer right off the table.

Then Mark Sanchez got extended. You can thank me later.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

GRRM was in Toronto this past weekend being interviewed by the Space channel. I'd upload the photo, but imgur is being a dipshit right now, so trust me; it was grrim.

I need tips for how to advance in video games while I'm in school periods.

After I leave from school and go to my house, I do my homework and everything, I even read one or two chapter of Game of Thrones. Then I start playing video games. My problem is that I have so many long games worth spending time right now (like Skyrim that I've not finished yet and AC: Revelations), that I cannot seem to find a way to distribute time to each of the games, with the few time I have.

I sometimes feel like I finish too late games compared to everyone and it's kinda frustrating.

Maybe it was a gift from Terry Pratchett. Maybe as a sign to the GURM that he might want to actually start writing before he dies.

Every time I see a picture of GURRM I recoil in instinctive horror. I have no idea how either of those people are controlling themselves long enough for that photo.

Maybe it's the snake and the bird thing. He sees you and you just fall into his black, beady eyes and the next thing you know you're waking up in an alley covered in lard and lemon custard and lying in a sea of your own bloody feces.

No he says he won't read the books at all (or at least until HBO is done with the series) to keep his perspective as close to a new viewer as possible.

Heard GRRM doing an interview on NPR last night, and holy God, the man says Yuge and Yuman and other awful dropped H pronounciations. His worst crime against Yumanity, as far as I'm concerned.

The bluray features were the first time I've seen him in motion/speak.

Chilling stuff.

This owns.

8 episodes of Joffrey abusing Sansa and being a horrible monster, to the dismay of everyone, then in Ep 9 we finally get the huge battle where Joffrey finally gets what's coming to him... And he WINS.

And then Ep 10 they burn down Winterfell.

The butthurt is going to register previously-unthought levels.

(oh, and Dany literally does nothing)

He also talked about angry and impatient fans, and how he sympathizes because he had to wait 8-9 months for The Two Towers to come out as a kid.

He implies Wow will be a shorter wait than both Dance and Feast.
