This was quite enjoyable. I love the fact that HBO made ASOIAF so big that College Humor is actually doing videos!

Thought you’d enjoy this.

I’m not an RPG person but I would be so down with this shit.

A DANCE WITH DRAGONS...FINISHED
So…I did it. Time to wait for the next book and figure out what I feel about the various plots that have continued to develop. I will not post any spoilers on here until August, so don’t worry about it until then. I will post a reminder that I might begin to comment on events in Dance before that, so you’ll be warned. Otherwise, good luck on your own conquests of the series. Hope...

DANCE WITH DRAGONS TOMORROW!!!
I CANNOT PUT MY EMOTIONS INTO WORDS! I AM SO EXCITED! I AM LITERALLY GOING TO LOCK MYSELF AWAY AND READ UNTIL I EITHER PASS OUT OR THE BOOK IS FINISHED, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST!

stannis baratheon spent his life trying to be more noble than his gross brother and his reward was jon arryn trying to send the repulsive sweetrobin to dragonstone to foster

A Song of Ice and Fire 30-Day Challenge: Day 30
Favorite book/episode:
All the books and episodes are amazing, but if I really had to narrow them down…I think the best episode was “Baelor.” So many important things happened in that episode…it really was that point where everything was just WOAH for all of this in the series.
My favorite book has to be Storm of Swords. It’s the longest and has some of the most...

Satisfaction...
That feeling you get when you realize Rhaenys Targaryen’s little black kitten Balerion grows up to be the old black tomcat that Arya Stark was chasing around the Red Keep.

A Song of Ice and Fire 30-Day Challenge: Day 29
(I’d like to apologize if my posts are sometimes not daily. My internet has sporadically been going on and off, and I’m not always able to post when I want to. In fact, I wrote this whole thing up yesterday and then my internet died just when I clicked submit. I think I fixed it now though.)
Lord of the Rings or A Song of Ice and Fire?
This question isn’t all that tough for me....

A Song of Ice and Fire 30-Day Challenge: Day 28
Give some advice to one of the characters:
Ok, really…the easiest person to give advice to is Eddard Stark.
Here goes:
1.) Hey, Ned, tell Robert BEFORE you tell Cersei what you know…
*advice ignored*
2.) Hey, Ned, listen to Renly. Arrest Cersei and take the children as your wards. You’ll be able to control the kingdom long enough to get what you want accomplished.

The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight
So, I finished both of these last week but I forgot to post about it. The short stories really are great. Can’t wait for the next one to come out. Thankfully, GRRM has already announced that it will be in his next anthology, which really shouldn’t be that long now. They already have the stories for it, so we should be seeing it sometime in 2011 or 2012, right?
Regardless, Dunk and Egg...

A Song of Ice and Fire 30-Day Challenge: Day 27
Top 5 Favorite Characters.
Putting characters in order is really hard. I know last time I was asked who my favorite character was, I said Jaime because he is indeed one of my favorites…I just don’t like ordering them. It’s like when people ask me who my best friend is. There is no way I can really just name one!
Anyways, here are some of my favorite characters, post-FFC.

A Song of Ice and Fire 30 Day Challenge: Day 26
Give yourself a GoT inspired name:
It’s hard naming myself as a random lordling. I think I’d make my first name Mace, because it is pretty badass.
If I were allowed to name myself as a Targaryen, I would be Maekar Targaryen, the second of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.
Yeah…that’s how...

What character’s death would you be ok with?
Um…Cersei Lannister? I hate that woman. I can’t wait to see her die.
