WELL OKAY now that LJ is working again

This has been a relatively good week! It felt like I did things. Enough to call for a list!

-It took me 8 days to finish A Dance With Dragons, and though I was underwhelmed in comparison to the huge wait, in the end I was pretty happy with it.
-I managed to finish that huge beast right before heading off to Disneyland with lynxgriffin, yamikonumber7, and meeting bouncy_erbear for the first time! Those ladies are absolutely fabulous to hang out with, and D-land is fun as ever. Hopefully, next time I won't have to wait as long to go.
-Got a lot of brainstorming in with Lynx and the others about ideas for MSTgame, which really kinda got me looking forward to it. We're gonna have so much fun with this thing, I think.
-Absolutely exhausted after several days without sleep, I returned home... only for my dad to hand me Ghost Story as soon as he picked me up at the airport. WHELP.
-Though, Ghost Story only took me a day. It's practically a pamphlet in comparison to aforementioned dancing with dragons, but I think of just as much substance in half the pages.
-OLD SPICE vs. FABIO. More manliness than can be really handled.
-PROJECT RUNWAY IS BACK
-My manager has invited me to a tabletop game of Mouseguard, and lent me the comic it was based on. It looks like it'll be an interesting time.
-I found out there's going to be a Rifftrax Live broadcasting on the 17th! I have to get in on that.
-Have you heard me talk about Improv Everywhere? And how much I love them and would love to be part of their stuff? They've got something going down in San Fran on the 16th. I wouldn't miss it for the world 8DDDD

And that has been my last approximate week or so! I think it all adds up to a pretty positive experience. Also, I'll be catching Cowboys & Aliens Sunday, I'm guessing that'll add to the good time. Yaaaay!

How was Dance With Dragons? I work at a library so I'm still waiting on our copy to finish processing. It focuses on everyone not in Feast of Crows, right?

Yes, mostly--The first half of the book is all about those we haven't seen in a while, but about halfway in we start getting glimpses of the guys from Feast of Crows, too. It's a good book, though at times I felt like there was a bit of filler, with unnecessary chapters here and there.

Though, that tends to be Martin's style.

Certainly. It was just sort of interesting to have so many moments of "UGH not this guy again!" and spend more time mentally tapping my foot in impatience... but still overall having it come to a positive experience in the end. That man certainly knows how to jerk you around.

There are a couple plot twists as-per-required, though I think the one most fans will be up in arms about is one that I'm perfectly okay with.

Haha, my mom just skips those chapters.

There's been plenty of rumors of an un-dead Eddard Stark.
