GAME OF THRONES RECAP!
Wow, um, I think I actually liked [half of] this episode. IDK IDK. Nothing happened, as usual, but I felt they stayed [half] true to the books this time. Anyhooooooooooooo, bullets after the…

I’ve been slacking off on reading The Surrendered these past days. I read 5% of it (TYVM Goodreads) on the 14th but didn’t go any further until yesterday because of, um, Adam Lambert *ehem* album launch and other shenanigans *ehem*. I finally reached the halfway mark today and eventually decided to make a short post about it. My thoughts on the other side!

The Surrendered is my first...

The latest episode of Game of Thrones is… decent. I’m not sure what to feel about it. All the changes they’ve done are really bothering me, yet I still enjoy some scenes… especially Jon and Ygritte’s. I ought to feel annoyed because they’ve messed up Jon’s arc by separating him from Qhorin too early but…

Some thoughts on the last two books I read.

Set against the paranoia-filled world of postwar Soviet Russia, Child 44 follows the life of war hero Leo Stepanovich Demidov. Young, handsome, and, above all, loyal, Leo is the image of a perfect Soviet man envisioned by the State. His blind obedience and extreme idealism has made him one of the most indispensible officers of the MGB… until,...

Won’t be able to go near my laptop for two days, so I’m queuing my 30 Days of ASoIaF posts. Also, if anyone needs to contact me, you can reach me thru text. :)

This week on… Game of Thrones
Bullets because I can’t form a single paragraph right now! Yayno!

Scene 1: Theon took Winterfell… with grappling claws and ropes!
Maester Luwin, I love you.
Theon, you are a sweet summer child… though I’m not so sure about the “sweet” part.
DEAR R’HLLOR, RICKON ACTUALLY SAID SOMETHING IN THIS EPISODE!
Ser Rodrik, you were a great man. You shall be remembered fondly! (Oh, and,...

Will Grayson, Will Grayson - John Green and David...
I am going to start this with a very obvious question: What will you do if and when, by some stroke of luck, you meet a person with the same name as yours? Will you…

If you’re not Will Grayson or, well, will grayson, you probably won’t buy a Spanish porn magazine entitled Mano a Mano (Will) or ask if your namesake’s name is actually Isaac (will). I also assume that you will...

The Mission Song - John le Carré
Bruno Salvador, commonly known as Salvo, is a top interpreter working for the British Government. One night, during his wife’s very important office party, he receives a call from his boss telling him there’s a big-shot gig waiting for him and—wait for it—it’s urgent as FUCK!
Salvo, being the obedient man that he is, whisks off his dinner jacket, leaves the party and, in no more than 4 hours...

The Ghost of Harrenhal
Some quick thoughts/reactions on the latest episode of Game of Thrones Season Two. (Yes, I saw it just now)

Bye-bye Renly
Excuse me but KING IN THE SOUTH + KING IN THE NORTH?
Way to go, HBO, for making Renly and Cat agree to terms which could have changed EVERYTHING before killing Renly off. Thank you so much for rubbing it in.
Littlefucker strikes again
This scene will put sense...

Good Omens - Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
In the beginning… it’s actually nice. Nice as in “pleasing, agreeable”, not “exacting in requirements or standards”, but kinda “possessing, marked by, or demanding great or excessive precision and delicacy” (as seen in the Merriam-Webster Offline Dictionary app on my Android phone). There’s a very good mix of the normal and the mystic in it. (Ya know, it’s just the usual angel-demon casual...

Remember those really annoying “logic” questions in entrance/achievement tests? Those sets of statements you have to assume as true no matter how unlikely they sound?

Even if it states that Twilight is the best book ever or that Arya and Gendry should bang each other in the episode. You know, something like this:

I’m going to be perfectly honest here: I did not and still do not get it. Reverse chronology? Five *voices*? Cross-country mail?
The first quarter of the book is atrocious. I find the writing awkward in a lot of places; there is no smooth flow, no connection. But halfway through it, the writing gets better and becomes more bearable. It’s a good thing...

Garden of Bones
I have never written a reaction post about Game of Thrones before and didn’t have any intention of breaking the tradition when I started watching this week’s episode. My feelings about the show are mostly similar to those about the book so I didn’t see much point in reviewing episodes. But now…
Garden of Bones contains the most added/altered scenes in the whole series so far. And I...

A Dance with Dragons - George R.R. Martin
With unspeakable anguish, I willed myself to finish the latest book in Geo—ah, fuck this. I’ll spare you the niceties this time. Just… I FINISHED READING A DANCE WITH DRAGONS LAST NIGHT AND NOW I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO LIVE FOR UNTIL THE WINDS OF WINTER IS RELEASED!

But before I go on about how boring and pointless my life will now be while waiting for the winds of winter to blow, allow...

09/04 - 15/04 – "No More Cheating"
It’s that time of the week again! Are you excited? Ah, don’t answer that because [guess what] I’m not!

Another week has passed. Earlier on, when I first thought of doing this, I was under the impression that I could somehow make this vacation more memorable than the previous ones I allowed to pass. I believed that by writing about my days at the end of each week, I could sharpen both...

A Feast for Crows - George R.R. Martin
Here are my thoughts on the fourth installment of George R.R. Martin’s epic A Song of Ice and Fire series, A Feast for Crows or, as I call it, The “Geographically” Challenged ASoIaF Book.

Like the past three ASoIaF books, AFfC reads like a true fantasy novel. The language is [almost too] rich, the imagery is vivid, and the overall style of the book stays true to GRRM tradition. In...
