Project Insanity is going well, in that after 2 days of almost non-stop pick-pocketing I am 36.78% revered with Ravenholdt and 100% ready to curl up in a straight jacket and take a drool-nap on the floor of a padded cell. Well done on this one Blizzard, it could not be more perfectly designed to drive people off-the-wall mad. *Invisible hat*
Today has kicked ass in general, in the Cougar Town meaning of the word. My internet poofed yesterday evening and I thought it was one of those temporary things that happens every once in a while (and it's been a while since now). Anyone wanna take a wild guess as to the true culprit? Yup. *Shakefist* DAMN CAT! Grrrrrh. And then I didn't have money for grocery shopping, and then my mouse got all randomly glitchy, and my comp is being mega-laggy which is reeeeally fun when you're trying to stealth around pickpocketing and end up standing right on top of the mob. >_<
I think I'm in a pretty decent mood anyway though, I looked out the window tonight at 8pm and it wasn't dark yet so I think it might be sinking in that winter is over. And yeah, Zeigeist making it onto my playlists is usually a good spring sign, not sure when/why that became my getting-out-of-winter-funk soundtrack but I think it does work. Also an excellent work-out soundtrack, whenever I actually have the energy to do anything other than sleep.
Speaking of winter: Game of Thrones. Nice segway there, right? I thought so. So that was a truly gross and disturbing episode, I may have nightmares tonight. God, figuring out what the deal was with the rat and the bucket... My brain has never been less happy to solve a puzzle. It also has never been so happy to see a Lannister (including Tyrion!) as when Daddy Lannister (no I don't know his name, he's had like 2 scenes and there are 2000 characters on this show) showed up and saved Gendry. Pretty sure Gendry's a dead man walking (most people on this show seems to be), but I was definitely not ready to lose him yet. Especially not like that. *Shudder*
And what the fucking fuck was that ending? I mean, I'm all for some actual fantasy in this supposed fantasy show, but what the FUCK was that?! Grade A Nightmare Fuel, is what it was. It was like the smoke monster from Lost but ACTUALLY SCARY.
And then there was Joffrey, who basically CANNOT get any creepier and more gross at this point, no matter what he does. Not even if he started making out with the smoke monster baby or decided to get a pet rat. Can someone PLEASE kill him soon? Please, someone who's read the books, tell me he dies a horrible death very soon? Preferably at the hand of Sansa, but I'll gladly settle for Tyrion or Cersei or Arya.
Shallow note: My favorite part of like, half the scenes on this show, is watching the costumes. Totally digging Renly's thorny crown the most and, weirdly, Dany's barbarian-chic outfit. Even the armor is pretty though, I didn't think armor could be pretty.
Actual spoilery-spoiler for HoD. Aaaand there goes my decent mood.
