I just love that video Ray--it says it all.  I'm so glad you took time off from the truck stop glory holes you frequent to post something as fun as that.  Just looking at The Bearded Ham's workload on his blog makes me think 5 years is about right.

Let's see...hmmmm, I started these books in roughly 1998 when I had no kids; now it looks like I may ( Read more... )

I just finished this week's GOT on HBO.  BOOOOOOORRRRRINGGGGGGGGGGGG ( Read more... )

What is up you bastards?  Things have been a little crazy for old Pesci lately.  If you’re looking for some action at the window I have the inside track on a 7 year old softball team.  Bet the Maroon Dolphins and Uncle Joe will take care of you.

Right now I am gearing up for the big NATO summit in the Chicago.  All the stinkies are in town ready to ( Read more... )

I Made the Eight t-shirt.

Yep.  There you go.

Also, Why John Hodgman Loves Nipple Tweaking.

Should I know who he is?  Probably.  I live in a cave these days.

Finally, here's a guy masturbating over a tabletop RPG.

After this sequence of depressing GRRM-related incidents that have been sent to me by Alert Readers, I am happy to report that I was pulled ( Read more... )

In regards to the Golden Globes..

(1) Does anyone who reads the books think Tyrion is actually like what he's portrayed as in the HBO series?  Maybe I'm still in the minority here, and I'm a fan of Peter Dinklage, but I feel like they wrecked that character when he went to the screen.

(2) Since when do novelists/authors refer to themselves as "book ( Read more... )

Awwwwwww SNAPS, back in action, nome sane mah peeps???  WORD.  We'z all up in da FTBG like a mothafuckin' dungeonmaster in his momz basement, yo. Y'dig?

*insert week-long rehab clinic residency*

Whew!  That was rough.  Good to be back, everyone.  If you've been wondering about my absence, it can be summed up in the following helpful list of comments:

All right, all right, Pesci is done with Ser Pokey's latest 500 page book which he wrapped up in a nice and neat 900 plus page cookbook. Oh the food, the food. So much of it, even reading a description of the best brown served in King's Landing seems like a chore. But I digress, we know this has been a criticism, throughout the series. It ( Read more... )

So summer vacation is finally here, and I am able to enjoy a couple of months of rest and sponging off of taxpayers, if you believe the anti-teacher rhetoric that is being bandied about these days.  People wonder, "Hey Ray, why would you, a Famous Hollywood Actor, decide to also be a high school English teacher?"  To questions like these, I ( Read more... )

So when you write a frequently-repetitive blog about an author's works, and their lack of timely release, it becomes telling when you end up spending more time dealing with his television adaptations than with his books.  Part of me is grateful that HBO went ahead and produced the series; after all, it gave us a lot more to talk about, since ( Read more... )

As I sit on my couch, avoiding a stack of poorly-written high school student essays, I browse the Not a Blog and find...well, nothing of import.  HBO book signings, clips from upcoming GOT episodes, and a mention of working on proofing ADWD for the July 12th release.  I must say, I do eagerly await that possible day when I'll have new things to ( Read more... )
