• Already halfway through August! :( Can we please hit the 'pause' button to delay the arrival of September!
• Orphan Black series finale: it was a nice tidy happy ending for all. I just wasn’t satisfied with the way they let Allison and Felix waste away to become shadows of their former selves. They were both so vibrant ( Read more... )

Thoughts for August 9, 2017

• Floaters suck…I wish they’d go away. And I need a massage.
• Is the new fridge working properly??? I have no idea. The temperature gauge reads perfect one minute and on the verge of spoiling the next. GE help please.
• Currently reading - Ice Like Fire - I’m about 5 chapters away from finishing book two in this trilogy. Meira ( Read more... )

I haven't been on LJ in ages. There have been so many changes to LJ (and Photobucket) in the past few months I wasn't sure if I was going to come back. Anyhow, here I am. Don't expect deep thoughts. I really just want to use this journal to record noteworthy items and randomness from my sometimes exciting but usually incredibly boring life ( Read more... )

Word of the day -
Gaslight: To manipulate events and situations in order to make a person doubt their own memory, perception and quite often, their sanity.

Honestly I am so sick of Daenerys delivering those pithy iconic phrases. Just speak like a normal person please. I shouldn’t watch this show live - if I dvr’d it I could just ffwd through her scenes. From this clip it looks as though they have made some improvements to Tyrion’s storyline. ( Read more... )

Oh, did the SAG Awards just happen? Right then, well I guess nothing much to report there, other than Natalie Dormer looking gorgeous. What's up next? BAFTAs or Grammys? I can't remember ( Read more... )

What is turning out to be an annual event in Toronto is the Game of Thrones exhibit. Last year it was held at the Design Exchange. This year it is back to the TIFF Bell Lightbox which is just a hop, skip and a jump away from my new workplace. I booked the much coveted (free) tickets on the same day that they were released to ensure I was able to go ( Read more... )

Am now the proud owner of tickets to both the Game of Thrones exhibit that will be taking place at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in May and Fan Expo circa my birthday. Huzzah!!

Ooh, I see that Jesus Christ Superstar is on the season bill for 2014/15 at Hart House Theatre. Hmmm, wonder how many times I'll be seeing that one...

OK so I knew the Purple Wedding was coming and that Twitter/Tumbler would explode, in a positive way, once it had happened. So happy it is over and done with. I intently watched every second of that wedding reception though to see if there were any ‘obvious’ moments that gave away the guilty party but there was nothing I could discern. Good job.
