Media consumed: books, TV, and film!
Books:
FINALLY finished A Storm of Swords (aka ASOIAF, book 3). I reached a point in the middle of this book where I was just, "What is the point of all of this?!" and lost interest. But once I only had 3000 300 pages left, I just had to push through to the end. I still really love this world and many of its characters, but omg, GRRM! Brevity! Find some! That said, I really do love how every evil characters has their endearing moments and every "good" character is flawed.
So, this left me free to finally get to Kristin Cashore's Bitterblue which I devoured in a day and a half. I know Kristin really struggled with this book, doing two major rewrites. I was pleased with the final version, but I feel like she could have gone on for 300 more pages and filled in some holes. I guess this is what fanfic is for... so, um, get on that people, because there is currently a dearth of it.
I need to decide if I want to start in on ASOIAF book 4 (A Feast for Crows) next or find something else. Has anyone read the Divergent series by Veronica Roth?
Television:
Game of Thrones: The thing about this show is that it only covers about 30% of the book with 80% accuracy, but the actors are so damn good you really don't care if they throw in stuff that didn't happen in the books or take lines from one character and give them to another.
Glee: Um. I just would really like to understand the writers process on this show. Or if there even is a process or plan. Because it could really be so much more!
White Collar: I was watching the "Bizarro Jerry" episode of Seinfeld and suddenly Jerry's counterpart, Kevin, looked very familiar! It was a young Tim DeKay!! Is it July 10th yet?
Eurovision: Honestly, why is this not broadcast here? I mean, I know we are not in Europe, and we can't vote in it anyway, but this show is so hilariously awful and camp! I can't believe Norway came in last; their singer was so cute!
Films:
We went to see Men in Black III yesterday. Predictable, though it had its funny moments. But yeah, Will and Tommy Lee are definitely showing the 15 years since the first film. TLJ's face in his scenes looked like a mortician had prepped him rather than a makeup artist. Josh Brolin, though, was pitch perfect as a young K.
