So, I was absent from LJ for a year, more or less. Because I'm seriously ill. But, next Tuesday the doctors are trying to fix me by opening my body with sharp instruments and cutting away certain things.
While the painkillers mostly ruled my life for the last months I had some better moments and cached up on some pop culture and binge watched:

I'm sorry that it turns out that the knife is the only option. (And also about the (ex-) in gf.) OTOH, I'm happy that you have discovered television! I feel like in this one narrow way, we lj folks are like Jenny to your Giles...welcome to the 21st century! :D (I say we as if I had something to do with it, lol. But you know, lj as a whole....) Also, my dig at "discovering television" is because we're all/I am jealous of your being so well read and knowledgey :)
I am halfway through s2 of Orphan Black, and I agree that they seem a little low on ideas...I like the show though. I am somewhere between liking and loving GoT. I have been meaning to read the books, but it just sort of gets away from me.
Fun fact: when RL friends decided to have a game of "what Game of Thrones character are you?", they decided I was like Varys because I "like knowledge." !!! So, you know, um, I *might* be more of a mastermind manipulator than people give me credit for.... (In annoyance I mentally pinged one of them as Tywin and that has mostly stuck in my head....)

And: Heehee, your Jenny/Giles dig is very funny. :) Sometimes I really feel like an old, grumpy, way-behind-the-times glass-wearer. (Although I do not nearly polish my glasses as much as Giles does...)
And well saved with your flattering compliments there, Lord Varys. ;)
As written above I really hope to be back to my old self (plus new scars) come mid-August. And then we can talk about orphan Black and GoT way more (also, you need to explain this "21st century" to me in more detail. WTF has become of the good old times?!).
All the best to you!

I think I would rather be Giles than Varys, honestly -- if Varys' manipulations turn out to be for the cause of fighting the giant zombie horde, then they will be closer to equivalent.
It's very good to hear from you at any rate....
