neat stuff
Common Rotation is playing the Bitter End on Friday night. You can get tickets from CommonRotation.com; the show is supposed to start at 8pm. Should be good; Common Rotation is smart, funny, talented, and always entertaining.
I am re-reading A Storm of Swords, the third book in the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. I love this book. I adore Jaime Lannister. *sigh* I love his brutal honesty and complete disregard for social codes that he finds meaningless. I love his sense of humor and his ability to say exactly how he feels in any circumstance. I love his ability to see through the bullshit and hypocrisy around him. I love the way his tendency to act without thinking leads to both his most horrible and most wonderful actions--killing Aerys, tossing Bran, the whole bear pit thing. I love watching him turn his unrelenting honesty onto himself and then realize how fucked up he has become. And I love watching him change himself into a better person, while keeping his honesty and perceptiveness and snark.
And I really like the series as a whole, too. I love the grey areas and moral ambiguity and complex characters. I like Tyrion nearly as much as Jaime; Sandor Clegane fascinates me; Arya and Brienne are pretty cool; and I'm dying to know whatever happened between Rheagar and Lyanna. I love that the world of the series is so intricately and interestingly constructed.
Anyway. So there's that.
I'm bored, can you tell?
