Some more Breaking Bad?
Some more Undercovers?
I think I'm making reasonable progress on my summer media consumption plans. Today I watched Game of Thrones 1x08 with my brother, and we're planning on watching 09 and 10 tomorrow. I don't know how I will cope after that, though, b/c I have kind of fallen in love with the show and I don't want to have to wait for another season. D: I guess what I will do is add the books to my media consumption to-do list.
Also, because it is clearly now traditional for me to do this when I make a Game of Thrones post, my favourites are currently:
1- Daenerys Targaryan (because she is a BAMF),
2- Arya Stark (because she is small and fierce),
3- Syrio Forel (because I have a thing for good teachers),
4- Catelyn Stark (because she is starting to seem like the only sensible one),
5- Tyrion Lannister (do I even need to explain?),
6- Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish (pls continue to connive, kthnx).
Going down:
- Jon Snow (I still like him, but can he please be less entitled now? He's in a shitty situation, yes, but he keeps failing to notice that everyone around him is also in a shitty situation.)
- Bran Stark (Mainly because he just hasn't been around all that much.)
Going up:
- Tywin Lannister (too new for me to have a solid opinion of, but he seems to have magnificent bastard potential)
- Cersei Lannister (IDK how this has happened, I am just starting to like her /o\ I guess she is also something of a magnificent bastard?)
- Varys the eunuch (he seems like a pretty interesting guy)
I also watched the HIMYM season six finale finally. Stop teasing me with the Barney/Robin, u guise! :(
And last night I finished reading The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex, which is a children's sci-fi story and is very fun. I think a lot of people on my flist might like it. The main character is a girl and is not white (and those are both handled in a non-faily way despite the author being a white dude). The book has themes of colonialism, but, being a children's story, it's still a pretty light read. Also, I defy anyone to read this book and not fall foreverinlove with J.Lo. HE IS POSSIBLY THE MOST ADORABLE ALIEN CHARACTER OF ALL TIME. Recommended, for sure!
