"P" for "pointless"

Yesterday I came in at 9:30AM or so, went to sleep around 10:30, and roughly slept from then until 1AM this morning (at 3:30PM I got woken up by a phone call and contemplated waking up for ten minutes until common sense took hold). When you work 12-hour nights and you have two nights off you only really get one day of off time, which sucks cashews.

Heh - I have The Today Show on mute playing in the backround. I looked up just as they did a brief pull-out shot and I got a glimpse of the poor saps waiting on the line outside Nintendo World for Wiis.

I haven't read a book in at least two months. I do have the newest Dresden book on pre-order from Amazon, mainly because I'm curious as to what's going to happen to Thomas. Quite ashamed that I haven't tackled the latest Song of Ice and Fire book (! I know!). I'm not quite sure what's come over me.

Must leave the house. I feel cabin fever taking over.

wait... you've not read A Feast For Crows yet?!
*shun*!

:p
get reading it girl. The next one's out this year after all.

Please. Knowing Martin it'll prolly get put off some more. Besides, it's been so long I can barely remember the other books. I'll have to go back and read them all again to catch up.

I do kinda feel ashamed, though. I'm not nearly as geeky as I'd originally thought.

I'm rereading through them at the moment in sort of preparation for the next one coming out. I'm as far as Storm of Swords [volume 1, since I'm in the UK, and it was released in 2 parts in paperback.]

But yeah, it'll probably be 2017 before it's released or something like that :)

I started up on A Game of Thrones again. Even though my appetite for reading seems to have waned the book just sucked me in. I'd forgotten how brutal Martin can be with his characters...or, rather, the saying "you know it's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' when all your favorite characters die" had lost its resonance. Reading about Bran's "accident" brought tears to my eyes. I'm such a punk. :)

AFfC is mostly a segue to the next book, which I'm once again in a holding pattern for... It reminded me of ACoK, which seemed like a slower less-suspenseful laying of plot for the coming Storm of Swords that followed. My thoughts are: A Feast for Crows is worth reading, but we won't appreciate it fully until we read A Dance With Dragons.

Seeing as how he had to split it into two novels, it kinda makes sense to wait until you have both.

I bemoan the earthly physical constraints of the medium known as the printed book.

So I subconsciously did the proper thing by not reading? Score!

I figured there wouldn't be any major conclusions in Feast of Crows.

Heh, cabin fever sucks.
