Workin' sucks, but not workin' suck more.

 

 

Even though it's not until August, as soon as I hit the submit button to reserve a campsite for a week in the Adirondacks, my whole demeanor changed.

Me and a my buddies got a campsite there last year near Lewey Lake. The lake was great, and the campsite was even better. Love the Adirondacks, we're making our reservations in the coming weeks as well. Where're you staying?

Easily the best stand-up I've ever seen, if anyone's got something better...

[Game of Thrones]

 

 

They are doing the 3rd book in two seasons of the TV show, so hopefully that helps with those types of time constrictions. I love the books and the TV series.

hopefully because I really do enjoy watching the grandeur of the books in real life. But I think the splitting up of the season might be because GRRM has yet to finish the series. He usually takes about 5 years and he stil has 2 left, about 5-7 years is the prediction

 

[Game of Thrones]

 

I am in book 4 and the rediculousness of book 3 makes me very excited for this season.

 

I have to say that they have done a good job with the series even if they have changed some things.

Have to agree that the third book is the best one so far, although I am enjoying the fifth a lot as well. I watched the first season, but I couldn't stomach the second, an unbelievable amount of fabricating happens, an most of it really isn't to compensate for time/tv restrictions. Really annoying additions/ subtractions that alter the personality of the characters as well as their motivations that just ruin the awesome plotting and character association that happens in the books

So, there's this guy and his amazingly hot gf (in real life that's her). Really catchy tune too, will get stuck in your head all day

[Stafford needs to go]

Given the healthy scratch and two days of rest, I was hopeful a trade would have been announced today :blush:

 

But I think he is leaving this season so screw it I'm saying he goes to the Wings. Calling it now

Just finished (literally) Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being." Great book, it really delves into determinism and life/love between four people under Soviet oppression. Would recommend it to everyone; deals with some heavy stuff, but real easy to read

Feel like this could happen to one of our players one day

Just finished Game of Thrones and have gotten into Clash of Kings. Should be finishing all 5 books at some point.

 

Same here, although I'm about half-way through Clash of Kings at the moment. Without spoiling anything I will say that it only gets better from the end of Game of Thrones; the plotting becomes much more intense/intelligent. I keep seeing the commercials for the second and third season on tv and I can't wait to finish the books and then get a view of all the action and detail through HBO
