Friday

There is no hockey game tonight. That blows. I hate this two days between games crap. It’s torture, especially when your team lost the last game. We need a game tonight, damn it!

Hey, guess what. Today is the first day of summer. Yesterday was a beautiful day to send off Spring and now we have Summer. Today is the longest day of the year (sunlight wise), which to an eternal pessimist means: It’s all down hill from here. Or as folks in Game of Thrones would say, Winter is coming.

So I’ve watched every episode of Game of Thrones. When does it get good? No, really. It’s not bad. I wasn’t forced to watch three seasons (10 episodes per season… screw you and your crap HBO. How about 26 episodes per season the way the real networks do it. Jerks). It wasn’t bad. It’s just that so many people told me it was the greatest thing ever. I guess it just didn’t come close to living up to the hype. There are some characters that I really like (forgive me for not trying to spell first names) the dwarf Lannister (sp?) brother is the best part of the whole show. He’s smart, manipulative, and damn funny. I thought they under used him in season three. Hopefully that changes. Same thing with the younger of the Stark daughters. I expect her to be running things when the story ends, but she was sort of boring in season three. She did end with a bang though.

All in all, the show is okay. I’m not in a hurry for the next season to start, as I am with The Walking Dead, but it’s just sort of… okay. Why then did I start listening to the book on tape of the first book? Why? I know it’s just okay. Why? Urgh.

Happy Summer.
