A Song of Ice and Fire

Highlights from the original outline for GRRM’s ASOIAF:

Sansa marries King Joffrey, bears his son, and, Martin writes, “when the crunch comes she will choose her husband and child over her parents and siblings, a choice she will later bitterly rue.”

Tyrion Lannister falls in love with Arya, who only has eyes for Jon; this leads to “a deadly rivalry between Tyrion and Jon Snow.”

Daenerys Targaryen still marries Khal Drogo, who has no interest in capturing the throne of the Seven Kingdoms and kills her brother Viserys when he refuses to let it go. Presumably, Viserys is less of a jerk in this version than in the published book, because Daenerys actually kills Khal Drogo to avenge him.

Looks the business.

If you can’t wait until April and fancy a fix I’d recommend this.

Rope-a-dope

If any of you saw Rope-a-dope a few years back (think Groundhog Day by way of Jackie Chan) there’s now a follow-up, and it’s just as much fun.

Intermission

Not the sort of thing I usually post about but, man, I feel like shit at the minute.

This is probably the lowest I’ve felt in about 5 years. I’ve put so much in to work, relationships, and keeping myself fit and healthy over the last few years and it seems like none of it is paying off. The last few months have been excruciating. So little patience left right now.

Movies, kittens and Japanophilia will resume shortly!
