He also released 2 of the awesome Dunk and Egg novellas (soon to be HBO mini series) since 2003, a bunch of other novellas including princess and the queen (which I’d bet will become a high budget dragon fighting movie one day), a really comprehensive reference book and wrote a few TV episodes taboot.

The last 2 books were mediocre compared to the first 3. There’s no reason to believe the series will hit that high point again. He’s 67 and, from the look of him, his freakin’ heart is probably going to explode any day now. Maybe they’ll have a ghostwriter finish it under the guise of “publishing a discovered…

uh...Brienne cut Stannis’ head off...

GRRM can do his thing, and I really don’t begrudge him if he was sitting on finished work. Sometimes when a person works hard/gets lucky/burnt out it’s a fucking dream to just chill. I’d love to see more work from him, but i’ve enjoyed what he’s done so far and am happy just to have read it.

And each episode should have the Brienne literally wandering in the background and never bumping into any of them.

Yea but none of those were making HBO piles and piles of money.

Whatever happens, I just hope we get lots more of Daenerys wandering from town to town, and John wandering around the North, and Arya wandering all over Westeros and Bran wandering wherever the fuck he’s been wandering.

The moment the show caught up to the books it was all over. He always said he’d be ahead of the show and it was nonsense. The fight to even try died then. He gave them his outline, such as it was. All of the reveals will happen in a lazy uninspired way by the show without any proper buildup. And he’ll have no big…

I think I agree with you. I mean, was there ever meant to be an ending to this thing? Every chapter is practically a new plot with new characters. Even if someone else sits on the throne, what is going to happen to the rest of the people in the story? You think they will be happy with that? These books never had an…

Unfortunately, he died last summer. He will never get justice, nor will Sister Margaret Ann Pahl.

The alternate priest was a total dick, and he had a girlfriend that he would hang out with at a beach house near my family’s lake house in MI. Total creeper. Father Robinson, though? He was a peach.

Well, *that* escalated quickly.

Puja’s Vine is the best Vine. It’s very possibly the best Vine that will ever be.

Kids getting hurt nearly always makes me laugh and I think that means I’m going to hell

The Baron Cohen family is one I have a huge amount of respect for. Smart, kind, conscientious people; Sacha’s cousin Simon is the world’s foremost autism researcher. It’s no surprise that half of this donation is going towards vaccinations.

I thought he was bailed out and sent home closely after his arrest, so he likely found ways to amuse himself.

Borat doesn’t require forgiveness. Bruno, on the other hand . . .

Beautiful. Can almost forgive him for Borat.

Hopefully by being visited by three Christmas spirits.
