She was definitely turning towards Winterfell as of the scene at the inn. Post-Nymeria she may change her mind.

The silver lining here is that you apparently get to hear Kid A for the first time in the year of our lord 2017 and that's gotta be worth something.

Though I don't usually recommend JG Ballard as the best YA choice for pre-adolescent girls.

I assume you meant to say the subject of this article?

I only recently tried century egg for the first time and was surprised by how pleasant and innocuous the flavour was. I mean, the odour from the recently opened eggs was absolutely vile, but after airing for 10 minutes or so and served with the dressing it was just an enjoyable creamy, savoury flavour. Nothing…

"Maybe in 1993 Doom had a level of relative realism that didn't exist for me in 1996-98"

Don't feel too bad. I fell into a scene in my 20s and the best thing I ever did was get the hell out of it and form some friendships with people who didn't like all the same shit as me.

Try To Sleep is a classic too imo. "Try to sleep / don't look at the camera" is a heck of a lyric.

Did you know it's okay to just not write articles about people who desperately want articles to be written about them? Like… you can just not do it?

I'm impressed you managed to fail your quest within the first sentence of week 1.

"This reunion has been going on for 11 years now" Did this fact make anyone else feel incredibly old? On some level, the Pixies reuniting still feels to me like a remarkable thing that just happened recently.

There is no pan-universal arbiter of grammar, but most of the major style guides prescribe it (MLA, CMOS, APA, Oxford etc), with the notable exception of AP style, which is why you'll often see the s' formation in newspapers. Even then, it's only done under certain circumstances: http://www.apvschicago.com/…

Here's oxford: http://www.oxforddictionari…

No, that's the common misconception, widely used, and sometimes taught in school, but it's absolutely incorrect. Galois's Theorem, not Galois' Theorem. Depends on how prescriptivist you're feeling though.

I don't think Pablo Honey even held up in high school.

Interesting, that's the exact point I finally got into the Mountain Goats, and for the same reason. I found his earlier lo-fi stuff (pre-West Texas) a bit.. I don't know.. histrionic? Tallahassee, We Shall All Be Healed and Sunset Tree are all great, but I honestly prefer the songs on Heretic Pride and especially Life…

For certain values of "legitimately" and "great", sure

It's worth noting that the games 'peculiar syntax' for spells is borrowed directly from the awesome 1950s Dying Earth series by Jack Vance, which itself features some worthy sounding rejected spells, like "the Charm of the Macroid Toe", Lugwiler's Dismal Itch and the Excellent Prismatic Spray

Just the generally impeccable quality of their songwriting and timeless riffs, I'd suppose

Hmm. I had hoped never to see Ben Kweller's face again, but I see now that that was a fool's dream.
