I tried really hard to ignore it but half way through dinner one side of the bandaid started to unstick. He blathered on about the political situation in The Vale (some region in the Game of Thrones series apparently) and as he talked, I nodded and watched the corner slowly unpeel itself from his face. At that point I pretended like I had only just noticed, and asked, "Oh no, did you hurt yourself?"
"Oh it's nothing, I just cut myself shaving" he said. What the hell was he shaving with? A cutlass??
I probably don't need to tell you that there won't be a second date. (He wasn't impressed with my lack of knowledge on the history of House Arryn.)
What about the boot guy? Is he still alive?

No idea! He hasn't been around on skype lately.
DeleteUnless you're into Game of Thrones, most of the conversation is probably not going to be very interesting. Especially if you haven't read the series (and I'm about 1/4th the way thru the 3rd book).
ReplyDeleteI have read the series, but I sort of skim over all the parts where it goes into historical detail. I don't find that stuff super important to the plot, so I sort of gloss over it. :P
DeleteThat's not reading the books at all Kiki. You should cover everything!
ReplyDeleteThe best part of the books is the infinite detail of the characters, the histories and everything to do with the realm as a whole.
I'm through through the series and myself and now find the shows to be too quick and lack - why? Because of the glossing over everything and everyone. The stories were written too rich maybe. Just my two cents.
I'm sure you will find your Tyrion, just you wait! :)
