Finally, it started.

'Game of Thrones' began on HBO, last night. Didn't really want to admit it, but was totally 'taken over' by the 'Song of Fire and Ice' series (winter is coming!) by George R.R. Martin. Laura got me started, cuz she knows I love a big, complicated read. SO, I didn't read much else, for a long time, as I got sucked into the 'other world' realm of 'Game of Thrones', 'Clash of Kings', 'Song of Swords' and "Feast of Crows'. Gotta admit, I was/am kinda skeered to admit I read the whole series (over 1000 pages each), but, I couldn't quit, once I got started. NOW, it is a very popular series on HBO. No way they can do it justice, on the 'little screen', but there is SO much to work with. Will be interesting to see what they do with it. This is the kind of series that could go on for over 10 years, even if they cut out huge parts of it. Hopefully, it will be interesting, and from what I've seen, I'm not the only one who likes it. (9.5 on IMD)

Still dying to see it! Nate is almost halfway through the book, and I'm pushing him to read every night. :)

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
