HAPPY APRIL SWAP


Tonight S and K made orange dark chocolate almond flour scones that were surprisingly amazing. Whenever Karen comes over it ends in impromptu gluten-free, keto friendly tea parties, so I don't know why I'm still surprised by this point, but. Yes. That happened.

I'm trying to read all of Game of Thrones (well, sort of reread), but the first season followed the book so closely that, save for a few details here and there, it feels pointless to read the less fun "plotty" chapters of Catelyn, Tyrion and Ned. I shall nevertheless persevere! Fighting! (hopefully I'll get through the series quickly, because all of my dreams will prob be set in Westeros so long as it's on my mind. the main characters from Suits were there last night.)

Awww man GoT. Books 4 and 5 were...rough. I recall them taking a very long time to get through. I have also stopped watching the show cause man I don't care anymore??? IDK it's good of course but...yeaaaah. Apparently this season they are diverging from the books quite a bit which doesn't really make sense to me.

I don't feel a need to watch the show until it's put right in front of me, at which point I can watch for as long as you'll play episodes, and then wander away and not care again. They chose such perfect actors that it's always a joy to watch, but at the same time you can tell that everything is going to take forever to happen, so I don't feel any urgency to catch up.

As for the books, I'm pretty sure I'll always want to read any chapters from Sansa, Arya and Bran's POV, so that will be something to keep me going (I'm aware something has probably happened to one of those characters to make that statement very ironic. oh well.).

Books 4 and 5 happen at the same time so he split the characters across the two books (so you won't see any of character A in book 4 but character A will be in book 5 while character B will be all up in book 4 but not in 5).
