As usual, my Twitter feed erupted like Mt. St Helens Sunday night, following the latest "Game of Thrones" episode.

I stumbled upon this reaction video today and watched it. Now, having neither read the books or watched any of the series (I know, I must be the last holdout in America), and knowing next to nothing about the characters, my thoughts upon seeing this clip went as follows:

"OH FOR FRAK'S SAKE STOP RUNNING AROUND PONTIFICATING ABOUT YOUR SISTER AND FINISH THIS BASTARD OFF!"

And sure enough...

I don't know if George R.R. Martin set out to write a textbook definition of hubris, but he certainly succeeded.

Warning: Spoilers for "The Mountain and the Viper," also extreme bloody squishy violence. Skip if you don't have a strong stomach.

Words To Live By

Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of a job: it’s always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins. ~Neil Gaiman

Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in. ~Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

The road to hell is paved with adverbs. ~Stephen King

The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read. ~Mark Twain

I feel free and strong. If I were not a reader of books I could not feel this way. ~Walter Tevis

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one. ~George R.R. Martin
