Here I am...

[phyncke]

I am here. I got totally absorbed in Game of Thrones and watched three seasons of it over the last few weeks. Totally addictive television. I am thinking about reading the books. Has anyone read those on my flist? Not sure about committing to those. I put the first one on my kindle to see how that goes. Seems like a pretty big commitment and I have limited time to read so there is that.

Work is there and happening. I had a great event last week - awards ceremony. It was rewarding and well attended. All went well. I have a NY event that I am remote planning. Less than thrilling. I just want to get the name tags done and be finished with it. That is about how it goes for that.

Things I should do -
-start exercising
-do a little yoga each day
-meditate

Just putting those on here so I will remember to do some wellness stuff.

I thought I would post in with an entry and have a ramble. I am debating doing the Ardor in August - vascillating and wavering. Teetering on the brink of signing up. Considering. Pain and suffering?

O.o

I looked at the audible but it was 33 hours! *dies* I will think on that. I thought I could read it faster than I could listen to it. Hmm. I love audibles. Hmmm!

haha yeah they are long! I think they took me about a week each to completely finish listening. I listened while I was making blinkies and doing stuff but it is definitely a long listen!

It would take me much longer to listen to a 33 hour book. Hmm. I will think about it and see how I do reading it. Hmm!

I bought one Audible and never got through it. I've read them all and they are long and somewhat self-indulgent (longer than need be at times and I'm am not adverse to skimming at points--clothing description and feast menus that go on and on--but some people cannot do that). The books make the TV series much easier to follow. But it goes the other way also--OMG I cannot believe they left out my favorite part or changed a character to the point I can barely recognize them. They aged everyone up a couple to several years for the TV series assuming their audience could not understand that in a quasi-medieval world people assumed responsibility, fought and won wars, at a much, much earlier age. I'd recommend reading the books also. They really enrich the entire experience by a factor of ten or more.

I will definitely give the first one a go and see how I like them. They sound way detailed. Hmm. I am definitely interested in them and love the TV show.

If you really love the TV show it is definitely worth the effort.

For sure. A richly drawn world.
