Game of Thrones Again

An apology about apologizing is a bit odd, but I am sorry about having to keep explaining my long absence from Facebook. I see an orthopedist this week, so I am hoping I’ll soon be able to resume my regular posts. Assuming that Uhred will cooperate, of course. Despite a visit yesterday from the Geek Squad, he continues to give me grief, infuriating in a brand-new computer. He’s been so obnoxious that I am going to rename him again; Uhtred even on his worst days was not this infuriating. At the moment, one name I am considering is Diablo.; the others are unprintable.
Here is an interesting article about GRRM’s plans for his last two books. Apparently we who watch the HBO series and read the books too are in for whiplash. It will certainly be weird to read about characters that have already been killed off on HBO.

Terelyn Marks Good luck with the orthopedist! Hope you're not too miserable. I completely sympathize -- I've just started physical therapy for pinched nerves in my neck and shoulder. They told me -- very matter-of-factly -- it's going to get worse, painwise, before it gets better.

From an on-line interview with GRRM, he pretty considers the books and the HBO series as two separate entities that happen to have the same name.

RJay Sharon-hope you're feeling better soon. Back pain is no fun.
Here are some suggested alternatives for Uhtred: the Great Deceiver or the Prince of Darkness -- good luck with your Geeks!

Sharon Thanks,Rosemary. I got a cortisone shot yesterday, which seems to be helping somewhat. I've already renamed the ingrate; his new name is Diablo, richly deserved.

Judith I hope the cortisone shot helps you, I've had two ruptured discs in my lower back and the pain is no fun. Here's hoping you get some relief.


message 5: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Thanks, Judith. I've have had a ruptured disc, too, and as you say, not fun.

Lisa Jensen Maybe you can name your pc for a victor!
Have you ever considered writing more books set in Wales, I loved Here Be Shadows. Welsh history is so rich. Hope your back is healing by now. I've been where you are too.

Sharon I do want to write about Owain Glyndwr, Lisa.
