It's a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's A Hazy Shade of Winter, of all things.

I mean someone theorized Ramsay was Brandon's bastard.

Mostly like it and cautiously optimistic or at last interested, but that background track "time time time" is fucking awful.

Rhuidean. Will they get it right? I have small faith in them.

Season 3 teaser trailer is up:

Wow. Just wow. HTS doesn’t need to be a Jeffersonian democracy. They just need to play nice as well as Turkey or Saudi’s Arabia do. Assad set a low bar.

Hell, there's protesting/celebrating/rebelling on the streets of Latakia now, right in the very heart of Assad's Alawite heartland. Syrian military command in talks with the opposition in Damascus on ceding control of the city. HTS forces are already south of Homs, taking control of other towns and a nearby airbase. Russia and Iran have started calling them "the legitimate opposition." US-backed opposition forces have arrived in the vicinity of Damascus, and are securing the more notorious prisons outside the city. Assad's precise whereabouts remains unclear.

Not that it makes a better plan, but I suspect he showed his face coz they needed to match his face to his (fake) ID, and the flirting was by-the-by.

I went over to Monk today after not having a very fun time last night - frankly I was drunk trying to learn. Unwise. Today I dove into really training myself to use WASD, which feels absolutely great, for sure. I need to get much, much better at my skill clicks, though; I'm constantly hitting incorrect keys, and combat is completely unforgiving to a badly timed mistake. The game is still, well, it's just too damn hard for me. I play these games to be only mostly-focused, while I have a basketball game on. If I even lose track for one pack of white mobs in POE2, I'm probably just dead. The boss fights are absolutely bonkers and do feel good once you beat them, but I'm already just tired of trying to hard. It's a masterpiece of a game (for such early access of course), I hope I can eventually Get Gud and all that. It's one heck of a learning curve. Maybe I'll feel a little more chipper after dinner. Hades was also extremely discouraging early on for me, but I was proficient enough mechanically after many hours in that one.

True enough. Tripped up by the cute receptionist at the Hostel. Same as it ever was.

Nerds.

Teller usually turns me off a project but I’m hooked.

That angle you're taking, it's a cute one.

Yep. Look what happened with the new and improved Taliban in Afghanistan. Just this week they banned women from even taking midwife courses. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy3l1035nlo.amp

I guess that depends on the plan. The police and media have a picture of his face, and the police claim to have his identity- that's probably not the plan.

There were German divisions who bitterly fought the Red Army so that civilians could escape to the West and go into US-occupied areas, when German divisions in the West were more or less laying down their weapons so that Western armies could occupy more territories before capitulation. It might be something like this at play, here. Jolani is also a brutal murderous thug, just like Zarqawi, Mullah Omar or al-Baghdadi.

I don't accept this. As someone who has written for business purposes, sometimes, even most times, when you simply force yourself to the computer and start writing, even if whatever you start with is absolute crap.....something better will eventually take shape. You will get into the groove. You will make progress. Of course it takes longer than when you are in the zone, but it is better than nothing. It's been 13 years.

It was reportedly a receptionist at the hostel he stayed at.

Well, again, that's something that is out of our control. If Winds never gets published, I will be very disappointed, but that won't stop me from being a fan of ASOIAF.

I wonder why HBO still hasn’t released ANY deleted scenes. Like they used to. We’ve only scratched the surface on deleted Season 2 scenes. We know the Daenerys stand in filmed more.

They're so obtuse.

I have it, I just need to fix up my stuff to build up the combo points and remember to use it.

I’m frustrated with how, episode to episode…there’s only actually were a LOT of complaints about lack of action scenes…even after episode 3. Huge battle in episode 4…. Then I saw people rage-quitting after episode 5…didn’t even wait for the Red Sowing. There was less action in Season One! Obviously they cut the Battle of the Gullet, but I mean before that.
