RhaenysBee Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Happy holidays to the Sith family! so how have the holidays been going for everybody? Food coma, festive booze, family drama? I’m just realizing I have had very little alcohol. It would have helped soooo much. Well I shall be returning to my home in the city and lying into a tub of hot water infused with the contents of my lush gift box while I watch Downton Abbey and sip a cup of whiskey loaded tea.

Hmm I didn’t overeat too much either, there was very little booze and very little family drama too. My father got the same present for my cousin he had already got from his parents two days ago and my mother threw a wine cork into the garbage prematurely. Aside from these minor moments of drama, our Christmas was somewhat boring too. I spent an obnoxious amount of time setting up electronic devices for family members.

honeyed chicken Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! Sorry I didn't contribute to the tree again, Buck. Always good intentions, maybe some day I'll figure it out? It all comes down to George, imo. GOT let us down big time with that fizzle of a climax. Another book could put some energy back into Westeros and into TTTNE maybe. BUT I'm beginning to doubt . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhaenysBee Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 I didnt even flip through Fire and Blood at the bookstore. I would rather read Harry Potter a 50th time. Oh wait, I’m doing that.. so Scotch in earl grey is a much different taste result than Irish whiskey in earl grey. I’m quite a novice at drinking whiskey, I have only recently warmed to it, so if anybody is a whiskey drinker, Don’t hesitate to hit me with your suggestions (My focus is scotch and Irish whiskey not so much bourbon for the time being) My day has been kinda bleh, I didn’t get up in time and I picked the wrong place for brunch and wasted most of my afternoon looking for a new iPad case and storage containers for my bathroom and kitchen cabinets. I didn’t find anything of course because the queues after Christmas are as bad as the ones before Christmas. Oh well. I’ll make up for it tomorrow. I have a lot of cleaning and tidying to do, I hate going into the new year without getting rid of last year’s clutter and mess. I’m currently watching home renovation YouTube videos by the way, and I’m inspired to start the new year with a quest for a damn painting over my couch. why can’t I shut up? I’ll shut up now.

Wait, your birthday was also this month, right? I forgot which day, but in any case, happy belated birthday, RB! I just saw an article about his opening a bookstore that sells his books and those of local authors, as well as Game of Thrones merch. Those are the facts, I’ll refrain from publicizing my own thoughts about them. oh, I’m really not a puzzle person. I mean I might enjoy putting together a puzzle on a boring Christmas Day but I would never put it on my wall unless it happened to be a perfect aesthetic match and I was emotionally attached enough to the topic or the experience of putting it together to look past the fact that it’s a puzzle. fun fact, I did a job application over the autumn for a job I didn’t actually want, because it involved a personality test. My results involved zero for sociability and above average for aesthetic. So I suppose I’m someone who’ll do puzzles every day of her life alone in a dark room and never hang them on the wall because they are puzzles? I don’t even know what the hell I’m doing in this field of work. /quarter life crisis reloaded Indeed, yes, it was a couple days before yours. And thank you!

But ... IDK, I am only on second chapter, but to me it looks just like listing history, battles and politics and such. Not really a story, at least as far as have read. I want a story to follow the characters through their lifes, their psychologies and motivations and such, wrapped in poetic language. If I wanted to read history, I would read real-life history.

I know what you mean, I’d rather it was a more fleshed out novel too, but I still find that time period far more interesting than the main events of ASOIAF. In other news me and my gran and mini Sith went out to see one of my friends doing practice for showjumping, mrs Sith didn’t feel like coming out so we gave her some time to chill. We all had a nice fun day out with plenty of fresh air and mini Sith liked petting the horses but she wasn’t very good at giving them food, I had to do that but she had a very fun day.
