BUM, BUM, BUM-BUM-BUM, BUM, BUM-BUM-BUM, BUM-BUM-BUM.

Oh yeah.

I want to marathon the first season on Saturday. We'll see how that goes. Not much else going on. Hunger Games got pushed back to this weekend, so there's that. Then just writin'.

I'll be practicing putting while waiting on people to come over to estimate how much it'll cost to have an extension patio-type room built to the ol' homestead. So that should last the entire weekend.

Just got back from the dentist, right at almost toothhurty! (they gave me a cookie though!) I've got a laptop on the bench to reload, along wiith a hard drive I apperently need to pull in my personal secondary PC, which is annoying. Also starting the buildup of the replacement chassis for the Primary PC. My ACTS 840 case finally arrived, along with the new water pump and control interface (A koolance RP-1200) The radiators aren't here yet, nor are the new quick disconnect fittings, so I'm not sure how far I'll get. I've also been debating reusing my existing reservoir or installing a different one so i can keep that in play when that case becomes the new secondary PC, so I may need to pick up one of those before I get too far along. I'm planning one triple 120mm radiator ont he top, and a second single 120 on the rear, which will be a net gain of one radiator core segment over what I have currently, which should compensate for the video card nicely (3GB 580 GTX) Now that the 680 GTX's are out, i might even be able to track down a second 580 without too much difficulty. I'll take some pictures of it all once I get further along.

I'm hopeing the rain lets up a little so I can plant a few more vegitables and get some fertalizer down in the garden sometime in here too. Got all my roses in, most of the veggies in (except for tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers, which are apperently not yet in season), I need to add a few more sugar snap peas and their associated pea trellis, and the perimiter anti bug marigolds (that trick really works well by the way if you plant them dense enough. most bugs won't even cross the line.)

Other than that, I dunno. maybe some reading?

I see your 8 bit and raise you one of these:

Give it a few seconds to get going though.

Hmm, I could start getting the GoT discs from Netflix; currently we're sitting on a copy of "Adventurers in Babysitting" that we likely won't be watching.

For my weekend, we're going up to my wife's sister's family, since they're having a shared birthday party for their two boys. It's at a bowling alley, and I'm looking to break 200.

I had the exact same thought.

Plus, I've already seen her tits.

I watched GoT last night. The hour passed by too quickly. Too much recap, too much imp and his *****, too much Catelyn Stark. Not enough Arya, not enough John Snow, not enough dragons.

I did yardwork this weekend.

I imagine that those who haven't read the books haven't the slightest idea what was happening in several of those scenes (e.g. the scene with Melisandre burning the wooden statues of the Seven).

Yeah, I was surprised that they jumped straight into that without letting the audience acclimate themselves to the characters a bit first.

Davos looks cool. Stannis is what you get if you smash Al Pacino and Jason Statham's heads together. Love the casting on this show.

This. I love the imp. And I wanted to see more dragons, but overall I enjoyed it. My husband never watched season 1, despite my insistence (nagging) that he'd like it. So I spent quite a bit of last night explaining to him who people were and what was going on. Next time I have to catch him up on something (I'm looking at you, Homeland), I'm just going to tie him down and force him to watch it on On Demand.
