A Song of Ice and Fire: The Starks and their wolves

Typed this up very quickly in the last 15 or so minutes at work, so I don't know how much sense it makes.

Ok, almost 800 pages into A Storm of Swords(and %^&#%^*&*&*$^ to that wedding feast...), and I have to ask..does Martin hate the Starks?  Does he have it in for them?  It seems that those poor people never get a break(yeah, I know, it's to make them stronger...)

But I mean, really...can't they at least get a teensy reunion?  Even one of them managing to spot another far away and not even getting to talk to them would be a plus...I was teased once this book, dare I hope?

Anyway, main point of the post is the Stark kids and their wolves...

( yes, I am possibly Stark obsessed )

Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre

Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre (which shall now be referred to as FTT) was one of the earlier cable successes.  It’s a collection of 26 fairy tales, many of which started then-big names(and some still are)  Robin Williams, Teri Garr, Liza Minelli, Mick Jagger, Barbara Hershey, Bernadette Peters, Susan Sarandon, Mary Steenbergen, and Christopher Reaves were in it off the top of my head.  The stories themselves range from tongue in cheek to close retellings of the original to Disney-like versions to a happy middle ground, whatever suited each tale and actors best, and they’re all self-contained, and range from about 40 minutes to an hour each.

My parents had copies of about half of them, so I got to watch them a lot when I was a teenager (up until my brother recorded over several…bah) And I had just started working my way through them when I got sidetracked by doramas last year(the fact that I had seen 4 of the 6 I watched multiple times growing up didn’t help, as it gave it a “comfy rewatch” status, as opposed to “new viewing” even though I hadn’t seen them in a long time and there are a lot of stories I haven’t seen yet)

As an aside, when I first learned that the series had been released on DVD and was reading Amazon reviews, and someone tore into this version of the Little Mermaid for “ruining” a beautiful romance…the Little Mermaid in FTT is almost word-for-word Andersen’s story…

( anyway, the ones I watched before getting sidetracked... )

mostly only perinent to those I IM with a lot

We have overtime back at work, which means I'll be online less.  Used to, it just meant that I'd be gone a few hours in the afternoon, but since there's no longer internet at work, it means I don't have a lot of internet time altogether.  Won't affect people I don't IM with and just talk to on LJ, as  I can still type up LJ entries and email them from my work email to my home email and post them when I get home, though it does mean less IM-style replies.

Don't know how long it'll last, but hopefully a while, as I could use the money.

So, if you don't see me available on IM for a month or so, you know why.
