Nail art

[yakalskovich]

I did the newsprint-on-nails thing I'd found while I was sick. Yay for public holidays -- nothing to do except watch 'Game of Thrones' and paint my nails. My toenails are now blue, with white lacy stickers.

And yay for the first real magic on GoT, apart from those zombies. So far, it had been heavy on swords and light on sorcery.

ETA upon finishing the episode of 'GoT': What?? WHAT??? WTF you what just now??? **mind boggles**

The newsprint on nails thing looks interesting. Days of idle time usually lead me to stumbleupon which just amazes me when I find videos like this :)

I want to watch GoT but don't get the proper station :( Books are added to my Amazon list though, should I ever get through the now epic-looking reading list.

That video's just amazing.

As are the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' books. I'll be interested to hear what you think of them.

ROFL!!! That is so true. Queen Cersei would have Lady Macbeth for breakfast...

So tell me what you're all talking about - they killed others than in the books?

[yakalskovich]

Nope. But I haven't read the book yet. And I wasn't spoilered on that. I don't avoid spoilers; they help me understand what is going on. But for some reason, that one had passed me by.

That was certainly a 'put the book down and go for a walk' moment. But by the end of book two I'd hardened my heart [as far as I could] and since then have been telling myself 'It's only a story, words on paper, don't allow yourself to be manipulated'.

[yakalskovich]

Yes, it is. And, as you pointed out, the actors still get paid for every episode they're in, whether their characters live or die.

But that's the nature of fiction -- the readers/viewers DO care about the characters. I know that I do, at least. And this came as a complete surprise to me.

May I just say that even though I knew it was coming, I was completely devastated.

Ned! *snif*

[yakalskovich]

I didn't know, had missed that spoiler somehow, and I was totally incredulous.

WTF shall they do without him?

^ My exact reaction.

I staaaaared at the screen while the credits rolled, just totally incredulous.
