This is adorable.
Dying of hilarious, and it’s even better if you’ve read the books.

The Dornishman’s wife was as fair as the sun,
and her kisses were warmer than spring.
But the Dornishman’s blade was made of black steel,
and its kisses were a terrible thing.
The Dornishman’s wife would sing as she bathed,
in a voice that was sweet as a peach.
But…

It’s a uniquely American prudishness. You can write the most detailed, vivid description of an ax entering a skull, and nobody will say a word in protest. But if you write a similarly detailed description of a penis entering a vagina, you get letters from people saying they’ll never read you again. What the hell? Penises entering vaginas bring a lot more joy into the world than axes entering skulls.

Ok, so:
- I finished Storm of Swords last night and OH GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY THESE BOOKS. I think I threw the book down and sort of…roared? I think that’s how you’d describe the noise I made. Whatever it was, it certainly startled and confused the boyfriend, whose response was, as always, a knowing grin and “Just keep reading!” I think I’m gonna take my first official break from the series though, to finish a hardcover book I don’t want to deal with bringing back to DC when break ends.
- I finally watched the Glee Christmas episode. Darren Criss is now officially the only bearable thing about that show (and not even just because he’s so pretty), aside from the occasional appearances of Grant Gustin, and IS there a less tactful song to sing at Christmas in a homeless shelter than Feed the World, you douchebags? As you may have surmised, I found it extraordinarily meh at most points. Other points were skipped entirely due to lack of any redeeming value. Yet I cannot stop watching this show. Guilty pleasure? Extremely guilty? 25-to-Life guilty?
- I’m about to finish American Horror Story. God, it’s good to have access to the internet and a big ol laptop screen of my own again. Yes, two episodes to go, and I am ON IT.
Of course all of those things are totally frivolous and I haven’t really done any of the useful productive things I need to get done before school starts again. But I have like nine days before I go back! That’s more time than I usually give myself to get more useful stuff to do than this!
Ok…American Horror Story…GO!
