It's a banner day for fans of A Song of Ice and Fire! Earlier today, George R.R. Martin posted on his blog -- a space normally reserved for whining about NFL football and how hard writing is -- that he finally finished writing A Dance With Dragons. (He'd taken to referring to the book as "Kong," hence the reference.) So holy crap, it looks like that July 12 release date might just be true after all.
In other news, ski season in hell opens today.
This totally trumps the Game of Thrones-related link I had been planning to share today. Apparently, two yokels down in Florida got in a fight this last Sunday night over the latest episode of the series. An argument over who is "going to win" climaxed in a guy tossing his cousin out a window. (Perhaps an homage to young Bran Stark's fate at the end of the first episode?)
Here, as with Charlie Sheen, I'm not even sure what "winning" means. Who's going to win the struggle for the Iron Throne? I would think it fairly obvious that with four books down and more to come, no one has yet "won" in the world of Westeros.
But at least we'll soon be a thousand-plus pages closer to finding out.
Save a window. Read a book.
