Just watched the trailer of season 2 of Game of Thrones which covers the events on the book A Clash of Kings.
Looking to be another epic (I can’t believe I just used that word) season!
UPDATE March 7, 2012: Second trailer is out!
Dorian For Symbian
Michelle has been reading a PDF version of A Game of Thrones on her Nokia 5800. I had been reading the same PDF on my iPhone before I got an ePub version and knew was a chore reading. So I searched for an ePub reader for her phone. A quick search got led me to Wijnands’ blog and to the Dorian reader. It requires Qt which is pretty big but it works great!
Mormont The Bear
Jeanne, Michelle, and I went to High Street for a Father’s Day dinner. After dinner we dropped by Animaland and she grabbed this black bear. Michelle tried to show her a giraffe, an elephant, even a polar bear but she wouldn’t let go of the black bear. So we decided to adopt the black bear. And since it was my day, I got to name him Mormont.
A Game of Thrones
I persevered and eventually went through the book and soon after The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I also went through the Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys (one book every afternoon after class). During high school, I kept reading: going through Tolkien’s books again, suspense/thrillers notably The Bourne series and even crap like Mills and Boons(!). During college, there was a whole bunch: Robotech, the Robot Series, the Foundation Series, the Clancy books, a bunch of Crichton books, the Dragonlance Chronicles, and more.
