A Song of Ice and Remix
Oh, hey, Remix is happening. Just signed up! It's been a few years since I participated, and more than a year since I posted a story at all; I'm hoping this will get the ficcy juices flowing. Kept my offers to three fandoms to make things less stressful, especially since I expect to be working on a vid of some kind around the same time. We'll see how it goes with new mods.
Other than that, things here are as usual, except for the wild turkey I saw pecking at the sidewalk a block from Harvard Square this morning. In the voice of Michael Palin, beautiful plumage. Two other passersby were filming it with their phones.
Been exercising almost every day and cooking to take better care of myself, which of course doesn't leave as much room for fannish activity, but still, there has been time this week to start reading A Game of Thrones. About300 400 pages in now. It's not as overwrought as I'd feared; the mental effort goes to keeping track of all the names -- I can't imagine how much harder that would be without having first seen the show to have faces to pin them to -- rather than ignoring purple prose.
Also I printed this out and hung it up in a simple frame in the kitchen yesterday for laughs whenever I wash dishes.
Oh, and a childhood friend and I are going to see Eddie Izzard live in May!
On a break now between making chicken paprikash and roasted vegetable soup for the week and going to a former classmate's for a dinner party. She and her husband have one of the most beautiful houses I've ever seen, and one of the two best of anyone around my age, yet they just decided to move. I suppose I can't complain, since they'll be a few minutes closer to me. Tonight's challenge was going to be figuring out whether to leave too early to watch Cosmos here or stay too late to watch Cosmos there, but lo, it appears the episodes do appear on fox.com after the fact.

And it gets no easier, particularly with the gap between books for those not reading them all at once. (Luckily I read them one after the other and have skipped the last book because I've forgotten all the names/families/connections.)
Saw Eddie live last year and it was "glorious." :))

Ya, worse than the gap between seasons, I'm sure, and even for that I have to watch the previous season finale to remind myself what the heck was going on. I've never encountered another source where so many things happened to so many people and yet in the big picture hardly anything moved.
