Comfortably numb - if I can't use aleve, two glasses of apple wine and a massage cushin works.
Watched the first two episodes of S3 Game of Thrones last night - can't really tell you how it differs from the books, because I don't remember Storm of Swords that well (except for a few key moments which are unforgettable (an understatement) plus, just in case I do forget them, Martin keeps reminding me of them in the latter books, but those moments haven't happened yet in the tv series).
That said? Is this season spoiling me on Theon Greyjoy arc in Dance of Dragons? I can't remember the character being in Storm of Swords. (Keep in mind, I read Storm of Swords in 2010...it's been a while.) [ETA: According to the comments? That would be a resounding YES!
By the way, don't read the comments if you are unspoiled for the books past Clash. We have spoilers up to ADWD, which I'm reading as we speak. Poor Theon. I didn't like the character, but seriously no one deserves what he got. GRRM is one sadistic writer - he can give Stephen King a run for his money, and I honestly didn't think that was possible, actually he can give Joss Whedon, Vince Gilligan, the guy writing Walking Dead, and most of the Saw movies a run for their money. So if you have issues with that sort of thing? Stop now. Don't say I didn't warn you.]
The nice thing about the tv series is it has clarified who certain characters are...because I have a tendency to lose track of them in the books or rather track of who they are exactly.
Not surprising. There's a lot of characters in these books. I also have lost track of who people are in the tv series at times, but the writers are nice and remind me.
