1. The George RR Martin Game of Thrones Panel at comic con - via George RR Martin's blog:

3:00pm - 4:00 pm The GAME OF THRONES panel, an hour long discussion of the HB0 series with showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and actors Lena Headey (Cersei), Peter Dinklage (Tyrion), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys), Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo), Kit Harrington (Jon Snow), Nicolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime). I'll be moderating.

4:30pm - 5:45pm The GAME OF THRONES cast and I will be signing posters in the autograph area, AA1.


Now I want to go to Comic Con - but I can't afford to go to Comic Con which is in San Diego. I want to see that panel - specifically Headley, Harrington, Dinklage and Costa Walda - who blew me away in Thrones with their renditions of those characters - it was as if they jumped off the page.

Oh casting spoilers - Stephen Dilliane and Oliver Ford Davies have joined the cast as Stannis and Master Cressan (who I can't remember at all). They've also cast Melisandra.

2. A thought-provoking and well written book review by Doris Egan at http://tightropegirl.livejournal.com/21151.html.

It is regarding a non-fiction book about a Dressmaker in Afghanistan during the reign of the Taliban.
She compares the book to a James Tipetree story, making me want to order some James Tipetree via kindle assuming Amazon sells them.

Sigh: Going through The Wire withdrawl. I'm fascinated with urban planning, social criticism, what people do for a living, and sociological organizational issues - the Wire is like crack to me. I can't get enough of this particular narrative trope. It and Game of Thrones - I fell in love with.

Off to make dinner and lunch for tomorrow. Toodles.

You made me check out Gaiman's blog! But that's not me... I was sitting near whoever took that photo (ie looking at Sir Terry & Neil from the same perspective as that photo), and I was wearing a very silly hat... seen here:

Oh, you weren't the woman in blue then? I admittedly am quite bad at facial recognition. ;-)

Me too (also bad at facial recognition)... it causes me trouble in some movies or TV shows where they cast people who look too much alike to me.
