Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tales

The last line was what sold this for me. The first bit is the slowest, the second one is a little meh, but I loved every one after those two. Getting ready for a wedding, quivering lip... Be sure to watch through the credits!

Game of Thrones Made Happy


In diet news, there's good and bad. Good and "bad", rather. Wednesday was the one week point, so I took my official weight then and wrote it on my tracking paper. 11 pounds lost. Yay! I needed to lose 10-15, so I'm really happy.

Yesterday was bad though. I snacked more than usual (four >100 calorie snacks instead of two), and then I had a really high calorie dinner. Damned personal pot pie, the box says it's two servings, but there's no way based on its size that it's anything but one person/personal. I hadn't intended to eat it all, but I ended up vacuuming it up. I was depressed all evening after that with typical stupid thoughts ("I went and ruined everything!"), but today I shook it off. Yesterday's total calories was higher than I was aiming for, but 1) this is the first time I slipped, 2) it was still lower than any pre-diet day's calorie count, 3) I've been so tight on calories, it's kind of not surprising I got to a Must Eat point. I also think I was dealing with cravings as much as real hunger. Plus it wasn't fast food or cookies or something, it was semi-reasonable food.

By no coincidence, yesterday was also the first day I didn't weigh myself. That's peachy keen fine though, as I really don't want to do it every day.

Adding tags to posts like this one always tickles me. I type 'die' to bring up diet, but the other thing it bring up is die die die.

Have a collection of videos!

I can't decide if this fan-made movie horribly bad or totally cool. Somehow it seems to be both! Lesson learned in it? One does NOT interrupt Breaker when he's making a phone call.



And holy cow, best cover of the Game of Thrones theme EVER. I like this version a whole lot more. (The original does little for me.) To me, this version has a lot more emotion and feels a metric ton more epic. It's not as "period" as the original, but I'd happily overlook that. I can't stop listening to it!

And for all you My Little Pony fans out there: My Little Watchmen! I would so very watch MLP, if it were more like Ponymen (the official title, but I like mine better!). :D

I keep meaning to sit down and write about this (as well as Hunter PvP in WoW) but I keep not having time for a long, thoughtful post.

The short version: Some of the best book(s) I've ever read! I'm still just on the first one, but I'm so very in love. Every single character is so perfect and real! And, somehow, in just a matter of words, the book pulls me so fully in! I wish I had more than an hour a day to read.

But that's not the point of this post! Eeeeee, I'm so excited about the news on the Game of Thrones HBO miniseries! Among great, great casting, the production team is the same one that did Rome and John Adams! Two of the most beautiful, well done miniseries in a while!

If you've not been following the casting news, Sean Bean is Eddard, Mark Addy is King Robert, Peter Dinklage is Tyrion (eee!).
