I'm still trying to finish that beast!

Me too. The hardest thing for me, is "cleansing my mind" of the television series, and letting the book do what its supposed to, lol.

yay trav! thanks for reminding me i need to read the book, too! lol

oh wait, it's NOT Monday, is it? It's NEXT Monday?! I was all in a panic... movie night is screwing up my LED time sense

yes, next monday! july 8!

and lol

I'm eventually going to have to dig up the videos, because I REALLY want to see Peter Dinklage play Tyrion Lannister... it's like the character was written for him, from what I've seen of him elsewhere.

I'm a huge fan of Peter. Have you seen The Station Agent

yes, that's where I first ran across him -- brilliant

Yeah. When the producers of the show consulted George R.R. Martin about casting, the only suggestions he had ready were Peter Dinklage for Tyrion and Sean Bean for Eddard.
