The cool thing about our library is that it has Lego on Thursdays. That was our main excuse for going to the library on the 28th. That, and they had free wifi, which we didn't, since our rotor was fried from the power outages. I eagerly read through the new fanfictions on the site and wrote down some new ideas on my google drive, since it can be accessed without wifi. While there, I decided to get a book or two or 25 since we had no TV or wifi.
In Ottawa, Maureen had mentioned that she was reading "A Song Of Ice And Fire", or "Game Of Thrones", to you non-nerds. The title sparked a memory in my tiny brain. I had borrowed the first book in that series at least twice, but never got the urge to read it, due to the non-compelling prologue. If you'll recall, I've got sort of a thing for Maureen and a chance to impress her is a chance I should always take, so I borrowed it again.
After settling in the basement with a record and a perfectly stacked pile of pillows allowing me to read lying down comfortably, I started to read.
The book started slow, with the prologue still being confusing and a seemingly random cluster of characters populated it. It slowly got more interesting, with more characters being in more than one chapter. I got really into the story. I even tried to use it as an excuse to not have to go out and play with my siblings. ("But, Mom, there are son many characters being introduced and dying and it's only page 30. If I leave now, I'll forget them all." Flimsy, I know, but it was worth a shot.)
That night, while taking a short break, I saw an ad that caught my attention: a channel was airing the entire first season of Game Of Thrones. This excited me greatly, because I could now see how exactly Peter Dinklage played Tyrion Lannister. I had seen him host SNL, and was greatly surprised that he was on GOT.
