OPEN BAR: I see you've come to PD. I too like to live dangerously

[Roly Poly Oly-Garch]

For those who watched last night's Game of Thrones....now do you see why Petyr Baelish is the most magnificent of magnificent bastards?

He started the civil war, and used it to seize control of the Riverlands, in return for securing the release of Jaime Lannister.  He now has a virtually impregnable fortress in the Vale of Arryn, which nothing less than a dragon could take.  And he has in his control the only known to be living heir to Winterfell, and thus legitimate rule of the North.

He's taken two of the seven Kingdoms without anyone noticing, is no doubt manouvering to take the third and has House Tyrell over a barrel with regards to Joffrey's assassination.

Even Varys isn't so well accomplished.

Starting to see a lot of reveals in the show that haven't appeared in the book yet, which is both unsettling and awesome.

I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss what Varys may have going on, though. Those are some big, poofy-ass sleeves...lot of tricks can fit up there. Not to mention that I don't even think George R.R. Martin could say with any certainty what his real motivations are.

We also have some pressing issues in the North that need to be taken care of... Plus, the small matter of Arya becoming a shape-shifting ninja.

That is to say, SPOILER ALERT.

I'm calling it now, she's gonna be reminded of her list and go Sith Lord...either that or Martin's going to pass away sometime in 2023 never having finished the sixth book.

This is why I will not watch the series until it's over, or buy anymore of his books.  He's gonna pull a Robert Jordan.  Also, I do not wait 10 years between books.

I binged the first 5 over Audible in a couple of months. Left pretty deflated when I realized the pace at which they're coming out. The show is already beginning to diverge from the books in what could be significant ways down the road. I'm wondering if it's in preparation for 2016 when they'll be ahead of him.

Dammit.



Anybody got a tissue?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

4 more classes for my AAS. Mechanical Engineering
11 more classes for my AS. Science Degree
4 more classes for my mechatronics (robotics) certification
So far maintained a 2.5 GPA (B-) out of 4.

Then I fuck off and transfer for Biomedical Engineering at University of Houston.
I'm going put my techie skills into helping people. Because I hate HIPPIES/NEW AGERS. I'm going to drag these inbred pieces of shit to the 21st century.
Not even their gluten free diets can save them.

WOOHOO!!! SCIENCE!!!

I took my geology midterm today. I'm starting to understand why they call it rocks for jocks, I have never taken a 15-minute midterm before.

Got one problem definitely, absolutely wrong in that walk-out-of-the-class, Ofuck why did I answer with that? way. Oh well. 

Googlearth "Broham" Einstein was badmouthing geology before class. He said, and I quote, "Geology has a lot of holes in it, from an engineering perspective".

I desperately wish I could audio record this guy. He's AMAZING.

Listen fuckmo, if you wanted to take a complementary science that doesn't have a lot of explanatory gaps you should have taken chemistry.

I enjoyed geology back in school.  Not enough to make a go of it, but it was fun.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I totally just fucked off an entire hour that I should have used to read my biology book. Plus I'm abusing my access to the library's computers. LOL

It is. It's a fun class. And the whole thing is "we don't know for sure, but we think this is what's going on, and this is the evidence we have that supports that theory".

I liked the girl he was talking to; she said "Well I guess you just need to go into geology and answer all those questions".

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Broham was also saying that they don't like to do math in geology, and that's why a lot of colleges put it in the arts building.

Which I have personally never, ever heard of, but hey.

Broham, FWIW, is an engineering major.

Shit, I need to be working on my chemistry homework. Fuck my life.
