Game Of Thrones – April 17 2011



As you maybe aware I have finished reading Game Of Thrones and loved it. I have been looking around the internet to see what I can find out and I didn't realise how popular the book are. So HBO are showing the series on Sky Atlantic on the 17th April 2011, so about 3 months today...

I can't wait, this is how much I enjoyed the book. It is definitely not something I would have gone and bought but after finishing it I realised I should always keep my options open when considering books.

The cast choices are good but I wonder if I could have chosen better???

The Cast is as follows-

* Mark Addy as King Robert Baratheon
* Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy
* Sean Bean as Eddard "Ned" Stark
* Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen
* Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Ser Jaime Lannister
* Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister
* Michelle Fairley as Catelyn Stark
* Aidan Gillen as Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
* Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon
* Iain Glen as Ser Jorah Mormont
* Kit Harington as Jon Snow
* Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister
* Isaac Hempstead-Wright as Bran Stark
* Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen
* Richard Madden as Robb Stark
* Rory McCann as Sandor "The Hound" Clegane
* Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark
* Maisie Williams as Arya Stark

Alfie Allen is Lilly Allens brother he has been in a few things but I am not a fan and I wonder how he got the role..... Sean Bean is in it, legend that he is. I think I would have put him in the series as he would be the first person you would think of to get his sword out like Lord Of The Rings.... A few other great choices are Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Iain Glen, Mark Addy and Peter Dinklage.







All I am going to say is give it a try, you will more than likely enjoy it.

Finally Finished Game Of Thrones.

Its Sunday, I am chilling after a day with the little man which has been good. I have been doing chores and trying to get stuff sorted and I have realised I have got lazy. I really need to get some motivation back!!

Yesterday I finished Game of thrones and it was awesome, one of the best books I have read in ages.



This means I can get on reading A Clash Of Kings which is the second installment of A Song Of Ice And Fire.



I can't believe Game Of Thrones has 70 or so chapters.... Holy crap....

Anyway that is all from moi, I will post more about A Clash Of Kings when I get past the first few chapters.

Routines

I am so angry right now, I have been up since 6am and need to be up again tomorrow at 6am..... So I wanted an early night, alas its 11pm and I am still awake.  The reason..... Noah and Catherine!!! Catherine decided it would be a good idea to put Noah to sleep 30 minutes or more before his dinner time which meant he was wide awake and would not go to sleep at 7:30pm.  She went out and left him with me, which obviously is not an issue.  However, the sleep he had caused him to still be awake now and because he was with me he did not want to sleep, even though I tried and tried.

This just goes to show what routines babies should be in and what they all need to learn from an early age.  Otherwise shit like this happens!!! This adds to the stress and it doesn't help me get better, it pushes me closer to the edge.  Catherine however seems to think this is not an issue and thinks I am blowing this out of proportion.... Maybe I am but I am tired and don't have the luxury of having a hobby or a bit of time away....

It also pisses me off as things STILL have not been done when I have politely asked.......

Rant over..... Just about.....

Spitting Image......

Well I think it is..... What do you think?



Stacey 'Fergie' Ferguson and The Princess from Shrek......

Anyway........

Work was pants, quiet and pants.  I have ran out of lenses so back to glasses until at least next Wednesday.  I am finally watching Green Zone which is quite good, not exactly sure what its about but I am sure I will find out.  I also applied for that job, fingers crossed.

A wicked programme I have been watching at the moment is Man V Food my good friend @josemajoras got me on to it and I have set my Sky+ to tape the next 14 episodes..... Jackpot.

Watch it if you can.....



Now that is some serious food!!!!!

Anyway, Green Zone is calling.

Back To Work.

So its my first day back at work in 2 weeks and I wondered when I woke up what it would bring.  Well rest assured it was good, not great but good.  I am back writing peoples cars off which I do enjoy, not sure why I expect its because I have a evil streak which likes to see people in unfortunate situations.... lol.  Maybe I just enjoy the job because I am good at it and its better than some of the other jobs I have had.

I have applied for a new job today so fingers crossed as I know its something which I will love doing....

I also had my contact lens assessment today and the guy said the contacts that I have in are great but I need a certain type of lens due to my stigmatism so they are going to put them on order and I need to go in again.  They are monthly contacts which means they are cheaper!!!! Jackpot!!

I also love my MacBook, it is the daddy.......

Last Day Of Holiday.......

Well it is my final day of holiday and its been hard.  Noah has been a wingey bugger and I feel shit, but now he is asleep I can try and get over my headache.

It has been 2 weeks of ups and downs and I don't know if I could do it again.  All I know is I need another break!!

I am thinking of joining the mobile me community (mobileme.com) from Apple.

I also watched Shutter Island today, it was very good..... Gets you thinking but is obvious when it gets towards the end of the film.

We went to Kevs Birthday BBQ last night it was good but we had to leave early, I forgot Noahs pushchair.


Anyway, time to rest some more.....
