While we wait the final few weeks before it starts up again, can we just take a moment to acknowledge that Jamie Lannister is named... Jamie?
...Really? A sort of modern, androgynous normal average name? Jamie? Hm.

Game of Thrones - coming soon!!!
I can't believe it's almost time for Game of Thrones to return. It's felt so, so long.

2013 to-do: See a scary movie
I am totally scared of scary movies. I know lots of people love the horror/paranormal genre, but it just freaks me the f out, and in a traumatic way, not a fun way.
Honestly, I don't even know that I've seen any scary movies. (Does Scream count? Or was that more just a cultural phenomenon? Because I saw that one. PS - It was scary! Even with Courteney Cox.)
It seems that a lot of people like scary movies because you get all riled up, but then know that the premises are so absurd that there's nothing to worry about. I have a hard time with the second part. After seeing Rosemary's Baby in college, I remember crying from fear and genuinely asking my boyfriend: "Do you promise not to sell your soul to the devil and in exchange let the devil rape me to impregnate me with devil spawn and then let everyone trick me into letting me think that I'm nuts? Do you???"
Anyway, I want to enjoy this genre! It seems fun! But I'm... a-sceeeerrrrrrrrred! So I decided to make one of my 2013 "to-do"s be to see a scary movie (maybe, just maybe, more than one).
This new movie Mama looks pretty spook-tacular! And it stars Jessica Chastain (who I like) and Jamie Lannister (!!!! who I LOVE!), so maybe that means it's also pretty good? What do you think?
Do you like scary movies? Any ideas on how I should tackle this undertaking? Start in movie theaters or at home? Will I have nightmares?

Game of Thrones: Is Winter Ever Coming?!
...Do you ever feel like Game of Thrones is NEVER going to come back?
Sigh.
Sigh.

At least this video with little interview-ettes with all the new cast members was released recently:
I haven't read book 3, so this really means nothing to me, but it fires me up. Especially Gareth from "The Office", the guy with the weird top-knot and all the cute kids. Can't wait!
