It’s actually going to happen. HBO is finally bringing George R. R. Martin’s “A Game of Thrones” to television on April 17. And it looks as if it might actually be good. Yipee! “A Game of Thrones,” the first book in George R. R. Martin’s fantasy series, “A Song of Ice and Fire,” rocked my world when I first read it in 1997, proving you really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Thrones is an awesome, unexpectedly rich story that twists and turns all over the place, constantly surprising and challenging readers to keep up. It’s truly one-of-a-kind and deserves to be made into an amazing television series. HBO seems to agree. It certainly has devoted a lot of time and energy to the series. The network acquired the rights to Martin’s books way back in 2006 and has been working on the series ever since, hiring such notable actors as Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey and shooting on location in Malta and Northern Ireland. According to Martin, HBO has remained very faithful to his books and previews look very promising. I’m very excited to watch the series unfold on April 17.

“To Say Nothing of the Dog” by Connie Willis is the most brilliant book. Case in point: “It seems he’d been employed by a family who’d gone out to India, and he was unable to accompany them because of a sensitivity to curry.” A sensitivity to curry. Do you see what I mean???… Brilliant. I also really like Cole Rise’s photographs. Highly photoshopped, but ethereal and dreamy. Which is what I should be doing right now; being dreamy. I mean dreaming. I should be dreaming. But I’d like to be dreamy, too.
