Nate and I watched the first season of Game of Thrones, a show on HBO. There are ten episodes, and the show is based off the book series 'A Song of Fire and Ice.' I have to admit, the episodes are a little slow-moving sometimes; you can tell what scenes -- mostly dialogue -- would have been cut or shortened or implied if it was a movie (or set of movies,) but the storyline and characters are good and interesting enough to have kept us watching.
And then we get to the end of the 9th episode and Nate FREAKSOUT about the ending and insists we keep watching, even though it's late and we both have work the next morning. Because really, how can you just DO THAT? I mean...HBO didn't do it, the books did, but still. Totally didn't see it coming. And yes, I'm being elusive on purpose in case you want to go watch the season without my spoiling it for you. And if you have seen it, you KNOW what I'm talking about. This is why I usually like to read the books before I watch -- I like to be prepared.
REALLY, HOW CAN THEY JUST DO THAT?
edit: I think my favorite storyline is Daenerys's. Dragons are just too cool.

human nature (ten on tuesday)
As always, head on over to Roots and Rings to link up with Chelsea!
1. What’s the recipe for your favorite drink? (Smoothie, alcoholic, coffee, whatever.) Chai Tea mix and milk. I just love chai.
2. What kind of razor do you use? Bic Soleil. I've contemplated going back to using one of the Venus w/ the disposable heads, but I just can't bring myself to spend the money to start it off.
3. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character? Cookie Monster? or Oscar.
4. What makes the perfect salad? (Lettuce type, toppings, dressing, etc.) Iceberg. Those wedge ones. Oh, man. I do also enjoy a good Waldorf, with the nuts, cheese and berries. Yum.
5. What was your favorite subject in school? Chorus. I like singing. Plus, it was super easy =)
6. What’s your favorite summer tradition? I'm not positive I have any summer traditions. Maybe I should change that...
7. Do you suffer from season allergies? How do you combat them? I don't have any seasonal allergies. Knock. On. Wood.
8. How often do you have to charge your cell phone? Usually just while I sleep. I know its bad for the battery to leave it plugged in all night, but it's the only time I remember. =P
9. Do you have a bucket list? I have a list of things I'd like to accomplish, but I haven't updated it in a while. So...sort of?
10. Do you have any desire to go back to school?
Yes! Though, I'm not sure what for. I'm very indecisive.

i am a junkie
Of the Food Network. And HGTV. And sometimes TLC. I just can't help it. This is the second time I've watched this rerun of Next Food Network Star today...and I'm still kind of watching it. Why? Who knows. I'm a glutton for rerun punishment.
Happy Father's Day! I sent my Dad a card, but he didn't get it yet. Super lame.
My computer at work on Friday got a virus from somewhere or another (sad. face.) around 11:30 in the morning. It's something nasty, and doesn't allow me to even see my desktop background (even though it's there and working fine) and gives me false alerts about memory execution failing and such. Our IT dude called it tenacious, because at around 4:00PM, after having the computer repair itself and running a freakin' three hour virus scan and deletion, it still wasn't gone. I don't know where it came from, because I didn't open anything that I hadn't already opened on the computer before, so who knows where it came from. But it was running another virus scan when I left on Friday, so hopefully that wiped it out? Of course, Brian (our accountant) was out, so I was only one there who actually knew how to do the stuff that was supposed to happen to the purchase orders -- way to make me feel necessary -- and I couldn't check my emails. It was el stupido.
In any case, our trip to New England was awesome. The wedding was beautiful, even if the weather wasn't, and visiting with friends and family just made me even more homesick. The feeling has been appeased a bit, however, because my sister is here! And to escape her bible-study offering housemates, she came and hung out with us Friday night (for sloppy joes -- nom!) and then on Saturday, Nate and I rented our first Zipcar, picked up Liz and went shopping. We had Five Guys for lunch, then proceeded to drive back and forth between Target, QFC and Northgate Mall as many times as possible in a 5 hour period. I'm only slightly kidding -- we retraced our steps multiple times because we kept forgetting things. And as it stands, we still forgot grocery items (after hitting up Safeway, also,) and somehow we misplaced a bag from Target containing two packs of hangers which is part of the reason we were going to Target in the first place. We are winners.
I'm looking forward to summertime, when the weather is supposed to be gorgeous here, I get to hang out with my sister more and Nate is working a desk job very close to my desk job, so we can meet for lunch and walk together in the morning. Yay!
