The Coffee House

Which is why, @SquarePeg , when faced with a weekend alone with nothing to do, my answer to "what should I do?" is usually SLEEEEEEEEP!

Hmm. Sleep is good. I'd rather just blow my brain cells watching TV.

Caught up on all shows we're currently watching. Have to wait until Sunday for new Twin Peaks, Game of Thrones, and John Oliver.

What the heck do I watch now? I guess I could finish the Great British Baking Show. I think the last episode I watched was pastry?

Anyone watch GOT, no major spoilers below, but just in case, its in spoiler quotes:

Spoiler

The last season has felt really rushed and kinda thrown together in a very haphazard way. The whole "let's go beyond the wall and capture a white walker" thing is just stupid. Who would do that? I mean, I know it was to essentially try to unite all the forces/etc, but come on.

And, where did all those "red shirts" come from when they went beyond the wall?

I have not yet started the latest season of Orange is the New Black. I know that as soon as I do, I'm going to be obsessed. I might have to leave that for Labor Day weekend. The rest of the world is out and about and having bbqs and driving to beaches, and I'll be sequestered with Netflix, cats, and popcorn

Yes! Totally forgot about that. Definitely need to watch that.

And, Transparent...

Spoiler: Don't read if you're not caught up on GOT or if you don't care about GOT.

I was thinking the same thing about the red shirts, lol. Everytime someone was getting eaten by the dead I was trying to see who it was and then thinking Who TF is that? The parallels with TWD and them being called Walkers is kind of weird right? The scene on the little island in the lake reminded me of TWD season 1 when Rick was trapped in the tank.

I don't feel like it's rushed so much as moving faster than previous seasons. I'm ok with that. I wonder how much of that is due to being beyond the books???? The books were excruciatingly slow paced and now the series is one season removed from them. What's your bet on who gets to kill Cersei? I'm going with Sansa.

Come on by and bring your macro. The ginger is blooming, wonderful fragrance and the blooms only last a single day. We'll BBQ, Gary will make some pasta or breads, watch some ball in the patio. If you have ants in your pants, there's:

Very tempting...you should be getting paid by CA travel and tourism budget. I've got enough ff miles to take me there but unfortunately CA is a bit too far away for a one night trip!

Wherever I go this weekend will need to include the dog. He's been left alone too much this summer. Looks like a hike will be on the agenda!

Spoiler: GOT Talk

I don't watch TWD, so I can't help with any parallels!

The red shirts. I'm somewhat angry at that, because when they had all those scenes (which were beautiful cinematography, BTW) of them walking beyond the wall to meet the white walkers, there weren't like 20 of them. Only the main 7 guys. So, to have so many red shirts get killed was annoying to me, because it didn't follow logic.

But, the whole being trapped in the middle of the island thing... if the Night King has such good aim with throwing things -- namely killing the dragon, why didn't he just throw a few spears at the men on the island?

Also, if the white walkers can't swim, how did they get those chains on the dragon to pull the dragon out of the water?

Also, why wasn't there enough time for Benjen to get on the horse with Jon Snow? The white walkers were like a quarter mile away.

I didn't read the books ( ) but from what I gather, Martin hasn't had any real say in the last few seasons, so it's really just the HBO writing team that got us to where we are now.

RE: Cersei, oh, that's a good question. Who says she's going to die? Ha. I hope she does, but she is a good villain. I actually kinda think she's going to die from a side character, rather than from any main character. But, if I had to pick a main character, I'd say either Sansa or Jon Snow or Dany.

I'm waiting for Littlefinger to die, as well. That guy bugs me, he's so creepy. Kinda hoping that the whole Sansa/Arya spat is just for LF's amusement and that they're actually going to eff him over in the end.

Also also, I think that Arya is going to use her assassin powers to kill the Night King, since we now know that they essentially only need to kill one person to make the entire dead army fall. Poor planning on the Night King part.. unless the Wights don't get killed from killing the Night King.

Today is a BAD DAY.....

Two weeks ago our dog had a painful shoulder/limp that wet took her too get checked just in case; perfectly fine from that a few days later. However since then she's gone downhill in other ways and this last week has hardly eaten any food. But despite that she's got bright eyes, has moments of being bouncy and even caught a pheasant the other day. So today we took her in for a full scan and discovered that she's got extensive lung cancer. She's 11 1/2 years old and its way beyond any treatment - sadly those breathless/huffing/puffing moments that one can so easily see as signs now were put down more to her just getting a little older and being an active dog most of the time (pulling on walks - charging around and generally being a husky).
So she's on antibiotics and steroids. Vet thinks she's got weeks to maybe two months before it will be time to put her down. So time for her to enjoy life a bit; have good food and such. Lung cancer apparently doesn't cause pain due to a lack of pain receptors or such in the lungs themselves and she's not showing pain overtly. Still a very grim and dark day


Then to add insult a company who produces miniatures/games that I play and was running a Kickstarter to launch new factions into the game has closed shop today. Granted this is nothing like as bad as our dog but its still a bad thing.


So yeah bad day today

Sorry about your dog. They are like family members. Cook has taken ill and has barely eaten the last week or so.

Because of Cook's age (14), she travels with us on all our trips.
