Latest Obsession: Game of Thrones

Wow- did any of you out there see Game of Thrones last night? I haven’t read the books, so last night was a big surprise to me- horrifying, but I absolutely cannot wait for the season finale next week! I need to get on the interwebz tonight to do some research. Any thoughts on if the pretty bride was really his daughter, & then why did he only show them the homely girls? To scare them? I also kinda missed who the Lord was sitting next to Catelyn Stark.

Anyhoo, back when I was digging on Downton Abby, I was obsessed with reading, eating, and dressing everything Downton Abby. So, here is what I recommend if you’re digging on GoT right now.

• Read: Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet. One of my favorite books. of. all. time.
• Go to your local Ren Fest. Super nerd fun, but right out of that time with (fake) jousts, games like throwing an ax into a wood target, and everyone yells huzzah!

We went to this one in MD & it’s the biggest in the nation (I think or I could be making that up). You should come out & go with me! It's the best people watching you'll ever get. 

A lot of bra-less ladies that should have support are there.

Just take pics of your wives with strangers in creepy costumes- it's all good.

I have no words. (It was easy in the 90s when we went)

• Buy some mead  (yummy honey wine) & drink in a pimp goblet while you watch Game of Thrones OR if you’re brave, you can make it yourself. 
• I also kinda want to do some cool braids in my hair, but my hair is too fine and I'm too uncoordinated and would look more like Osha (right) than a dragon queen (left). 

 
Do you watch Game of Thrones or would you ever go to a Ren Fest?
