castalieAfter reading a ridiculous "article" last week - written by a woman, and for the New York Times, no less - about the tv adaptation of Game of Thrones, women and fantasy, that basically explained that women don't like that genre and could only be interested in aforementioned tv adaptation thanks to the sex scenes that have been added - because everyone who's read the novel could tell you that there is not a single sex scene in aforementioned novel. I'm sure Daenerys would confirm it - it was a delight to read that new article by Susan C. Young about women who enjoy sci-fi/fantasy in general and women who are fans of A Game of Thrones in particular.
The show premiere is sitting on my HD but as I keep saying anyone who'll ask (or not) I'm still determined to finish reading the book before watching the show. Even though there's no way I could be spoiled since I'm ahead. Whatever, I'll stick by my resolution! I just hope I'll love the same characters than I do in the novel; I don't know, imagine the actor/actress doesn't do it for me? It'd be very sad... I'm not worried about Eddard (I mean, Sean Bean, dude!) but what about my other favourites? *fingers crossed*
On RL news, awesome holidays are still awesome. Today was lunch at a diner followed with a loooong stroll along the Canal Saint Martin before we got home and left again to go to the city pool for a little swimming. We've had our fill of sun the past few days, it's pretty awesome; incidentally, today I wore my new dress and it made me very happy :-) At this rate, there's no way we'll want to go back to work next tuesday lol But guess we'll have to deal and be reasonable adults and everything?
