Spoiler Alert (Sort of) GoT Episode Three — All the Things

First things first, House Stark got one of the dragons in the breakup! I chose the blue one.

I thought I’d give you a preview of what my husband, who agreed to be with me for better or for worse, experiences during an episode of Game of Thrones. In this case, episode three of season eight:

Is that the red lady?
How high can dead people jump?
How much fire is in a dragon’s tank? Like, how many dead people per unit of fire? What is a unit of fire? Math. 
Greyworm has no balls but all the balls at the same time, eh?
Where’s the red lady? Can she not just light the trenches herself? 
There she is. Why is she walking like she’s got time?
Ok, she’s come in handy twice. 
Bran doesn’t hold grudges eh? Like at all. 
The ravens are kinda doing a Flying V.
Why don’t they have one dragon manning the trench at all times?
Which one is the Night King?
Did the Night King get a haircut? 
All of the survivors have PTSD at minimum.
Arya should win it all.
Mormont and Goliath – Mormont for the win (and loss).
Hide and seek, this time Arya for the win.
So is the dragon double dead now?
Night King looks like the guy who played James Bond (Heath: Daniel Craig?) Yeah!
Hide the living people who can’t defend themselves in a crypt full of dead people?!? I thought that was a terrible idea two episodes ago. 
Dragon can’t breathe fire on himself, f*ck. Why did Daenerys land?
Is Sam’s family gunna live? I’m concerned for their well being. 
It’s just never ending.
This is like watching the Leafs for 36 years… I still have hope. 
I don’t get it. Does the Night King come in peace, does he just wanna talk to Bran?
“You’re a good man.” kiss of death… (but true)
Theon…. uhhhh. You’ve come back from worse buddy. Come on!
That’s valerian steel. Sam’s sword. 
Anything can happen in 9 mins. Anything.
Wait, are there two dead dragons now?
Talk with words (Bran / Night King)!!!
John is roaring at a dragon like a hiker that happens upon bear might do.
How f*cking epic was that?! Can we rewind?!?!?! Arya. Wow. Just wow. 
Cersei is next. Green eyes!
Dragon is like a dog.
The necklace….. riiiight! 
The end. 

Stay great!

1983

Who needs toys when you’ve got yourself a pack of smokes? Am I right?

My cousin Jeff and I circa 1983. Keep in mind Big Brother wasn’t watching yet, that wouldn’t happen until a year later, in 1984. There was no supervision here, none. Jeff had likely just polished off his 6th beer and then passed out after this photo was taken (rest assured, I had the foresight to take away his keys earlier that afternoon).

Stay great!

Basically, basic

I don’t think this is what Yves had in mind.

On a related tangent, this coat can sometimes be a problem for the people on account of the fur on its hood — it is the warmest, most Calgary appropriate jacket I’ve ever owned. On the day my husband bought it for me I was scheduled to go to my vegan cousin’s comedy show, she was headlining. I wasn’t sure if it was cool to show up wearing Wile E. Coyote’s brother, so I asked.

This is what consideration looks like folks:

She was cool with it.

Stay great!

Equal Pay for Equal Work

Olivia earns nine eggs to Declan’s every one egg. In our house it is equal pay for equal work – Olivia worked harder. Then there is taxation and such. Heath and I take however many of the eggs we want, based on no previously agreed upon formula (this year it was roughly 5 of the millions of eggs these kids got from the fly-by-night rabbit they call the Easter bunny).

Then the chocolate eggs become communal property.

Olivia: “Here you go Deckin [Declan], Deckin, let me help you.”

And that is how toddlers do Easter (and Halloween).

Stay great!

All the blisters.

The answer: the heels got the bandaids, much to the chagrin of their lesser loved neighbours, the toes and such (and such refers to other parts of my feet like the sides and undertoe areas). I considered just buying new feet, but I’d probably get blisters trying to break those in too.
