I used to spend a lot of time on Twitter as patman23, but Elon Musk turned it into the proverbial Nazi Bar.
I used to blog a lot about Game of Thrones, but that's just sad to bring up, I feel. (I'm happy to talk about Game of Thrones though, pleasantly.)

Yesterday was my godson's 25th birthday. His parents are having a party for him today, but they wisely scheduled it for today at noon, so everyone can go there, celebrate, and get home well in advance of the snow onset tonight.

Quick continuance of #AKOTSKSpoiler talk from earlier this week...
I loved the Master of the Games - when admitting that he was joking about the impalement torture device called the Ashford Chair - followed up with "This is the Reach, not the Riverlands" which reminded me when Nurse Dana on -

Oh, our Dungeons and Dragons group started a new campaign with new characters this weekend.
I took no damage! (I dealt no damage either, but at least I conferred 1d6 bardic inspiration to our party's kobold, but he didn't need it.)

Okay, I'm going to talk about the premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, particularly things I liked.
I won't be spoiling future stuff, but I will be talking about the episode, so I will be using the AKOTSKSpoiler tag.

When is the statute of limitations up on talking about the first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? I really liked it (shocker) and I want to mention some stuff that I liked. Even that one scene. Especially that one scene.
Anyway, I don't want to spoil anyone who hasn't seen it.

Here in lovely Germantown, Maryland (the jewel in Montgomery County's crown) it is a chilly -8.33 degrees Centigrade. (That's 17 degrees to those familiar with the Fahrenheit scale)

What do we think? That there will be a different theme song for the credits of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? Or will they re-use the main Game of Thrones tune like they did for House of the Dragon?

We are back home in Maryland. It is 33 degrees F. (For my friends who use Celsius, that is just above zero C.)
This morning in Orlando, Florida (where we were this morning) it was 31 degrees F. (Just below zero C.)
These are weird times.

Grace and I rode the Monsters Unleashed ride at Epic Universe twice. Im currently sheltering on the dragon-infested island of Berk while Grace is on a roller coaster and the rest of the team is on some ride with a 3 hour wait. The details in the park are incredible.

Pink Pony Club is a fave song of Lisa's, and although I would not say GWAR is my favorite band, I did see them twice at the 930 club in DC, and I was soaked by the various blood (and other fluids) sprays.
