    I still have the voicemail from my mother where she called me after the Red Wedding.

    And it will never stop being funny to me.

    Unrelated to GoT, but the funnies VM ever left for me came from this dude, Justin.

    Justin was one of my roommates in New York, but he wasn't part of the original leasing plan. He was in my actual roommates film studies class and they became fast friends, so Justin was at the apartment a lot. He was a true Jersey kid; rough and tumble, profane, had the Zeppelin angel tattooed on his chest and a pair of revolvers tattooed to his hips. He made crass, terrible jokes, and one day got booted from his apartment by his girlfriend, due to the fact that he was stepping out on her.

    Now, I didn't have a job at the time, so Justin and I ended up hanging out a lot together. He got under my skin pretty easily, but we were an odd sort. One time, my sister came up to visit, and I warned her: "You're going to meet Justin. He's crude, and makes sexual jokes all the time, it doesn't matter that you're only 17. It's best to just avoid him when at all possible, because he *will* make you uncomfortable."

    Not two minutes later, the door to the apartment opens and Justin walks in. He saunters over to me and drops a video game in my lap. The Punisher.

    "Cause we were watching the movie the other day and I know how much you liked it. So I got you the game."

    "Yeah, seems like a real asshole."

    #

    I'm getting way off track here; Justin and I went on many, many misadventures, from using shoe polish on a bedsheet to write a proclamation of love to his ex-girlfriend (which failed spectacularly) to getting kicked out of an aquarium because he was insistent on his need to touch a stingray.

    When I ran out of money and moved back to Richmond, I honestly never expected to hear from him again.

    And one day, I had a voicemail. I hadn't spoken to Justin in two years at this point; by all accounts, he was in Dubai setting up a film festival.

    "Yo, Mikey D..." He called me this because he truly believed that I would one day marry my celebrity crush, Zooey Deschanel, and take her last name. "Have you ever felt... love? Like, real man love? I'm talkin'... Greco-Roman... baby oil, baby, just slippin' and slidin' around?" At this point, he laughs quietly to himself. "Hey. We're gonna... we're gonna listen to Barry Manilow... and eat some Cantaloupe. Keep fresh, Mikey D. Love ya, kid."

    Still have that one on my phone.

    Justin was odd.

    So, this is what I have:

    House Lannister; Hear Me Pour!
    A member of House Lannister, within the noble domain of the kitchen, gets to pick what someone pours into their cup.
    House Stark; Winetar is Coming
    A member of House Stark, during a drinking game, can at the end of each round pronounce, “The North Remembers,” and make everyone playing drink from their cup.
    House Greyjoy; We Do Not Wait
    A member of House Greyjoy can cut anyone waiting in line for the bathroom.
    House Tully; Bros, Before, Hoes
    A member of House Tully can designate any one person during a drinking game as his mate (even if the game does not have mates).
    House Tyrell; Getting Swole
    A member of House Tyrell, once per round during a drinking game, can force a player to trade their number of incoming drinks into physical exercise.

    Just need to figure out these three before Saturday evening.

    House Targaryen; Fire & Blood
    House Baratheon; Ours is the Fury
    House Martell; Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken

    In this exciting edition of the Game of Thrones board game I was the Greyjoys once again because fate is a fickle bitch.

    I ate an entire kettle-pot of baked beans and spat venom at everyone.

    And as the Baratheons & Lannisters battled I slowly sailed my way to the south and was within grasps of victory.

    But then I botched everything and they turned on me and I lost everything...

    At first my brain registered this as "Ray from Archer". Kinda works.

    The first four episodes of Game Of Thrones’ fifth season are typically rich and rewarding, but for those seeking reassurance as the show heads for uncharted territory, there’s as much to love as there is to fear.

    this is actually the perfect scenario in my mind because (although it was a moot point when the show was announced, considering I'd already read the existing books) i get both sides of the "should you watch the adaptation or read the books first" experience
