(76) Khaleesi, just kiss Jorah already, seriously. This is madness. + links

You and me both, Robb.

God what a hellish week. I decided to hand over my dissertation on Monday, so I've been working on it for hours each day. I read so many legal acts I feel like I would be dead by now but I'd never die during the season of Game of Thrones so it is the only thing that keeps me going.

The upside is that if everything goes well, I'll defend it in May. So that means two things - with my luck if I had to defend it in June, I'd have to go to University probably on Monday right after Episode 9. And I don't plan on doing anything the following day but cry and yell "WHY?!". The second good thing is that once it's done, I'm law school graduate which means for the next 5 months I don't have to do anything but fall into the bottomless pit of legal documents I have to learn for bar exam. I cannot fucking believe I'm going to have to learn labor law for the third time. Wait...why the hell do I count this as an "upside", again?

On Monday I had my window opened and I heard my neighbor yell "DAENERYS!!!" no doubt while he was watching the ending to the last episode. I wonder how many people chanted DRACARYS all over the world. The ratings for the show are continuously growing and I predict this Sunday's episode may hit 5 million.

Myself, I was pretty much like Jorah during this scene. Just smiling and nodding away, like an idiot. God, they handled that scene so beautifully.

KISS HIM YOU FOOL!!!

Oh, Robb. You're fine but you're simple.

I still cannot believe he banged that nurse. And that one time when the nudity would be plausible we didn't get to see Robb naked in the sex scene. The ratio of female nudity to male nudity is just outrageous. If bath scene happens this Sunday, can we at least see Jaime's ass?

I had no idea Peter Dinklage had a child. This is so unbelievably cute.

I love imdb Game of Thrones forum. Before the episode aired someone wrote "she gives them the translator dressed as a dragon. Mormont will dress as translator to fool them".

Is there any wonder The Lannisters are controling the throne? I see something like this and I think...NO.

And then there is this....

I kinda love the fact the biggest mystery about this Sunday's episode is "Will Jon Snow figure out where to put it?".

Game of Thrones facebook recaps continue to be amazing.

Get this - I'm going to the ball tomorrow. I really don't know why. I have a dress and everything. The only thing that makes me happy is that I'm going to hang out with my friend there, before she heads over to her home town.

I really enjoyed Thor - Dark World trailer. Much better than recent Man of Steel promo. Thor is actually one of my favorite superhero movies, I even prefer it to Avengers. I don't know why everyone whine about Natalie Portman - her character's romance with Thor is my favorite in all of the superhero films. There is this one shot in the trailer where she is hovering. I really hope they won't kill her off.

Another trailer we got this week was the one for The Bling Ring. It looks great. Those teenagers are hilarious (is this the word I'm looking for?) and Emma Watson's voice sounds awesome.

In another movie news while I still don't hear anything about Richard Armitage getting a flood of offers after The Hobbit (the fuck is that all about?) Lee Pace, who wanted to play the hero in The Guardians of Galaxy and lost the casting was cast in the movie after all. And even in a better role as he will play the villain. Villains are usually much more loved and remembered by the audience, so I couldn't be more happy. Especially that the most important thing here is that the villains are so much hotter than heroes.

So not only is Chloe Moretz much too pretty to play Carrie to begin with but you actually go and retouch her face for the poster? Can someone please save the people in charge of this film from themselves?

Not surprisingly, I had absolutely no time to watch any films this week. On Monday however I plan to see at least three movies because honestly once I publish my Somewhere review I have no idea what the hell to review here.

Apparently People's magazine chose Gwyneth Paltrow as The World's most beautiful woman? Have they even seen Christina Hendricks?!

That reminds me I should catch up with Mad Men. But ever since they pimped out Joan in last season I can't bring myself to watch it. God, what a cheap maneuver that was.

I didn't have the strength to go see Oblivion this week after all. The library truly is the most evil, life-force annihilating place in the world and this is something Parks and Rec got exactly right. I cannot believe I have to go there again in the morning.

While they did get that right, last week's episode had so many embarrassing Game of Thrones errors. Yes, I wrote the word embarrassing. I'm a geek crossed with a nerd. Anyways, it's awesome there are all those shout outs (especially since Rob Lowe said The Americans is the best show on TV and not some show about "trolls". He literally wrote that on his twitter. LITERALLY.) but honestly calling Tyrion Lannister the Lord of Casterly Rock? And don't get me started on Ben's pronunciation of Qarth. The last person who mispronounced it was locked in the vault to be eaten by huge black guy. Remember this, Ben.

I did watch few episodes of Rome, season 1. It's nowhere near Game of Thrones but it's quite entertaining and I love Polly Walker's performance. I really like Lena Headey's work as Cersei but I wish she played her more like Walker did with her character. I'm also enjoying the depiction of Cleopatra in the show. The guys' story lines do not interest me half as much as those intrigues between the women. Also Kevin McKidd's character is such a fool I can barely get through his scenes.

Few days ago I woke up and Gustav was sleeping on the pillow next to me and he put his paws in the palm of my hand. Awww, Unfortunately, he is getting vaccinated on Monday so he will be really pissed off. I hope he won't bite my face off while I sleep.

Yes, photoshop and me copying stuff from my camera = Gustav gifs.
