fileg's.)If I take part, I won't be able to join online as I'll be on vacations w/ the family (Brittany, hell yeah!), but even so, I thought I'd share the fun. :D

In other, not exactly related news, Felix got his first pair of Wellies today. Because there's no keeping that boy inside (which is good), rain or shine, and The Cold And Wet Season Is Coming*.

*Insert rant about ASoIaF here. Of course, Winter is Coming is still a pretty awesome tagline. And I HAVE TO KEEP SAYING IT and then I'm reminded of that book and AUGH. Though of course the thing they call winter seems to me more properly named "Ice Age", because - wait, I was NOT planning to get into ranty mood! OFF!
Of course, Spring is Coming as well. As are Summer and Autumn, in turn. That's the good thing about seasons...

Date: 2012-09-10 01:06 pm (UTC)Ganz streng genommen handelt es sich hierbei natürlich eigentlich um Elevenses, also die Mahlzeit, die einem hilft, die lange Wartezeit zwischen 2. Frühstück und Mittagessen zu überleben. Das eigentliche 2. Frühstück findet ja schon nach der morgendlichen Arbeit, so etwa um 9 Uhr, statt.
Aber zu was für einer Altersheimzeit isst denn du zu Mittag? O.ó
EDIT: Kleiner Denkfehler meinerseits: Da 11 Uhr britischer Zeit für uns ja schon 12 Uhr ist, fällt es hierzulande definitiv eher in die Kategorie "Mittagessen".

Mein Lieblings-Hobbit-Essensbrauch ist ja 'Filling Up The Corners'. Darin bin ich richtig gut. ;)

I am always able to dream a rant about G.R.R. Martin and grin when I read others! I do love that "Winter is coming!" business and, yes, it is apparently some kind of cyclical version of an ice age. Clever idea though.

That depends on whether there's some explanation for why that happens and why it is so bloody unpredictable. ^^

Date: 2012-09-10 05:54 pm (UTC)I think he decided we have to swallow winter fantasy element and endure it or decide his world isn't worth it and stop reading. I have read through worse things in his books (the non-stop cliff-hangers, cliff hangers that last more than a actual decade for the reader, and gratuitous slaughter of major characters in which the reader was misled to believe will last the series). So, by comparison, the lack of plausibility of the random unpredictable decades-long winters is not hanging me up that much. It's a little like Tolkien's forests of Middle-earth enduring for long ages without any allowance for photosynthesis. I am not happy about it, and that part of JRRT's history is the least appealing to me but hasn't stopped me from reading. I get around that in Tolkien by assuming an unreliable series of biased narrators recording myth and legend instead of real history,.

Other authors, who are predominantly hyped for their "gritty realism"... well, let's just say that I'm more bothered by "fantasy winter" there? Though there's definitely worse! Don't get me started on the melting temperature of gold ;)

Date: 2012-09-12 11:56 pm (UTC)I'll try to keep in touch, because I still find myself thinking of you at odd moments, and missing talking to you.

Date: 2012-09-13 08:51 am (UTC)It's odd how everything has fallen apart, considering how much online time we spent together before DF went bad. :( When in danger or in doubt, though, I'm just an e-mail away!

Date: 2012-09-13 12:03 am (UTC)Yay, Felix got his first pair of Adventure Boots! His chances of growing up to be a boring pale scholar seem slimmer all the time. Can't wait to see pics of Teh Cuteness!
