First off is the first full trailer for Game of Thrones, released last week and originally EW-exclusive, which is now on YouTube and thus can be embedded. Tomorrow a new "link" in The Maester's Path should be activated, which will bring more ASoIaF fun and hopefully a new awesome clip from the series as a reward for completion.
Besides that, there's no real news for anything going on; it's just another gray winter's day here in Chitown, spent writing a lab report about the cosmic microwave background and getting ready to start reading some Benjamin and Adorno for sosc on Tuesday. About 7 hours of class left this quarter and Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me on Thursday would make this a pretty good week, and it's certainly going to be better than next week, when finals doom is finally here, but the run-up to finals is almost worse than the papers and exams themselves.
I've been reading one of my Belmont used books now that I finished the first one, A Wizard of Earthsea. This one is called Mage Heart and seems like a bizarre little cheesy romantic fantasy; so far there's been illicit hallucinogen use, mentions of demons, slightly bizarre magic, and hints of good ole female homosexuality, along with lots of talk of breasts. It's interesting enough to make it worth reading, at least for now, but I don't see anything truly original or shocking or otherwise coming out of this one.
