This is an even more boring post than others, I am sorry. Let’s see. Another new episode of Game of Thrones last night, I continue my hate-watch of it and wish it would end but can’t look away. I’ve disliked it since the first episode. The acting remains dire, the politics questionable, the writing execrable and the plotting feeble. Strange that this has become a global sensation. There will be much to say in the future as to why I’m sure.
The best thing about the show is undoubtedly the LA Review of Books episode discussions.
The Scaramouche has passed over the firmament and out like a meteor. He will be missed.
The Gentleman Friend, I am now quite sure, had dengue in Brunei. It was a mild case not the deadly kind but he remains weak.
And that is all. I have a list of chores to do before leaving for Thailand and then leaving for Pakistan, but little desire to do any of them.
