A Game of Thrones Entry 3

Even if I was ultimately incorrect about Dani and Mellin, I will say this: I started my subway trip home last night to find out that Dani enjoyed her first evening with Mellin quite a bit. Nothing gets the ladies like long flowing black hair with bells...Mike: next game night we will get some hair dye and a straightening iron and see if we can fix up those blonde curls of yours...
JN Note: im totally in for this. we'll go to that halloween place near union square, get a wig, and buy some of those little bells at an arts and crafts store. itll be awesome. more relevantly - did that long black hair with bells get Dany flowing?
CB Note: Don't all girls love the sound of bells ringing on their lovers' braids?

I don't quite remember the order of things that happened next but there were a few main things that happened:

First, Sansa is trying to convince Arya to come along with her on this ride with the annoying queen. Arya--who is the coolest--says F* Off and goes exploring with her friend, some butcher's son. Turns out, Sansa ends up going for a ride with her betrothed--that pain in the ass prince dude--and they catch Arya and the butcher in flagrante delicto...no Nash, not sex, much worse: swordfighting! A fight ensues and Prince Asshole ends up getting his ass kicked by Arya and her wolf. Cut to a few days later and Arya is in trouuuuuble b/c Prince Asshole told on her. Reason prevails and they dont' do anything to Arya but end up killing a wolf--no, not Arya's wolf who bit Prince Asshole, but Sansa's wolf. That's just mean. I hope Sansa realizes what a biotch the Queen is because of this.
JN Note: Arya *is* the coolest. cb loves her. great flagrante delicto redux LB. i lollerskated for reals. is Prince Asshole this blog's official name for Joffrey? its vulgar, but lacking in alliteration or imagination imo. Lady got killed?!?! what will happen to The Tramp now??? ohnoes! what happened to micah, the butcher's boy?
CB Note: I think Prince Asshole is a perfect name for Joffrey. If you want alliteration, maybe Joff the Jackass? Prince Pansy? He was pretty pansy to get beat up by a little girl ;)

Back in Winterfell, Catelyn is still keeping vigil by Bran's bedside and there is a fire meant to get Catelyn out of the room so some dude can come kill Bran. Catelyn stays in her grief and ends up getting hurt protecting Bran. Someone sent this dude to kill Bran...presumably the Queen and her dumbass brother. This event ends up snappign Catelyn out of her doledrums and she decides she's gonna go down south to find out who sent this dude, 'cause he left behind this fancy dagger and people will know whose it is. She's gonna sail down there so she can beat the King's party down. (Query: Why doesn't the King's party sail down? Surely that would be quicker!)
JN Note: "doldrums". dont you see that red spelling line under it in your browser? The king did not sail down b/c a) the party is so big there arent enough boats, b) the king likes to ride and hunt stuff, c) they can stop at other castles and see other people and lords while riding and feast more. Soem combination of those 3 things i suppose. Catelyn's not a real investigator - she should call Veronica Mars imo.
CB Note: Babe, i REALLY dont think you should be talking to anyone about spelling. I frequently fix your spelling to make your blog readable! I think Robert doesn't want to sail cause he likes a lot of pomp and circumstance. He probably wants to stop at all the places on Kingsroad and be wined and dined by all his loyal followers.

Once Catelyn arrives she is summoned by her old flame who is now some high up position or whatever. Turns out the King's Eunuch heard of her arrival. Also turns out it's his dagger, but he had lost it to the Imp, the Queens creepy looking dwarf brother. I don't think the Imp is the badguy though...he seems cool...it's the other brother, the Queen's incestuous twin that did it. Asshole.
JN Note: old flame = Petyr Baelish = Littlefinger. Eunuch = Varys = Master of Whisperers (like an old school CIA). If Jaime aka Kingslayer aka Twincester did it, how do you explain the dagger?!?! Tyrion the Imp is definitely "cool", ill give you that much. good nut!

I might be forgetting something, but sadly I must get back to work.
JN Note: Boo. call in sick.

PS, I forgot that I ended my ride this morning with Bran waking up and naming his wolf Summer. I hope he doesn't have amnesia. See if it were today, he'd go straight to TMZ and tell them he caught the Queen and her twin having creepy incestuous sex and then incestuous twin pushed him out the window!!!
JN Note: woohoo! everybody loves a surprise P.S. a) whether or not bran has amnesia, did he really understand what he saw? I seem to remember him wondering why the woman kept saying "no" but seemed to be enjoying herself... Also, while there is no TMZ, he could go down to the local pub and order everyone a pint. or he could go ot Il Postino Melon and send out some ravens with messages. I wonder what will happen!!!
CB Note: J is really down on Bran understanding the Twincest.
RK Note: I have no thoughts on this entry! I wish I did, but I have nothing to RK note about on any of the above, I don't have as many THOUGHTS on Thrones as I do on Lost, etc!!! Ahhh. Anyway I am glad Bran woke up!
