Catching up...

So mobile was crashing every time I created a post for a while, then I just gave up.

I have some free time...at the beach spending quality time with DS2 while DS1 and DW play in the water.
*poof*

A couple weeks ago saw an article on Rubik's cube tournaments. I'm partial to the removing the sticker method myself. .

My step-brother is pretty good at them. My forte is 30 mins of mindless turns messing it up. He can't look at a cube and not solve it. I can't look at a solved one and not think...He can't stand this thing messed up. Lol!

Well done! A couple weeks ago I met a woman who recently graduated SAPPER school. We had a good chat about her experience. She said she felt treated the same as the other students and basically said "it sucked." She, like every other CE member I know is extremely proud of her tab though. Next up...the PJ's?

I've been listening to Game of Thrones. I'm on the second book. I hear the show is amazing, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a let down after the books. Anyone read and watch? I'm still going to check out the show, but the narration on audio is amazing and the books just seem too rich to capture adequately on a screen.

This update of tapatalk is suspect. I can create posts again but notifications are still busted and it still crashes periodically.

All of the big events are pretty much the same but how they arrive at the events are different in most cases. and the hard part is is that there are so many aspects of the book that could make it easy a 2 hour weekly show for 20 episodes.. so a lot of characters are combined or their experience are had by a different major character

Lol. So I probably won't notice much of a difference. I have a hard time keeping a number of the characters straight in my head. I'm almost finished with a chapter and think "oh, right that's the one who..."

Plus it's going to take a while to get through the books so I'll probably forget most of the beginning before ever watching it. Totally looking forward to it though. Heard nothing but great things.
