Quick blog today everyone as work is mental.

Great news everyone, I have seen them! After what’s seemed like months and months of waiting, my Girl Scout Cookies have finally arrived. I was going to try and eat healthier starting after I get over this cold but it’ll have to wait until my five boxes of joy have been devoured. Happy days!

Hungry yet?

Working its way nicely with the arrival of the cookies, Game of Thrones Season 3 on Blu-Ray arrives today into the Moriarty household (that’s if UPS can get through the non-salted streets). I was initially going to hold off on buying Season 3 after getting seasons 1 & 2 on Black Friday but the pre-order price dropped to $30 over the weekend. I couldn’t pass that up. My wife is a huge GoT fan also so that’s my week wrapped up in re-watching them. BaD blogging this week might be scraping the barrel I’m afraid.

Speaking of TV shows, as I was off work yesterday trying to get over this fucking cold, I decided to watch the Attack on Titan anime. I had watched the first episode some months back online but with it now being on Netflix, I figured why not dive in. I watched the first seven episodes and it really is a harrowing show. Time and again, events take place that literally make me gasp. Entertaining but fucking hell parts of it are intense. Not for the faint of heart to be sure and not what I expected going in. I think the season lasts about 25 episodes so I’ll work my way through it over the next month or so.

Artwork is great!

And that’s all for today folks. Don’t worry, you’re not alone, I hate Tuesdays too but if we stick together we may just make it to the end!

Later

I tried watching Attack on Titan last night and I was too tired to deal with the subtitles. I might try again some other time.

Mmm! Girl Scout cookies! Two of the nieces are girl scouts, and did they call me? No! I am disappointed.

Heck yeah I saw that Target had all three seasons of Thrones on sale on Blu-ray for $30 each. I love the show, but I know if I bought them, I would never watch them (it's odd). Season 3 is so freaking good!

THIN MINTS! THIN MINTS! THIN MINTS!

I'm addicted to the A song of Ice and Fire stories so like a sucker, I eat up everything I can get my hands on. Also, the blu-rays are really nice quality with great extras.

And, heck yeah thin mints!

I need to watch Attack on Titan as well. Only got through part of the first episode, but like Rangergirl, I fell asleep cause it was too late.

I don't mind subtitles but i'd rather if it was dubbed to be honest. It's hard at times to keep track of the on screen action when you have to keep reading

I haven't given Attack on Titan much time and I loved the first two episodes. Someday i'm going to continue.

It's worth some time investment I think. Most gripping anime i've come across in a while

I've yet to watch Attack on Titan, looks really good though. My brother's been collecting the manga, maybe I'll look those over too.

02/19/2014 at 02:34 PM

Yeah I saw it was a manga too and meant to be pretty damn good. I've too many comics on my wish list already as it is though I think. 1st world problems haha

Enjoyed watching some "Attack On Titan" myself! You're right. Great setting and memorable characters but it's NOT for the faint of heart. This is the series that made "giants" scary again!

02/19/2014 at 02:35 PM

Absolutely! Something about the way they turn their heads freaks me out.

No cookies for me this year. Not after "the event" with the girl scouts and my "Little One".

Attack on Titan eh....
