Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] spirited_lizard.

Go to page 44, of the current book you are reading, or a random book and type out the first 5 complete sentences at the top of the page.

But on their second pass Ser Meryn swung the point of his lance to strike Ser Hobber in the chest, driving him from the saddle to crash resoundingly to the earth. Ser Horas cursed and ran out to help his battered brother from the field.
"Poorly ridden," declared King Joffrey.
"Ser Balon Swann, of Stonehelm in the Red Watch", came the herald's cry. Wide white wings ornamented Ser Baldon's greathelm, and black and white swans fought on his shield.

-- George R.R. Martin, "A Clash Of Kings"

...that make you happy.


Good thing no. 1 & 2:

Yesterday I met up with [livejournal.com profile] fry_addict in Hamburg. :-) Our third encounter. *g*
We went to Starbucks where we had a nice cup of coffee and, sitting in comfy armchairs at the window, chatted mainly about musicals/theatre, London/travelling and some fandoms. I had a very nice time. :-) Definitely would like to do this again sometime! Maybe in late spring when there's a chance of sitting outside in the sun or taking a nice walk? :-)

And this is what she brought me from her last London trip:



Autographs from Hadley Fraser and Ramin Karimloo. <3<3 *squeeeee* So. Much. Love!!!
Thank you so, so much for this, dear!! :-) *big hug* You can't imagine how happy this makes me. <3

Have found a good place for it now, too. :-)



BTW, did I already mention that, as I will be in London in mid-July, OF COURSE Hadley is leaving Les Mis in June... *facepalm* *cries* Sometimes I really think God hates me and doesn't want me to see my favourite people live on stage. :p FML. *lol*
Please, let's just all pray that at least I will be able to get a Sweeney Todd ticket and Michael Ball is actually playing then!! Pretty please? Thanks. :D


Good thing no. 3:

My parents picked up my "Game Of Thrones" BD box from the post office for me today. \o/ *yay*



The box looks really great! <3 Beautiful digipak with a little booklet that includes an episode guide, main characters overview, a map and a list of special features. And the bonus "photo book" is quite nice too (although nothing you would absolutely necessarily need I guess).
As I finished reading the first ASOIAF book last weekend I can finally start watching the TV series. \o/ (Yep, have not seen anything of it until now, although I would've had the opportunity to. Shame on me. :p) Sooo looking forward to it!!! *yeah* Starting later this evening with episode 1. :-)

Well...

- As everyone keeps talking about it and says how much they love it, I now ordered books 1-4 of "A Song of Ice And Fire" on Amazon. It's a boxed set, looking thus:
I actually bought it at a local bookshop today first, but when I got home I checked Amazon and found that they sell it for nearly 9€ cheaper! So sure thing I ordered it there and I'm going to return the one I already have to the store on Friday. I only hope it's as good as everybody says it is. ;-) I haven't had a look at the Game Of Thrones TV series yet either, so I don't really know what to expect.
In any case, I have to finish my Wodehouse book first before starting with this series. Don't really have a lot of time to read at the moment... :-(

- I'm currently considering to maybe set my journal to "private" (except for memes or the like)...
