First off, wow, someone visited here from Marion, Ohio! I normally don’t talk about my visitor counter, though it’s never been a secret, because I don’t want to freak people out. I can’t see your name or address, I just see where in the world (city, state/province, country) you’re visiting from. I noticed Marion particularly because when I was homeless last year that’s where my rehousing caseworker with the Salvation Army kept trying to relocate me. I’ve even been there once to view an apartment. There’s a memorial in that town for former president Warren G. Harding — bet this is the first some of you have ever heard of him. I passed it on my left driving south on U.S. Highway 23 while I was there. Anyway. End of completely off-topic blather.

I also see someone hit here from Ayr. Howdy! Doubt it was the big man, but I like to think it could have been.

Okay. Just a few notes:

1. If you have a Google Alert set for Rory you may have noticed the obit. NO, Oor Rory is not dead. This was another Rory McCann born three years before the big man and it looks like he lived in England as well. Don’t SCARE me like that, Google. Jesus.

2. There has been a recent auction of Game of Thrones stuff. Mainly costumes and personal props such as Jon Snow’s Longclaw sword (awwww! I loved that thing!). But they also auctioned off one of Rory’s costumes. I don’t know which, but I know I did a search on this page and a couple things of his came up. Feel free to click around. And explore. And cry ’cause you can’t afford a single stitch of any of it. SOB.

(That link won’t stay good forever, I’d imagine. Better look while you can.)

3. If you like reaction videos, this is one-half of an adorable couple young enough to be my kids (well… not both at the same time… their surname’s not Targaryen) who typically do reactions to music videos and movies. It’s a lot of fun, or I think it is; it’s almost as good as knowing young people in person who I can introduce to everything I like. But anyway, Amber is currently watching our favorite series, and it is a real treat watching her experience all this for the first time. So if you like that sort of thing, enjoy.

Okay. Got schtuff to do and am hungry. Talk at ya later.
