[Crockett]

And we have a Jaqen Hghar

Now this is good, just for the look alone, very mystical. I don't mind if they keep his long hair two-toned, it could easily look silly on-screen but I think they could make it work. And I can't wait to see how they'll handle when [BLACKOUT]he repays Arya for saving his life.[/BLACKOUT]

So you budget hinges on the 7.99 for a paperback or 20 for the set. Forget moving, you need a new job.

I kid. But really, its not at all expensive.

Well I have a part time job which Im about to leave to go to school full time. I have $200 school books Im going to be having to worry about in about 2-3 weeks.Then I gotta worry about parking fees, lab costs, and a bunch of other stuff associated with school, etc... Money's kinda tight at the moment so I cant justify spending on stuff thats not high on my priority list, hence going for free options like a library. Im in no rush to read it. Just gotta try sometime before the next season in 2012

You still need a new job. I went to college and had a full time job and bought a house (3 bedroom in Queens) while still going to school. But priorities are priorities and mine were making money, after all, that why we go to school for the most part. A budget should never hinge on the price of a paperback but I hear what your saying. Maybe taking your school's accounting class this semester.

I cant get a job. Its part of my contract with the university. I do get a stipend though which I'll most likely be seeing next month. I'll be better off in the next 2 months but right now in August its rough. In addition to that stuff, I just bought a $300 planet ticket to go to a cousin's wedding, my car regstration is up, (also needs service), gotta get a new eye prescription (bc Im low on contacts), my previous student loans (which I fortunatley can start to defer when I start again). Trust me, its not as simple as my budget hinging on paperbacks. Ive never had an issue with money bc I know when to spend, what to save and what substitutions to make

 

[ChickenScratch]

It seems you've got yourself in a precarious situation. A contract that says you can't work when you have bills and loans?

Anyways, good luck with that, I hope you make better decisions in future. I belive college should put money in your pocket not make you more broke, but the way loans are set up are totally predatory. That's why I paid for school straight cash.

 

[BlackLantern]

I didnt finish college....and manage just fine

 

[El Bastardo]

No you don't.

 

[BlackLantern]

can we not make this a "I finished college so I'm better than anyone who didn't go" things?

 

[El Bastardo]

Hey man, if it's true, it's true.

 

[BlackLantern]

yea...I just went into the service after high school and had fairly good luck to keep working after I got out

but Im just one of the unwashed masses, I guess

 

[El Bastardo]

Groom yourself, o' dirty one.

 

[Marvolo]

Good casting for Jaqen. Looking forward to all these cast members. BlackLantern don't let anyone get you down. Anyone who serves in the military gets my thanks.

 

[BlackLantern]

No...I shall sit here in my filth and my ignorance....or be like my cousin, who has a 4 yr degree from Vassar and is now working in a Verizon Wireless call center cause he can't find a "real" job

I get a stipend. The school will be paying for my bills and loans . Free tuition, free insurance and I get 2 checks a month for living expenses. Trust me, I will be getting more money once I start school than I have been working part time this past year. Its actually not a bad deal

 

[Spidey-Bat]

You guys hear they're going to make Game of Thrones into a show?

 

[Havok83]

There is? Oh shoot, I gotta check it out!

On a more serious note, anyone getting the BR or DVD? I hope there's a good deal on the BR around Black Friday bc Im definetly interested

 

[ChickenScratch]

I'm into this, we are talking plight now. If GOT is about anything, it's about some plight. LOL

 

[lime]

I'm very happy about the 13 Emmy nominations, but I'm still SHOCKED that the series were snubbed in the Art Direction category. What the hell? Modern Family? Seriously?

If the release follows conventional release rules for series, we won't see it until the month before season two airs.

I could have sworn that I saw somewhere that it was being released this fall

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I think it will be out for the holidays.

 

[Poeman]

I like this fan cover

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Two new cast members confirmed today, Xaro Xhoan Daxos and Yara (Asha) Greyjoy.

Interesting choice to change Asha's name. I confused her with Osha at first too.

The amount of special effects they have to employ to keep Sophia Vergera from popping out every 5 minutes is extraordinary.
