A Smattering of My Thoughts

Plot Twist: Barney’s job it actually to please people. Like, you want to gamble? Done! You want strippers? let’s go. You want to go to a casino where you can pretend to win and all the staff are strippers? Just give me your credit card details and come right this way. You like magic shows? Well as it happens you have a quarter behind your ear, let me just get that, wait no, it’s a bouquet of flowers made out of $100 bills. You want to do hunt children for sport? Ok, I’ll set it up. He’s essentially a trip planner for visiting businessmen. The best part it that it actually fits with the little we have seen of his job.

George R.R. Martin on writing women:

  • Interviewer: There's one thing that's interesting about your books. I noticed that you write women really well and really different. Where does that come from?
  • George R.R. Martin: You know, I've always considered women to be people.

Click here to buy this badge physically (ships worldwide). Lifescouts is a badge-collecting community of people who share their real-world experiences. I actually didn’t do this for quite a while. Most of the kids I knew could ride a bike by at the latest around 3rd grade, most earlier than that. Personally I learn to ride over the summer before 5th grade because I realised that we had to do bike ed in 5th grade and I didn’t want to be the loser who couldn’t ride a bike. I didn’t even get my parents to teach me, I mean I did but ultimately it wasn’t them who got me there, my neighbour and probably my best childhood friend actually taught me to ride a bike, which I think is pretty cool
