Went to the LA Times FESTIVAL OF BOOKS today. Bought six books and three graphic novels, in an effort to support independent presses and individual self publishing authors. Looking forward to reading those.
Came home and watched episode 2 of GAME OF THRONES. This episode was awesome. Peter Dinklage is amazing as Tyrion. Can't say that enough. Good subplot building in this one. SPOILER!!!!!!! Goodbye Joffrey, you will not be missed.
Followed this by watching the premiere of YEARS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY (http://yearsoflivingdangerously.com/) which is about climate change. There were three stories. First was with Harrison Ford, who traveled to Indonesia to look at the issues with the harvesting of palm oil, and the taking down of the rain forest in order to do so. The second was with Don Cheadle going to Texas to look at a town that was severely affected but drought and the subsequent closure of the meat packing plant stemming from that. The third was with Thomas Friedman and his investigation of a story of how the drought in Syria and the displacement of a million people there has affected the revolution in that county. Very well made series. Next week has a continuation of the Harrison Ford story, and the start of one with Arnold Schwarzenegger about wildfires...Will write more during the week.
