I can't believe it. I never thought it would happen, but HBO has acquired the rights to George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire". Of course, acquiring the rights and actually making the darn show are two separate feats. I mean, how long have we been waiting for Ender's Game: The Movie.
For me, I'm quite excited to see one of the best fantasy series brought to life. Here's hoping it doesn't suck. (And yes, I am quite aware that it will not be 100% faithful to the written material.) Being on HBO is important due to the graphic nature of the material in the books. Although I've wanted to watch ROME, I've never wanted to pony up the cash for the Channels. Now it looks like I may have to. Darn you HBO!
Anyway, I haven't been this excited about a book becoming film in a long time. (And yes, this makes me way more excited than finding out LOTR was going to be a movie.)

On to more important and exciting news. Yesterday, glacierbaby rolled over for the first time. Yup, he went from tummy to back. Apparently he did this 4 times. I personally did not see it, however glaciermom assures me that he did do it. Also, glaciermom took him back to be reweighed (last week at the doctor's office he weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz.) Both glaciermom and I thought that seemed low, so while in town today, glaciermom had glacierbaby weighed. Our hunch was right. Today he weighed in at 12 lbs 1 oz. (or was it 12 lbs 4 oz.). Either he gained 4 pounds in one week, or he wasn't weighed properly at the last doctor's visit.

On a final note, I've finally gotten in the process of putting labels on older posts. It seems as if glacierbaby is the number 1 label to date (16 times), weather number 2 (10 posts), and school and baseball tied for 3rd (7 each). However, I'm only a 1/3 of the way through or so. Of course those numbers will change as I finish putting labels on posts.
