Yep. That's one part of the ongoing saga I've been enjoying. Also...

On the other hand, my main reason for disliking the Frey's (and that Bolton douch as well) is the cowardly way they went about the whole let's murder our ally (or king) and suck up to Tywin Lannister.
Not to mention I just personally thought Walder Frey was a creepy old perv, not unlike Craster. Although David Bradley's portrayal of him in the TV series has lessened my dislike of him somewhat.

Anti-Frey rantings
It wasn't about the marriage or the breaking of a betrothal. If Walder thought he could get a better deal by knifing Robb in the back even if he hadn't married Jayne, he would have. Even if his daughter was upstairs with him, freshly married he's likely do it all the same anyway. He's just that kind of conniving, low-life, backstabbing worm. And I hope all his sons get baked into pies and eaten by their siblings.

It does me the favor of justifying my dislike of the series without having to read it. I don't like my fantasy as filled with... well, hyper-realistic portrayals of human nature as SoIaF is based around. If I'd been introduced to the series with nothing more than "This is good! You really need to read it!" I probably would have, then gotten more and more disappointed as it went on and got grungier and more depraved before finally throwing the book(s) away in disgust.
I don't like my fantasy coming that close to the wretchedness that is normal human behavior IRL. So the series is just very much not for me.

That pretty well describes my actual reaction to the books. Well, that and pick a narrative viewpoint and stick with it, dammit! I ended up giving up on the show thanks to the books even though I had been enjoying the show before that.

So, remember the rambling rant about a week or so ago?
The Education department head approved a course extension to allow the assignments to be submitted. This allows me to pass the class, and means my student teaching & graduation will NOT be delayed.
Great news EF!

Because my brother wakes me up every morning before my alarm clock gets the chance to do so. Apparently him spending time on the computer is more important than me getting the proper amount of sleep, even though he's a spoiled 10-year old brat slacking off at school while I have to be up and awake to work almost every damned day...
