Winter Is Coming...

No, not outside.  On television, and in the bookstores.  With the impending premier of HBO's adaptation of George R.R. Martin's novel, Game of Thrones, and with Martin's announcement of a July release for the long-awaited fifth book in his Song of Ice and Fire series, A Dance with Dragons, I'll have to revisit the medievalism question.  (Wow, it was almost a year ago).  Summer is also coming... it might not be until then that I get back to it.  I'm an intellectual glacier in a digital rapid landscape.
