@lyn_sea I like George RR Martin's hat and beard, and that he wrote three chapters last month
RT @fleurfrancoise @mxcl asked me to make him stop whistling. It's a difficult task and I'm not sure if I will succeed.
@erikfrey I might start a webcomic with this concept. A little self-serving perhaps, but fun.
