Yes you totally fell off the wagon there! I was missing your updates on goodreads :P
on ASoIaF .. very awesome stuff! One thing I'm very glad I can say 'I read that before it was popular!'. (unlike harry potter which I tried to wait until it was not popular anymore, meh). And on the killing-of-favourite-characters GRRM is so well known for that, haha, he's a bastard. Funny point tho, when SuVuDu did a fantasy character tournament. The final battle came down to Rand Al'thor vs Jaime Lannister. And GRRM wrote a nice little story for it where Jaime wins, with a lot of help from GRRM's characters from other books and series of his. And then Brandon Sanderson wrote back basically saying 'but GRRM loves to kill off his main characters, therefore Jaime is not safe, whereas we all know Rand Al'thor has to stay alive at least until tairmon gaidon, therefore, Rand Wins!' LoL :D
