Game of Thrones Character Theme Songs

Image
So, the other day I was listening to some 'best of 90s' playlist on YouTube when I'm Too Sexy came on. As soon as I heard it, I was like: "Oh, this is Jaime Lannister's song". While I think this may have had more to do with Prince Charming singing this song on Far Far Away Idol from Shrek 2 then anything else (come on, Prince Charming and Jaime look exactly the same!), I still decided to do a list of Game of Thrones character theme songs. Because, apparently, that's the sort of person I am. Arya - Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran:   Arya is on the hunt and she's after you. Well, she's after you if you're on her list, which is getting longer every day. She's got a needle and she's not afraid to use it.  Robert Baratheon - Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin and Sorry for Party Rocking by LMFAO: Robert is one of many characters who really needs two songs because he changes so much. Before the series starts, Robert is thi

The Best of Drunk Voldemort

Image
So, the other night I was playing Cards Against Humanity with a group of my friends and somehow we got on to the topic of drunk Voldemort (it's not as weird as it sounds because a lot of our make-your-own cards have something to do with Voldemort; that's as weird as it sounds). I mean, he is an evil man in evil clothes (extra points if you get the reference), so I think it's resonable to suppose that he's not shy about drinking. I think if you're the most evil wizard in the world, sometimes you're just like, "you know what, I'm Voldemort, I do what I want". So you can bet that Voldemort gets hammered. I did a little investigating and found that this was indeed the case. Fortunately, I'm BFFs with Nagini and Nagini has access to Voldemort's phone. I give you, the best Voldemort drunk texts: Actually, it looks like Voldemort drinks a lot. Apparently he likes tequila, which is weird because I would have pegged him for a margarita guy.

The Mummer's Dragon: Is Young Girff the Real Aegon?

Warning: Spoilers for Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire from A Dance with Dragons on  So, if you read/watch A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones, you're undoubtably really frustrated because there are so many unanswered questions in this series, and you're going to have to wait at least TWO YEARS to get the next book (if not more). I know, it frustrates me too. Anyway, If you've read  A Dance with Dragons , this question has probably been on your mind: Is Aegon/ Young Griff the real deal? If Aegon Targaryen did, in fact, survive the sack of King's Landing it would create some ambiguity as to who is the true heir to the Iron Throne. As the son of Rhaegar, Aerys' heir, Aegon has a better claim to the throne than Daenerys Targaryen. Of course, there have been many theories put forward stating that Dany with rule jointly with the other two heads of the dragon, but it seems that Dany's ascension is George R.R. Martin's endgame. Conversely, the su

Share a Coke with WHO

Image
So, I like Coca-Cola as much as the next person (#College=Caffeine), but I'm really annoyed with their new marketing campaign , Share a Coke. I first heard about this campaign from my roommate who texted me a picture a Coke bottle that was all "Share a Coke with Angela". My roommate was all "who is Angela and why does she want to share my Coke" and I was like "dude, Angela is the queen of Coca-Cola, didn't you know?" and she was like "really?" and I was like "no". WHO IS ANGELA? I still don't get it. If you're buying a single serving size bottle of Coke, obviously you don't want to share. Angela is just going to have to buy her own Coke. I don't have time to go around to every Angela in the world handing out soft drinks, even if she is the Queen of Coke.  Since then, I have learned that this 'let's put random names on Coke bottles' thing is actually an elaborate ruse to get people to buy more so

I'm a Justin Timberlake Junkie

I have an addiction. It's not some normal addiction, like alcohol or drugs. It's much more serious. I am addicted...to Justin Timberlake. I am a Justin Timberlake junkie.  That may sound pretty tame to you; maybe you think I just like to listen to his songs some times, maybe you think I just really liked *NSYNC as a kid. That's not it; I am actually obsessed with JT. He just has the hair and the face and the eyes and the voice and the feet and he's such a great dancer and he's so funny and he's so nice and he's such a good golfer and he was in Shrek the Third and I loved that movie  and he sings and he smiles and he says romantic things about his wife and he does things (that are recorded on the Justin Timberlake Does Things tumblr) and I saw him live in concert once and it was magical and ALL THE FEELS. I just love him; he's a perfect human being. So that should maybe give you some idea of how I feel.... I can't help it. Some days, I'

Where Does Voldemort Live?

So this has been bugging me for about ten years... One of the great unanswered questions of the Harry Potter series remains unanswered to this day: where does Voldemort live?  I think this is an important detail to be omitted from the books because, if you think about it, it would have been much easier for Harry to kill Voldemort if he knew where he lived. Harry could have snuck up on him in the middle of the night while he was sleeping or something. Whatever, JK Rowling, I don't want to write your plots for you, but that should have been a consideration. Like, we see Voldemort at Malfoy Manor once, and there's that whole scene in the Riddle Mansion, not to mention the rumors that he's living in a forest somewhere, but where does Voldemort actually live ? Like, I don't care if you're the Dark Lord or not, you still need a place to eat your breakfast cereal and bathe and brush your teeth. Just because you're evil, that's no excuse for bad hygiene. I l

Disney Outfits from Best to Worst

Image
A few months ago, I wrote a blog ranking Disney princesses best to worst (actually worst to best, but who pays attention to details like that), so, in the grand tradition of criticizing/ranking/generalized Disney love, I've decided to embark on a road where few dare to tread: ranking Disney princess outfits, and yes, that means ball gowns . Lots and lots of ball gowns. So here we go, Disney outfits from best to worst (actually, it's going to be worst to best, but we already talked about that). Ariel's Seashell Bikini Let's be clear here, Ariel doesn't actually wear clothes. She wears a sea shell bikini. Last time I checked, sea shells were not a valid form of clothing, they're organic calcium by products produced by snails and oysters that need tiny little houses. That's not clothes; we're not in a Lady Gaga music video here. Ariel does redeem herself later in the movie, but we'll get to that later. Ariel's Canvas Toga This is no

My Fish are at Summer Camp

Four years ago, I acquired a fish tank. A good fish tank is important, as any fish will tell you. That's why this blog's URL is IHaveAFishTank. Fish, I should say guppies because a gold fish is a horse of a different color, are very complex little animals. They require a lot of looking after. For example, every morning you have to look through the glass and tell them very sternly not to eat their young. They do it anyway, but I like to think that they do it less frequently than they otherwise would. It's exhausting. Anyway, because fish are so complicated and require so much attention, I decided to send my fish to summer camp for two months. Well, it's not really summer camp. I had my fish tank at home for the last two years because I couldn't have fish in my college residence. But having my fish at home is no longer an option and I can't have them at my college residence, so they're staying with my dear friend MeganKPJ for two months until I can move them
