It isn't hard to find irony in life. I am probably using the definition
incorrectly, but I care little. People
call it ironic, so that's good enough for me.
If it has become cliche, too bad.
I started watching the first season of Game of Thrones, and
like all good TV shows it has its own tag line--"winter is
coming" Nothing wrong with
that. It's probably good for the show,
and good for people watching it. It
would bother me less if they didn't say it every ten seconds. but that's
television for you.
The irony is that I just started watching it on Friday
night, and I have only gotten through the first four episodes (six more to go).
"Winter is coming. Winter is
coming." Of course it is, and
that's why I woke up on Saturday with a yard full of snow. I guess winter is here.
I don't recall anyone calling for snow on the weather
forecast, and I certainly didn't read about it in the paper (and that includes
the horoscope section). Granted, I wasn't
really paying attention on Friday morning--last day of work for the week, black
Friday nonsense, and all that.
I really shouldn't complain (though I didn't get all my raking done). The stores have already decorated for Christmas, so why shouldn't the
planet get in on the act as well. Dress
it up for the holidays. Christmas is
only one month away. If only there was hockey on TV.
