Let me make the following observation. I've been rereading ASoIaF recently (for obvious reasons), and I noticed something: It happens ridiculously often that characters in these books get too unsettled to eat. (Or they get so unsettled that they get queasy and can't eat.) Pretty sure this isn't anywhere near that common in real life. (And unlike families with thousand-year histories, it's just kind of a strange, pointless pattern.) Next time I read these books I'm going to have to, like, keep a count. I expect other fans have already noticed this but it's not like I frequent any of the fan websites.
Also, today I saw a young groundhog! It was so small that I thought it was a squirrel at first before noticing that that was entirely wrong. And a hummingbird! I had no idea those existed in the US, but apparently they're quite widespread. Though there's only one species. Except it didn't look like that. An escaped pet, maybe? Do people keep hummingbirds? That's where all those Chicago parakeets came from, after all... (that's happened in other cities too, I think? London, IIRC?)
(Now seriously, can anyone identify that book from last entry?)
