sense of doubt

Though the current project started as a series of posts charting my grief journey after the death of my mother, I am no longer actively grieving. Now, the blog charts a conversation in living, mainly whatever I want it to be. This is an activity that goes well with the theme of this blog (updated 2018). The Sense of Doubt blog is dedicated to my motto: EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. I promote questioning everything because just when I think I know something is concrete, I find out that it’s not.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #1423 - Game of Thrones Season Eight Premiere to Debut April 14, 2019

Material is coming.

Okay, not as good as the now household-name "Winter is Coming," but it's true for someone who does a daily blog.

Usually I put in a lot of time on my blog on a Sunday, but I have been slacking on work both Friday and Saturday, and I had pledged to myself at least a half day of rest, watching football and reading comic books (which was achieved). Plus, I am working on an original post about comic books, and those take time.

I started work early -- about 8 a.m. -- planning to quite by noon -- it was 1:30 -- and planned to fiddle with the blog as I completed work tasks, which didn't really happen.

This morning, which is Monday as I write, I planned to post a reprint as I often do when I fail to complete original content because I have 1400 post to draw from on this blog not to mention the 300+ still not reprinted from the T-Shirt blog. I even have another blog post at a third address that I may use some day.

So, headed to the command center, here, to post a reprint and then I checked my email , and... well, as I said, material presents itself.

The date and time stamp of the blog will contradict the release of this news via EW -- last night at 21:00 ET -- and my own mention that it's Monday morning as I type, but then. I like the time dilation. This is not my first blog time travel.

And there you have it.

URGENT NEWS!! GoT has announced a release date for Season Eight.

AND A NEW TRAILER.

This trailer is DOPE AS FUCK, to be both crass and talk jive, which I am supposedly too white to do, but I don't care.

The trailer is described in the article below.

Are you getting excited? I am...

Game of Thrones releases new season 8 teaser, official premiere date

Game of Thrones released an all-new season 8 teaser video Sunday night, plus revealed its official premiere date.

The HBO fantasy drama will debut season 8 on April 14, 2019. That means the final episode of Game of Thrones will air May 19 (so there won’t be any skipped weeks; not even for Easter Sunday).

The foreboding final season video was shot in the crypts at Winterfell and features Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) walking past the memorial statues of those who have fallen in past seasons (such as Ned and Catelyn Stark) as their voices hauntingly beckon. The trio then come upon statues of themselves as the tomb begins to turn icy cold, presumably as the Night King nears.

The piece teases the highly anticipated face-off between the Starks and the Army of the Dead in the final episodes when a major battle will take place at Winterfell.

The video is entirely new footage, though with a caveat: It’s not footage from within the final season itself but more like an evocative promotional ad. The spot was directed by GoT veteran and Emmy winner David Nutter, who directs multiple episodes in the final season. The score in the piece by series composer Ramin Djawadi is also new.

Fans will also note this is the first time we’ve seen Jon and Arya back together since season 1, though they will presumably have a more proper and satisfying reunion in the actual episodes.

HBO has started to ramp up its promotional efforts for the new season, and earlier this month released a clip of Sansa meeting Daenerys for the first time.

I am Christopher Tower the gmr

I am Christopher Tower (or Chris), and I am a writer of stuff. I grew up in Michigan; I now live in the Portland, OR metro area. I play Ultimate, ride a bike, and supposedly educate college persons while myself being educated in college. I am married with two kids, a beagle, a curly lab, and a fiesty pug/frenche mix. I like sushi. I love all SF, fantasy, comic books, D&D, board games, and Gnosticism. I am a Jungian. I am currently studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University.

SENSE OF DOUBT STATUS AS OF 0705.04 - 16:45

Sense of Doubt is not currently dedicated to any themes or special interest. The subject matter is mine and may range from comic books to ultimate or from Baseball to feminist-centered media criticism. Until I feel I have enough content for multiple blogs, or until I am seized with a desire to create multiple blogs, this is it, and appropriately so. "Sense of Doubt" came about in Bowie’s Berlin period and the dark, ambient collaborations with Brian Eno. Like the Bowie of 1978, I have my own darkness that steals over me and through me, infecting everything. At the risk of sounding far too melodramatically obsessed with my own self-flagellations, this blog dedicates itself to that darkness, that infection. But it’s fun, too. Hey, I can be amusing? Or not. It’s the way of the [w]rench. Neurosis compelling action in insecure double-checking and misunderstanding evasions. It is my way.

More from the original description text that needed editing in 2015: Furthermore, Sense of Doubt is dedicated to the random. The theme is no theme. Just questions, doubt, and uncertainty. Feel the power of not knowing the answer. So dedicated on the last day of July 2006 by the Galactic Monkey Wrench.

The Galactic Monkey Wrench

This is the logo of the Galactic Monkey Wrench. I was given the nickname Galactic Monkey Wrench in college by a friend of mine who felt that I threw the monkey wrench into the cosmos at every available opportunity. Later, in discussions with my best friend, who is the Lord of Chaos (the Loc), he asked for my title and when I told him, without thinking, he blurted out "the gmr!" Since this was random and we appreciate randomness, I became the gmr, even though technically I should be the gmw. But gmw sounds like a car or some industrial manufacturing firm that makes a strange widget of which one has never heard. This acronym fetish may make no sense to anyone else, but my friend and I are quite driven to provide acronyms for many things. At the very least, it allows us to keep our conversations obscure and often private as no one knows about what we're talking.

A Feast for Crows

by George R.R. Martin

This book is a little slower than the others. But if you become invested in this series, it provides key information about the history of Westeros and the lands across the Narrow Sea. It may not contain chapters with my favorite characters ...

A Game of Thrones

by George R.R. Martin

Do I really need to review this book? It's one of the best books I have ever read. Martin is a great writer. All the books are great, and I am loving my time rereading them. If you have not checked out these books, start here and get ready ...

The Golden City

by John Twelve Hawks

These books are immensely entertaining. Treat yourself to some strong writing, great action, compelling characters, and a mix of metaphysics and theology. The ending of this third book, which is presumably the last, is anti-climactic and so...

Pathfinder

by Orson Scott Card

This was a fun book. Not OSC's best but very good OSC nonetheless. The best thing about is the time travel, slowing, and speeding powers of the characters and how OSC engages the reader in discussion of causality and time paradox. For fans ...

Swamplandia!

by Karen Russell

This book came to me via my wife Liesel who discovered it and urged me to read it. Beautifully written with compelling characters and a sense of the magical (yet realistic, somewhat). Funny yet full of the pathos that marks a good if not gr...
