Pink Spandex!

Oh baby, oh baby! I do believe we are going to get our pink spandex scene in True Blood!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Thank GOD!

Ausiello says:

"Alexander Skarsgard's Nordic vamp has an extremely homoerotic encounter with a character who shall remain nameless."

The comment is in reference to an orgy scene that happens in the show this season. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Loving it.

Here is the whole Ask Ausiello article. Enjoy!

The Sisterhood

She carried her three boxes of Froot Loops, two cartons of milk and and her banana across the deck and sat next to Diana.

"Do you sleep?" Diana asked. "Where were you this morning?"
"Swimming" Bridget answered.



Kari, this is you. You have to admit it's true.

New Book Idea!

I propose we read Night Games and Other Stories and Novellas by Arthur Schnitzler. The story "Dream Story" is the inspiration for the Stanley Kubrick film Eyes Wide Shut. It sounds really good and I think we would all enjoy it.

I'm going to check my copy out at the library tomorrow :D

Sookie Stackhouse Series

I've been thinking about where the next book in the series can go and this is what I've come up with.

Eric talks about the compulsion/bond to do what the maker says... even when you desperately want to get away. So, Eric is a sheriff of backwater Louisiana and he's said that he has no interest in becoming a King. It seems to me like he is trying not to draw too much attention to himself- like he doesn't want to make himself too powerful...maybe too useful to his nasty maker? I think his maker is still out there and Eric doesn't want to become an instrument again. And with Bill's new program it would be so easy for a maker to check up on one of his children!... another reason for Eric to dislike Bill.

Sookie will just have to kill off this maker too. But what about the bond she shares with Eric? Will she also feel the compulsion to do as the maker says through Eric? This would definitely be useful to an old vampire- having Eric AND Sookie doing his will. He will want to strengthen that bond between Eric and Sookie...maybe make her another Renfield.

This also explains why Eric is so good to his followers and why he cried over Clancy's death. Eric wants to be a strong and just leader, unlike his maker. It's like a Daddy complex. My dad didn't love me so I'll do one better and love my children.

Come on Kari, what are your theories?

Baby blanket

This blanket only requires 4 stitches, I think. very EASY!!! Want to learn?

Coming in First

"They'll always come first... I want to be first. I know that's selfish, and maybe unattainable, and maybe shallow. But I just want to come first with someone. If that's wrong of me, so be it. I'll be wrong."

This is an excerpt from one of the Sookie Stackhouse books.


I can think this way. Of the few places where I can be first without feeling guilty, this is an important one. I could not live with being second to: a job, a hobby, other family/friends, a religion, a country, a cause. And really, this may be shallow and selfish, but I am not the kind of person who could settle so benignly for second place. I can't be the pillar without knowing that I have an equally supportive pillar for me.

I wonder what that says about me. And I can't even say with conviction that I rightly know how it would feel to think differently. It's too much a part of me.



So, any thoughts and personal insight?
