Moonlight=crack

My friend JL loaned me her Moonlight DVD set, and guess what?

I can't seem to stop watching it. I'm on the last disk of the four, and, halfway through, have started to feel anxiety about it ending!

Thank you JL. You knew this would happen, didn't you? You even kind of warned me in that casual way of yours that this series is equivalent to the Weather Warden books, only it has pictures that move. You knew I'd like that.



It has everything required to make for GREAT beach TV:

Vampires

Great clothes. (love the wardrobe choices...very hip but glam LA casual..)

Sexual tension. (see the Vamp part..duh)

Pretty cast. (Honestly, I didn't know abs could get that ripped in real life and not be part of a super hero costume. Seriously...)

Good guys.

Bad guys. (very very bad..like supernatural, undead bad)

Beautiful settings...lofts, nicely decorated ritzy apartments, etc.

Ambiguity. In plot. In intent. In characters. Enough to keep things pretty interesting throughout.

The part I don't really like but goes with the whole vamp thing...is I'm kind of getting used to the idea that 'civilized' vamps can choose to drink AB+ blood out of a glass in lieu of from the neck of a human.

How messed up is that? I mean, that I'm ok with that?

Oh, and hubby..well he's astounded that I'm watching something so deep and dark and dangerous.

Says he suspects I had a personality transplant while he was backpacking in the Pecos last week. After all my aversion to gore and blood and violence in general is well documented.

Must be the vamp thing.

It might have been the moon

 The second Super Moon, also a Harvest Moon, just happened. On the same night I had my mini-meltdown. (see prior post). I've talked with several friends who reported intense emotions, mostly around stuff that needs to be released, resolved. When I think about my angst, and how intense it felt, I realize it was all about that kind of stuff. Old stuff, patterns, thinking, habits. So maybe the moon precipitated things. The bubbling up of angst and anger and icky stuff lasted all that night, but had calmed by yesterday morning. Thank gawd, because that was a morass of darkness, the likes of which I haven't experienced in at least a decade. The rest of the weekend has been pleasant. Uneventful. Full of errands, chores, a really nice walk this morning, yummy food, naps, etc. The one thing about energy that feels constant is that no mood lasts forever. Energy continually shifts and morphs, like the Universe knows too much, too long, of any one sentiment just isn't a good idea for ...

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...

Experiencing system issues

Last night we booked my return flight from Rhode Island. The one I'll be taking once I've situated Daughter in her dorm digs. We used rapid rewards, which tends to take a little longer than other transactions. But still. We were on the phone for almost an hour. An hour! Really? And we had to give them the credit card number 5 times. For one flight and one rental car. I'm just sayin' you guys may be the best bet out there in terms of airline choices, but come on! At least provide fun Hold music if you're going to make people engage for that long. Seriously.
