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.

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

May I please be excused?

When G.G. was sorting through the mail the other night he stopped, then started to chuckle. And then he handed me an envelope in which a Jury Summons was contained. He chuckled because he has been called twice, and I have never been called. And for some reason he thought that wasn't right, or fair, or something. Well, I got mine. But it turns out I need to ask them a favor. To postpone my civic duty until after the holidays. Because before the holidays I am responsible for planning and overseeing and/or executing all year end marketing and PR for our little company, as well as publishing our final edition of an e-pub that now distributes to over 300K people each edition, so it needs to look good. And not have spelling errors and stuff. And then when that e-pub flies? I'll be flying, literally, to Providence, then to Europe and the Middle East. There's a lot to get done before I go, and I'm desperately hoping that our jury management system accepts my reque

Frigid

There's cold, and then there's the cold that takes your breath away when you breathe in too deeply. We've got that right now. Clear, blue skies, and frigid cold temps. There's just enough warmth in the sun to cause the enormous icicles that have formed along our roof to break off, sort of a mini calving like you'd see in the Antarctic when an iceberg cleaves. And loud, a big CRACK! happens, and then Whump! it hits the ground. The governor just issued a state of emergency for the entire state. And asked all of us to lower our thermostats ten degrees! Right. So, if we're having issues keeping pipes unfrozen with normal range furnace use, what's going to happen when/if we drop that range ten degrees? That's the difference between liquid and frozen water. Ten degrees doesn't sound like a lot, but it is. And I'm pretty sure she's not going to have her staff lower her thermostat by the ten degrees she's proposed, then put on her silk long
