True Blood

It's that dreaded time of year: the mid-season hiatus. Which means I haven't had an OUT fix in ages. So not okay. The good this is Vampire Diaries returns tomorrow and I'll be watching it on my parents' 60" TV. In the mean time, having lots of free time (winter break, wooh!) and pretty much nothing to do (I do have to write a paragraph for my bossies in Aussieland this past summer, but I'm failing miserably at that) I've turned to books (8 of them, 1 down, 6.75 to go) and, of course, my go to, some good ol' fashioned television.

What's on my watch list?
- I finished the Australian teeniebopper show H2O: Just Add Water. I have to say, the third season definitely suffered from ducking out casts, plot holes, and a general sense of urgency. I will say that it had plenty of mermies and pretty girls to look at though. Overall, worth the watch, especially since it's on Hulu now, but only if you want to learn the accent and you really love mermies. Which both applied to me.
- I'm currently in the third season of True Blood. After ages of seeing the commercial for it for Christmas time, finding out Sookie is a faerie from that (although I still don't know it from the show yet), and the fortuitous discovery that my dad has HBO GO, meaning I can watch it legally, I've been on a major vampire binge.

I have to say the plots are superb, the color palette is gorgeous, and despite its graphic nature (both sexual and gory-wise) I just can't stop watching. Vampires, shifters, mindreaders, demons, and werewolves, oh my! All they need is an Australian mermaid, and it'll be perfect. My favorite characters so far are Sookie (of course), Godric (can he come back please?), Jessica (I think it's because I like the hair so much), and Eric (because I just can't figure him out, and I like that he fucks with everyone else's minds).

You can expect more commentary from me in the future, as I have very few friends that share the show with me.

Toodles!
