The weather has been insane lately. We have had consistent rain for about a month now, and it is seriously fucking with my mountain biking. I figure it will dry up just in time for the temperature to be in the mid 90s, because spring hates me

True Blood is frickin' sweet! The books are even better. I've been spreading their joy for months and months now. Go out and buy them!

How far have you gotten in the tv show? :)

We just finished episode 10 last night, where Bill was tribunaled for killing the bartender.

There are a gazillion of those books, aren't there? Does the series follow them closely, or are they just a loose framework for the show?

[sidhedevil]

Oh, sweet! You're well into the season then!

There are 8, I think, at this point. The first season is Book 1, more or less. Some of the things in the show are different -- like Tara and Amy (Tara is a much different character and Amy never existed) -- but they're pretty dedicated to keeping the spirit of the book intact. I loved the series despite having read the first 4 books multiple times, and I appreciate the few changes they made. I especially <3 how they made Lafayette come alive. And Eric!

This season ends with a lead-in to Book 2, too, which makes me excited!

Have you read her Harper Connelly Series?
There are only 3 books in them and a 4th
coming out in october but I really liked
them. The main character was hit by lighting
can can hear dead bodies call to her to find
them.

True Blood is about Vampires learning Obten and Viss and blood magic?

Bitter, table for one! :)

OK, how are you guys getting the rain and hail and whatnot, and we're sunny and in the 80s without a HINT of a storm.

All is not well with the world.

And yes, Trueblood is badass.

Maybe we traded weather patterns with the pacific northwest. That would explain the past 2 months here.

Many people told you how awesome True Blood is. Shit Meg has been blogging about it for a year. Pay attention fool!

You must be a pod person, who has never met Mikey. What have you done with Frosty?

Dear Marvel, let me buy online comics legally.

[famularo]

Of all the retailers, Marvel actually has the best access to online comics.

[moonandserpent]

Yeah the do, but it's rental. I don't like to rent anything.

There is no reason Marvel and DC don't adopt an itunes-type model for comics.

[mithikall]

they're run by old people.
