So my dear friend from Spain
on_the_ground surprised me with an early birthday gift package last week. The lovely card she created had a super-adorable picture of Ms. Reinhart and Mr. Jolley, as we are both Haliens and Troopers. I posted it on my Instagram not knowing that Paul himself would Like and comment on it. Shindig! :)
You all should see Carmina's wonderful work below. <3
Ever since my Trooper journey started in late February, I've noticed that Paul has always favorited one or more of my tweets every single week and even responded to me a number of times, like what just happened a few hours ago. It's such a cool feeling when the person we're inspired by actually takes the time to interact with us, even if we don't expect it. This guy really treats his supporters well and is truly committed to making music that matters, so for that, I will always stand by him and his career. Hopefully he will be one of the breakout acts on this summer's American Idol tour so there will be lots of positive media coverage that can help him get noticed once it's all over. He deserves it.
Never have I expected the CW to pick up a historical drama series for its Fall debut. It doesn't look like the type of show the network would want to see succeeding. Still, I'm willing to give Reign a shot. It probably will never achieve the same quality as The Tudors, but its main storyline about the rise of Queen Mary of Scots is enough to get me interested. Again, I really don't know how the CW will handle this, considering it's widely recognized for airing chic shows, and Reign just doesn't seem like it will attract the network's core demographics. But I'm really curious to see how they'll promote it. Hopefully, it'll be one of the new shows that get the royal treatment, because the early trailers did show potential.
