You'll have to excuse my lateness. It wasn't slackness, it was actually injury. It was Father's Day here in Australia on Sunday, and I cooked Mr. Minty potstickers. You can't buy these delectable little parcels of deliciousness in Australia - not that I've found. And we both fell in love with them on a trip to Los Angeles. All was going well until ( Read more... )

For those of you who didn't notice, I was late and slack on the whole book post, but here it is. I'm committed to the one book post a week thing. And I think at this point, the only thing keeping me to that promise is the reminder of True Blood every week. I'm hoping that my workload and schedule cycle down sometime soon so I can do more than ( Read more... )

I looked over at my husband during this episode - the lovely and adorable Mr. Minty - and he was picking a hair off his jacket. Yeah, he's real invested in this show - it's fucking riveting. We also had a chat about the fact that Anna Paquin is pregnant - mostly because I winced in that first scene when she fell over. I know she would have been ( Read more... )

This week's highlight of the episode happened on my couch, not on my TV. When Mr. Minty has to look at naked men or wang, and particularly hairy arses, he gets distressed. A great majority of True Blood's viewership is held to their screens by nudity. So Mr. Minty reeled back at the sight of SMoyer's butt, ASkars butt, and many other butts. So this ( Read more... )

Just in case you missed it, there was also a post I posted (posted posting) yesterday which covers much about hair fluffing and power. I was late this week with my SVM, and I've spanked myself and told myself never again. I'm probably a liar, and I'm sure I'll have to chastise myself again before the year is out. Bad me. Now that the ritual ( Read more... )

His long legs hanging over Bill? Worth watching way more. So to the weekly ravings about how much True Blood sucks. I didn't hear many spoilers this week of substance, beyond What the fuck? It's hard to say what that sort of spoiler means, really. And unfortunately, it was a direct contrast this week - Breaking Bad Season Five premiered right ( Read more... )

Well, this week was a good week to watch this stupid show. Because this was the episode that Alan Ball wrote. It gives an insight into what he thinks is important. So let's see how illogical he can get, and his special wimmen hatin' skills. One thing I'm noticing - particularly with this episode, is the lack of appropriate shot and blocking. For ( Read more... )

Well, I really screwed myself over with that break I took last week. I have another post for True Blood here, and another one for SVM almost ready. But I hate doing the update at the same time. I tend to write a lot, so that means that there's like a 8,000 word essay to finish all at once. I want to break it up, and this is, as I've said before, ( Read more... )

Now for those of you who do not have me on some kind of alert, and just browse your way here - this week's book subject post went up moments ago. This is the I hate True Blood post, wherein you can rage, laugh, and do quite a bit of contrariness swearing. Not that swearing isn't always welcome on this Livejournal. :P I was severely delayed this ( Read more... )

Well, True Blood continues the downward spiral. I know we didn't see anything of Russell in all this time. Which is a shame, but completely understandable. I mean, if he's only going to kill a small amount of people, then you've got to save him until the end. Last time, he killed what, five people tops? If you bring him out now he'll look like the ( Read more... )
