These are the "nights of our lives..."
Well... I must say that I had an interesting experience last night. For the first time in ages, Jai and I were totally alone for an evening. No kids, no friends, nothing we had to do.
So we went on a bikeride earlier in the evening.. then I made up some food (homemade guacamole & a salad), and then we settled down around 10pm to watch the "True Blood" series that we had gotten on Netflix--the first three discs.
We then proceeded to watch all of the first 7 episodes of the first season... finally going to bed around 5 am.
Weird thing is--neither of us actually thought it was super good. In fact, we both thought it was incredibly cheesy, with so-so acting, some stilted dialogue, and just generally that it was nothing comparable to our other favored series--such as 6 Feet Under, BSG, or Dexter.
Quite literally--it was a vampire soap opera.
Of course, perhaps that is what got us.. the whole soap opera aspects.. still.. it was quite odd.. I don't know if I'd recommend the series to anyone.. but I still would like to see the next episodes... Perhaps that will change if it remains at this level of cheese.. time will tell I guess..
