"What is it with white people and jello?"

[truecrystal]

I've spent most of the past 3 days either crying or high on painkillers. The pain, oh the pain is back. The doctor told me this time would either be better because of the surgery or worse, and it was so much worse. And to top it off, I haven't slept for more than about 6 hours in the past 3 days. Needless to say, I feel like crap but at least I have another week at home to try to get myself together.

And since I was lying here with the heating pad in a nice Darvocet daze, I decided to start watching True Blood. I'm halfway through S1

• It took me 3 episodes before the accents stopped making my ears bleed.
• I think this is going to be like Alias was for me in that the show is entertaining while not necessarily being *good*, and I have absolutely no interest in the protagonist but find the show entertaining enough overall to be able to overlook it. I don't dislike Sookie, in fact I like her most of the time. And although I think AP is the weakest actor on the show, she's not bad enough to be distracting.
• Bill is...Bill. Bill/Sookie have the least interesting dynamic of all the characters to me. And lord are they chee-zee with the flowing nightgown and the cemetery sexing. But I like cheese so it's all good.
• It actually took me a while to warm up to Tara, but now I love her. It was actually the episode where she and Sam first hooked up that made me like her
• Speaking of Sam, I LOVE him. I know they want me to think he's evil, and I know *something* is up with him, but I don't think he's evil. And if he does turn out to be the killer, I'll be PISSED!
• You know who else I love? Like, LOVE love? Jason. And not just because he's built like a brick shithouse. He's kinda ferrety looking though so he doesn't really appeal to me other than those abs. But I love how dumb and vulnerable and assholish and sweet he is and how it's all right there in your face all the time.
• I'm also very glad that they didn't kill Lafayette off like they did in the books. Nelsan Ellis is fantastic.
• I guess all the fuss with Eric comes later huh?
