Vampire Diaries - Review of this week's episode.

Occasionally when I post to LJ, then edit it - it ends up double-posting, so I have to delete one of the entries - which isn't an issue except when you get comments to both entries. Then it's sort of eeney meanie miny moe. I suppose I could keep both, but I'm anal, it bugs me. Sorry for last night,
a nasty side-effect of a sugar high is the crash afterwards. Have decided to go cold turkey. No more chocolat or sugar for moi.

Results of Reader Poll - pretty much stated that people wanted reviews on more or less everything I listed. In particular the Spike comic. There were also about 7 people who wanted Vampire Diaries. And since I saw that last night, might as well review. It was an interesting episode,
exposition heavy but with great character moments. The series also has an interesting mythology or back story - that is different than most of the stories I've seen in this particular trope. In some respects the fantasy world that the writers are building here is more detailed and far less derivative than other gothic horror tv shows and novels.

And it has some great one-liners.

Took a meandering walk through my neighborhood - where I stopped off at the local B&N and cheered myself by picking up several magazines and two Glee CD's. The music in Glee makes me happy. As my Aunt M states...in some respects their renditions of the songs are better than the original artists or at the very least more joyful. Music is the cure-all for a black mood.

In the mags...30 minute meals (a cooking magazine with pretty pics and lots of cool recipes), two mags on publishing your novel and writing query letters and synopsises - because I suck at both and need to work on that if I ever want said novel to be published, and Sci-Fi Now...yes, I'm a geek, we already know this. Speaking off - Big Bang Theory annoyed me this week - occasionally it gets really sexist. Note to Big Bang Theory writers - lots of women adore Raiders of the Lost Arc and many women hate Eat Pray Love. Although they did make a point of showing that Sheldon's girl-friend liked Raiders and Raj liked Eat Pray Love. Still stereotypes abound at times. But this is true of the vast majority of American situation comedies.)

I also managed to write that article on Haiti, it's not perfect, but it's getting there.

And I read Angel issue 38 and Spike issue 2. Ambivalent about one, loved the other. But am hesitant to write reviews on them. Maybe tomorrow. Depends on my mood.
