Sigh..Vamp Diaries - you should have left it on Bourbon Street.

A bit of good news via NY1...NY has convinced the President of US to ask Congress for 60.4 Billion in relief. (17 Billion -housing relief , 11.5 Billion federal disaster relief, 9 Billion transit repair, 4 Billion army corps of engineers , 9 Billion for federal flood insurance , 1 Billion for small business loans). The money will be split between NY, NJ and CT, with NY getting the lion's share. But it might be held up by Congress who is fighting against a fiscal cliff and a Republican Congress who prefers to spend on War and Defense, and less on boring domestic issues such as disaster relief, education, etc. So it's mixed. (Eh, the news frustrates me, it's been shut off.)

So attempted to watch fluff, but it was incredibly frustrating fluff...spent most of my time yelling at the tv or rather arguing with it. Oh well, at least we now understand the sire bond as it relates to vampirism in Vamp Diaries.


* So if Stefan and Damon were so madly in love with Katherine before she sired them, why aren't they bonded to Katherine? Did the bond transfer to Elena or something? Or does it just work on women? If so...how sexist.

* Good witchcraft is called magic, but black witchcraft is called expression? What is this a commentary on "expressionism" as it relates to art? Oh well, at lease...we now know that Atticus Shane is evil. Whether he is more evil than Klaus has yet to be determined. (Yes, the writers are a bit witty with the names, aren't they?)

* 12 human souls have to be sacrificed to get to the power at the heart of "expression" according to Nandi, the New Orleans witch. So...what would 12 unsired hybrids do exactly?
Does Atticus plan on sacrificing them to get to this power with the help of Bonnie?

* How hypocritical can Caroline be? (Bonnie at least has an excuse, she doesn't know Atticus Shane is evil and leading her down the dark path. Caroline? You know Klaus is evil.
Yet you flirt shamelessly with him anyway and get all your info from him.) Oh well, at least Caroline got to be the damsel this week as opposed to Elena...but not to worry, Elena offered herself in Caroline's place, while Tyler played hero. Caroline you've been spending too much time with Stefan, it's making you incredibly self-righteous and judgmental. Methinks an intervention is in order. This is not a good friendship for you.

*Stefan were you always this self-righteous, manipulative and hypocritical? Or was that Lexie's effect on you? Why Damon wants to be around you, I've no clue. I'd have left ages ago. There's got to be better traveling companions. I don't know..the whole brotherly bond bit...is overrated. Also, Damon, seriously, Charlotte? I thought you had better taste. Vamp Diaries is not doing a good job this season with the guest-casting.

* How many times do these types of shows have to do the whole..."I'm so bad for you, so I'm going to do the incredibly self-less and painful act, and leave you forever" bit? Note to writers...lazy sexist writing. Stop doing it. At least on True Blood, Sookie broke it off. Yes, it's odd, but so far Sookie has a far more feminist storyline than Elena.

Sigh. I should have watched Vamp Diaries last night and Big Bang Theory tonight. Oh well.

How does one break a bond for dumb supernatural soap operas?

Here is the thing - without anything like Buffy or Pushing Daisies to interest me - I adore the fact that Vampire Diaries can make me laugh out loud or gasp in surprise almost every week. I stopped expecting anything else and it makes it so very enjoyable. I advise this course of action cause trying to make it into anything else is kind of hopeless!

True. Doing much the same thing myself. Stefan and Caroline are just grating on my ever last nerve at the moment...but spoilers advise me this will not last forever...ah soap operas, at least they change.
