I finally got the transcripts and the fee wavier into the UWM-Milw office so hopefully in a few weeks I’ll hear back on whether or not my application was accepted. I had to get as much done today as I can since the kids start their summer vacation tomorrow so getting anything done becomes far harder.
The Pride Festival seemed to go well, not that I got to see much of it. One of these years I have to lesson the shifts I do volenteering so I’m not too tired to enjoy myself. I did get to meet some new folks, and it’s always great to see the families coming together during the day. Monster lass got a cold so she didn’t get to go this weekend, but she did help both days of set up (since she got suspended from school for two days *sigh*)
I got to watch the first episode of the second season of True Blood yesterday since I taped it while I was at the Pride event. I am soooo addicted to this show. It’s the first TV series I’ve bothered keep up with (after watching the first season on DvD that is) for years. I really enjoyed this new episode, and if you want to hear more about my thoughts come read past the spoiler line.
There’s something inherently wrong when you find yourself celebrating upon seeing the horribly mutilated body of a woman, but I did cheer in glee I admit it. I was sooooo happy that the body didn’t belong to Lafayette (as it had in the books) that I cheered aloud for almost s full 30 seconds. I had been certain that if the show moved off canon as much as they seemed to be, that if the body wasn’t Lafayette it would make most sense to be Miss Jeanette. I was very pleased to have been right.
I wasn’t real happy for the first shot of my beloved bad boy Lafayette to look like a flashback scene from Roots, however it did make sense once I found out it was the vamps that had him and the other that they were being treated like animals. I get the feeling the vamps see less skin color and more a over all anti human racism in this case. My hope that once Lafayette gets a chance to talk to the sheriff of highlights himself (okay Eric you are far less scary killing some redneck with foil in your hair, sorry dude!) he can explain that he didn’t kill Eddie, was just trading good hot lovin’ for blood. Eric is a business man, he’d understand a mutually beneficial transaction like that.
Blah blah blah, Bill and Sookie fight, make up sex, moving on…
I’m loving the bad girl teen vamp though. It would be cool for her and Sookie to BFF up since Bill is getting on my nerves to be honest. I do get why Sookie didn't want the check, but darn, giving it to her bro...not going to turn out well.
I’m getting tired of all the Het sex, I can’t wait to see the Queen of Louisiana to come in with her gyrl lovers and heat things up. I admit, I wouldn’t mind if they actually showed some of Tara and Sam or Tara and Egg (mostly for the Tara part), but Regina might have some non-nudity thing in her contract, so I may end up having to be disappointed around that.
I know…I know…Marianne is supposed to be a badie if I go by the version of her as a maenad in the book, but I really really like her anyways. I love the way she told off Tara’s mother. The last thing Tara needs is to have the woman she trusts so much turn out to be using her. And yeah, Carl, didn’t nobody need any damn towels!
There was lots more cool stuff in the episode, and now next Sunday feels so very very far away. Here’s the best episode recap I’ve seen so far, one of many people I know who don’t like vamp shows, but are now hooked on First Blood because it’s so beyond sparkly vamp stuff.
