The Kee

Sookie and Bill are engaged in real life.

Don’t use “I don’t have HBO” as an excuse not to watch True Blood. Season One is on out on DVD now and you can watch new episodes at casttv.com.

Do it.  It has funny, sexy, trashy characters and the music is good.

And – although he he has a short new haircut for Season Two – you can see Eric my hair twin.

I finally found him.  An adult male with my exact same hair.  I thought it would never happen — but tah dah! — it did.  Here’s the unnecessarily round about version of how the road was paved with vampire lust.

1.  Discover simple pleasure of Count Chocula as a young child; eat it really fast so cereal grabby brothers can’t get to it.

2.  Read Anne Rice novels in 5th grade; inner yearning for a 300 year old boyfriend is established.

3. Watch the 1992 Kristy Swanson version of  Buffy The Vampire Slayer at every single sleepover in 5th and 6th grade. Luke Perry, Donald Sutherland, Pee Wee Herman, Hillary Swank, and David Arquette give powerhouse performances as I secretly question whose side I’m really on.

4.  Yada Yada Yada, I was real tired in the morning.

5. Read the Twilight series ahead of the colossal tidal wave of hype; have to live with the shame of crushing on the same fictional character as my 8th grade students but spread the gospel of Twilight anyway.

6. Meet the beautiful train wreck that is Robert Pattinson on screen as Edward Cullen.

7. Hear about HBO’s True Blood.  Read the Sookie Stackhouse novels (the first season is based on the first book) while I wait for the series to hit Netflix.

8.  True Blood came out last week.  The last disc arrives tomorrow.  Rent it — it’s hot and trashy and funny — and you can see Eric, my hair twin!
