I read the latest Sookie Stackhouse book. It's killing me that I have to wait another year until the next one. I haven't been this into a series since Harry Potter. The tv show Trublood is based on the books. I'm not as big of a fan of the tv show as the books. Mainly because I can't stand the actress they have playing Sookie. Sookie is a barmaid in Louisiana and the narrator so right off the bat we aren't going to get as good a sense of her personality and humor. But she's supposed to be a busty gorgeous blond that would do anything for a friend and does. She also stands up for herself and doesn't take and shit from anyone. Instead they have Anna Paquin playing her with a bad southern accent, flat chest and a crappy dye job that screams the entire time. However I am looking forward to season 4 because Eric the vampire runs down the street naked. Eric is a sexy Viking
vampire, and I for one won't complain about seeing him in the buff. To the left is the actor that plays Eric. Not the best picture of him but it was the best I could find. I was hoping to find one of him shirtless but oh well, back to the books.I basically wish that the books and the characters in them were real. I want to go Bon Temps Louisiana and go to Merlotte's bar. I want Sookie and Sam to be my friends and I want to have hot vampire sex. (Don't judge me) But alas that world ends when the book does. I'm always a little sad when finishing one of the books.
I've also been watching Ally Mcbeal on netflix. While I find the shows silliness and musical numbers entertaining, the main character drives me nuts. Without all the other fun stuff the show would just flat out suck. Without that every episode is like this. "Hi, I'm Ally Mcebeal and nobody loves me whine whine whine. Why don't I have a man?? Why did he leave me? God I'm hungry maybe I should eat. Whine some more, stutter, stutter, stutter. Why can't I get a man???" Ugh every episode the same thing. And she's so caught up in Billy and I don't know why. He sucks and is a total asshole. I was kind of glad when his character kicked the bucket. I realize that I'm giving it away but the show is two decades old so I don't feel so bad.
My favorite character is Jon Cage. He makes the show in my opinion. I love his Barry White dances and all his silly quirks. And some of the cases that he wins I really am not sure how they win because they're so ridiculous. A lot of the cases involve sexual harassment and lookism. I feel like the show is telling us, yes we judge women harshly than men, looks are important, but women like to be judged on their looks so what's the big deal. It screams chauvinism in every way.
I've still been going to zumba classes and love them! I haven't enjoyed a workout so much since I first started doing tae-bo years ago. I go about 4 times a week and bootcamp on Saturday. I don't like paying the three dollars when I already pay a monthly gym membership but it's worth it I think.
This week is also the last week of school so no more subbing jobs for the summer which sucks but what can you do? I still have Sally's House at least. I'm also very excited to have an actual vacation for the first time ever. I've gone on vacation before obviously but never actually had vacation time. So would just miss work and be screwed when I came home. Getting paid while not being there is a foreign concept to me. That's what happens when you work at shit jobs your entire life. You appreciate the small things that people take for granted. So I'm counting down the days until then. Can't wait! It's also nice to have something to look forward to for once.
