I'm listening to: The Beatles - Twist and Shout

I'd finished watching season two of True Blood since yesterday. I didn't care much for the bits with the annoying maenad and psychotic religious fanatics, but I still like it as a whole. Jessica and Hoyt are so sweet, and I really love Godric's character. But who wouldn't? A Gandhi of the vampires AND he's incredibly charming; a killer combination - no wonder he had to die after appearing in just three episodes. Even for fiction, maybe he's just too good to be true.

True Blood just puts Twilight to shame. It came nowhere near trying to cover everything with a saccharine candy shell so it was gritty and plain nasty sometimes because of the way it portrayed human nature. So bloody disgusting and realistic beyond (obviously) the immediate subject matter, the awful aftertaste it left lingering was from the realization that our world comes close to being as messed up and we don't even need vampires to do that. Yet amidst the horror (not to be confused with terror), there's still some room for love, beauty and redemption every now and then like little pieces sandwiched in between.

I can't hardly wait for season three =)





When you came in, the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt.
