New Look

If you've stopped by lately you might have noticed that we have a new look here. I got really bored with the same old, same old and so last night I dusted off photoshop and got busy creating. 

It's a good thing I was off today because I was up until 2 this morning doodling.

and yes, I'm totally serious. 

Up until 2, then back up at 7 to help Monster Face (aka Bree) get ready for school.

Oh and I learned how to add a signature to my posts (woot)

lol.

Now onto the serious business.

My husband is the best. 

Yup, he's better than yours too.

Oh, why, you ask.

Three words:

NFL Sunday Ticket

Yes, my friends, season long access to EVERY football game that gets played. But what it really means for us is no blacked out Jags games for me and every Bucs game for Steve. 

yeah, I'm pretty stoked. 

Now if only September would hurry up and get here. 

Srsly. 

Now onto the way more serious (and I mean seriously sexy!) topic at hand.

this Rolling Stones magazine cover. 

(hold your heart...)

I shiver every time I see it...dear dude who plays Eric Northman (aka blond guy) you are  RIDICULOUSLY good looking. 

for realz

and if you disagree i will poke you with my spork. 

I'm not kidding.

(ok, ok, yes, I am)

oh, and (before i forget) my werewolf story is a bust...I thought the idea was good, but after thinking about it and talking it over with myself (i have no one to bounce ideas off of) I decided that it's not as awesome as I'd originally thought. however, The Ties that Bind is coming along nicely...I've finally worked out all my angles - the who and the why...it should be quite a nice surprise when people actually find out who the stalker is...

(I'm very excited because it's not any of the usual suspects...when people finally learn who it is they're going to be like, "I totally did not see that coming." ...or at least i hope so)

So there you have it. The last few days of my life in a nutshell. Now off to fix the cat house...they've knocked it over. 

again.

Who are they?

In a recent post here, someone made a comment about not knowing who Stefan and Damon Salvatore or Sam and Dean Winchester were.

(Pause for dramatic effect..lol)

And I thought well hmm...not everyone is a cornball like me...lol...and not everyone likes uber handsome but-oh-so-devilishly-bad vampires or all that supernatural nonsense...I do however love all that corny nonsense. So this here post is a glimpse into me...

Once upon a time a author named L.J. Smith wrote a book called...(dun dun dun!!!!) The Vampire Diaries. I think book one is titled The Awakening, I say think because I haven't read it. One friend said it was kind of lamespice, another said it was good but it made her hate the show. Whateverspice, its all good. I didn't read it because I didn't want to. But back to the matter at hand. This fall the CW converted it into a TV show starring Paul Wesley as the ever broody, totally smexy Stefan Salvatore..aka the good brother.

Now at first I totally loved Stefan because Damon was a dick. Until this episode: The Lost Girls, where he pranced around on some structure in the house looking delicious (it didn't hurt that the song was awesome too, Anberlin's remake of Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence).  He might not be everybody's cup of tea, but he makes fun of Edward Cullen and Twilight and New Moon which totally cracked me up..yes I am one of "those" people..aka the ones who like Twilight and all that jazz..but it was still funny...I'd take the Salvatore brothers over Edward Cullen anyday...'nuff said.

So anywhoo, this is Ian Somerhalder as the viciously delicious Damon Salvatore, aka the jerky brother...

I'm not sure what exactly the point of the show is...lol...but Stefan's in love with a girl who looks exactly like his ex-vampire girlfriend Katherine, who was a skank and slept with both brothers. Damon's been looking for her and Stefan just wants to be a normal teenage and, like, be angsty and broody and makey-outey with Elena, the chick who looks like Katherine. It's entertaining and they sucked me in....lol..I'm such a drone...

Moving on to the next part of my post..Sam and Dean Winchester...(huge dreamy fan girl sigh..lol...I'm 27 going on 10..but shh don't tell, it'll just be our little secret). A friend of mine turned me on to Supernatural..gah I don't even know how..I think there was a Thursday night when nothing was on but Supernatural so I started watching was like, um hey, this Sam guy is way hot..so I rented all four seasons and went nuts. The rest, as they say, is history.

So for starters we have Jared Padalecki aka Sam Winchester aka "I swear to all that is Holy if I EVER see you walking unguarded down the street I will utilize the super spacious trunk of my smart little Focus and kidnap you."

for realsies.

And then Jensen Ackles aka Dean Winchester...he's a cutie too, but in an abrasive way..lol..

                                Dean                                               Sam


Ignore the puzzled expressions, it's a screen shot from Thursday's episode...you'd look confused too if you were standing in Eden talking to Joshua and he told you God decided he didn't care anymore...that and their cast photos are from like, five years ago..and it looks like Sam hasn't had a haircut since then. If anyone out there in cyber space knows this dude...please, beg him to get a haircut..the shag-a-doo is so not working for him..lol..

So there ya have it. Stefan and Damon, Sam and Dean...all in all that equals a damn good Thursday night...lol
