Watching Supernatural

Its Friday, so I must be watching my new obsession, the CW's Supernatural. I am so shocked after watching the CW ( all seasons of Smallville, Vampire Diaries, Nikita, Gossip Girl and so on,) for years its only now that I getting into this show. I have to give credit to TNT, I've been catching up on the show all summer right up til now. Definitely dropping coin on the Season 6 DVD, loving it so far on TNT, though they seem  to be six episodes short of showing the full season. Wishing I could decide between rough and rugged guy Dean and tall sexy wounded Sam; they touch on very different sides of my personality. Well... theres nothing wrong with crushing on both characters so I guess I'll indulge myself. Though years ago I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer so I had to tune in for tonight's episode "Shut up. Dr. Phil" with Spike and Cordy (James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter) respectively. Its was nice to see them in action again, even though they made mince meat out of Dean and Sam as feuding married witches. Next weeks epi looks like a odd one, seems the guys are going postal.

A Great Read Teaser: "Catching Fire"

Something new to add to this blog, will be a teaser snippet of whatever book, I am currently reading. I love to read ; through my childhood I devoured books the way others ate Oreos and Chips Ahoy cookies. More oftentimes than not I am reading more than one book at a time, but for this purpose I will start with the second book in "The Hunger Games" series " by Suzanne Collins, "Catching Fire" that I started last month.

" Tell me about it," I say . If I could've just hated him in the area, we all wouldn't be in this mess now. He'd be dead, and I'd be a happy little victor all, by myself." "And where would we be Katniss?" asks Gale.

"The Hunger Games" series is hot in Hollywood right now, its currnetly on tap for the big screen with "it girl" Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role of heroine "Katniss Everdeen."

Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Bonnie and Damon

In love with the hotness of Bonnie and Damon on "The Vampire Diaries". I have a FB fan page (Bonnie and Damon (Semper Mia) to celebrate and honor the lovliness of "Bamon". I live with hope that the writers of TVD will partake in the huge chemistry emenating from Kat Graham and Ian Somerhalder. When they are on screen together the I hate you/eye sex heat is palpable. Lets (please) not waste the natural talent here people!!!!!!!!!!!
I love "The Vampire Diaries", watching the new Season 3 episodes are a highlight in my week, sad (sigh) I know but I really love escapism through television. So far the episode "The Hybrid" is a favorite, pitch perfect; funny, dramatic, so tragically romantic I could barely stand it. Stefan and Elena ( Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev) are killing it softly. Damon ( Ian Somerhalder) poor boy *tsk* love him to bits but he needs to move on from his misplaced, supposed love for Elena. Damon should  realize and recognize Elena  is a rebound from his epically abysmal love for Katherine.

So what now ?

I am so tired of treading water in my life, something has to change and I will make it happen, I am not one to settle. Not settling carries a high price for me...failure,lonliness,sadness and any other negetive you can think of, but I am compelled to proceed in this vein. Like usual I have a halfbaked plan that I am working with, I suppose halfbaked is better than none.  I am still pursuing becoming a paid writer but really have to get going with that, I procastinate alot on this subject. I was thinking I should write and submit to Helium and Suite 101 that sounds like a viable idea. I am thinking I need to start another blog to keep my articles apart from my personal blogging, it would be good to make better use of this blog with lighter fair such as movie reviews and comments on my favorite TV shows, random thoughts and commentary in general.

Starting from one....

Sooo... here I am having made another huge and frightening and sudden change in my life; I've relocated to Upper Darby, PA to take a chance on a new life. Most of my family thinks leaving my job and New York in general to be a boneheaded move, but I needed to get out of the suffocating situation that I was in. Working for the Yonkers Employment Center under the NYS Department of Labor was a blessing and a trial, the job came at the right time in my life, but it was a deadend and I have never been able to live in a corner. My fear is while I think that I am escaping, I am really still there.....in the corner.
