sulwenProof that the sexiest thing about a man is his brain: I'm starting to be seriously attracted to Bill Maher. He's not a handsome guy. But suddenly I'm having fantasies that involve oral sex and long, angry rants about the government.
I scare myself sometimes. But in a good way. *sheepish grin*
Also, I just finished watching an episode of True Blood on HBO - I think it was the second episode, possibly? Anyway, I honestly wasn't interested and I wouldn't have gone out of my way to watch it, but it was on, so I did. Here's the verdict:
Cons: I hate the setting. The American south and I don't get along. I have issues with rednecks, having grown up around them most of my life. The show is VERY redneck.
Pros: OMG THIS IS WHY I LOVE HBO. Because it can GO THERE when every other network (save my lovely Showtime) pussies out. Because there's BLOOD AND VIOLENCE AND SEX AND BONDAGE AND CURSING AND BREATHPLAY AND BLOODPLAY AND HIGH PRODUCTION VALUES AND AN HOUR WITH NO COMMERICALS AND OH MY GOD SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL FUCKING BLOOD AND BITING AND LICKING AND I LOVE IT. Plus I've always liked Anna Paquin, even when she's got that damn southern accent. And, no matter how fucked up this may be, I can only stomach het pairings these days when there's some kind of power play (or an even more hardcore kink) going on, and anything vampire totally satisfies that requirement.
Conclusion: I may be hooked. It's campy and certainly not the best written or acted thing on the planet, but I might still have to watch it for the totally shallow reasons listed above.
Mostly though? It made me want to watch Buffy. I think I'm off to watch some of my favorite moments from that show (First kisses! Biting! Rough angry break-the-building sex!) and lament the fact that it WASN'T on HBO.
