LINES OF THE DAY

". . . But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past -- or more accurately, pastness -- is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past." p. 15

". . . But we may want to keep in mind that deeds and words are not as distinguishable as often we presume. History does not belong only to its narrators, professional or amateur. While some of us debate what history is or was, others take it into their own hands." p. 153

So, True Blood

Sookie and Warlow created the purple sparkle wompdoo.


Sookie's pregnant with the consequences in season 7.

Anyway, what else ya gonna do, when writers are finally stymied with no more sharks left even to jump, but to start the next generation?

But -- aren't Sookie and Warlow, like Sookie and Grampa Niall, relatives? (Isn't Jason adorable the way he says Grampa?)

Most of the cast are citizens of the British Commonwealth, putting on Louisiana accents. Rutger Hauer makes a great grandpa.
