Pointless Post is Pointless. Except for the Pointed Teeth.

Okay, so even though I'm not a huge fan of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, I started watching True Blood. Mostly because of Askars. And it was kinda a trainwreck, so I kept watching. And even though Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) is hot, especially in pictures like this:



Jessica is totally hotter.



The first Twilight movie? The only decent thing about it was Ashley Greene looking hot as Alice Cullen.



And I'm watching the American version of Being Human (another trainwreck of a show), and I love Aidan (especially with those dimples or when he has that ridiculously confused look)



but Rebecca?



Apparently I like girl vampires?

Also, Thomas Raith is still my favorite vampire and I still don't understand why there aren't more crossovers with the Dresden 'verse. Or flat out Dresden Files fic.

But Jim Butcher did put the first chapter of Ghost Story up on his website earlier tonight: go check it out!

That first picture. Only instead of vampires, it makes me think that Brad got into a bar fight, or, you know, half of Bravo-Two got into one, and when he stumbles home, Ray rants at him for waking him when he knows Ray's got an exam in the morning, but the verbal lambasting ends when Ray switches the light on and sees the blood on Brad's lip.

I def like your version better than vampires!

How was the concert?

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

:D It was good. They did a lot of splicing songs from the new album together with old stuff, media-wise. Like, the opening of the concert was the Mario Salvo quote that starts Wretches and Kings, but they didn't actually sing W&K, they went right into Paranoid.

I'm slowly moving Aaron down into the pit for a LP show. We had GA tickets this time (he always wanted seats when we saw them before) but he didn't want to wade into the crowd, so we hung out with friends back near the sound booth. But I WILL CONVINCE HIM EVENTUALLY. :D

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

Lol, I can just see you finally concincing A to hang out in the pit with you and him ending up with a concussion.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

That's sort of why he doens't like the pit - a crowd-surfer got dropped on his head at a Less Than Jake show a few years ago, and he slipped on a banana on the floor when he tried to brace himself, and it seriously injured his neck and made him dizzy for days.

I remember that story! It'd be his luck that it'd happen again. I would sincerely hope not, but.

I am going to be lazy this weekend and stay home and cook and watch NASCAR and write fic. (that's your warning - I'm probably gonna harass you.)

They have an American version of Being Human? That makes me kind of sad.

[elebridith]

Sorry for butting in, but I just fell in love with your icon - is it by any chance snaggable? *loves owls*

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

yeah. I haven't seen the original version, but the American version is kinda ridiculous. I'm not surprised.

[elebridith]

And while I'm here... (was browsing the chrisandsteve flist, hi! *waves*) I totally second the crossover with Dresden Files idea. Thomas is awesome. (Just started book 6):-)

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

hi! There need to be a MILLION crossovers with the Dresden 'verse. SPN/Dresden would be so easy! Harry Potter too! Bandom would be easy - the majority of bandom came from Chicago! Tom Conrad is totally a werewolf! There are bandom vampire aus in Chicago and the White Court has a exclusive vampire night club!

lol, sorry. I just see so many possibilities! I had this whole Dresden/SPN crossover plotted out once, like during SPN S3 maybe? And at the start of the Vampire Wars? But I never wrote most of it. :(

Thomas is my absolute favorite. I adore him, even after everything that goes down (which you haven't gotten to yet), and he really is my favorite vampire. I actually really like the whole Vampire Courts thing that Jim Butcher has created, and one of my favorite things about the Dresden 'verse is how Jim Butcher interacts with his fans. He's pretty awesome.

[elebridith]

I'm not that big into SPN, but a crossover with Dresden, I'd read like whoa. *nods* And oh Thomas. The thing with Justine... aw. :-(
Butcher's world is awesome. *nodnodnod*

Tell me, why are all the good shows trainwrecks?!? I have so much love for True Blood, but the show is 100% crack and fanservice but it realizes it and has the people on it get naked a lot.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

naked is good :P

[jmc-bks.livejournal.com]

I like ASkars as Brad. True Blood, eh. But that top pic could be the jumping off point for any number of Brad/Ray fics.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

YES! H already mentioned a good jumping off point up there *points* but I would totally be okay with seeing how many different ideas we could come up with based on that picture. :)

oh! I owe you an email!

(but on the subject of True Blood - I had a long weekend to myself because my mom took the kids to the beach and someone sent me the first three seasons so I kinda just watched all of it? It's so bad.)

[jmc-bks.livejournal.com]

Brad's lip is bleeding because he has finally pushed Ray to violence. Ever since Ray told Brad he was thinking about leaving the Corps, Brad has been acting like a paranoid asshole. Like leaving the Marines means Ray's leaving Brad. As if. Brad is stuck with him for life, and he's had enough of the petty jabs. Nothing Brad says is going to push him away, and if he has to kick Brad's ass on a daily basis to make that sink in, so be it.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

Oh, Brad, why you gotta be like that? ♥

My turn.

Brad's feeling pretty self-satisfied, even though he was forcibly ejected from the bar. It was just a shitty college town hole-in-the-wall anyway. It's not like he was planning on passing through here again.

He tastes blood on his lip and grins. The saying "but you should see the other guy" totally fits this situation. And Brad was doing a noble thing, defending a girl's honor from a drunken frat boy.

He catches sight of the girl, her steps a little unsteady as she and her friend, and decides it would negate his good deed if he didn't at least offer to see them home.

The pair turned around as he approached and his girl grinned.

"Fuck, man, that was badass! Plus you just won me fifty bucks! Our bet was only that I had to get a guy to buy me a drink, but that was so fucking better."

What the fuck? Brad wondered if maybe he had a head injury after all.

LJ doesn't like me for some reason, and only just delivered a notice of your comment :(

Oh, Brad. Even when he tries to be a knight in shining armor, it turns out wrong.
