New Vampire Obsession
Oct 15, 2008 Daily Blurbs
A few weeks ago I came across a new TV series, True Blood. At first glance, you would think it resembles the storyline of the book, Twilight. Being it a vampire-human love story, where Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is a waitress who can listen in to people’s thoughts; and Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a 173-year-old vampire, who recently came to her town, Bon Temps, Louisiana.
The TV series shows that vampires are now out of their coffins and into the society, where they can live side-by-side with humans. Thanks to a Japanese scientist who invented a synthetic blood available for purchase, vampires have removed human blood from their menu, or so they think.
I have only seen two episodes and I’m already hooked, just like I am hooked playing my friend’s playstation 3.

90210 Nostalgia
Sep 10, 2008 Daily Blurbs
It has been years since the last episode of Beverly Hills 90210 aired. I thought I’d never see Brenda or Kelly again, or the others.
I watched the 2-hour pilot and I felt a rush of nostalgia when the opening credits rolled, especially when I saw the sign, “West Beverly Hills High”. The theme song is the same, but modernized. Of course the Peach Pit is still there, but it is now more of a cafe than a burger joint.
I wasn’t expecting much from the show. The main character, Annie (Shenae Grimes), is kind of awkward, in my opinion. I guess, this spinoff is interesting and has its own challenges. I mean, Beverly Hills 90210 is a big part of those who grew up in the 90s.
The highlight for me is when Kelly and Brenda met at the Peach Pit. I wasn’t disappointed with the intensity of rekindling their ties to each other. I think Donna should join them, too. I await the next episodes. It is quite exciting to see the old characters merge with the new.

Thoughts on Gossip Girl II
Sep 4, 2008 Daily Blurbs
The second season of Gossip Girl just started. With all the viral videos that came out, being it more bold, I would say that we’re in for a better season. The first episode, “Summer, Kind of Wonderful”, was aired on September 1.
The troupe were in The Hamptons, a playground for the rich who own summer homes there. I won’t go into details, but basically, Serena and Nate had everyone fooled by pretending to be together during the Summer. Chuck Bass, would always be, Chuck Bass. With triplets in topless bikinis who I think swallowed the best diet pill to get into that shape. Blair returns with a hot guy, James. And Dan? He became a playboy after his breakup with Serena.
At first, I was annoyed with Dan, being that he turned out as a playboy after the breakup. I was more annoyed with Chuck, because he can’t even tell Blair he loves her, not want her. Then there’s Nate, getting it on with a married woman. I admit he became interesting because of this, but interesting in an annoying way.
Of course, I look forward to the next episode. Other than Gossip Girl, I am excited for Smallville’s new season, too.
