But I can't take the red, white and blue ones. I love this country and I am as patriotic as they come but apparently some people think the day to celebrate our nation's independence in Dece. 25th. There are also those who feel that orange is suitable. Or maybe they are just too lazy to take down the Halloween light.Linda Mickeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06553511100114310777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073709926260396915.post-17870379781007600522008-11-02T10:01:00.000-05:002008-11-02T10:01:00.000-05:00I love this blog entry. I "fall" for fictional characters periodically and I am intrigued by the fact that my "interests" are usually flawed heroes who are members of the supporting cast. Joe Pike or Hawk for example. Back up a few years and I had a thing for Marcus on Babylon 5. Speaking of which, I think I'll dig out my DVDs and spend the afternoon with Marcus.Linda Mickeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06553511100114310777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073709926260396915.post-71493379626910634032008-09-05T09:57:00.000-04:002008-09-05T09:57:00.000-04:00Hey, Debi!

I was at Blockbuster and saw that they have tons of copies of the pilot that you can rent for free, so I would highly recommend you do that.<BR/><BR/>Having never read a Sookie novel, I found myself really enjoying it. I've been anticipating this because I'm an Alan Ball fan (American Beauty, Six Feet Under). The show has a very cool feel to it. The cast is great, especially the guy who plays Bill. The mythology is interesting as well because they seem to have no intention to reveal it all anytime soon, which I like. <BR/><BR/>So I'm looking forward to the rest of the season and now I'm going to check out Dead Until Dark.Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13054213679703476461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073709926260396915.post-42416932150314850112008-08-30T23:47:00.000-04:002008-08-30T23:47:00.000-04:00Great imagination and creativity.<BR/><BR/>We went on a family bike ride and my little guy (4yrs old) has a hard time staying to one side.

I'm not a fan of werewolf novels, prefer shape shifter, don't know why. Probably because I love wolves and what they stand for and don't think most werewolf novels portray them well, but they are fiction, after all.Velda Brothertonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08840437641918894913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073709926260396915.post-71433104535558949962008-08-22T13:11:00.000-04:002008-08-22T13:11:00.000-04:00Thanks for the review. I'll keep my eye out for it.<BR/><BR/>Question -- how do you know what to call all these books. Is it urban fantasy because it involves a vampire and it takes place in a city? Would a werewolf book in the country be called rural fantasy? What is paranormal? Does it involve ghosts or spirits? And what is Harry Potter? Fantasy or is there some other word for alternate universes?<BR/><BR/>Sign me clueless.Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03171630819400384478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073709926260396915.post-69983858328630006052008-08-20T09:04:00.000-04:002008-08-20T09:04:00.000-04:00Too bad we don't get HBO.
