Do you know what's in two days?
That's right! It's the True Blood Season 4 premiere! I'm getting chills just thinking about it. In the meantime I've been watching (and re-watching) all of the HBO online promos, which are beautifully done and are only feeding the frenzy.
For the other TB-addicts, I would recommend checking out:

-http://www.babyvamp-jessica.com/ (a cute vlog for Jessica that ran parallel to Season 3. I only just learned about it, but it looks like they're starting it up again for Season 4!)

Top 10: Royal Wedding Mania!
Ever since the Royal Engagement was announced, memorabilia has been popping up left and right. For the most part it's the smiling couple's faces on pieces of china, coins, and stamps. But of course, there are those few pieces that are a bit more... out there. Add in the internet, where we can now make videos either honoring or spoofing the royal couple and you're bound to get some interesting odds and ends. In honor of Prince William and Kate Middleton's nupitals tomorrow, here's a list of my Top 10 favorite crazy knick-knacks and videos that have been spawned from the Royal Wedding Mania!
1. The T-Mobile Royal Wedding. Remember that fun dancing down the aisle video that went viral? T-Mobile did a spoof using Will and Kate as models.
2. Royal Romance- TheTheOtherGuys. This is by far my favorite video made for the royal couple. It's a parody of Bad Romance made by some of the guys who went to St. Andrew's with Will and Kate. If you haven't seen it yet, take a minute to watch it.
3. PEZ Dispensers
4. Beer. While not exactly high brow, I love the name.
5. Royal Couple Nails
7. Toilet Seat Cover. Is this supposed to be one of those sitting-on-a-throne references?
8. The Royal Refridgerator. Is this just in case you ever forgot who your future monarchs are?
9. Heritage Condoms. I thought royals wanted heirs?
10. Sick Bags. After everything I've just showed you, do I really need to explain?

Milking The Cash Cow
I don't have anything against Taylor Lautner. Anyone who can go from this...
to that...
seriously gets some credit. (Give me a call, kid, when you hit twenty-five.) But, despite his ability to harness puberty better than 99.9% of the population, he's not the best actor out there. I mean there's a reason we've got meme's like this one popping up:
So I wasn't quite sure whether to laugh or cry when I saw this trailer:
Milking the cash cow are we? No, Taylor Lautner isn't the best actor, but casting him in action/thriller films that blatantly bank on the Twilight crowd wanting to see them isn't going to help his career. There's a reason actors like Jason Statham and Bruce Willis usually take those roles- because when a nineteen year old does it, it looks kind of dumb.

BDB News
Ok, I'm a little late on posting this, so a lot of you have probably already heard this news but I wanted to comment on it anyway. JR Ward has announced that the next BDB book will be Tohr's!
(Sorry for the off sound and odd subtitles!)
First off, I haven't read Lover Unleashed yet so I can't remark on anything that might have developed there, but I think I read somewhere that he's going to be mating with No'One. I don't know if this was officially announced, so if anyone knows for sure please comment! Either way, I have a lot of mixed feelings about this. It's not that I don't want to see him happy again, but I'm not sure how JR Ward is going to pull this off. I still really love him and Wellsie and I don't particularly want to see him with someone else (well... maybe Lassiter lol). I just want him to be less depressed! The book doesn't come out until 2012 so I have some time to get used to the idea.
And I don't think I'm alone in saying I wish she would just write a book for Qhuinn and Blay instead!

You Could Have Fooled Me
Happy April Fool's Day! I hope everyone is staying out of too much trouble? Here are a few of my favorite pranks that I've stumbled across:
1. The Left-Handed Whopper
In 1998 BK "unvieled" the left-handed Whopper, where all the ingredients were rotated 180 degrees to satisfy their lefty customers. Apparently it was quite frequently requested the following day, though several right-handed folks made sure to request the original, right-handed version.
2. Dihydrogen Monoxide
Sounds dangerous doesn't it? While not specifically an April Fool's Day prank, I had to include this one.
Dihydrogen monoxide is a fancy name for... water. This hoax can be traced back to the Coalition to Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide, a hoax organization started by Craig Jackson. Among the many things it warned against were dihydrogen monoxide being a major component of acid rain, that it contributes to the greenhouse effect, that it can cause severe burns, and that it is fatal if inhaled. This prank has been replicated several times since- and can always be reproduced with some of your less chemistry inclined friends!
3. LA Highways Down for Repair
In 1987 a LA DJ announced that all LA highways would be shut down for an entire month for repairs starting April 8th. Since LA is absolutely dependent on these highways, most residents who heard (and believed) the DJ were in a state of panic. The station and the California Highway Patrol were flooded with calls for the rest of the day. Understandibly, the Highway Patrol did not think the prank was that funny.
4. Walled In
A video prank- and my favorite office prank of all time!
The moral of all this? Remember what day it is and take everything with a grain of salt and some good humor!

Go Obama!
In light of the recent determination by President Obama that the Defense Against Marriage Act is unconstitutional, I thought I'd post this fun little video I found.

The Final Countdown
It’s that time of years again. No, not the holidays… FINALS WEEK!!! Only ten days until that hellish period marked by excessive amounts of caffeine, poor personal hygiene, and overwhelming anxiety about escaping graduating.
Whoever thought of jamming everything important into one week is an idiot. Really, colleges would be much healthier if we got rid of finals week… and fraternities… and Four Lokos. I’m still waiting for them to ban it here in Maryland. For those of you out there who don’t know what Four Lokos is, observe the horror:
I’ve been dealing with the stress pretty well *knock on wood*. I don’t have class on Fridays, and since I’ve been worried I’m getting sick I took today easier than planned. I stopped by Goodwill to check out their book selection. I was mildly disappointed- there were tons of paperbacks, but almost all of them were Danielle Steel or Harlequin Presents from the ‘90s. I think I’m just spoiled by some of the truly awesome thrift stores I’ve found back home. I did manage to find a few I wanted though.
I also ended up going to Buffalo Wild Wings with one of my friends. I’m a total wings fanatic, and just last week she turned me onto their Blazin’ wings. On the menu the Blazin’ wings come with a disclaimer- “Keep away from eyes, pets, children: The hottest sauce we got.” Later I looked it up on the internet. It’s 200,000-350,000 Scoville units, which is 70 times hotter than a jalapeño pepper. And. They. Are. Amazing. Both times I thought I was going to die, but the endorphine rush is absolutely incredible. Even if you don’t like spicy wings, I would still recommend Buffalo Wild Wings. Their Sweet BBQ and Garlic Parmesan sauces are delicious without the zing.

1. The Heir- Johanna Lindsey
2. Not Another Bad Date- Rachel Gibson
3. Fast Women- Jennifer Crusie
4. Anyone But You- Jennifer Crusie
