Okay, so. My cable was dead all morning, which means that both my TV and internet were on the fritz, and pretty much every resource I had for recapping was out. It's come back (obviously), but I don't know if it'll go out again, so if I don't post the True Blood recap before the new episode tonight (or show up on the intarwebs at all), that's what happened. Also, I may be coming down with my aunt's death cold, I'm not sure. The weird thing is that I was exhausted and just wanted to pass out when I came home last night, but I ended up waking up at three in the morning, unable to do anything but toss, and couldn't get back to sleep until six. So what I'm saying is, if I can't finish before the new ep comes on tonight, I ain't gonna feel guilty cry about it. I love y'all, but I busted my ass with the Recap Triathlon last weekend and I'm not straining like that again. I've got to save my strength for liveblogging the Oscars in February.
(The kind of parties I go to: last night, there was both wassail and purple drank.)
Speaking of the Oscars, let's do Oscar Telecast Spoilers from the Future (2005) for today's flashback. The Illegal Substances Limo Tailgate Party didn't happen, of course, but that was the year we did get Jeremy Irons, Comedy Superstar.
ETA: New Half-Blood Prince trailer!

I love you so, so much. *changes into dry underpants*

Date: 2008-10-26 07:45 pm (UTC)ETA: I would also like to clarify for southerners that purple drank is NOT similar to orange drank, the beverage you were served at Vacation Bible School, field days, and the like. At least I hope not. God, what was wrong with the adults in your life?

btw went to a party on saturday where no less than 4 people had seen Radcakes in Equus and not one of them could stop talking about his nakedness. So now, I watch HBP trailer, and hear the comments about his "performance" echoing in the back of my mind...
...tainted, I tell you. Unclean.

I like this bit:
"3. "Vegetarian" vampires
The imaginary undead boyfriend of hordes of horny teenagers (and quite a few adults who really should know better), Edward Cullen of the Twilight series of young-adult novels is one of a small coven of vampires who have sworn off the human stuff in favor of a less enticing but more ethical option: animal blood. The Cullens' alternative lifestyle—which they jokingly refer to as "vegetarianism" even though that makes absolutely no sense—makes Edward extra-dreamy in the eyes of the books' protagonist, vampire groupie Bella Swan. As an added weird-vampire bonus, the Twilight bloodsuckers aren't completely sun-averse; rather, their skin goes all glittery in the daylight, because teenage girls love glitter. "

I cannot wait for this movie.. Kind of weird though how it says "This Year" at the end.. Unless it's still coming out in 08 for the Brits?
