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!

We apparently had Purple Drank at my Halloween party I went to last year, and I didn't realize it.

I completely missed that Oscar post! How the hell did I manage that?

9:15. Sophie Okonedo and Catalina Sandino Moreno have been out in the parking lot sitting on the back of someone's limo getting high for the last hour and a half, because they know the score, man. It turns out that Santana has a pretty good stash.

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

Ooo new trailer! July is just around the corner, you guys! lol

Ugh I still can't believe I have to wait 9 more months for this.

Aww, they took the trailer down. :( At least I got to see it before they did, and it is fantastic. That ending is hilarious, and is that Bellatrix dancing in front of a burning building? Stupid WB for pushing it back?

Regarding purple drank, I can't stand cough syrup at the best of times. It is beyond me why anyone would consider this worth drinking. It sounds truly awful.

From: [identity profile] cleolinda.livejournal.com
Yeah, it pretty much was. We all had some mostly to say that we did.

(My understanding is that it originated as a homemade way to come down after doing upper-type drugs--that's why cough syrup is involved, to slow you down.)

From: [identity profile] particle-person.livejournal.com
Yeah, I can understand that. (Now that I think about it, saying, "I've drunk Purple Drank and seen Prince perform in a lightning storm," is one of those things you want to be able to tell your grandkids.)

I'm much more interested in trying Wassail now, though, because that sounds actually good. I love cider and cider drinks.

A "friend" of mine decided to grip and sip Friday night and then the "friend" had to slip into my environmental science lab Saturday morning all, "Oh, what? I've been here all day." The hair plastered to the face, tights as pants look really completes the illusion, I found.

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?

ZOMG I love the new trailer! It is awesome! It makes me more pissed about July!

Also, I have not stopped laughing at the last scene since the trailer ended. DanRad's comic timing on that one is awesome.

If you're going be live-blogging the Oscars, I might actually watch them for the first time in...um...however long it's been since Brokeback Mountain was robbed.

Also: I wasn't gonna watch the HBP trailer...but I did, and I am oh so glad about it. I might actually pay to see this movie.

Well, I usually do (http://cleoland.pbwiki.com/Oscars#OccupationGirlcoverage)--if for some reason I can't do it live, I recap it the day after.

Aww! Don't feel guilty! We're just happy when they come, but we don't want you to think we're all pushy about it!

Purple drank? Or Purple Drank? http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkintheroad/Drankcan.jpg

The former, which was why I was careful not to capitalize it. ; )

Now, I don't want to spoil you for anything, because this comes from the third Sookie book (Club Dead). I just think you might love this quote... While not spoilery on anything plot-wise, it does rather confirm some of your speculations about a certain bar owner.

Want the quote?

Noooooo! I tell you what, come back after we find out more and tell me what it is. It might not spoil anything, or... it might. I don't really know what I do and don't want spoiled until it's too late, generally ("I didn't want to know that, noooo!").

OK! I thought I would be cautious and check first, rather than blurting it out.

OMG, it is so awesome. You'll crack up.

purple what now?

Is that like the Robo-kids in the midwest? Part of that whole "if you drink a whole bottle of robitussin, you will hallucinate" theory?

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.

TOTALLY UNRELATED

yet relevant to your interests:

23 Unusual Vampire Variations (http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/i_vant_to_suck_your_broccoli_23)

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. "

"But I am the chosen one."

lmao.

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?
