slowly back into the fray

My plans for this summer were to read a lot of books and watch a lot of movies. I have managed to do neither - but that's alright. Except for my miserable job hunt, it has been a good summer so far. Lots of late night runs, hanging out with friends and enjoying the warm weather. My garden has been producing veggies at a ridiculous rate and my uncle's blueberry patch has kept me in fresh berries for the last few weeks. 

What I've been watching: 

True Blood is back. John, you're welcome to come over and watch it anytime. It just keeps getting more and more campy and ridiculous every season. Last episode Eric got drunk off the blood of Sookie's fairy Godmother, Jason was turned into a Werepanther and raped by the female panthers, Arlene's baby is almost certainly possessed by her dead husband and a local witch is on her way to becoming a successful necromancer. 

I also just watched the first season of The Walking Dead. I thought it would be the perfect summer action show, something that I could lay in front of a fan and watch while escaping the heat. It turns out that it is a lot better than I thought - less about the zombies than about the human relationships. But the zombie stuff is cool too. 

There are some great Joseph Campbell documentaries on NWI that I have been working through as well. 

I am dog sitting for the next 11 days, which means I'll probably do a lot of movie/tv watching. Uncle Boonmee and Black Death are on the list. If I can find a download for season 4 of The Twilight Zone, I'll start watching it with everyone. I failed at the 30's things but I do love The Twilight Zone. Give me some other NWI suggestions for these late nights up here with the dog. 

By the way, I was forced to watch the first few Harry Potter movies with a friend when they were first coming out. They were alright, I guess.
