  TRUE BLOOD   After watching the first 15 or so minutes, my initial thought was WTF?  I know Alan Ball said he was traveling away from the books, okay that’s fine and I understand imaginative creativity.  But he took the books and ran sideways with them.  True Blood is about as far away from the books as humanly possible.  This show is so sideways I can’t tell if it’s going in the right crocked direction.  So now that I have wrapped my head around the first couple of episodes, and I think I have a general idea of the direction he is going (vague direction), let’s talk about what’s happened so far in the story.   Well it truly is great to be back in Bon Temps, although the beginning scenes take place in fairy land.  From Sookie and Barry, to Sookie’s grandfather, everyone seemed to be in Fairy.  How’d they get there?  That answer is still quite unclear, but from the look of things once entered, no one leaves this time warp.  And as usual, things are not always what they seem and those sweet innocent looking fairies turn out to be nothing more than supernatural crazies out to capture Sookie.  So how does our lovely MC escape her impending doom this time?  Her grandfather pushed her off a cliff of course.  And alas he did not survive but was however successful in saving his sweet granddaughter and passing on a pocket watch to her brother Jason.  Tear.

Featured Post: Interview Sistah’s En Review

Today is a very special day here at Mother/Gamer/Writer because we have a new featured post that I am sure you don’t want to miss.  For those of you who don’t know me, I am a TV, video game, book loving, podcasting junkie.  Rather than being addicted to music and iTunes, I am constantly filling my 16 GB iPod with podcasts (nutty, I know).  And through the wonderfully mischievous world of True Blood, I stumbled upon two of the best podcasting women in the business.  They are the talented women behind a series of podcasts called: Sistah’s En Review or you might know them as Sistah Speak (catchy title huh?). These ladies are pros at telling-it-like-it-is and drawing in an audience with their ability to keep it real, funny, and entertaining.  It’s a fist full of hilarity (and I have told them that several times on Twitter.  Swoon).  I can recall several days at my office where I have laughed so loudly my co-workers were giving me the stinky sideways glance.  You know the one that says “nothing is that funny’ and “I wonder what she’s up to”.  Ha, if only they knew.  Lucky for me I had the pleasure of picking the brains of Sistah J and Sistah K.  As usual, the two do not disappoint!   Enjoy the interview!
