Sookie is Awesome

I started watching True Blood during the first season of the HBO show. I have been addicted ever since. The show just recently started its 3rd season and I am even more hooked now than ever before. The story line is one of the most unique and creative on tv and each week something new happens that you never saw coming. Every character on the show is played perfectly by the amazing cast. Over the last two seasons, there have been many additions to the original cast, and not one of them has been disappointing. Every new person they have brought in has blended in perfectly with the original group of actors and have all brought something unique and great to the series.

Watching True Blood on Oregon satellite tv has become a weekly event. I have such a great group of friends that are all into the show just as much as me, so there’s always someone willing to come over and watch the latest episode. Sookie is by far my favorite character on the drama. Anna Paquin plays the character perfectly. The character of Sookie is such a strong and independent female character. So many other shows present the lead female character as a weak, love struck girl, but not True Blood. Her strength is just another great aspect of the show.

Barbie Dress Up Games

There is no doubt that Barbie games are among the most popular and in demand games of today. If you are one of those Barbie fans, you will agree with me that Barbie is well known and the most popular doll ever created. Barbie dolls took the offline world by storm. This is why Barbie dress up games, (an online arcade game), are created. Creators of Barbie, as well as the devoted fans, want Barbie doll to be playable online as well.

If you have already played other dress up games, you may find that Barbie games are the same as them since you get the opportunity to select the garments and accessories for her. Not only that – playing Barbie dress up games – but it also includes applying make up, giving her jewelry and even an over all makeover, not only for Barbie but for her house as well.

Younger girls or teenagers would all like to become extremely trendy or so-called “fashionistas” when they grow up. Playing Barbie dress up games are one of the many ways that can help them to improve their sense of style and creativity. What they have to do here is to use their talents in mixing and matching clothes so that Barbie will look even better.

Understanding this type of game is very basic and straightforward. Since this game is targeted to the young ones, the instruction in playing and the how-to’s of this kind of game are very easy to follow.

Barbie dress up games will bring out the look that you have in mind for your Barbie doll. In this type of game, you will really act like a true fashion stylist as you are in control of the game as you radically change the style and the appearance of the popular personality.

Truly, Barbie games may improve the creativeness of a fashion style guru wannabee.

Late for Lost

My favorite con man - Josh Holloway - Lost Ok, so I waited until the very last minute to start watching Lost, but I’m slow that way sometimes. Besides, I like it better when I don’t have to wait a week to see what happens next. And with this show, I’d lose my ever-lovin’ MIND if I had to wait that long!

To be honest, I don’t watch much prime time television. The last television show I got interested in was House. And it just drove me crazy having to wait a week, or possibly a month or more between episodes, so I stopped watching it, (though I do sometimes catch-up on it whenever Bravo has one of its House marathons). Yes, I know. Patience is a virtue…yadda, yadda, yadda. I’d just rather wait until there are at least two or three seasons of a show, so I can watch episodes at Hulu at my own leisure.  That way, if I want to stay up till 5am watching Lost episodes, (which I did last night), then I can. Remember the “good ole days” when we were forced to wait? Wasn’t that fun? Thank the gods for the interwebs, (and websites like Hulu).

If you’re like me and never watched Lost, you should go to Hulu and give it a go. It is one of those shows where you really get to know the characters. You get glimpses into each one’s past, and then watch how they evolve and adapt to life on the island. Some of them change drastically over time. It’s fascinating.

As you probably guessed, my favorite character is that of Sawyer, (played by Josh Holloway, pictured above). Yeah, he’s a bad boy, but what can I say? Maybe it’s because he’s Southern, like me, and I can relate to that aspect of him. I dunno. There’s just something about him I like. Remember, though, at present, I am only a couple of episodes into season 2, so my feelings could change later on. We’ll just have to wait and see. Who is your favorite Lost character and why?

If you like action and suspense, Lost is definitely the show for you. It seems something terrible happens to one of the characters in each episode. It never, ever gets boring. In fact, you will probably need to make sure you’ve taken your blood pressure meds before watching. I am always “pumped” from start to finish. So…um…be careful if you have issues there. Ha! No, I’m just kidding (maybe). I’ve never heard of anyone having a heart attack or stroking out while watching Lost, (though, I guess it could  have happened…I dunno).

Since I’m only a few seasons in, last night, I thought I may have made a huge mistake by watching the Lost series finale, because I was totally LOST! But, then I found out afterwards (via Twitter) that even people who had watched the entire 6 seasons all the way through were asking, “WTF?” So I don’t feel like I ruined it for myself. Why did I watch it? Because I knew there would be spoilers all over the internet, TV, etc. for the next month (or three) and I’d never be able to escape it. So, I watched it with my husband, Charlie, who, by the way, had never seen a single episode! Afterwards, he posted this about it on his Facebook wall:

I’m officially lost! Probably, shouldn’t have picked the series finale as a starting place! LoL, I’ve decided I’m seriously going to watch the show in reverse! Instead of putting pieces together, I’m going to scatter them about!

LOL! Bless his heart.

In conclusion, I would like to say that when I’m done with Lost, I’ll be starting on Roswell, then Fringe, and then Carnivale. If you have any suggestions for me, please leave your feedback in the comments section below. I’d love to hear what you’re watching!

Rhonda Lillie and Paul Hawkins, living thousands of miles apart in real life, exchanged “virtual vows” at Second Life before ever meeting in person.

I can really relate to this, and my heart goes out to Rhonda and Paul. I met my husband, Charlie online, but we were lucky — we only lived 50 miles apart. These two lovebirds live thousands of miles from each other in different parts of the world.

I can only imagine how wonderful it must be to interact with your faraway loved one at a place like Second Life. Charlie and I had no idea the place existed back when we met. I’m sure it would have helped to bridge the distance at times. I hope that one day Rhonda and Paul will be able to tie the knot for real. Congratulations to them for taking this step.

Second Life Is Awesome!

Magdalena Skizm at Caledon

For years, my daughter has been a member of a few of the virtual worlds out there, including IMVU; There.com, (which recently closed, much to her chagrin); and Second Life. She has hounded me for years to try them, but unfortunately, my old computer couldn’t handle the software.

That was then…this is now. I have a new computer with better hardware and she finally talked me into becoming a member of Second Life about 2 weeks ago, and I have been so hooked on it, I can barely think of anything else! I even DREAM ABOUT IT! Aaaahhh! But I am having so much FUN!

I’m still trying to learn the basics, but each day I learn a little more and pretty soon, I think I’ll be ready to do some heavy-duty role playing.

It has been ages since my days of role playing, (mainly Dungeons & Dragons), and things have really come a long way. Oh how I wish we’d had something like Second Life to use during our campaigns back then. It would have been so cool.

If you are on Second Life and would like to hang out with me, my avatar’s name is Magdalena Skizm. Would be so nice to have someone to explore with until I can get the hang of things, so…ADD ME PLEASE!
