As if the Twilight phenomenon hadn't brought about enough lulz already, there is an amazing article about "real" vampires in today's Washington Post.

VAMPIRES CAN FEED ON YOUR POSITIVE PSYCHIC ENERGY. AT APPLEBEE'S!!

The writer, Monica Hesse, seemed to have a lot of fun writing the story. (Just as I had lots of fun reading it.) Here's her problem with vampires being normal people, just with a strange "energy deficiency":
It's all so borrring, so very borrring. Deep down, deep way down, we don't really want vampires to be just like us, because we are pretty lame.

While we're on the subject of vampires and lameness... I need your opinion, flist. True Blood: lame or not? As cracktastically awesome as Moonlight? Or just sadly lacking in Jason Dohring being hot and Sophia Myles being a BAMF?
Yes, I've finally finished reading Breaking Dawn, only six weeks after the rest of the world. But, hey, it's not like I'm involved in that fandom (it's crazy!), so whatevs. Breaking Dawn was a lot of things--lulzy, melodramatic, cracktastic, silly, eye-roll inducing--but it was one thing above all: waaaay too long! I honestly enjoyed the third part of the book, as ridiculous as it sometimes--er, often--was, but first I had to slog over 350 pages to get there. Not good.

Read on as I dazzle you with spoilers. )

And hooray for a reason to use my Josef icon! How sad that Moonlight was cancelled. Sure, it wasn't quite actually good... but it always had something unexpected. Plus, Mick and Beth were both kick-ass and made an awesome vampire/human couple, and Josef was really hot and snarky. Good times. There should be a Twilight/Moonlight crossover book/movie/tv special. I don't care, but I would read/watch it because I have no shame. Nor, apparently, taste.
I just found out that CBS decided not to renew Moonlight, my favorite cracky vampire detective romance show, for another season. Sure, I never could figure out what a vampire show was doing on CBS, but I like it dammit! :(

There are several official media outlets that post videos on YouTube. Often, they're short clips of shows. Someone at CBS, however, actually gets YouTube, as evidenced by the videos for the show Moonlight. There are the usual clips from the show, but along with those there are recaps, added scenes, and even Mick/Beth music videos. (Yes, they've actually posted officially sanctioned shippy music videos. I love it!) And in keeping with the random spirit of YouTube, my personal favorite:


Oh, Jason Dohring. <3
