But some must think so. I mean, the National Weather Service releases a statement: LEAVE NOW OR DIE!
And still you've got "dudes" walking around the Galveston levee wall with blow up rings in the shape of ducks?
At what point in life do you shrug and go, "UhhIdoncare! I'm stayin! It'll be great!" Mmmhmm. Good luck with the 25 foot wall of water.
Have you read any of the Charlaine Harris books... Sukie Stackhouse collection? Last Sunday HBO turned them into TRUEBLOOD the series. I thoroughly enjoyed the books. The writing style is not intelligent: and that is the beauty of it. Saywha? Well, it's like this...The stories take place in a small rural town in north Louisiana where most of the characters (no college grad sissies here folks!) find themselves just getting by in the southern backwoods! Throw in some blood suckers and the fun and hi jinx begins! It really is a clever, down home place to visit in your moments of leisure.
BUT... I am disappointed in the HBO show. MOST of the southern accents are over done and a BIG distraction And I know what I'm writing about because I live in Shreveport Louisiana! Some of the characters are such concentrated versions of themselves that I can only take a little at a time. Ouch, that hurts.
AND (the biggest disappointment of them all) the lead love for Sukie, Vampire
Bill, is atrocious! (the actor is handsome but made up to look like trailer trash!) In the book, Bill, is a refined gentleman from the past with a silent grace that (along with his polished good looks) make quite an impression on Sukie.So why do this...
when this fits and is so much more pleasant? Fix it TrueBlood peoples! Please! I want to like this series. There is so little on the telly that I enjoy.
