Always Anti-fascist!

There is a blogger at dkos with whom I'm about to get mad. Not for any reason affecting party unity...it's because he keeps calling the Repub nominee "McNutty". To my mind, there's only one cheating dog out there named McNutty, and he only has two places when he's not behind on child support.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I added HBO in anticipation of True Blood.

Cash is me.

So.

Anybody got anything stirring or insightful?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I watched Entourage ! Does that count?

I have to watch them when they appear On Demand since DH was watching football. I'm sure I'll have some thoughts.

I've heard Entourage was awesome but I haven't seen it yet, either.

Really? I had heard most people didn't like the premiere. The two reviews I read weren't very positive. I thought it was fine but more of a transition episode, setting up the season.

Cash, were you already reading the books, or is this a new 'verse for you?

It's new to me, Epic. I don't have as much time for reading as I'd like, unfortunately and fiction gets short shrift from me.

Ooo, I'll be intrigued to see your reaction, then. It's very close to the book (at least so far) so I can't really gauge my own reactions because it was really just making a story I already know 3-D.

And seriously, just you and me? That can't be right in this crowd.

We don't have cable. And while Pete was all set for us to get cable (so I could watch True Blood and he could watch BSG), I was ... wary. I'm kinda so-so on the books, and did not have high hopes for what a vampire show would be.

So! Tell me about the premier! What did you think?
