When running around naked in the early morning doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
When you are afraid that if you make Jell-O again you'll just be another crazy white person with an unhealthy obsession.
When you try fitting in at a new job you're afraid you're just trying to mainstream and we all know that's for pussies.
When you want your husband to grow his hair out and start wearing henley shirts.
When you rewind Eric's bathtub scene to see the rumored full monty.
From Flavia today :
When you walk by an audio book “Learn to Speak Swedish” and you actually consider borrowing that from the library. But then you shake your head and realize you really need to put down that remote and get out more.

Best And Worst TV Couples: Sookie and Bill
In honor of Valentine's Day, we declare our love for True Blood's Sookie and Bill.
So to celebrate our wishy-washy feelings about Cupid's big day, we picked five TV relationships from current shows that seem destined for success (or that are, in the words of Flavor Flav, "romantical"), and five that give love a bad name.
Sookie and Bill, True Blood
From the first time they met, you could sense the connection between telepathic Sookie and vampire Bill. Yes, he's robbing the cradle, he bites Sookie during sex and isn't readily available for brunch dates. But he also regularly saves her life and appears to be pretty good in the sack. This is the ultimate bad boy/good girl coupling.

Jesus Christ, Shepherd of Judea Part I : Sookie and faith
"Jesus Christ, Shepherd of Judea " , that's a very familiar exclamation to readers of the Sookie Stackhouse books and I decided to take a closer look at churches, religion, the Bible and prayer in the Sookie books.
Sookie is most definitely a Christian believer and regularly attends the Methodist church in Bon Temps. She frequently talks of her faith , the Bible, prayer and attending church. She enjoys going to church, even if she doesn't always listen to the sermon but spend the time quietly reflecting.
She and Gran are regular members of the Methodist Church and she continues to attend alone after Gran dies and when her work schedule permits. In future posts, we'll look at mentions of the Bible, prayer and more.
What have I missed, are there other churches mentioned that I missed ?
The various churches mentioned in the books, their minister's and any known members are:
