Loving True Blood in Dallas : "Dead in the Family" Word of the Day Contest Day #1
True Blood Recipe : Strawberry Gazpacho
Will you let me seduce you with... True Blood? No need to be a vampire, no need to be pale and with night preferences. Just follow my rules here and you will have the fuel you need to live... forever... or maybe not ;D.
Now that there's such a renewed interest for Vampires... I must addmit I have some kind of weakness with the idea of immortality, sun alergy and blood drinking! Let's imagine we had the chance to choose... would you take that path? I wonder if I would... well, maybe if Bill Compton was the one...
The only problem Vampires have is that they don't eat!!! What kind of foodie would I be if I chose to be one of them? That's why this red potion is neither a True Blood beverage nor a Bloody Mary... it's only a harmless Strawberry Gazpacho!

Eat well and remember to close your bedroom windows at night... one never knows!
Christopher Moore's vampire spoofs a welcome respite
The Countess Abigail Von Normal is: a) Emergency Backup Mistress of the Bay Area Dark; b) A Gothic hottie consumed by the banal hopelessness of existence; c) Not perky, but dark, complex and très mysterious; d) All the above, and possibly more.
And, of course, the correct response would be d).
Abby Normal, as our heroine refers to herself, is indeed much more. Abby, in the midst of breaking in red-vinyl Shankenstein platform boots, and her love-monkey, Foo-Dog, are all that stand in the way of a vampire cat called Chet who seeks to immerse swinging San Francisco into a blood orgy. Also in the mix are the adorable vampire love-unit of Jody, formerly in the insurance biz, and Tommy, a onetime Safeway stockboy with dreams of becoming a writer.
Bite Me: a Love Story is the third and apparently last in the series of Moore's vampire spoofs that began with Bloodsucking Fiends: a Love Story (1995) and You Suck: a Love Story (2007). Again, Moore proves he has few rivals on the humour-opus front with this high-larious romp that just might have driven the final nail into old Nosferatu's coffin.

The vampires among us from Austin Weekly
Author Charlaine Harris thrills readers with an introduction to the supernatural world with the first in the Sookie Stackhouse series Dead Until Dark. The book introduces Sookie Stackhouse, a native to Bon Temps, La., where the supernatural is commonplace and gossip is a daily staple. The townspeople gather daily in local hub Merlotte's, the local bar owned by none other than a sup (short for supernatural). Harris develops an enthralling story in an old-fashioned area where the people get an update into modern day events through Sookie's new social life. Sookie, a waitress, is no stranger to the supernatural. Readers learn Sookie is telepathic and early in the book is considered crazy because of her ability. Sookie's difference gives her a clean perspective on vampires who have only recently come out to humans in the fictional town. Bon Temps is almost the last place to get a vampire visitor in the form of a mysterious man, Bill, who arrives in Bon Temps and sits at Sookie's table expecting service. Sookie not only introduces herself to the vampire but spends her first two encounters protecting him from locals who want to drain him for valuable vampire blood.

Ausiello: Their search for Bill takes them to a werewolf bar in Jackson, Mississippi — “hence the howling wolf silhouetted behind them,” notes exec producer Alan Ball. “They’re doing a little amateur sleuthing and they’re sort of surprised by what they find.” My guess? This is what they find.

Fans at University of Houston: Vampires ready for third season
From the University of Houston "Daily Cougar" which is the alma mater of a human that is close to Dallas !
HBO likes to tease our large, fang-banger hearts, and with the premiere of the third season of True Blood creeping up on June 13, anticipation is steadily growing monstrous.
The countdown began with the release of the 12-week promo posters two weeks ago, which will be released once a week until the day of the premiere. HBO’s Web site has been showing 22-second “Waiting Sucks: In Production,” clips that will leave any fan hungry for more True Blood. The clips are also showcased after every Sunday night episode recap of season two currently playing on HBO.
And if all the promotional stunts are not enough to satisfy fans’ thirst, the latest installment of the clips features Jason Stackhouse getting his groove on in the woods with a fresh face. That begs the question, what is in store for the series this season?

Ethical Vampires, Part II
Part I of this essay explains how the vampires of our historical moment–exemplified in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight and Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels–have had a crisis of conscience and changed their ways. They’ve become more human (wearing Grateful Dead t-shirts, driving Mustangs) and more humane (not murdering people to feed on them). This reformation means different things for Harris and Meyer. Harris uses it to explore the dark, vampiric side of human nature, while Meyer, mistakenly, thinks that she can vanquish the vampiric altogether (she can’t and doesn’t, though possibly she doesn’t realize this).
