Blade Trinity and Desperate Housewives...

What does a movie about Vampires and a television show about Desperate Housewives have in common? Well, in both shows there are a lot of bloodsuckers....

Blade Trinity kicked major butt. I loved it. I was thoroughly entertained the whole time. Explosions, Sword Play, Spontaneously Combustible Vampires- Hot Women, Ripped Abs, this show had something for everyone!

The only part I didn't really get in Blade Trinity was this Blind Doctor using a Braille keyboard- I mean, even if you can input the data how do you see the screen to see if you make any errors? I mean the screen had these really cool pictures on it- how does she see them? Well, it is the movies, I thought the Braille keyboard was cool.

Another great party about this third installment of Blade was that it wasn't as gory as part II. At no point was I grossed out to the point that I had to turn away from the screen and I gross out pretty easily- like when I was eating my popcorn during this movie, I crunched down on something that apparently was not popcorn - it was the weirdest flavor ever- and so it was probably a bug of some sort- UGH! You just never know- it could have just been a piece of rotten popcorn- like when you would get a rotten peanut in your Cracker Jacks... at least you thought it was a rotten peanut...

Desperate Housewives

Last nights episode included but not limited to:

• Mrs. Huber being buried and no one knows that she has been murdered!!
• Susan found out that Gabrielle(Eva Longoria) is having an affair with the lawn boy.
• The lawn boys mother thinks it is Susan (Teri Hatcher).
• Gabrielle confessed to the lawn boys' mother that it was her having the affair with her son, not Susan.
• Gabrielle almost confesses to her husband Carlos that she is having an affair- but she doesn't and then the police show up at the end of the episode and Gabrielle thinks that the lawn boys mother has turned her in for having an affair with her under-aged son - the tension builds and then they arrest CARLOS!!! NOT GABRIELLE!! For some reason you are elated! Gabrielle can't go to jail, the show would just not be the same without her.

I don't know exactly what it is about this show that makes it so enthralling- is it the perfect people with the not so perfect lives? Is it the story line, the drama, the deception, the murder, the nanny stealing, the marijuana?

Whatever it is, I am hooked, it is my weekly fix, like a crack addict I keep coming back for more, but unlike crack - with every new episode I get a fresh new high.

The Rest of the Weekend sans TV and Movies...

Friday night and Saturday morning was spent at my friend Girja's house painting. She has a new house- a very nice house in Plano, but it needed a little color, so we painted the wall behind her bed a rusty brown, and the wall in the upstairs tv nook a warm canyon rose. We tried a faux finish in the bedroom but it just didn't work due to the texture on the walls.

Saturday night I stayed home and cleaned house and made lasagna for a party that I was supposed to have Sunday night- the party got canceled because a few friends got ill, but I still had a mini party by myself with all that lasagna.

On an up note- the house is spotless, that is the best thing about inviting guests over- especially female guests- it forces you to clean your house, when you invite just the guys over you just make sure that your underwear is picked up the dishes are at least piled in the sink, but when the ladies are coming over, you actually clean the bathroom with clorox bleach and dust the furniture and the light fixtures, and the TV cabinet. You light good smelling candles, and if you are me, you make a batch of Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookies that will knock everyone's socks right off- because you have a thing for sockless feet.

Well, now you are up-to-date with me, what's new with you?
