Rain, Memorials, and Vampires

We are finally getting some rain, after weeks and weeks of drought. Only bad thing about that is, when it starts, it does not know when to stop.


Today is Michael Jackson's memorial. I wish I could be home to watch it, but I am doing my duty and I'm blogging from work. Shhhh!

My followers have grown to 85. Wow! My goal is 100, so if you are lurking, click my follow button...just do it! If you are new here, go ahead...what the heck?

I've been doing something that I said I would not do. But don't we all do that eventually in our lives? Facebook has sucked me in. I have a farm on Farmville, FarmTown and a garden in Fairyland. I even sucked my sweetie into the madness along with some other friends on Facebook. It's fun, you should try it if you have not already. You know you want to.


True Blood (ya know, that show on HBO that everyone is watching or talking about?) has sucked me in. Pun intended... {evil grin} I finished the first season last night courtesy of Netflix. I really like it, but just so you know....none, and I mean NONE of those so-called Louisiana people have the right accent. That was pretty much the only qualm I had with the show....how they choose to portray us. We are not walking around chasing vampires around here, either. Or drinking vampire blood to get drunk. Just give me some grape or strawberry Smirnoff and I am good to go.

I'm trying to get a following, too. I've only hit 42 though! I'm thinking I may try to reel some in with a give away or two. ha ha ;)

I set the dvr to record the MJ stuff. Only thing that sucks about that is I totally forgot about my man Rob being on Ellen today! Grrr.

I'm getting ready to watch the MJ memorial right now.

I just added True Blood season one to my Netflix queue. I'll let you know what I think of it when I finish up with it.

Congrats on all your followers. I thought I was already one, but I just logged in and hit follow just in case I'm not. :)

I really didn't like True Blood when I first saw it (Sookie's character really, really bothered me), but it grew on me.

Have a great day!

GF has tried but failed to get me sucked into facebook, True Blood, and a number of other things. Yes I have a FB page but only play the free games. Watched TB but I find it boring, much like most stuff GF is watching on HBO. Nothing wrong with any of it but it isn't my cup of tea. And people think I'm crazy cuz I can't stand tea either.

My husband and I were just talking about True Blood! I haven't seen the show, but have read the books it is based on... I should rent the first season.

Scrappy Girl said...

I signed up to follow ya...visiting from SITS...great blog!

jmt said...

I have a FB friend that said she was hooked in True Blood and I had no idea what she was talking about. Thanks for the clarification. I follow you, but I might do it anon??? I'll check and change that. I choose anon at first...but I am here for every post, so I suppose I'm not quite an anon lurker, am I? LOL

Aim said...

facebook has Fairyland?!? i need to check that out. I haven't gotten into True BLood yet, but I'm thinking about reading the books. hmmm....

lynn said...

Ya, thanks for sucking me in to Farmville!! I tried Fairyland when you sent the invite but I couldn't get it to work for some reason.

Guess I need to put True Blood on my list! I'm 1/3 way into the second book now too so need to figure out how to watch the second season too.

kel said...

One more follower! cute blog!!

I can't watch True Blood! The blood makes me want to pass out!

Lynn said...

OK, I became follower # 90.
I hate it when people get the accents wrong!

Susie said...

I DVR's the memorial and we are sitting down to watch it right now!!

April said...

Hi Amy!
I am one of your followers already, as you might know! I watched the Michael Jackson memorial service and it was pretty moving, especially when Lionel Richie sang.

MediMonsters said...

You know I'm already a follower!!

You and a dozen other FBers tried to recruit me for the farm thingies...but I am resisting. I keep telling myself I don't have time...I don't have time!!

Yay! Another TB fan. LOVE LOVE LOVE the show. Both my husband and I watch every Sunday night. We have DirectTV so it shows over and over all week. And yeah, it sucks that most shows, when set in La, tries to portray us as backwoods rednecks with this horrendous accent. We are not really like that Y'ALL!! LOL But I think the actor playing Jason is doing a good job on accents considering he has a very strong Australian accent.

Talk to you later!

Keely said...

I lost faith in the FB games when they axed scrabble. Sigh.

Kimberly Wright said...

I haven't played any FB games in awhile.

I followed you. You are almost to a 100.

I watched the memorial and at the end when his daughter spoke, I bawled like a big ole baby.
