Moonlight

For all of the fan's of the twilight series of books, there is a show on CBS on Friday nights called Moonlight that can help the time pass until the next book comes out. I wasn't sure I wanted to watch the show about a Vampire detective after loving the way vampires were portrayed in the books. I set the DVR and decided that they would at least be there in case I caved and actually watched. The show has been on for 2 weeks now and I just watched both episodes today. I must say that if you can get past a few of the changes in vampire mythology that were created in the Twilight series the show is quite good. At first I didn't think that the vampire Nick was that attractive, but he has the tendency to grow on you quite fast and the "Bella" character (I can't think of her name in the show) looks like Kate Winslet. It has the human Bella ingredient and the super hot, didn't take too long to figure out your a vampire Edward, a more twisted "family" for Nick than Edward and Nick gets blood from his friend at the morgue to feed on while the main guy that is Nicks kinda family prefers the good ole fashion form of feeding, humans. I haven't been able to figure out if the "food" dies or not because the 2nd episode had Nick killing a bad guy with fangs to the neck, but got interrupted and the guy didn't turn into a vampire and didn't die. In the books a bite would immediately put poison into the blood and turn you into a vampire if the job wasn't finished. So, like I said, don't get too caught up in the details and take it for what it's worth. Total hot vampire guy solving crime and protecting "Bella" a lot. He also has a lot of the same qualities that Edward had, He can hear really well, he jumps and runs super fast, He can see things (Edward couldn't), he has the conflicting feelings of being a monster that Edward had and his personality if very similar. So, all in all, I think I am really diggin' the show. Who knows, maybe being cooped up in the house and spending a lot of time on the couch watching tv has tainted my view of the show especially in comparison to the books. If anyone else has seen the show I would love to know if I am way off base and if you haven't seen it yet, see it! :)
BTW Nate saw that there was now a show about vampires and just rolled his eyes at me. :)

ok total side note, Ethan is sitting on the desk next to me looking at the screen saver slide show on Nate's computer and there was a picture of me when I got my braces off and he said, " there's a picture of mommy with gum in her mouth when she talked normal." He is making comments on each picture as they come up and another one of me just came up and he said "mommy talking normal." Jordyn will sometime clench her teeth when she talkes to me and I'm trying to decide if she is making fun of me or trying out my form of communication. Out of the mouths of babes.............
