How did I not know this was coming out?

They're making a movie, released this November, based on Stephen King's "The Mist" short story.

The Mist (2007)

This rocks! I love this short story! And it made a great game setting.

Sookie Stackhouse comes to HBO

Paquin Bites Into True Blood

I heard about this first on my RomSF list this morning. They're renaming the Southern Vampire series True Blood, but here's hoping they can make the series work without changing too much of it.

And for those into vampires, make sure to catch Blood Ties the Tanya Huff detective series (okay, it does have a vampire as one of the main characters, he's also a romance novelist!) when it premieres on Lifetime next month.

A New Sith

Since Star Wars has pretty much been on repeat on the cable channels these days, I kept meaning to link Lou to this, and never remembered. So now I did, and I am.

BTW, it's snowing out! And it's sticking! And it's STILL snowing! Yay!!!

I'm still waiting

So, watching the rain pour down outside my work window, I'm still wondering...

Whither Winter?

I know, I know, north of me is getting socked hard, but down here? We've had nothing. Some snow this morning that made the commute slow, but now it's simply rain rain rain.

*le sigh*

I guess this will be one of those winters where we never get the true Nor'easter that socks it to coastal New England. I'd still love at least an inch that lasted more than half a day, tho.

Though the catapults are the awesome.
