Spent evening with Elisa, first chatting over coffee the watching series. Showed her Supernatural's 4x06 Yellow Fever, which she loved. We also discussed the aesthetics of Jensen Ackles and how, yes, he's quite a sight, but also a very all-American-jock sight, which sort of runs against every fiber of our being. It's like my liking Bones' Booth or Vin Diesel: I'll be sitting there, drooling, wondering what the hell is wrong with my hormones. Totally not my type, and yet...guh.

Then we watched True Blood 1x01-03, and she's hooked, after having laughed at the concept. Cliffhangers are made of evil, but make for addictive viewing, and yes, the opening titles are made of complete and utter rocking-out win. Tara scared her a bit at first, but after her Moment of Awesome, Elisa was won over. Rene got instant love thanks to his arm-twisting feats. Throughout the viewing we put on Generic Southern Accents. She thinks mine rules. \o/

And I'll have to get her to watch Reservoir Dogs, 'cause she didn't even know it existed. This must be rectified asap.

About the rest of my day, morning was spent on the internet and the afternoon was spent being hungry in a supermarket and not finding anything appetizing and thus not buying anything but a can of beans, cereal and broccoli.

Issabella Rossallini is AMAZING! I didn't know it was possible for me like like her any more than I already did, but by gosh the bug thing did it.
