The Vampire Diaries s 3

*Warning, there might be spoilers...*

So, last season, Stefan went "rouge" in order to save his brother. And Klaus has him bloodthirstier than ever. And I must say I'm actually liking this darker, more brooding Stefan than the goodie two shoes from previous seasons. I have always been partial to him over Damon even if I'm very fond of Ian Somerhalder. Damon has always been too bad for me.

I've recently started to read through the books by L.J Smith of which the tv-series is based on, hoping it would be as epic as Twilight or The Southern Vampire mysteries. You know that the books are so much better than the series. But so far I'm not that impressed. Perhaps if I had read it before I watched it, but I really do think the tv-series is better so far. I've just started book two, The Struggle, and I guess it's getting better. I knew from the start that it would be very different from the tv-series and I was able to see them as two separate things, and therefore enjoy it more, I think.

I'm just surprise just how much they have changed, I guess to get better tv. I mean Jeremy is 4 year old Margaret, Caroline and Elena aren't even friends, Elena is blonde and where has Meredith gone?

But, all and all, when considering the tv-series and the books as two totally different things, that might in some ways be similar, I think the books are pretty good. :) But I still like the tv-series better and am looking forward to see the rest of this season. Can't wait to see if Stefan will chose Elena again and be "good" or if Elena actually realises that Damon is quite the catch after all... :P

Never Underestimate the Power of a White Shirt

Seriously, is there anything sexier than a man in a spanking white shirt? If you don't agree, let me give you a few examples:

Rupert Penry-Jones (Persuasion for example)

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (The Tudors)

Jensen Ackles (Supernatural)

Paul Wesely (Vampire Diaries)

My favourite, Mr Darcy (Colin Firth) in a slightly wet shirt :P

 Changed your mind yet?

Twilight

I have always had a fascination for vampires. They are always very, very good looking, immortal and despite their cool skin, very hot. I don't really know when I started to be fascinated, or what brought it on, but suddenly I crave them. Everything about them. Could they be real? Is there vampires walking among us? Probably not, but it is a bewildering thought, nonetheless.

I know that people talked about Interview with a vampire quite early, well, I was 14 when it came. But I didn't see it till later. I don't know if it was my fear of the dark and unknown that kept me away from it for a while. It is a great movie which I haven't seen for a while actually, I believe it is time to see it soon. But I did enjoy Dracula before that.

Now the vampires are very popular again. Twilight, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries have seen to that. I really wasn't that impressed with Twilight the movie. It was too slow for my taste, sure there were vampires, but I really didn't see why everyone fell in love with Robert Pattinson as Edward. I really don't find Robert that attractive. After reading the book, however, I can see the fascination for Edward. The novel is so much better. So, I'm hooked. Am going to see New Moon as soon as possible. I already have a date too. :P Perhaps I will change my mind about Pattinson as Edward.

Maybe just the fact that he is portraying a vampire does the trick. ;) It is possible. But I do think the books is much better than the movie anyway. So much get lost in the adaptation. Very few adaptations can do the original justice, in my opinion.
