We are off to North Carolina for a week, so yesterday (after an early golf game) was concentrated office work.  Hence, no blog.

I also took a look at the latest episode of TrueBlood on HBO.  A friend recommended the show and it's been pretty enjoyable so far.  Lots of cable eye-candy and an interesting story about vampires.  In this world, synthetic blood that can sustain the vampires has been developed, so they no longer need to feed on humans and can come out of the closet.

The vampires are a clear metaphor for gays...there's even a sign in the credits that reads "God hates Fangs" like the familiar (and repulsive) God Hates Fags signs courtesy of the small-brained Fred Phelps.

Before I digress...the show is worth checking out if you have HBO.  The first two episodes were a bit uneven but I think they've hit their stride in the third.  And by the third episode, the viewer is familiar enough with the characters and various supernatural plot points that she spends less time going "huh?" and hitting the rewind button.

I'll be blogging from NC.  Maybe even will get some political research done!

Now, to pack.
