I have decided to use my Livejournal as I should. I will no longer refrain from posting about all the obscure pop culture topics that I randomly notice or come up with. Well sometimes I do use it for that, but not nearly as often as I should.



Now for today.
So I was watching Trueblood, you know that show on HBO which rivals the series Rome for the amount of sex and random nudity they show. It's about vampires, right. I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about.

Well there's this one fella on it, goes by the name Eric Northam - he's a vamp. I lovely vamp, actually seems to be the Vampire Sheriff of Area 5 (I won't go into how ridiculous that is.)

Anyways, so I was watching episode 9, you know the episode where he gets Sookie to help him figure out who stole the 60,000$ from the bar when I noticed it - His head is always at an approximately 75° angle from his shoulders.

That is if we were to stay a 90° angle was when someone kept their head straight, like you know - normal people.

Always! Seriously! I swear!

Except for maybe once when he's trying to get Bill to admit he's in love with Sookie but then it quickly reverts back the the 75-ish° angle...and maybe one other time. BUT OTHER THAN THAT 75°!

( For your viewing pleasure...Collapse )

Okay, so I enjoy my hard rock, heavy metal and classic rock.
As such I have come to accept that the front men, guitar players, bassists and drummers of these bands are generally going to be rather unappealing looking...

When Metallica first started out, people have admitted to buying it because the kids on the cover of the album were pretty, damn ugly.

And what about this guy? Sure he has the same body he did when he was 20, but he also has the same face he had when he was 20...and that's not good.
( Yes, I'm talking about you Iggy PopCollapse )

I could go on, Ozzy Osbourne, Justin Hawkins from The Darkness, Dee Snider from Twister Sister, Alice Cooper, the entire band of ACDC.
( Just a few more pictures, then I will get to my point.Collapse )

Don't get me wrong, I know rock isn't suppose to be pretty. I love ACDC to death, Dee Snider is awesome for standing up in a Senate hearing, the Darkness make me laugh and Alice cooper is a classic. Ozzy Osbourne can be kind of adorable, Iggy Pop is a genius, and Metallica is the first opening band that was cheered for more than the band it was headlining.

But they're fuggly and I accept it.

Then...I found Skid Row and met their frontman with seriously cheesetastic name, Sebastian Bach.
( I mean are heavy metal/hard rock bands even allowed to have members who look like this?Collapse )


...Oh yeah, this maybe image heavy for you.

To all Supernatural Fan-Site Creators and Supernatural Fan-fiction writers,

The genie in "What Is, And What Should Never Be" (2x20) is known as Djinn (or Jinn). A word that is derived from the Arabic word جني , jinnī.
It is not a Gin. You see, Gin is an alcohol flavoured with juniper berries, originating in the Netherlands in the 17th Century. The word Gin, was derived from the French word for juniper which is genévrier.

Now!

To correct Supernatural (the writers, fact-checkers, or whatever. I know you can't always be write and changing things can make it more interesting),

In the episode "No Exit" (2x06) the two Winchester boys and Jo Haravelle face the spirit of "The First American Serial Killer," this is in fact not true. Herman Webster Mudgett, who came to America and began doing buisiness under the name of Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, also known as H.H. Holmes is indeed a serial killer but he is not the first.

The first known serial killer, was in fact two people. The Harps, "Little" and "Big". They were cousins. Traveling from all over North Carolina to Tennessee to Kentucky and back to North Caroloina, raping and terrorizing farmers and their families and are known to killed around 30-40 people during the American Revolution (late 1700s).

H.H. Holmes was definitely a particularily nasty serial killer, yes, and being only one man he racked up quite the body count (well actually, that's just the known number. Apparently based on missing person reports it reaches into the 100s) and really did build a place now known as "Murder Castle," in 1893 for the World's Fair. After his arrest, the building burned down in a fire of unknown origins.
But spooky, spooky things definitely happened after Holmes' execution in Chicago.
...

Ew, getting that information made my stomach turn a little bit. I honestly have to say I like the supernatural stuff, it makes me feel less sick to my stomach. I completely agree with my sister, it's a hell of a lot more scary when it's a human.
