I was lucky enough to see it in 3D, and the theater still had the limited edition Harry Potter 3D glasses, whidh by the way got very fogged up by my sobbing!

Waiting Sucks - A Fangirl's True Blood Retrospective 

As the promotions for the new season of True Blood say, “Waiting sucks.” I look forward to the summer these past few years, for one reason, new True Blood episodes! This year we got a treat and were able to watch the first eight minutes of the show on HBO Go, and eventually through Video on Demand on various cable providers.
