Vampires...Shifters.....Maenads OH MY!

Hello Readers...

In Northern Louisiana lies a small town filled with sex, horror, drama, and of course...vampires. Bon Temps! Life long inhabitant Sookie stackhouse (played by the talented Anna Paquin) may seem like an ordinary girl, but we know better, and so does everyone else.

Blessed and cursed with the extra-ordinary ability to read minds, in the past Sookie Stackhouse found it hard to keep jobs...as well as boyfriends. Finally finding a "head over heals" boss Sam Merlotte (played by Sam Trammell), who is all good. Sookie Stackhouse currently waitresses at the local bar "Merlotte's" owned by none other that Sam Merlotte himself. Surrounded by friends...and a "Flamboyant" male friend Lafayette Sookie enjoys her job.

On one seemingly ordinary night, Sookie executes her usual waiting on tables, and preparing drinks.....and then, Merlotte's gets it's first vampire...Bill Compton (played by the equally talented Stephen Moyer)

...Sookie(the only one brave enough to approuch the vampire) over-excitedly takes his order and becomes completely allured. After a myriad of drama and suspense Sookie lies dying, mulled, and bleeding...after mid-night, in the Merlotte's parking lot...And then..............You'll have to find out for yourselves. By the end of this episode I had extreme goose-bumps, and I ended up watching the entire first season in two nights...yeah...It is that F****** good!!!! I STRONGLY recommend buying the first season if you've not seen it already. Season two starts June 14th 2009. Till next time......

Luna Moth Cocoons!

Hi everyone, I bought some luna moth (actias luna) cocoons last fall, and well, it's now time to set them out in the warmth to emerge! I just took them out about 45 minutes ago...and already I can hear them moving! The whole process will take around 3 weeks!

My First Tropical Fish Tank!

Hi everyone! I'm in english class right now but I just wanted to throw this out there, I'M GETTING TROPICAL FISHIES TODAY! So, I'll post the pics soon.

Man eaters becoming a thing of indoor "Decor"?

IT'S TRUE!

You may or may not know this, but over the past few decades it has become increasingly popular to keep carnivorous plants! The most common probably being the Venus Flytrap (Dionaea Muscipula).

The Venus Flytrap is an amazing plant, generally growing in areas low in nutrients, it has adapted or "evolved" if you will. Since the Venus Flytrap grows in these low nutrient areas it gets its nutrients from insects that it digests. On the inside of each trap (Picture above) are small hairs called "trigger hairs", when touched these hairs give the signal for the trap to close, thus trapping the insect or other small animal inside. The Venus Flytrap is fun and easy to care for. I grow them, and I love it, I also grow carnivorous Pitcher Plants and Sundews, but that's another blog post, for another day...And I got to get to class ;) See ya

(P.S. For more information on Venus Flytraps, Here is a Wikipedia link :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_flytrap )

Random likings

So.. Today I thought I'd make an entry all about completely random things...that I like! Most of these things, are things of nature..but some...eh, not so much.



Number 1: I like...ORCHIDS! Cattleya, Dendrobium, Oncidium, Paphopedilum,
Phalaenopsis, Vandaceous...aaand yeah! All of them! (I would have more pics..and I did try to upload them, but they were WAY too big! Sorry.)







Number 2: I like GECKOS!!!






Number 3: I really like Insects! Especialy moths, butterflies, "True bugs", and mantises.







Number 4: I like vampires

ANDDDD. Number 5: I like growing Passionflower!



..............I know this was a long post..So what? Well, Till next time, SEE YA!

Day geckos are so freaking cool!

Hi everyone, this is my first blog post! Something I have been thinking about for a while is how cool Madagascan Day Geckos are..(is madagascan incorrect?)....But seriously, they are really cool!

I have three herps in my home right now...I have a leopard gecko, and two green anoles...well...three...but one got loose in the house so yeah.

Anyway, Day geckos eat nectar, fruit, and anything sugary (even if it isn't 100% good for them). They're somewhat expencive and slightly difficult to take care of but all in all they make great pets! Some people are even lucky enough to live in their native areas! Just another great example of Biodiversity!!!!

(P.S. I know, this post sucks really bad...but I'll make better ones soon! PEACE!)
