Summer In The City

So, I have been experimenting with a poll widget for this site.

Looks good. But POLLS, really?

Ekström says hi to everybody, and wants you to know that he still hates me. Because I refuse to buy an iPad. He has to wait until the first usable Android-based and affordable tablet hits the market. Ekström can't type :(

On a related note, a recap of our talks about the future of this blog.
* Derek (location unknown) enjoys it as it is now.
* Luca (hi, Rome) doesn't care much, but is looking forward to Linux & gadget articles
* Rebecca (NL), Nicole (UK) and iHelix (NL) prefer to keep this site about Michelle and to open the blog to occasional off-topic posts
* Randy (Dublin) is dreaming of being an actor and has a vision of a Global Frequency Network
* Akima (Budapest) suggests a second blog "Aleph and the green bubble"
* Deb (Buffalo) is enjoying the summer and wouldn't mind a second blog
* Chris (Amsterdam) loves Durham County and adds bubbles to the css codebase

I wonder if we qualify as 'a bunch of nutters' as well ...

Have a great weekend. Enjoy yourself!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

From our blog contributor D.:
"I was cruising around this evening looking at houses, I came across a listing for one on Forbes Street. >giggle< So I thought that I'd check out the neighborhood. It was dark and rainy by the time I drove to W., which is north of B. Map Quest gave me really good directions, I got a good glimpse of the neighborhood, and found it had way too many families with kids. Nice. The house I was looking at looked okay but I wasn't thrilled. A little big for just me. But I'd rather be in an area that was a little more gay friendly. I went to drive out of the area, and turn onto another street. My eyes popped out of my head. I started laughing. Grabbed my camera and took this picture:"



* Twitter: "Michelle Forbes is too damned hot for words."
Welcome to the club, katemonkey

* No news about Durham County season two airing in the US on ION TV. Do fans have to revert to Plan B?

* Imagine, you're not that much into True Blood. Imagine, you do like Maryann. How do you save 16 GB space on your harddisk by creating a Maryann Forrester show in HD quality? A step-by-step guide will follow next Sunday. You can't wait? Hints: Go to our True Blood Maryann playlist on Youtube, find the Maryann scenes in HD, and use http://keepvid.com/.

* Next week: a quiz for leg fetishists, looooong legs.

Sunday's Giggle

* Michelle has her own song on Youtube - Michelle Forbes song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWs2BVeIMJo
(Watch the video at our sidebar)

"If I had all the awards/ I'd hand them out to Michelle Forbes/ For all her sterling work as a supporting actress"

Cute, isn't it? *giggles*
Looks like the author is a genre fan or hasn't had the chance to watch In Treatment, Durham County, Messiah, Wonderland ... or these words don't rhyme well ;-)

* Johnny on Twitter: "Admiral Cain is on #trueblood. Michelle Forbes is awesome."
Welcome, Johnny :)

* True-blood.net published on Friday that Michelle joined the cast of Highland Park, an indie movie about the history of the McGregor Library (Detroit, Michigan). This is unconfimed, True-blood.net didn't give any source or further details. Shooting started some days ago according to michigancitizen.com.

* Can you imagine how a blogger feels when he/she for months can't decide if it's ok to publish a certain photo shoot? The source, the date is unknown. And I'm not 100% sure if it's a portrait of Michelle Forbes. What do you think?

Di-Meat-Tree Fan Award 2009

Team Frak-the-Emmys is overjoyed to announce the winner of the Di-Meat-Tree Fan Award 2009: Michelle Forbes!


We were thrilled and in stitches, we were terrified and disgusted (reportedly over 400 thousands viewers became vegetarians overnight), we were screaming with delight, you freaked us out and left us speechless - but most of all, you charmed us.

Michelle, we love you, for your extraordinary, hysterically funny and powerful performance as Maryann Forrester!







But there's more. A special Marriage-Is-Evil Award to Michelle for delivering the line "My Lord. My husband."



Fan voices:

"SEXY"
"Smokin' hot!!!"
"FUCKING AWESOME"
"Maryann, I want your babies"
"BITCH!"
"Orgies!!!!!!!!!!"
"She's one chic lady"
"Maryann Forrester NEEDS MORE EPISODES AND MEAT TREES!"
"Deliciously evil"

Presentation speech:
"Michelle Forbes has delivered a surprising performance on the small screen. In but a little time, she creeped us out of our wits with her portrayal of the enigmatic Maryann Forrester on True Blood. Now we have joined the ranks of many who squeal with fright at the mere sight of her. Alan Ball's execution of her story arc bored us to tears, and yet we were moved to death every time Maryann appeared. We relished her every scene; we devoured her, just like she effortlessly won over the hearts of others. Her victims and ourselves screamed with delight in unison! The thrilling ride on the True Blood train left us in stitches. After each episode, we found ourselves picking up our pieces. Speechless, we clung to our cosy chairs in front of the TV...or other machine. We were in fear, we were awed, lost and won over, again and again. Michelle Forbes did the impossible and brought the most outrageous character to our living rooms, and to our minds in the name of entertainment. And, boy, we were entertained!"
