[Obit] I don't know what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off.

( Stan Winston, 1946-2008 )

Historically, anything that we can imagine, we make. The creative mind imagines it, and it's the human condition to make it real. That is the essence of humanity.

Current Personal Soundtrack

This song is being used as the title theme for an upcoming HBO vampire series (yeah, another one) called "True Blood", based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries books by Charlaine Harris, with Anna Paquin as the protagonist, telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse. There's a pre-air pilot (with some scenes missing) floating around the BitTorrent ether out there, for those interested. It's definitely more, um, adult than Moonlight or Blood Ties were... it's HBO, after all. Not sure what to make of it as yet: it's executive produced by Alan Ball, who created Six Feet Under. Given the fate of vampire shows lately, I think the zeitgeist has passed this genre by now.

But the song's pretty cool.
