Sleepy Hollow and a slew of other cool shows

I have to say that my hubby and I are quite happy with this fall season of new shows and the reprisal of our faves from last spring. Tonight we have Bones and Sleepy Hollow to look forward to, Bones I have been watching since day one, a decade’s worth I think, and Sleepy Hollow is an excellent new show. Whoever came up with the premiss is extremely creative, Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman are tied together through time by a spell and someone woke one of them up so hence the other is woken as well. The amount of folklore and legend is soooo cool, I have yet to be disappointed by a single episode. It doesn’t hurt that Ichabod is a dreamy British dude who is very charming and the lead detective is a feisty, very pretty, young, intelligent and gutsy detective. They make a great deductive and courageous pair when fighting the supernatural.

Bones is as I said one of my favorites. I adore the character of Bones, everything about her, from her back story to her quirks and her social awkwardness, even her extremely high opinion of her brilliance which within the context of the show you can’t dispute. Booth is of course our noble hero, he has his own foibles but he complements Bones on every level, they even deal with his devotion to his Catholicism versus Bones steadfast atheism. I have been watching these two characters for a decade, along with their friends within the lab and now this season we are finally going to get a wedding! Bones who never believed in the sanctity of marriage, now has come to love Booth to the point that she feels marrying him is right and natural. Booth being excited and wanting to marry Bones is beautiful and romantic, but the real champion of love and commitment is Temperance Brennan (Bones) herself. Her willingness to throw her customary caution and self-preservation of all things heart related, to the wind and take that “leap of faith” with Booth and their future is to me the ultimate thing of beauty.

I am going to have my tissues handy for their wedding show, I can’t wait.

P.S The whole other slew of cool shows are all supernatural related such as The Originals, a show about the original vampires who are one thousand years old. It is a spinoff of the Vampire Diaries, self explanatory. There is the new show called The Witches of East End, about a family of witches who keep coming back time and time again, always fighting a new threat, Then there is another show that we have fallen in love with called Haven, it’s about a small town in Maine, whose denizens have “troubles” and the main characters Audrey and Nathan help uncover the cause and thus resolve their troubles before more people get hurt. Great t.v!!

Click over to your favorite blog, and pick out the 4th and 14th words (that aren’t “the” or “an”). Drop them into this phrase: “_____ is the new _____.” There’s your post title. Now write!

I hate playing favorites but I will head over to one of mine, she is kind, nurturing and makes me laugh each and every time I read any one of her posts. I am heading over there right now, http://www.thelaughinghousewife.wordpress.com.

Blogging is the New Me. What a powerful phrase. It is one that I can definitely identify with, once I let my curiosity lead me down the writing path with WordPress and I committed to writing daily, I can seriously say that blogging is the new me. I love blogging and writing, I stumbled onto a large, welcoming and powerful community and my life is richer and fuller because of it. Writing has replaced therapy and to have my therapist break up with me because writing had done for me what hours of talking never did, I acknowledge my therapists’ professional integrity in letting me go off with her blessing.

Even if blogging is not someone’s thing, I would always recommend keeping a journal or a diary, even if you never read anything that you have written, just the act of putting emotions, thoughts, hopes and dreams down on paper makes a big difference in your emotional temperature. I find that for myself the simple act of writing chases away my angst, anxiety and fears and I feel so much better just writing down the simplest and mundane things about myself and my life.

On another note, I highly recommend visiting TheLaughingHousewife and if you want to acquaint yourself with another friend of mine, I also urge you to visit http://www.weescoops.wordpress.com. She is a fascinating woman and a wonderful poet.
