Sometimes, TV gets it right

Posted on by

Once a week I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else). So here is this week’s For the Love of…

I don’t watch Desperate Housewives anymore, but I was glad to see they recently had a happy ending for a lesbian couple. Robin and Katherine walked off into the sunset together (or rather Paris). I think some thought the storyline was over too quickly, but at least it didn’t end tragically or with a “I changed my mind” kind of a thing.

You can check out “Desperate Housewives” mini-cap: Sometimes, TV gets it right on AfterEllen.com.

Anyone watch the show? What did you think of the ending to their story?

Have a great weekend!

Today I’m loving Julianne Moore. She’s filmed her cameo appearance on “As the World Turns” to help say goodbye to her old daytime soap (her role on ATWT ran from 1985-88). ATWT will be ending its 54-year run later this year. You can see a photo of her on the ATWT’s set at Zap2it. Her appearance will air on April 5.

Not many Academy Award nominated actresses would take the time to return to their former daytime career. Pretty classy of her.

Oh and she’s just plain gorgeous, so yeah I’m kind of a fan. ;)

Cheers to her and Happy Friday to all my blog followers,

Once a week, I post a video I’m loving. Here’s this week’s…

This video is a teaser for an online soap opera-style series called Venice. Venice follows the life of a gay female interior designer. I just started watching the show this weekend.

I love this song. Not sure why, but it puts me in a gushy, romantic mood every time I hear it.

You can read more about Venice here: www.venicetheseries.com. Has anyone watched it yet? What did you think?

Thanks for stopping by,

Video I Love: The Magnificent Seven

Once a week, I post a video I’m loving. So here’s this week’s Video I Love…

I just finished re-watching both seasons of The Magnificent Seven TV series on DVD, so I thought I would share a video. This series ran from 1998 to 2000 and was inspired by the film of the same name.

This show was a fav of mine back in the day. Gorgeous men willing to put their lives on the line to save innocent people…and each other. So much slashy goodness. The one and only fan fiction slash I’ve ever read (about any characters) was a short love scene between Ezra and Vin. I can’t recall who write it, but it was delicious.

Enjoy the video. It’s a compilation of Vin, Ezra, and Buck set to “Blaze of Glory” by Jon Bon Jovi. It’s a bit long and the quality’s not the best, but the guys are still great to watch.

Anyone else watch the show? Who was your favorite pairing? Come on, I know you all had dreams about these guys. Share.

Video I Love: Beautiful Song & Amazing Talent

Once a week, I post a video I’m loving. So here’s this week’s Video I Love…

The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics are almost here, so I thought I’d share this video which combines Sarah McLachlan and figure skating. McLachlan (a Vancouver native) wrote “One Dream” to be use for the Olympics.

I admire these athletes. Amazing talent and beauty and they do it all on ice…which hurts like crazy if you fall on it, trust me.

I love the lyrics…

“And you know that you can make it
You’ve got the whole world in your hands
And you’ve spent a lifetime working for this moment
And you are shining
You’re all that you wanted to be”

Motivation for anyone with a dream. Beautiful song. Beautiful skating. Enjoy!

Have a great week!
