Actually, the title is not a reference to U2 even though I am going to see them later today.  The title is a reference to my themed Sunday gatherings that began June 26th, which are comprised of New Orleans-style bloody mary with pickled green beens and okra, and True Blood.  Now you understand…
    June 26th began like a typical day, but when nightfall came, I found myself tuning into HBO at 8pm for last season’s finale of True Blood, which was kind of like tailgating…pumping me up for the main event.  At 9, the land of psycho fairies, shapeshifters, time lapses, and vampires came alive.  Ooooooooooo Alexander Skarsgard.  Sookie, if he wants you for his girlfriend, what’s to think about?  Pam gave you all the solid reasons: hot, rich, cares for you as deeply as vampires can.  Come on Sook!  
    Bill’s king.  Sam has friends.  Jason’s a cop.  Andy has a drug problem. Tara is in a gay relationship (like we couldn’t see that coming).  Lafayette is with a wiccan.  The wiccan is part of a crazy little cult.  Ah, Bon Temps, it’s good to have you back.  
    And…if you didn’t catch it at the end of the show…HBO has a little something called HBOGo.com, that you can access through the internet or download as an app on your i-Instruments…and you get to watch an extra episode.  Guess who saw the second episode in the season?  I did.
    Really?  Jason as a panther?  Really?  Wiccans controlling the world?  Really? Eric with amnesia?  really? Oh, Eric, you’re breaking my heart. 
    I personally enjoyed the first episode of the season much more than the second.  It’s True Blood, so I’m hooked regardless….
    Here’s to Sunday Bloody Sundays!  4 light fruits for the kick off to the new season!
