Vampires suck... well.... yeah.

Things like this just make me smile.  And then I get hungry…

Anna’s been a bad monkey.

I’ve been so caught up in collecting, watching and reading anything having to do with vampires that I haven’t been reviewing or writing!

Bad MONKEY!

I need a nip in the bud.  Or a bite on the butt…with big fangs.  Eric Northman’s my first choice!

I know somewhere you can bite!

So, in a bid to keep my obsession going… I’m raising my glass of blood red wine *yummay* and I pledge to get my reviews, thoughts and giggles OUT!  Beware!  BWA HA HA HA!!!

Ok, got some vampire gossip!

WELL….

I happened to be at the emergency room with friend last night, a swelling toe issue that was diagnosed as “toe pain”! LOL. That is besides the point though! While my friend was whisked away to have an x-ray of his poor toe, I was left to my own devices.

The room I was in just had a curtain and no actual door. Just outside this room was where the triage nurses asked the admitted patients why they were here and medical history. I didn’t mean to listen in, I really didn’t! But there I was, sitting practically next to a man with just a curtain separating us.

Eavesdropping, no never!

The nurse asked him why he came into the ER. He replied that he had called his doctor earlier because he was attacked by a bat and his doctor recommended that he be seen at emergency services.

Apparently, the night before while he was asleep a bat had gotten into his bedroom by flying in through an open window. He woke up suddenly because the bat was flapping right over his face. He didn’t think he had been bitten exactly, but wanted them to check out a strange mark.

Bats at Dusk

Ok, not exactly bitten by a vampire! But who knows really?! I’m going to keep my eye on the paper and see if there are mysterious disappearances after dark!

I only wish that I had pulled back the curtain and saw a big, beautiful, honkin, viking vampire sitting there! **le sigh** a girl can dream, right?

A girl can dream...

I was poking about tonight and found this great site: www.vampirehealth.com

They have vitamins and supplements for promoting vampire perks – like the abilities to see, hear and think clearly and to be strong and beautiful. Though, I’m not too sure about the garlic supplement!

Very boutiquey – but made me smile a toothy grin!

Smile!

Buffy vs. Edward

I know I’ve been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer back to back for the first time and am a teensy weensy bit obsessed…  but LOOK!  This is hoody is hilarious!  Go Buffy!

Vampire Bill drinking Tru Blood

I was poking around the HBO store and found that you can get Tru Blood, just like in the series.  I only wish it were the real thing and it was being served by me to say… Bill or Eric.   Then again I could just tilt my head a bit and lean in… but I digress.

Tru Blood

So great!  You can buy these at HBO.com along with other items from the True Blood series.

Bon appetit!

Though I am usually the one cheering the vampires on, there have been some really cool vampire hunters over the years in books, movies & TV shows.

So here are the 10 that made my list – even though they hunt after my beloved, cold, pale loves.

10.  Jesus – from the movie Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

Vampire Hunter Jesus

Ok, confession time… I haven’t see this movie yet, but how could I possibly resist?!

9.  Blade – from the movies The Blade Trilogy

Vampire Hunter Blade

I thought Blade was  a bit on the cheesy side, but he still kicked some serious vampire butt.

8.  Anna Velarious – from the movie Van Helsing

Vampire Hunter Anna Velarious

Another slightly cheesy movie, but Kate Beckinsale is an awesome vampire hunter.  And she has a cool accent in the movie.

7.  Edgar & Alan Frog & Sam Emerson – from the movie The Lost Boys

Vampire Hunters Edgar & Alan Frog and Sam Emerson

These guys were great! And one of my all time favorite vampire movies.

6.  The Twilight Wolves – from the movies (and books) The Twilight Saga

Vampire Hunters - The Twilight Wolves

Ok, I admit it… they are basically eye candy.  If you like that wolfy kind of thing.  I don’t.  I prefer them cold, pale and dangerous!

5.  Robert Neville – from the book and movie I Am Legend

Vampire Hunter Robert Neville

What an awesome character.  I love that he became a vampire hunter because that’s how he had to survive.

4.  Vampire Hunter D

Vampire Hunter D

I remember seeing Vampire Hunter D years ago and loving it.  I want to see it again (hellooooo Netflix).

3.  Abraham Van Helsing – from the book Dracula and all the Dracula movies

Vampire Hunter Abraham Van Helsing

Van Helsing was a great vampire hunter, probably one of the most well known.  He just knew how to do it.

2.  Abraham Lincoln – from the book Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter

Vampire Hunter Abraham Lincoln

Um… Abraham Lincoln as a vampire hunter who saved the world from vampires??  Yes, please!

1.  Buffy Summers – from the movie and TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Vampire Hunter (and Slayer!) Buffy Summers

Yes, Buffy is number one for me.  I just love her.  Is that wrong?  Maybe it’s because she has a thing for vampires… like me!

10.  Prague, Czech Republic  –  the largest “vampire cemetary” was discovered a  few miles from Prague

Prague, Czech Republic

9.  Venice, Italy  –  with Carnival and the air full of magic, what better city for vampires?
