Fanart, Fanfiction and Fangirling

I went to see "A single man" with Eline yesterday (my flatmate got me a Gutschein for 2 people complete with popcorn and drinks for my birthday; I hadn't eaten popcorn at the cinema for ages). It was... weird. (World of the day: "Seltsamer Film".) I really liked the photography and some scenes were beautiful and very touching, but you could see that Tom Ford is a fashion designer and not a "real" director, some parts looked like photo shoots rather than scenes from a film. I also thought the story would be more about being gay in the USA in the '60s, instead it focused mainly on the life of the main character. It wasn't a bad film, though. Just... weird.

Also, last Saturday I did a very bad thing. I went to Dussman and got myself this:



I couldn't help it! I was done with the Asimov book a friend of mine had lent me and had nothing left to read! And when I saw this... and it cost less than 6€ per book... and... *is a vampire geek*

All right, I'm officially addicted to True Blood. If I start to analyse it too much, I see the plot is just like any other vampire story (vampire meets mortal girl, they fall in love blahblahblah), but I love it anyway.

Also, you American people on my flist: is Louisiana really like that? I mean, a friend of mine told me once that she met an American girl from NYC and, somehow, they ended up talking about Britney Spears, of all things. And the American girl said something along the lines of "Oh, what did you expect from her, she's from Louisiana." I don't know much about this kind of stereotypes regarding various US states, but I'm quite interested, could anyone please enlighten me? Or point out a site or something where I could read more on the subject? Thanks.
