Music Monday: I Know That Dream by Icewater

A few of my USC friends made this great music video for the relatively unknown band Icewater. They're based out in Brooklyn, and if you like what you hear below, you can download their album for free from their bandcamp website.

The Vampire Diaries: Season 3 Episode 1 "The Birthday" Episode Recap

Last we saw Mystic Falls, Stefan had turned into a blood drug-addict, completely changed from the nice guy we’ve seen up until now. Damon was on death’s door, but luckily Katherine brought him Klaus’s blood to save him - just as Elena was literally kissing Damon goodbye!


This season promises to be “the season of the originals” but I know I can’t wait to see how Stefan’s transformation plays out with Klaus and especially how Elena and Damons friendship could turn into something more in his absence. Read the full recap after the break!

The Vampire Diaries is back!!

Season 3 premieres tonight and I am SO EXCITED. Really, it's hard to think about anything else. Just watch this  trailer and try to tell me you're not pumped.



Will you be watching tonight? Thursdays are PACKED with TVD, The Secret Circle, It's Always Sunny, and Archer - just to name a few! Let me know what you'll be watching in the comments.
