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.

Ringer Premieres Tonight, Will You Watch?

I'm still totally on the fence about Sarah Michelle Gellar's new show, Ringer. If it starred anyone else, I don't think I'd be interested, but it stars Buffy! SMG's big return to TV wouldn't be for a mediocre project. At least, I would hope so.

Read the full synopsis and watch the trailer after the break.

Music Monday: Arms by Christina Perri

I first heard about Cristina Perri because of So You Think You Can Dance. Her heartbreaking and soulful Jar of Hearts was used in Season 7 when Billy and All Star Kathryn did a beautifully danced Stacey Tookey routine. After that number, that song immediately made it on to my So You Think You Can Dance Playlist for that season and then I never heard anything from her again. This summer, she released a new single and it's just now starting to get more radio play and I am hooked! Her voice is beautiful and she's proving herself to be a talented songwriter. I hope she keeps it up! Watch the official video for Arms after the break.
