Romance is in the Air
I just spoke to my lovely ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nabuchodonosor. She was waiting around with Chelsea and Tabitha for Macy's to open so she could go in and get her make-up done. I can't believe she's getting married today! I so wish I could be there. I was looking forward to donning a bridesmaids dress and weeping as she took her vows. But, I am happy for her nonetheless and hope she has an amazing, beautiful, and utterly unforgetable day.
On a completely different note, can I just say I love what the CW has done with The Vampire Diaries television series? Rather than treat the text as holy scripture the writers have used the basic premise as a jumping off point for their own unique characters and storylines. They've taken a lot of liberties with the story, but I think the changes they've made improve it. I like how they've combined Bonnie and Meredith into one character, Bonnie Bennett, who is more than simply an amalgamation of the two. She embodies the best aspects of both characters while still managing to be her own unique person. I like their decision to turn Elena's kid sister Margaret into a teenage brother who is having a hard time coping with the death of his parents. I love Nina Dobrev's Elena. Unlike the Elena in the books, Nina's Elena is actually likable. And I think casting Ian Somerhalder as Damon was a fantastic choice! While watching his first scene in the series premiere I thought to myself, "Oh my God. That is exactly how I always pictured Damon. EXACTLY!" I love it when actors and casting agents get it right. So, yeah, these days I am digging The Vampire Diaries television series more than I'm digging the books.
That is all.
