"Moonlight" -- Petition to Renew it Going around.
I'm incredibly disappointed that "Moonlight" -- currently, my favorite television show -- has been canceled by CBS, the network that aired it. The detective drama, based around vampires in the LA area, has about 7.5 million to 8 million viewers. I'm really surprised that it would not be renewed, given the size of its audience of incredibly loyal viewers.There's been a petition to renew the show going around. Sign it, if you get a chance and if you like this show. Here's a link to more info.
I think that the show is a lot like "Vampire: The Masquerade" done very, very well, with a big budget, great storytellers, slick sets and wardrobe, and sexy actors/actresses. The characters seem to be developing with the storyline. Each episode has gotten better than the one before it, the pilot being the least exciting and the season finale being the most intriguing thus far.

I'm in Texas at the moment. NYC was great fun and definitely improved in my opinion upon increased exposure. I've only been there about a half-dozen times, but it seems more enjoyable on every subsequent trip. I think it's definitely a place I could enjoy living for a few years. It's much more direct than Los Angeles, less hidden behind veneers, and there were so many things to do! But, LA has a lot that I haven't explored, as well. My sister thinks that NYC is a city better enjoyed as a visitor than a resident, which is what I think of LA. Perhaps she and I ended up on the "wrong" coasts. Maybe I'll squeeze what experience I can muster out of LA while I'm still there next year and come away wanting to return. LA has lost its charm, already, for me, but perhaps it can be regained; at least I should try that before relocating on a more long-term scale to a new city.
I'll get around to writing more about NYC at some point, or transcribing impressions from my journal, or posting photos. Just not in the mood right now.
