Ok, yes, that is the actual title to this post... the ACTUAL topic I feel I must discuss... in length... (some people discuss important things in their blog... I discuss Dino Dan... )
Let me explain...
I've always had a love/hate relationship with the Nick Jr. show 'Dino Dan'. I mean, I get it. It's a good show. It teaches about dinosaurs (my 4 year old can spout off some dino names that make you go 'huh'), but my issue with Ole Dan is, "Shouldn't his mother be a bit concerned about him?" I mean, really, the kid walks around all day, seeing dinosaurs???? Really????? And No one seems the least bit concerned about that??? I guess I'm stiffling my kids' creative sides, but if one of them truly thought they saw dinosaurs, I think I'd be worried...
Which leads me to the 'Blood Sucking Vampire' part...
I am a fan... ok a HUGE gynormous fan of the SYFY channel show Being Human which is a "Knock off" of the original BBC show. I don't care personally that it's a knock of.. I LOVE IT! If you need a reason to watch the show (besides it's awesomeness), please see exhibits A) Sam Witwer (Doomsday on the seventh season of Smallville... ) And B) The guy that played Jacob on Lost. Can a more awesome show be made???? I think not ;)
Ole Dino Dan was a guest star last week. I won't even pretend to know the kid's real name. I don't want to know. To me, he will forever and always be... Dino Dan. (Kinda like Zach Morris will always be 'Zach Morris')
So, tonight 'Dan' got hit by a car and was turned into a vampire (gasp!) by Aidan's (the vampire played by Sam Witwer... look him up! You'll thank me!) kinda girlfriend (who he 'accidently' killed... long story).
ANYWAY, I have to say, Dino Dan made a good Vampire. He ended up killing the bullies who had torchured him for about a year... then he gave his vampy step mom a hard time (I don't like her, so it was ok)... and then... Oh poor Dan...
*spoiler alert*
Dan... died (and yes, I actually cried... TEARS flowed down my face. I kid you not!). Aidan killed him in a deer hunting trip so he couldn't hurt anyone else... (tears). You should just watch it.
I wanted to bad to post this on fb, but then I thought better of it. This was meant to be a long, drawn out, and pointless blog post bc frankly if any of my RL friends saw this, they would probably think I was nuts ;) (not that you all won't, but you will be kinder about it... I think ;) ). I wanted this blog to be kinda goofy and a relaxed place to chill and laugh. I hope my Being Human/Dino Dan obsession has provided that service to you all tonight :)
SO in conclusion:
1. I WILL discuss Being Human every Monday. You have been warned. Watch it and join me... please :) (Syfy channel 8 pm central time)
2. Dino Dan is actually a pretty good actor.
3. I need a hobby...
