Ok, I probably haven't been in the loop because it's just recently that I've been exposed to The CW's THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. Seemed like another teenage vampire drama, and yeah, it probably is; but needless to say, I liked it. I love it. Call me shallow, but I'm entirely satisfied with how it entertains me. With blood, sex, and mainstay eye candies, I couldn't complain even for a sec.

To cut this short, admittedly, it's Damon Salvatore who's got me obsessing over The Vampire Diaries. No other fictional creature would have defined the label Sexiest Beast better than this tough vampire who's fighting the urge to reveal his compassionate side. Then there's the first episode of Season 2.

Sure, all those Damon-Elena scenes in Season 1 got to me, but Damon's emotions made a significant jump this early on in Season 2. What do you get when you combine alcohol with a vampire whose heart has been aching for over a century?

THIS. "Upset is an emotion specific to those who care."

Well, that was Damon's second major hit for that episode. THIS was the first. (1:58) 

I'm getting all incoherent now, and all I can think of is linkspam, so I might as well share with you what I've been getting busy with during the past days. Weeks.
