Supernatural x Vampires: Two Reviews

Supernatural x Vampires: Two Reviews, blog post by Aspasia S. Bissas, aspasiasbissas.com, The View from the Junkyard, Dead Man's Blood

If you haven’t been keeping up with my Supernatural reviews over at The View from the Junkyard, you might be interested to know that vampires have entered the field. I’ve just started on Season 2, and so far we’ve had two vampire-focused episodes:

Dead Man’s Blood

It’s the episode I’ve been waiting for: my friends, we have vampires.

We begin in Manning, Colorado, where a man is sitting in a bar, looking through a book that looks very much like John’s journal, and taking notes. He’s barely paying attention to anything around him—until a group of people walk in. Instantly he’s on alert, and then a moment later he’s gone. Read More…

and “Bloodlust

I wasn’t expecting to see vampires again so soon after the last time, but I can’t say I was disappointed.

In Red Lodge, Montana, a young woman is running from something in the woods (with all the typical looking back and tripping that make these scenes so annoying). She hides behind a tree until it seems as though she might be safe. But when she emerges from her hiding spot, a man is waiting for her with a sickle in hand. A moment later, her body and her head go their separate ways. Read More...

[I’m feeling a little blood lust myself this morning, after being woken up before 7 AM by all the Toronto Marathon hoopla,.]

Give from Your Heart (Vampire Approved)

Give from the Heart (Vampire Approved!) blog post by Aspasia S. Bissas, aspasiasbissas.com, give blood, donate blood, donate platelets, pet blood, blood donation, save a life, save lives.

Considering how much of it exists in the world, it’s surprising (or maybe not) that blood banks are perpetually short of their key product. Blood and blood components are needed to help people with various medical conditions (including those with blood cancers), for surgery, and for emergency situations, like during childbirth or after a car accident. When there isn’t enough blood to go around, the consequences are devastating. So today’s post is to ask you to please consider donating blood, if you can– it takes only about 30 minutes. You’ll be rewarded with the warm sense of having done some good in the world (and a treat).

While you’re at it, ask about donating platelets–there’s a major need for platelet donors, as not everyone qualifies. If you can give, please consider doing so.

Your local vampires would approve 🧛

For more information on donating blood/Platelets:

Canadian Blood Services: https://www.blood.ca/en

Société canadienne du sang: https://www.blood.ca/fr

American Red Cross: https://www.redcrossblood.org/

NHS Blood Services: https://www.blood.co.uk/

If your local agency isn’t listed, try doing an online search for blood services in your country/region.

(By the way, veterinary clinics need blood too. Find out more here, or search for pet blood donations in your local area: https://www.canadiananimalbloodbank.ca/#!cabb )

Wishing you a bloody good weekend…
