Man Crush Monday: Lin-Manuel Miranda

The first man crush Monday of the year goes to Lin-Manuel Miranda. The genius behind In the Heights, and Hamilton. 

 He's a talented man from New York that has made his work on Broadway known. He has also done his fair share of music work on movies.

It wasn't until Hamilton that I really started to pay attention. I had listened to In The Heights back in school, and saw the performance at the Thanksgiving Day Parade, but it was just something cool I liked at the time. When I heard the song "Alexander Hamilton" for the first time I was hooked. I loved the beat and style of the song, and I just had to listen to more. I found myself just crying over the soundtrack and fell in love with it. I couldn't believe that a rap musical about Alexander Hamilton had become one of my favorite things in the world. Lin not only gave great music with this, but gave me an interest in American History.

In school we never really learned too much about Hamilton. I didn't know a lot of the stuff he did, or was responsible for till I actually started reading. I am currently reading Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, and it is fantastic. I can honestly say that this is one of the most interesting books I've read in a long time.

Aside from Broadway Lin has had some guest spots on TV that you may remember. Such as Gus the bus passenger that helped Marshall rhyme some rhymes to baby Marvin on How I Met Your Mother. He was also Dr. Ruben Marcado in the show Do No Harm. He guest stared on House m.d as Alvie the roommate House had when he was committed. He was also Guillermo in Modern Family which was hilarious. He has such amazing talent, and I cannot wait to see more from this amazing guy. Thank you all for reading.

Eric Northman and Sookie Stackhouse

Hello world, today the ship is going to be Eric Northman and Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood. Ever since the first season I had liked Eric more than Bill, and I thought his moments with Sookie were so real. Does that make sense? A lot has happened over the years, but when Eric and Sookie were finally a thing, or as close to a thing as they can get I was so happy. Of course it doesn't last long because it is always that never ending 'which man to choose' battle going on in her head. I am still holding out for a bit of hope that they end up together, but probably not. Especially with recent events leaving Eric to catch the sunlight, and since Warlowe is dead the blood that was taken from him is also done for. So Eric is off in another place alone when he comes out butt naked, and sits to read in the sunlight. I really did like this scene for multiple reasons, but it was a great scene because Eric thought he was safe, and that he could do what he wanted but that is not t...

Ship of the Week? Lizzington

Hello all and welcome to another Ship of the Week. Today we have the concierge of crime Raymond Reddington and FBI agent Elizabeth Keen. In the beginning it sort of seems like they are making it out like Red is Liz's father, but there I can see something else being there too. Especially in recent episode when she has a dream of Red asking her who she really wants, and he is totally checking out her bare legs, as she lay on that bed in that hotel room. Red is such a badass criminal and what makes him even more loveable is the fact that he has emotional damage that drive him to do what he does. He has lost so much, but he also loves a great deal and is very loyal, and expects loyalty in return. I love that about this character and think that James Spader plays Raymond Reddington perfectly. Plus he looks heck of cute in those suits, and hats *swoon.* Liz was married to a man named Tom Keen who we find out rather quickly is a total liar. He was placed in her life because of Redd...
