Who wants to live forever? Has that been a question we’ve asked before, here on Immortal Monday? I’ve been sitting at my desk thinking about that question and the first thing that came to mind was… Yes, the theme song for the first Highlander movie. A story that begins with our Scottish Clansman, Connor MacLeod,…
Beautiful scene on the right, isn’t it? Age old castle set on a wintery hilltop. Perfect for an immortal story on Immortal Monday, wouldn’t you agree? What you are looking at is actually Bran Castle in Transylvania. It sits over the beautiful countryside of Romania. It’s a mighty grand, historic place built in 1212 by…
For quite some time my son has been asking me to cover Spiderman or Batman on Immortal Monday. He’s been all gun-ho since we talked about Thor, a subject he knows a lot about. He actually educated me on Thor’s father Odin. But as cool as Spidey and Batman are, they are also human. Now, for…
Valentine’s Day is only two days away! That makes it fitting to have the goddess most associated with love as our topic here today on Immortal Monday. And it has been long overdue that this series embrace some mighty girl power! I’ve wanting to do that for some time now. I am tickled pink that…
Who wants to be a superhero? Come on, don’t all raise your hands at once. I know, we all feel self-important. It’s human nature. Myself, I always liked the idea of being something more along the lines of Xena. A kick @$$ warrior princess. Of course, that was before I read Lisa Wilson’s post on…
What is it about teen lit or the shows inspired by them that make us gush? Is it we never grow tired of the feelings and emotions stirred by young love and lust? Buying in freely to a time when it we were free of our learned inhibitions. Now add the element of the paranormal…
Before there was recorded history in China, there were the Great Pyramids of Giza. No small feat by any means was the effort and ingenuity it took to build them. The timing is a matter still under debate among many, ranging anywhere from twenty years to multiple lifetimes. In any case, you can be sure…
What do they all have in common? A show whose second season premiers in the U.S. tonight! That might be why Being Human is hijacking Immortal Monday! I tuned in for the series premiere last year out of mild curiosity, not expecting much, and to my surprise was quickly sucked in (Pun intended). The series…
Immortal Monday is back! Did you miss me? I apologize for the absence, but the gods are powerful and being out on the Pacific Ocean gave the god Poseidon the upper hand where my internet connections were concerned. Never the less, he was good to me and my family, and saw that we had beautiful…
I am currently loading all my bags onto the Disney cruise liner Wonder so that I may get lost at sea for the next week with Mickey Mouse and the entire cast of Disney characters. Although I’ll be off the grid, I’ve set up the blog to keep you updated while I’m away. I do hope you’ll continue…
Who wants to live forever? Raise your hand. What if there was an instrument that could grant this ability without the downside of say – vampirism? Would you be tempted?

We’ve been mixing it up the past few weeks on Immortal Monday. As a result, I thought we’d take it back to its roots this week and throw around a little gossip coffee talk about a fan favorite, the swoon worthy immortals of Sunnydale. We have the ever amazing slayer, Buffy Summers, to thank for…
