We might actually win this one yet.
Aug. 10th, 2005 04:18 amChildren, a piece of helpful advice: when emptying out drawers, always ask before you throw anything away. That weird pastel-hued article of 1970's clothing just might be your mom's wedding dress.
My bedroom is about as tidy as it's going to get and I am halfway done with cleaning the basement; as in I am literally halfway across the room. Hopefully the second half will get finished tomorrow.
It was a better day today. I got in a creative mood and was thinking about putting my own creative spin on Bible stories and posting them here on my LJ, but since I don't have a Bible handy right now, I guess it will have to wait. Stick around for it. It will be fun, I promise.
It's been fun in my imaginary world. Reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in order to be a cultural lemming, as well as Thief of Lives by Barb and Jacee Hendee so I can pretend I'm a fan of intelligent fantasy. The latter is refreshing in the realm of vampire fiction in that the vampires do not instantly explode the moment they receive a fatal-to-vampires injury. Now I love Buffy and Blade as much anyone, but it makes me lose faith in the vampire race when anyone armed with a wooden doorstop can just sort of make a general sort of stabbing motion in the direction of their chest and they perish explosively, clothes and all. Watched a 1970's "Dracula" movie starring Frank Langella and Donald Pleasance (I think,) a few nights ago and it was wonderful to see Dracula's refreshingly slow and ugly death scene. (Or almost-death scene, I should say. Who knew vampires could escape death by sunlight by turning into a bat? Not most vampires, apparently. I guess that's why Dracula keeps coming back and the others don't.) Oh how I long for things like that and the creative death sequences of The Lost Boys! No more of this "POOF!" business. It was clever for a while but it's old hat now.
I think my tangent on vampires was inspired by all the spider webs I've been mopping up. Sorry about that for anyone with no interest in vampires or spiders, which is redundant anyway because spiders essentially ARE vampires, sucking blood out of their prey and being creepy and alle gothe and shite.
Mel and I had a most interesting conversation tonight about cherries and coffee, but I'm not going to share it. Let's just say they are really, really good for you and you should consume them lots. Trust me, they are. And you should.
