Joyce ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Aw... The Dark is Rising! I should reread that.
In my copious spare time, of course.
ARGH. I couldn't nap though I'm falling down tired. And before I pick up The Culture of Fear or Constructing Crime, or my light reading on Serial Killers (you'd love this class, Kristen! I just read an article called "Cultural Development of Monsters, Demons and Evil"), I should put my car in the garage.
You're taking a class on serial killers?
Where do I sign up?
Not really. But I am reading lots about them. I'm reading about Crime Fear and Violence in America. Which for damn sure is easier and more interesting than the Divine Comedy has turned out to be.
The idea of article I mentioned above was that there have always been serial killers, but we used the guise of monsters and demons to explain their existance. There was the cite of a 16th century duchess who killed women and children and then bathed in their blood after particpating in necrophilia. They thought she was a vampire, naturally.
That sounds like a really cool class. And I'm very interested in that article.
That does sound cool, Kat
It was probably all for the best
Yep.
Huh. Caught up and have completely forgotten anything I wanted to post.
I'm bad. I skimmed... except for the Serenity premier stuff. So shallow of me. But! So fun to read about. I believe msbelle's phone call and the fan who was whispering to Allyson were my favorite parts. And the secret sign language of snark - that was good, too.
Oh, yeah! What Jen P said.
There was the cite of a 16th century duchess who killed women and children and then bathed in their blood after particpating in necrophilia. They thought she was a vampire, naturally.
Elizabeth Bathrony, I believe. (Close. Google tells me it's Bathory.) Her name pops up along side Dracula's whenever people write about "real" vampires.
t was really big into vampire lore for about a year in highschool
I am watching last night's Criminal Minds. So far it's only so so, but still MANDY PATINKIN, and a cutie junior detective.
