I usually mention Anne Rice's Cry To Heaven in the lecture. This is the first year I've had a class where no one knew who she was. Even mentioning Interview with a Vampire didn't get a response.

HMOG.

I did not know who he was then and I assume from your question that he sang!?! I had not put that together - it's been yonks since I listened to that album.

To keep y'all updated. I found on of the overflow rooms almost empty and was able to move a chair to the back corner, so I can hear the service but not see the tv and hopefully will not disturb anyone with this or knitting.

Yes! It's come up on my iPod every so often. I want to say he did Kiss, but could be wrong....

Yeah, I was almost rendered speechless. They were serious! No one had heard of Anne Rice or Interview With A Vampire. Three of the kids in the class had Twilight books with them, though, and claim to "love" vampires.

Dear Universe,

May I please have another job, now? One where students know basic cultural references would be nice.

k-thx-bye

Man, I love the internet. First Prince Show on SNL was Feb 04 [link] , Losers Lounge was May/Jun 04 [link] so theoretically, we should have known.

OMG- not even Interview with a Vampire?

Also, the copy of Cry to Heaven that I had had a cover blurb that started "Join the glittering world of 18th century castrati..." and my BF and I only have to say those words and we crack up.

Also, I am just realzing that Anne Rice was a little obsessed with "sexless" beings who have sex, kinda sorta.

Kat! Apple Pan?

I think ita should take that attending home and call him George.

I think I was prety obnoxious once I got drugged. Everytime anyone asked me what I wanted to do next I told them it was between the attending and my specialist--I'd follow their lead. I even told the attending I had an irrational fear of being admitted and he honoured that and upped my next dose instead of telling me to sign myself in. Hell, he gave me a third dose, which most doctors won't.

Wait, so we're up a Kat P? I should act gracious about this, but, go team SoCAl!

So maybe the Twilight books will give Rice's some new life. Are the Twilight books as poorly written as Rice's?

ION, I just had to rip out 4 inches of knitting. Poop.

Worse.
