I did learn that I'm going to need to get a vat of coffee to get thru my vampire class but that's not what i'm talking about. I had no idea that when Bela Lugosi et al made Dracula that a) it had been a play first and Bela had been doing it there and b) that at the same time in 1931? (I think, horror flick people correct me if I'm wrong) that after Bela and that crew finished for the day, a Spanish crew used the same sets and filmed Dracula with Spanish speaking actors. For that time period, I was surprised. we watched some of it. Dracula had a maniacal grin better suited for Renfield.

I was also surprised when she said i didn't need to do any real research or footnoting for my paper, just demonstrate critical thinking. YAY. that's easier. on the other hand i have to read all of Dracula, Wuthering Heights, Demian and Picture of DOrian Gray and I didnt really like any of them the first time around. and if someone other than the english honor dude (the only guy in class) doesn't start SAYING something this is going to be a very long experience.

I hate to say this since I don't LIKE doing it but now that onemanga is dead, anyone know other sources to look stuff up so i don't have to buy a buttload of manga I might not want to keep. (Hellsing and Vampire KNight are at the library)

since i can do 'pop culture' vampires I will be using my Machiavelli Moon setting.
