Class Recap, and the end of Wicked Game
So, first day of class has ended and thus far, despite my crazy Jamaican professor's assertion that she wanted creativity in Earth System Science, I highly doubt that the answer she was looking for when she asked "how does the cryosphere affect the exosphere by way of the anthroposphere" was... "Walt Disney's frozen head launched in space." But that's what she got. And sadly, the "Tea Trade" has nothing to do with scandalous Victorian trysts in someone's parlor room, despite the name. My Human Sexuality textbook (which, incidentally, has pictures of naked people in it doing naked things- and man, the uncircumcised penis looks weird) tells me that it's actually about gay men in bathrooms. Additionally, I am moving to an island in the South Pacific called Mangaia where boys are trained at the age of 13 to last up to a half hour or more in bed, give their women multiple orgasms before they finally come themselves, and to climax simultaneously with their partner. Who else wishes to book a one-way ticket with me? Language barrier should not pose a problem as I anticipate little talking going on whilst I conduct my affairs with the over-13 set. And the textbook, just so you know, began with an excerpt from a Harlequin Blaze novel called "Anything Goes". Add all this awkward new knowledge to running-of-the-mouth around this poor defenseless freshman named Tristan and I will be hitting on him inadvertently like so: "Hey, fun fact... in this tiny island off the coast of Ireland, people have sex with their underwear on and the men immediately fall asleep afterward. " Or, "ever wonder who lets themselves be photographed nude for textbooks? Try explaining that one to the folks;
'oh, yes, I'm a genitalia model.'
Meanwhile, in Theatre History, guess who gets to read the Orestaia AGAIN? You'd think there were no other Greek tragedies. Suppose I should be grateful it's not Oedipus...
I have yet to find a professor who's read "House of Leaves" (yes, that word really is supposed to be in blue) which is what I want to do my honors research project on. Alas, earwax.
Today is the grand traditional theatre senior entrance where we all have to wear black and come in royally to music to the applause of the whole department... by order of the traditions master. We'll see how that goes. I picture myself royally tripping over my own two feet.
Oh, yes, and Ciara and Shane deserve each other for their royal stupidity.
Basically, Ciara gets herself kidnapped and almost vamped/killed/held hostage at a human farm for older vamps who've gone senile while stuck with the 60s vamp and they argue about Norwegian Wood and the meaning thereof for a while ... I guess they have nothing better to do? And then her father who is supposed to be in prison comes back and helps her plan this massive con to save the station and bring down the vampire farm (sort of like that polygamy colony that was all over the news recently, but with vampires). It all goes smoothly except for the part where her dad's still a con-man and betrayed them all and now vampires are coming to kill them. Oh, wait, and the lovebirds also have "I don't want you to bite me but would you pretend?" fear!hot!smex! (okay, that's messed up. that's like dangling dark chocolate in front of my face and not letting me at it) Then there is slayage, and Ciara performs A Heroic Act for baby!vamp who almost killed her by donating blood to Shane who then transfers it to baby!vamp, and Ciara whips out this gem: "If I'd known it would heal you, I would have let you drink from me right away."
"Thanks," Shane says, "I'll remember that next time you shoot me with holy water."
"Besides, it would have been so romantic, very Buffy and Angel."
She's an atheist whose blood heals all Shanes' holy-water induced wounds and she can't wield a cross effectively against vampires b/c she doesn't believe so the two of them conclude that she's like a "desanctifier, an anti-holy". Shane accuses her of being ridiculous and that her blood can't possibly neutralize holy water wounds, and she tells him to not "underestimate the power of the scoff". Then she performs another Heroic Act to redeem herself of her con-life... she burns a 10 million dollar check in her bathroom sink with a patchouli candle, because it's the right thing to do. Thus ends WICKED GAME.
