"I'm alive!"
Well, though I've been really stressed out this week, it's better now. I still have a logic exam I have to worry about on Monday, but other than that, I'm doing okay.
My science fiction seminar is so much fun. It was my second choice, but I love it. Dr. Ely is hilarious. We were watching Frankenstein movies this week and she described some of the monsters as "perfectly lovely". Mind you, she was refering to the Bride of Frankenstein and this other Frankenstein movie that I will tell you about next.
One Frankenstein movie is probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen, but it's complete smut. It's called "Frankenstein Unbound". This British dude goes back in time to the time of Mary Wolstencraft Goodwin (that is, before she married Percy and became Mary Shelly) and meets her and starts talking about a book that she has just begun to written (which will be Frankenstien...you probably knew that). Anyway, they go back to her place in this wacked up car that serves as the time machine (Mary: "Oh! Is this your carriage" Car: hello Mary. I am not a carriage, but a car." *rolls eyes*) So they're all talking about a Dr. Frankenstein who kind of lives next door to Mary and who has created a human being/monster (this disgusting thing which Dr. Ely referred to as "lovely"). So Mary starts to go on about how such an act is an abomination to God, and when the British dude is silent at this she's all like "You don't believe in God do you?" to which Dr. Ely responds "Neither do you Mary, just to refresh your memory."
I haven't gotten to the funniest part yet. They go inside her house and the British dude is still talking about how amazing and wonderful she is, so naturally they wind up in her bedroom. As she starts taking off her clothes she says, "Byron (as in Lord Byron, who, as I'm sure many of you are aware, hung out with the Shellys a lot) and Shelly preach free love....I practice it." It was hilarious.
There's actually more. To cut an already long story short, suffice it to say Frankensteins fiancee is driving from the monster in the carriage and doesn't have the brains to use the whip on the monster when he starts to climb on the carriage and ends up getting killed by having her chest ripped open. Quite nasty. Meanwhile the British dude and Frankenstein are chasing this whole procession on foot and don't have the brains to take the wacked up car. The whole thing was just really stupid, but it was funny.
Well, this weekend I'm going home. I miss my family and it'll be nice to relax for awhile.
I hope everyone is having a good day.
