Raiders of the Lost Post

[featherynscale]

Well, I hope the fact that I typed a really long post and then closed my browser accidentally instead of posting it is not an omen for the rest of my day.
*****
According to American Greetings, today is "Talk Like a Mad Scientist Day". I'm not sure I consider a greeting card company to be a reliable source about holidays, but hey. Your reality is what you make it. This was a momentous discovery, but not so momentous as the discovery that I'd missed out on "Monkey Day", which was apparently on the 22nd (which also happens to be the birthday of wildnsquirrelly. Coincidence? I think not.). I am so saddened by missing Monkey Day that I am declaring today to also be Monkey Day (or, as I have just learned, Dia de los Monos), or maybe Belated Monkey Day. You make the call.

Anyway. I didn't get any sleep of note last night, so I'm starting off a little bit punchy today. I did sleep for about three hours running, but then woke up with the unshakeable impression that I was sleeping in the house that I lived in when I was in high school. I do this from time to time, wake up and have an entirely wrong idea about where I am, either physically or in terms of where I am in life. It's not so bad as long as I am sleeping alone.

But that's not important. What's important is that I am waiting to hear from triadruid about his vasectomy consultation this morning. I was supposed to go with him and kittenpants, but had a meeting that I had to be at here instead. Of course, when I got here, I discovered that the meeting had been cancelled. Oh well, c'est la vie. I sent him with a note from me, anyway. Not that my opinion is going to be important to the doctor, probably, but it never hurts to be prepared.

Finally, a bit of fluff. I had to see your lists, so now you have to see mine. Or not.
In no particular order... (and some of them are groups... that's just how I think.)
1. Chris in the Morning, Northern Exposure.
2. Frost and Doyle, from Laurell K. Hamilton's Fairy series (though this could be primarily because I started reading Stroke of Midnight last night... Is it wrong to keep hoping that somewhere in those pages there's going to be hot Guard-on-Guard action? Probably.).
3. Gambit, X-men comics.
4. Gurney Halleck, Dune
5. Anathema Device, Good Omens
6. Q, any James Bond movie
7. Amanda, Ziller, and Marx Marvellous, Another Roadside Attraction
8. Miss Portinari, Illuminatus!
9. Faramir, Return of the King (but the book Faramir, not the movie Faramir)
10. Dracula, eponymous

Of course not. You like to get bitten and scratched BY HUMANS, or at least, not by non-sentient creatures. I make no predictions what you'd do if you actually ended up with a werewolf in bed, but I'm certainly getting more batteries for the camera.

See now. I was just getting over the comment about making tally marks in the hotel bed, and had almost got back to the point where I was thinking about work again, and then you have to go say a thing like that.
I'm never going to get anything done this afternoon.

She had the vampire. I had the werewolf. But we could, you know, trade off. I'm open to that.

Sweet. Partner-swapping with fionnabhar. Who'd'a thunk it?

Mmmm, technically, she had Dracula, and I'm pretty sure the version she's thinking of has the ability to assume bestial form... But yes, you're right, I wasn't going strictly off her list here.

Seriously. Bram Stoker's Dracula is almost certainly what I had in mind. Which film, as we know, includes the hottest werewolf/redhead sex scene known to humankind.

However, also in the source novel, Dracula could become a wolf. Whether that was 'wolf' in the sense of 'wolfman' or not was not specified.

Dracula could shapeshift at will into a wolf, a bat, or even fog, but true lycanthropy is of a whole different order in that it's more like a disease, in that it's contagious and has uncontrollable symptoms.

You would be the expert. :)

Well, yeah.

Which only means that a vampire is probably more convenient and could turn into whatever, whenever. Flexible, creative, well timed. A werewolf you have to catch at just the right the moment, and even then, things could get rougher than one might bargain for. Plus, it'd only be once a month. And if one accidently were to mix up one's silver and wooden sex toys--meh, disaster!
