well behaved women

I got a Christmas card today~~~! ki_caelum! Much love!

Also, I was watching BBC's Dracula and there's this scene with Lucy and Dracula and on one hand Lucy's finally getting her sexual gratification, yay for her, but on the other hand he's hiding under the covers (actually emerging from them, but I cannot erase the image) and I could not stop laughing. The scene near the end turns very over dramatic and overwrought, but I was all giggled out so I just skipped it.

Also: I can never, ever take Dracula seriously. The book was creepy and I need to finish it someday, but every romanticized--or even horror show--version since sends me up in gales of laughter or just makes me roll my eyes. Except for Dracula 2000--I thought it was very entertaining, it had Gerard Butler and a collection of very pretty ladies, the Good Guy wasn't a boring wimp and it actually added something to the mythos even though I am as far from fond of what it added as one person can be--they've all been overrated and, to me, boring.

The mouth, so far as I could see it under the heavy moustache, was fixed and rather cruel-looking, with peculiarly sharp white teeth. These protruded over the lips, whose remarkable ruddiness showed astonishing vitality in a man of his years. For the rest, his ears were pale, and at the tops extremely pointed.....[T]he general effect was one of extraordinary pallor.

DRACULA WAS AN ELF YOU GUYS. I cannot bellieve the weirdos of the internet have not pointed this out yet! But wait--mayhap, as a weirdo of the internet, I have just performed this function! WOE. IT CAN NEVER BE RETRIEVED.
