Huzzah!

I am done writing papers!!!!!

And there was much rejoicing.

Also, I finished reading Dracula! It's actually pretty good, so I would recommend it to the curious. However, I did notice an interesting phenomenon at the end, when our intrepid heroes are preparing to follow the "great Un-Dead" back to his lair:

"I propose that we add Winchesters to our armament. I have a kind of belief in a Winchester when there is any trouble of that sort around" (324)

"I have brought some Winchesters; they are pretty handy in a crowd" (354)

"By this time the gipsies, seeing themselves covered by the Winchesters, and at the mercy of Lord Godalming and Dr Seward, had given in and made no further resistance" (376)

I think we can deduce the REAL reason as to why Dracula was defeated.

In conclusion, I had NO IDEA there was a recent adaptation of Dracula, that won OSCARS, was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and starred Sirius Black, Hannibal Lector, Neo, the Dread Pirate Roberts, and the Scarlet Pimpernel. Oh, and Winona Ryder. I think I might need to see this.

Duuuuude. I would totally love to be covered in Winchesters!

Also - I want to see that version of Dracula too. It looks hott. Sooooo...wait until you get back to campus to see it. Or acquire it and we can watch it in three weeks. Or something like that.

Who wouldn't?

As for Dracula, I was thinking I might have to Netflix it. But if it's good (or awesomely bad), I'd be more than willing to watch it again. Perhaps we should continue the tradition of movie night?

Believe me when I say that there would be no resistance of any kind if I were covered by a Winchester ;)

I am glad your work is done!

Pray for me today. I'm going to my you-know-what for the thingie.

Seriously, it will be a farce of the UTMOST PROPORTIONS if you are not thingied for the you-know-what.

Clearly, I will have to get Winchesters to cover you, so you will succeed for certain.

He did it for the kicks.
