We Both Know You Could Deflate

Lucy likes Tori Amos. I’m not sure we can be friends. I mean there is a reason when you go to Tori’s website it is mostly all old artwork and articles on old work she has made. Anyways, I kid, I can be friends with a Tori fan but her making me listen to Scarlet’s Walk earlier tonight was almost just as bad as getting shot in the gut.

It started simple this evening. I picked up the graphic novel, The Loaded Bible by Tim Seeley, for my Kindle and finally got around to reading it.

When Lucy woke up I showed her and we both laughed so hard about the concept that we both had to read it. Sucks it ended at the end of part two. It is just the type of vampire cheese that I dig. Serious over use of everything stereotyped in these type of stories with a heavy dose of irreverence to make me not want to read it, but so fun that I had too. I love going against my instinctual good taste. My only complaint really is that Lilith is a monkey. Seriously. Science people.

Lucy thought the book was entertaining but she digs on more romantic or at least straight forward vampire fiction so it wasn’t her bag.

Then we started talking more about the definition of vampire and somehow it skipped to psychic/emotional/energy vampires, and then how artist who try to suck the blood from their past success instead of blazing new paths are vampires. Minds are awesome. We never did settle on how we would define a vampire but we have decided to start looking into that together. Possibly watching movies, reading books and then posting our opinions here for the record (or even comment from readers). Lucy says I need something to fill the space on the blog while I’m not out actively getting shot (oh it is good to have a new running joke).

So we’ll see if that happens. I kinda hope it does. There would be worse things than sitting around watching TV with Lucy and then debating them over wine and/or vodka.

As for the rest of what has been happening. Not sure what to tell you dear reader. I’m an outsider with the facade of being a journalist. I could go knock on doors but I won’t get any information until they decide to give it to me.

I have some theories about what is going on. I’ll write about them later. Right now Lucy and I are going to go get milk shakes. Fuck you 80 degree humid weather, we have ice cream!

Journals… diaries… | May 21st

Isabelle if you read this, thought I’d let know why this blog title is such a bad one. I got nothing but time in this bathroom to research so I hope you deal with it.

1997 movie called The Vampire Journals

Which is based on a book series with the same name!

I love the crappy vampire girl pictures on all the covers of the books. At least there isn’t wanna be historical looking clothing on them.

Then you have another book series with pretty much the same name The Vampire Diaries http://ljanesmith.net/book-collections
They are somewhere in that persons site. It has an even worse design than this one.

Then her books were turned into a very popular TV show called The Vampire Diaries. Go watch it on Hulu.. I’m sure you can afford a Hulu subscription. http://www.hulu.com/the-vampire-diaries

Those are just the most obvious references to the title of this site. I know my idea of calling it Shitting Blood was not perfect but did you have to make the name so… used? Hope you like the links!
