It was a shock to walk out of the airport into the lovely northeast winter. I seriously don't think I will ever like it. (And anyone who tells me BUT THE WINTER SPORTS YAY! should prepare for a death stare. Give me 12 hours of sunlight and temperatures that never dip below freezing.) I may be slightly grumpy still.
HOWEVER. As I was waiting for my flight in Chiang Mai, I watched part of a Thai TV shows with vampires. I found this extremely intriguing and one of my new life goals is to find this show and watch it. Something I have wondered for awhile is how do you defeat a vampire in a non-Christian context? Would a cross still work? I have never really found this dealt with (admittedly my engagement with vampire lit is very cursory), except in Cassandra Clare's series that I cannot currently remember the name of. I read it for the extreme teenage angst. But I found it really interesting because one of the characters becomes a vampire and it is hard for him because he was Jewish and that was important to him and he could no longer say God's name. I wanted to see this explored more, but that intriguing story line was passed over in favor of the angst of the main characters who are Separated Due to Possibly Being Siblings ZOMG. It was intense. I laughed a lot, although I probably wasn't supposed to.
It's supposed to storm tomorrow. I feel very woeful about this.
