Watch out, she's feeling spammy today

Last night I discovered something that renews my faith in a benevolent cosmos. Our satellite package comes with an all monster movie channel. This is like mainlining pure joy.

Last night I got to see two of my favorite* B vampire movies, Subspecies II and Subspecies III. Anders Hove covered in latex, drooling corn syrup with every line...HOT! So hot in fact that he threatens Richard O'Brien in Rocky for his place at the pinnacle of hotness, which is nearly impossible. I'm sad I missed Hove's run on General Hospital, but it wouldn't have been the same without the latex and corn syrup anyway.

So, after three hours of vampires having domestic disputes, I have come to two conclusions:

1) Romanian is a gorgeous language, and I bring shame to my house by not knowing any. I should remedy that.

2) I need to write something with vampires, since it's been so long since I've read a vampire book I really liked. This is a big impetus to finish Prayers, actually, since there's a potential spin-off book with Holly the Ghoul and vampires.

*For our big creative writing assignment my junior year, I shamelessly rewrote Subspecies with a happy ending. It concentrated cheese in novella form, and I got an A. Sadly, all the files are lost. I'm now seriously wondering if I could redo it with 99% less...err...suck. As it were.

Is there a geologist in the house?

Help! I'm trying to blow up a volcano, and running into some lack-of-knowledge snags.

My volcano is modeled on Mount Nyiragongo. It has the same lava lake and unusually fluid magma. What I need, in addition to lava flows, is a nasty plinian eruption--not quite Vesuvian in scale, but enough to fuck up a nearby town and give me a nice apocalyptic rain of ash. Am I correct in guessing that a volcano like Nyiragongo would not do that? Am I also correct in guessing that a flank eruption could?

Cookies and a spot in the acknowledgments page await you if you can help!

I just bought a Radu doll. The internets love me and want me to be happy. I wish Full Moon had made a Michelle doll--I would pose them on my desk and occasionally act out vampiric domestic disputes.

When I have $60 to spend on the Subspecies DVD box set, my joy will be truly boundless.

Umm. I'll try to stop spamming LJ now. No promises, though--I'm really hyper.

Dracula 2000 is a lot funnier if you replace all the dialogue with some variation of "Spaaarta?" Many movies probably are.
