4am ramblings.

[castalia]

I need to stop falling asleep at 8 or 9pm while reading and not waking up until 2am.

I also need to stop reading files from the Court TV site Crime Library. Yes, Casta, serial killers are interesting but reading about unsolved axe murders in New Orleans this late at night doesn't bode well for a night's sleep undisturbed by freaky dreams.

I should be reading about crab metabolism instead. Or porn, porn would be nice. Anyone got any good recent slash recs? (No McShep, plz)

You know, you are *killing* me with references to crabs. I think I love them as much as you love squid. Crabs are too adorable! I am jealous that you get to study them. *sigh*

Aw, sorry! I wish I'd thought to take some pics of them. Little tiny things, most of them.

Ahh, I used to live at Crime Library's serial killers section during my Internet insomnia a few years back. I became quite interested real life Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth Bathory, though, they're more historial mass murders than serial killers. It actually worked out, though, and I wrote a paper on Vlad for my AP Psych class in high school.

I'm ready the Vlad stuff now, and duly pondering whether a movie on his "real" life would be good or if they'd screw it up completely.

Hm... that's interesting... I really don't know. I think it would depend on who wrote and directed it. It would probably be difficult to seperate it from all the vampire stuff with which Vlad has come to be associated. When I did my paper, I put in a little section on my own speculation of certain things Vlad did in his life that have become common myth in the vampire lure.

I'm intrigued, though, I'd check out a movie about real!Vlad and hope for the best. I'd also be interested to see a movie about Elizabeth Bathory, but that one has it's worries, as well.
