Three things make a post

[yuuago]

☆ Received a package in the mail today, and man, am I ever happy about it. I'd ordered some earrings, and I'm so glad they arrived before my vacation. See, I used to wear looong beaded earrings all the time Back In The Day, but had to give it up because it always hurt my ears, since they'd never been pierced properly. But, now that I had them redone and they have been healed perfectly for a while now, I want to start wearing that kind of thing again, because I like them so much. *_* Next I'll probably try getting my hands on something like this... maybe not those exact ones, they're a little bit TOO long for frequent wear, but yes.

☆ Watched the 1931 version of Frankenstein last night. I've never seen that one before - there are in fact a lot of classic horror films that I've never watched. This one, well, it's pretty easy to see why it's a classic. Sure, it's kind of cheesy by modern standards, but it's still pretty impressive; I liked it a lot. And I think I want to re-read the novel. The film took many departures, of course, and I think I liked the film's ending better, though I don't remember the novel clearly enough to be absolutely certain. I do know that at times I felt quite... sympathetic for the monster. Also, confession: there's this one scene, directly when the reanimated monster is introduced, when the light hits him just so and he's... bizarrely attractive?? щ(◉Д◉щ) I DON'T KNOW - I'll put it down to good lighting + Boris Karloff having very striking features under all that makeup.

☆ I just remembered that the Vic Theatre exists. Ahhhh <3 Yesss I'm totally looking forward to going to see something there when I'm in Victoria. It reminds me so much of the theatre down in Wolfville (I really wish I had gone to more films/plays/concerts there than I did; it was so nice, I should have made the time). I wish we had something like that up here, but Fort Mac isn't really... artsy enough to support a small independent theatre. In fact, I feel like we're barely big enough to support the cinema that we do have, pf. Ah, well....

So, your comment about Frankenstein reminded me of an artist I follow who recently read the novel...and then went into a spiral of shippy fanart (which other people have added to by writing fic.) Anyway...you might be amused by some of the entries in her Frankenfiction tag.

I really should get around to reading that one of these days.

I clicked the link AND IT WAS PASCALLE LEPAS OH MY GOSH KIRALY I DID NOT EXPECT IT TO BE HER

I <3 Pascalle Lepas. I am so delighted to read this tag now! :D

(this is ginger, btw)

Haha, yes, Pascalle is great! Her Frankenfiction stuff is pretty hilarious, hopefully you'll enjoy it. (Also, hello Ginger! You keep finding me in different parts of the internet, hehe.)

Mmmmmm long beaded earrings. ^^ At first when you described the long earrings, I'd imagined those like Howl wears in Howl's Moving Castle (so not quite as long or beaded) https://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/5484514/il_570xN.344174382.jpg .

Is the Victoria theatre for musical theatre and plays and such, or for films? Either sounds delightful.

And oh my heck, Kiraly, I NEED TO SEE THIS FRANKENSTEIN FAN ART YUSSS

[yuuago]

OH MAN now I want some like those ones, too. (Admittedly, partially just because I love Howl. I should re-watch that film.)

Hmmm as far as I know, the Vic theatre is only for cinema. But the one that I went to when I was living in Nova Scotia was a combined cinema + stage theatre/concert hall. Best thing everrr. <3
