Pop culture critic, Omni-disciplinary nerd, High-functioning vampire. Thursday, March 27, 2014. Hungry Vampires and Vampires That Just Want to Live. These days, the vampiric need for blood tends to be portrayed as an uncontrollable and all-consuming hunger. On a genre level, the vampiric hunger just seems to keep on getting worse. Here are a lot of other common threads:. Take the cake, here: their Vampires don’t even need blood to live at all. In Being Human. It’s basically an addiction that they h...

Pop culture critic, Omni-disciplinary nerd, High-functioning vampire. Thursday, May 9, 2013. Historical Apologism – Apologize For No One. A stroll down Memory Lane. Can we judge historical people by the standards of our times? It’s a popular topic of discussion amongst high school and college students the world over. I know, because I get into conversations like that all the damn time. In the vampire community, it’s a hot-button political issue that has never been resolved. Young adults in any era. I gre...

Pop culture critic, Omni-disciplinary nerd, High-functioning vampire. Sunday, November 24, 2013. What is This Thing You Call Boredom? One of the standard objections to mass immortality is that if we lived a long time, we’d be bored. Obviously, I have plenty of objections to that:. 1 “So – boredom is a fate worse than death? Flickr user Julie Edgley. 2 “Seriously – you'd really rather die than be bored? Wouldn't that disqualify you from half of all jobs? Trigger warning for suicide). You wouldn't get a su...

http://nevermedia.blogspot.com/2012/05/titanic-life-story.html
Pop culture critic, Omni-disciplinary nerd, High-functioning vampire. Sunday, May 13, 2012. There are countless stories about immortals, Vampires, and long-lived fantasy races. How many stories are there about human centenarians? Http:/ www.silverwhistle.co.uk/fanfic/ficpics/ElvenWallpaper.jpg. Really, how many honest-to-gosh, non-supernatural centenarian humans are there in fiction? Or is that just what Hollywood thinks? How often are older characters ever protagonists? Look at Gramps forget things and ...

Pop culture critic, Omni-disciplinary nerd, High-functioning vampire. Friday, August 3, 2012. Defending the Indefensible: The Little Mermaid Introduction. Http:/ media.photobucket.com/image/recent/disneyhush/194lilmer-00626.jpg. Is the first Disney Animated Canon film I liked (except Fantasia. This puts me in an awkward position because I can usually see both sides, and find myself drifting towards the excluded middle. There are patterns in most of my opinions on media:. And honestly, if a good message w...

NeverMedia: Lestat's Evil Overlord List
http://nevermedia.blogspot.com/2012/03/lestathas-become-something-of.html
Pop culture critic, Omni-disciplinary nerd, High-functioning vampire. Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Lestat's Evil Overlord List. Lestat has become something of a villainous icon for us pop culture types, especially as a sire. Not an icon for abusive siring – that honor goes to Lucien LaCroix from Forever Knight. Lestat is more of an icon for staggeringly irresponsible siring. Http:/ images2.fanpop.com. How’s this for a smart strategy:. After killing two people in front of him, nearly killing him (really, I can...

NeverMedia: February 2013
http://nevermedia.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Pop culture critic, Omni-disciplinary nerd, High-functioning vampire. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. I don’t mind being called a bloodsucker. It’s not insulting; it’s descriptive: I am a bloodsucker. Literally. Calling me a bloodsucker would be like saying it to a flea – it’s just a simple reference to their feeding habits for good or ill. And I can’t even spread disease like a flea: I win! Although, I suppose you could try applying that one to me. I don't like you either, Ayn Rand. We’re also a group...

http://nevermedia.blogspot.com/2012/07/president-vampire-hunter-possibilities_19.html
Pop culture critic, Omni-disciplinary nerd, High-functioning vampire. Thursday, July 19, 2012. President Vampire Hunter: Possibilities (Part Two). Seth Grahame-Smith decided Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter needed a framing story. And the framing story is about ALVH, the story. Why the fuck-hell do you need a framing story for this? Throughout, different nineteenth-century activists and/or or modern historians read this journal in real time. Maybe the historians debate the journal’s validity and pol...

NeverMedia: Deathism and Music: If I Die Young Lyrics Fisking
http://nevermedia.blogspot.com/2013/03/deathism-and-music-if-i-die-young.html
Pop culture critic, Omni-disciplinary nerd, High-functioning vampire. Monday, March 18, 2013. Deathism and Music: If I Die Young Lyrics Fisking. If I die young bury me in satin. Lay me down on a bed of roses. Sink me in the river at dawn. Send me away with the words of a love song. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. If I die young/put me into cryo/. Lay me down/so I can be frozen…um? I just can’t personally relate to it. So yeah – imagining my elaborately decorated deathbed isn’t all that comforting. For another thing, it...
