Jesus, this is stupid. I want more.

Okay, so maybe I'm just in a dark place right now. But this is the thought process that has been running through my head all morning.
In a deep dive of vampire lore, I once came across a tid bit that brought up the fact that someone who exclusively drinks blood, their breath is going to be rather foul. Like, blood isn't just a source of nutrition for a vampire, or even the major source of nutrition. It is the only source of nutrition for vampires and it's just sitting there in the stomach having massive effects on the breath.
Now don't get me wrong. I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I even have a human/vampire romance in a story I just wrote. I understand the whole relationship thing, s/he's a good person in spite of their circumstances and all.
But still, how does any amount of mouth wash, teeth brushing or chomping on a tic tac make up for the picture of playing tonsil hockey with this person?

In old vampire lore, like pre-Dracula, even pre-Varney, they were just another kind of undead, so the idea of them having horrible breath just didn't stand out with them already being unholy sins against God and nature. The far more recent "sexy" vampire trends tend to leave that behind because, well, smelling like rotting blood isn't generally considered sexy. It's probably best to just not think too hard about it.
For no discernible reason, this song has been rattling around in my head for the past few days.
Put up the first of the decor for Christmas earlier, outdoor ones but found that I need to replace two of those lights because, one has stopped working and there is rust in the battery box even thou the box has a rubber seal to surpposely keep water out, the other, two of the lights are failing on a string of five, so I need to go hunting for replacements before work or during my break, if there's nothing there, I'll likely order from the web, the remaining lights which are all similar desgin, I have placed the battery boxes inside of plastic food bags as a means to keep the weather at bay
I have 1 missed phone call from... some casino?
I don't answer my phone anymore but if they call again I'll make an exception. This could be entertaining.

It's been a while. Though in 2022 I almost got a job interview with some company that abruptly vanished off the face of the Earth with no explanation, so that might have been a front for somebody.
What, rain, that's pretty much every christmas for me, far as I'm aware during my whole life, I've only had two White Christmases, one when I was very young, so its extremely vauge, I think I might of been about two at the time, the other was some years ago and that's it, it very rarely snows where I live, much of the time its rain, sun and wind!
My "Do not disturb" sign was a complete waste of money.
So, here's I little something I just happened to think of this morning. In John Wick, when we first meet Viggo, his right-hand-man is congratulating him on a successful meeting that strengthens his empire. Things are going well. They should celebrate. Meanwhile, Viggo just got off the phone with a mechanic that just as well as told him that his empire is in imminent collapse.
Maybe you should just put a sign up saying "Beware the beast within!!"? With a flip of saying "Genius at work!!" I have a Walace and Gromit one that says that, thou I'll grant that the door I hang it on, hasn't moved in years and it always open
Just get a sprinkler and rig it to a motion sensor.
The peacocks would set that off constantly though. I can't afford what that would do to my water bill.
Sometimes I have to meet Doordash drivers halfway down the driveway because they're afraid to step any closer. I guess peacocks can be a little intimidating when they're obviously in guard mode, staring at you with their dinosaur eyes.
Got some new path lights today from Amazon, set them up tomorow evening after work, also got some clips for outdoor use to attach to the garage to hang some lights on to spread the festive cheer, a little, at least when I'm in the mood as its a lot of stress for one frickin day!
