Or perhaps we should say happy re-animation day.
You’re 197? Wow. You don’t look a day over dead!
Well, I don’t know if this is true, but Holidays for Today claims it’s true. And, it’s just weird enough for a random Wednesday post. Apparently March 11, 1818 is credited as being the date Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein was written. You know, I bought a copy once many years ago but found it so dull I never got very far into it. Perhaps I should try again. Anything sounds like a worthwhile endeavor compared to studying.
What’s more, it seems to me I remember watching a black and white Frankenstein movie when I was a kid. Mostly I remember it being sad for some reason. Sad, but also boring. And I remember watching the Mel Brooks/Gene Wilder Young Frankenstein more recently. And when I say more recently I mean that as in I last watched it about 25 years ago. That version I found sad too, but in the sense that someone actually wasted film on it. I can’t say I found it any more riveting than the classic flick or the book. I had some friends who adored the flick, but all I can remember is the Teri Garr roll-in-the-hay bit, “Would you like to have a roll in ze hay? It’s fun! Roll, roll, roll in ze hay!”
Sorry folks. That’s all I’ve got today. Microbiology midterm at three pm today. Need I say more?
