The Dracula Tape Quotes

First dog watch, 4 bells (6:14 pm)

I mentioned earlier that I would quote a few bits from The Dracula Tape, Fred Saberhagen does such a wonderful job conveying the count in a way I’ve never read before.

I had expected Harker’s natural curiosity at these events to break forth at once in questions…

(referring to Dracula’s disguising himself as a coachman to drive Harker to his castle and leaving the carriage to mark the locations of the blue flames)
He continues:

What I had not reckoned with was the—in this case—damnable English propensity for minding one’s own business, which in my opinion Harker carried to lengths of great absurdity, even for a discreet and tactful young solicitor.

Cross Dressers in Home Depot
Posted in Dreams
Forenoon watch, 4 bells (10:13 am)

I had this weird dream last night. I went to Home Depot and the people that worked there were mad at me because the last time I was there (with Lorien’s uncle Scott), he bought some wood and returned it after spraying something on it, which caused them a lot of trouble. At first I said I had no idea what they were talking about, then remembered the trip with Scott and said it was him, not me.

Then I was reading their sales flyer while three guys in women’s clothes were trying to get attention. I made it a point to ingore them, but there was a skinny black guy in a purple dress that was just ridiculous, and they were very noisy.

That’s about where I woke up.
