Stephin Merritt was wrong

I've decided that Stephin Merritt was definitely wrong when he said:

the dead only quickly decay
they don't go about being born and reborn
and rising and falling like soufflé
It's my experience with Resident Evil and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem that the dead in fact do rise and fall like soufflé (particularly when you chop their heads off).

The videogames that I've been playing lately (namely Resident Evil and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem) have had two very strong themes:

I don't think I could ever live or stay the night in a Mansion ever. They're way too scary! And all the problems with zombies and blood-sucking Demons and creepy tomes bound in flesh and bone that my ancestors collected... it's just not worth it anymore.

My summer class is over tomorrow and I've kicked its ass soooo hard. I think it'd be next to impossible for me to not get an A.

Jesse gets home tonight. I've missed him. I can't wait to hear how his tour went.

Tonight at 8:00 I'm going to watch this pyramid-mummy-ancient-stuff-the-learning-channel show at Megan's. We've been waiting all week for this. It's nice to know that I'm not the only dork in this relationship.
