I have to babysit tonight. Siiiigh. That was my head, Shannon.

I have Soul Music back, yaaay.

OMG the Indigo Girls are coming to Milwaukee on Monday OMG OMG OMG I love them!!! I hope tickets don't cost too much because Mum won't let me go alone and Kristen can't go if it's too expensive...

OMG!

And now, a leetle exercise for all you writer-y type people. I'm not begging. (Yet.)

Werewolf. Bitten by a vampire. Swinging madly between species. Has to be turned back into just a werewolf. So, how do you cure him?

Also. Vampire in a church. How long, in your opinion, will it take them to die, surrounded as they are by holy things?

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in with One False Step. Damn you, Sci-Fi, for putting my favourite episode on the one day I actually watch.

Ohno! Pyrae!!! 38 Minutes tonight and I won't be home!!!!! Tape for me please!!!!!!! Oh, and did you ever watch Boston Legal?

Do something that would kill a vampire but not a werewolf. Research research research.

What sort of church?

Mwahahah.

You watched it every day for at least two weeks this summer, but I will tape if I can.

Yes, yes I did. "Would you allow me to cover your body in maple syrup?" I love James Spader.

Wooden (but not silver stake) blessed by the Native Americans... or make him eat lots of garlic.

Depends on the Vampire as to how long it would take for it to die. Is it a vampire like in Carpe Jugulum (a modern one?) or it is more like Dracula? And some say that the vampires won't die until they are *touched* with the holy symbol.

I remember an obscure vampire story published in OnSpec some years ago, by some author whose initials are BB(seriously, can't remember the name beyond that). In it, a priest who was transformed into a vampire consulted his Jesuit friend for options. The Jesuit concluded that while communion wafers were anathema, nothing was ever said about communion wine, which was supposed to be the blood of Christ. They did the communion, and the vampire priest discovered that the communion wine slaked his bloodthirst. Nifty, huh?

As far as actually being in a church being fatal...generally, only the actual touch of a cross is supposed to be fatal, unless there's some increase in the magnitude of effect based on the size of said cross. Or it falls on them. :-) Sunlight through stained glass? If this is a vampire of the Buffy type, which can survive indirect sunlight, then it might be survivable unless there's a picture of a cross in the stained glass. Or there might be crosses on the end of each pew or something, making navigation hazardous.

Holy water is also bad--if you're in a church for a long time, and the holy water keeps evaporating, perhaps slow damage to the lungs based on inhalation of holy water vapour? :-)

So I don't think there's many short-term survival risks for the wary vampire in the church. Unless "consecrated ground" is a hazard, which I'm not sure about. The biggest problem might be actually feeding--many visitors would wear crosses, and it may be a well-frequented place where lots of bodies would get noticed. The confessional might work once or twice...

Oh, and I wanted to think envious thoughts about getting to see the Indigo Girls. I always forget to even find out about concerts, which is why I go to so few. Mind you, the last Indigo Girls album I really liked was "Rites of Passage"...and the last one I even own is "Shaming of The Sun".

Oye, you need to murder pyrae for making me start to do sound affects when I'm doing things. It's getting irritating....

Actually, wasn't it Hide & Seek you loved? In any case, I hit the recorder before I left last night, and the Teyla ep has appeared, so your information was wrong.
