29 Let’s Read Dracula Like a Fujoshi — How Sweet Was Lucy Today?

I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is, I got a contract to copy edit a gay porno. The bad news is it’s a rush job so the next week and a half are going to be exhausting, but I’m going to do my best to keep up with Dracula. Dropping one raunchy gay porno to read another! This is the good life.

And yes, if your dream in life is to proofread gay pornos, you can do it too! But you shouldn’t because I want those jobs, thank you.

August 9th is another cutting from The Daily Graph (The Dailygraph?) so I’m going to summarize this guy again because his editors are letting him get away with murder.

28 Let’s Read Dracula Like a Fujoshi — Correspondent Shut-the-Fuck-Up Challenge

I’m really excited to finally get to chapters where Mina pastes things into her journal because I love making my journal into a scrapbook. Of course my “journal” is actually more like a daily planner, but having a small space where I can log events in bullet-point form if needed makes the whole process of keeping a journal much less daunting. That said, I love whenever I can have paper tickets to movies and shows to tape in. The more my planner can look like a scrapbook, the better.

This entry also reminds me that, for all the time I spent giving Stoker shit about never having weather, we have succeeded in having weather on the Demeter, and now here off the coast of Whitby. I guess a novel about a boat and a seaside town would be boring without weather since that’s all sailors and seaside people care or talk about, as you can see from this whole blog so far.

So yes, the following section is a cutting from The Daily Graph, which Mina has pasted into her journal.

HOLD THE PHONE, my copy of Dracula says that the paper is The Dailygraph. WHICH IS IT, DRACULA DAILY?

27 Let’s Read Dracula Like a Fujoshi — Mina the Folklorist

All right we’re back on track now! Just in time for our brief period of summer sun to give way to a forecast of two weeks of rain. Here’s hoping nobody else dies.

In other news I was reminded that I blogged here in…entry 5, 100 years ago that I bought This is How You Lose the Time War after some internet shenanigans. I thought you should know that I tried reading it and didn’t like it at all. I bought it because I love Trigun, I couldn’t finish it because I don’t like Trigun: Stampede.

One more piece of important news that I’m sure you don’t want to miss: Scruffy McFluffers, my foster cat, has finally gotten his shave. I’ve been trying to get it for him since the spring because he gets so terribly matted.

I tried to post a before and after photo but WordPress thinks my photos are too nice and huge and won’t upload them, so I guess you’ll have to just subscribe to my Patreon to see my very fluffy cat all naked.

Maybe it’s not smart to talk about cats on this blog because I will not shut up about cats.

Meanwhile, Mina is fretting about her fiancé again. Her wife is about to get a husband and it’ll be all wrong if they ruin the symmetry.

26 Let’s Read Dracula Like a Fujoshi — Accidentally a Deluxe Post

I fucked up. I thought the next few entries would be short ones about the Demeter and not some long-ass shit with Mina. Crap! I was busy being stressed about work, paying rent, and making memories in real life.

Well time for a deluxe entry. Sorry in advance.

25 Let’s Read Dracula Like a Fujoshi — I Made Another Map

Ahoy, to the Demeter!

Demeter entries have been pretty small so far so I saved up the last few to read them all at once. I also don’t find these logs particularly horny, but maybe that is because I’m not strong enough yet as a fujoshi. I have to level up.

24 Let’s Read Dracula Like a Fujoshi — Mina and her Harem

It’s been a hard week and I’ve been working my ass off and next week is gonna suck too! It’s getting late and I’ve had a cider and the cats have had enough of waiting for dinner so I’m going to try to get through the past two entries as fast and as horny as possible, let’s go.

23 Let’s Read Dracula Like a Fujoshi — I Drew a Map! Kind of

So since my last post we had a bit of flooding here (four people went missing from their waterlogged vehicles and haven’t been found) and, after the fires in June I can’t wait to see what’s next. Luckily, the premier assures us it’s not the time to talk about climate change, so I guess it has nothing to do with that. What a relief!

In the meantime things are getting spicy on the Demeter again.

22 Let’s Read Dracula Like a Fujoshi — Build-Your-Own Foodchain Part 2

I meant to write and post this yesterday (July 19th) but it was a long day and I was extremely tired and I didn’t get very far in my reading. I had a job test early in the day and was social all evening, which was tiring as an introvert, but it was good.

21 Let’s Read Dracula Like a Fujoshi — Lord Byron Sounds Like a Cunt

After a brief flirtation with sunshine it’s raining in Nova Scotia again. These bonus posts take so goddamn long that I left the intro for last and now I can’t think of anything to write. OH WAIT, I KNOW. A bunch of bugs have appeared in my house and I thought they were roaches, but they aren’t. The pest guy was delighted to inform me of this good news and did nothing for the bugs because he didn’t know what they were.

Dracula Daily resumes soon so here’s the bonus post I promised!
