Reality Bypass

What makes an Urban Fantasist? September 2, 2009

I promise there will be a review of the book I read by tommorow, unfortunately today was spent wading through some Literary Theory and preparing my first commentary on it, which means I’m fairly wiped out. However, to relax, I decided to pop over to my netflix queue and see what was on the instant and I spotted The Munsters. It was another moment where I could look back at my writerly origins and realize there was always something that attracted me to the “Not Quite so Normal” in my entertainment. As a kid, the Munsters was one of my favorite shows: probably because it had those scary creepy monsters but with that air of comedy that made them more human than the humans around them. I think that’s where some of the true genious was in that show, the subtle commentary on the nature of monsters which I feel a lot of Urban Fantasy tends to touch on as well. Where do the Monsters Start and the Humans end? Is there a difference?

Anyway it’s time for me to crawl into bed, to start another day tommorow. 8 months and counting…. until the classwork for the PHD is done.
