"So, where did the Creature go?"
"...it left?"
"Yeah...what would be your reaction?"
"This is bad."
"Why is Frankenstein stupid, Ms. Scint?"

No, no, Vany, this is a good thing! Now you can just say that you can't fix a stupid problem because the energy isn't right and requisition some essential oils to rub on the server or something, and management will have to accept it.Please just shoot me.

Which is about 50% more than I have on PayPal this month...

It’s like Arthur C. Clarke said: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from one of those weird mall stores that smells heavily of cheap sandalwood incense amd sells quartz at an insane markup.

"If APA had existed then, Frankenstein might not have had a plot" may be the strangest sentence I've ever uttered.
APA = American Psychological Association, or Assorted Parts of Authors?
APA = American Psychological Association, or Assorted Parts of Authors?
The former.
Tl;dr, about half of Victor's issue started with "no one told me alchemy was outdated, so I kept studying it." Since APA emphasizes the date of publication...

There is nothing half so demoralizing as "helping" my son clean out his room.
The missing silverware behind his desk.
The dirty plates in drawers.
The food stashed underneath the mattress.
Are all tween boys this feral, or am I lucky?

When I was a tween boy, I decided to try fermenting my own alcohol (I was a chemistry nerd AND a degenerate). I bottled some yeast, water, and sugar in a canteen, tightened the cap really good, and hid it under my bed.
As the CO2 built up, eventually the canteen blew up, exploding fermenting goo all over the underside of my bed. And that may not have been the most disgusting thing in my bedroom.
So yes. Children in general are vile and tween boys specifically would make a coprophage gag.
I should go call my mother and apologize.

I recall some (tea) glasses being regularly found behind (mon's) bed - which was favorite place for watching TV.
I am pretty sure that neither dirty plates were hidden in the drawers, nor had been food stashed underneath the mattress - yuck, that would be completely unpalatable to me.

Yeah, I'm pretty amazed I didn't get some horrific spore-borne brain disease between the ages of 11 and 15. I guess that which does not kill us just makes our mothers really mad and nauseous.

That which does not kill us will be cited as mitigating circumstances for the defendant in their trial for our murder.

My father woud have been ninety today.
The older my own daughter gets, the angrier I feel and the less I want to forgive him for what a terrible parent he was. It's hard to hate and love a ghost.

"The problem with calling the creature 'Frankenstein' is that it means Victor accepted him. He doesn't."
"Got it. So do we call Victor Dr. Frankenstein, then?"
"No, we call him College Dropout Frankenstein. Dr Pepper has more claim to the title."
I don't know. When your research project on bringing back the dead is itself qualified to sit on the review board, I think you've earned that doctorate.
Undergrad: Can you memorize information spoon fed from a text book?
Grad: Can you figure out what people on the forefront of a subject are telling each other in research papers?
Doctor: Can you wretch new information out of the universe itself ?

He has some of the skills and none of the ethics and understanding. There's more to earning the doctorate than "can you do the thing yes or no", and Victor is a perfect example case.
