Chastity Beds

I have departed my home and I am now staying in a resort 2 ½ hours away. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally loving this, but still. I’m lurking around here at 11:30 at night (Yes, that is the current time) with no Internet watching a mediocre movie called “Van Helsing.” I’m making up for my separation from all the world but the people that I’m staying with by typing this blog post up to post later. At any rate, on with the post. (Would I like to use the word “post” a couple more times?)

So, the resort. We (that is, my family and I) are staying in a resort with my father’s old college roommate. He has a daughter about my age and that is who I am sharing the living room with. The step up of the rooms where we are staying is this: A living room with a tiny kitchenette off of it. Then, two bedrooms connecting to the living room, one with a double bed, one with two single beds. Two bathrooms, one next to each bedroom, complete the floor plan. It is about the room with the two single beds (my parents room) that I plan to talk about next.

If you look back in the history of film it goes roughly like this:

1. The silent movie.

2. The movie with very rough sound.

3. The black and white movie complete with the film code.

Now, the film code was pretty much the moral compass of movies for a very long time, until it was repealed sometime after color was invented. Pretty much, the film code said no nudity, no sex, no gory death scenes. The complete opposite of most (if not all) movies directed at anybody above the age of 8. Another little nuance of the film code was beds called chastity beds. These were the only beds that were only shown in bedrooms, even in married couple’s rooms. My parent’s room has chastity beds. This entertains me far more than it should.

Greg, my father’s old roommate, has the ability to make friends with pretty much anybody with just a few words. He’s kind of like Naruto in that way (and only in that way.) And here’s a story about this. The last time we went on a vacation with them, all of us went to go see Batman: The Dark Night when it first came out. Now, apparently the air conditioning wasn’t working in the theatre we were in. I didn’t notice this, mostly because I was too enthralled with the many explosions on the screen, but others were not quite so entertained by these. So Greg went and talked to the manager of the theatre and got us all tickets to not one, but two other films. I still don’t know how he did it.

At any rate, I’m off to continue watching “Van Helsing” which is actually really good. Vampire trying to kill things (and sometimes succeeding), Vampires walking straight up walls, Vampires dying, sexual tension. Fun stuff. Count Dracula is overly dramatic in this movie. “I’m at war with the world!!” etc. He also has 3 wives (2 now. Van Helsing killed one.) At any rate, I’m off to continue watching this movie (and maybe write a fan fiction.) Have a good day.
