And I changed my name to Anne because I didn’t want to go through life being Howard. - Anne Rice

My dad and mother thought that was a great idea, it was my dad’s name, he didn’t like it. Everybody called him Mike. But he thought, you know, we’ll name this girl Howard and she’ll have a head start in life and it’ll be marvelous for her. Well, as soon as I got to first grade I changed it to Anne. (...) When [the nun] said: “What is your name, little girl?” or whatever, I said Anne. And my mother, being as crazy then as she had been in my baptism, said “Well, if she wants to be Anne, she’s Anne.” - Anne Rice

The Dumbest Post I Ever Have or Will Ever Make

"That’s a pretty table. Oh, you rank materialist, be done with tables, and be gone on your filthy errand. What if some ruthless enterprising individual did a catalog of all the furniture you have personally described in your Vampire Chronicles, then what, I’ll tell you what, that would put you to shame, you avaricious, shameless, hoarding, ever-hungry Seven Deadly Sin Committing fiend, what did Louis once say to you, that you made a junk shop of eternity?" - Lestat, Blood Canticle

...

... I mean, I'm an enterprising individual...

...

A Catalog of Every Table Lestat Describes In The Vampire Chronicles Prior to This Quote from Blood Canticle:

"Supper Table" in his childhood home that he likes to sit at and "reflect that everyone there was eating what I had provided." (TVL pt1 ch2) "The table, the great long table fashioned in the time of the Crusades." (QotD pt3 ch1)

Table in a "little wooden room" laid for him in the tavern in Auvergne (TVL pt1 ch4)

A "crude little wooden table" holding a bottle of cold white wine in Magnus's tower (TVL pt2 ch2)

Tables in Nicki's apartment covered in pictures and "other small possessions—coins, money, keys." (TVL pt4 ch5)

The "long narrow table of my little dressing room," "the marble dressing table." (TVL pt 4 ch6)

At Marius's, "Nicki’s violin and my valise of belongings lay on a stone table in the middle of the room." (TVL pt7 ch1)

On the streets of Miami, "candles flickered on the white-draped tables of the open-porch restaurants." (TotBT Ch1)

Raglan's townhouse has "many ornaments gracing glass tables and inlaid teak cabinets." (TotBT ch 10)

They discuss the body swap while a "a single bulb in a handsome copper fixture flooded the table between us with a soft rosy illumination, which lent a deceiving coziness to the scene." (TotBT ch10)

When he orders room service, a "linen-draped table, laden with food", into the living room of the suite" arrives (TotBT ch12)

Back in New Orleans with David at the hotel, they "settled at a quiet white-draped table in the corner of the vast old-fashioned room with its fancy plaster ceiling and white silk draperies, and commenced to devour an enormous New Orleans breakfast of eggs, biscuits, fried meats, gravy, and thick buttery grits." (TotBT ch19)

He and David are in a room with a "wicker dressing table" with only "one lamp" on it for Lestat's attempts at seduction (TotBT ch20)

In Grenada, "The dark cafe was cool inside with only a few brightly painted tables and straight-back chairs." (TotBT ch21)

The cruise ship has: "a sprawling lounge area of small cocktail tables," "an indoor pool around which hundreds lunched at large circular tables," "tables for blackjack and roulette." (TotBT ch21&22)

The cabins have, "a small sitting area with pale tastefully shaped little couch, coffee table, and upholstered chair. A great glass wall with sliding doors opened upon these small private porches, which were wide enough to contain a table and chairs of their own." (TotBT ch21)

Lestat also mistakes the locker Raglan James is using as a coffin for a table,"as it was almost entirely draped with a decorative cloth." (TotBT ch21)

There is a table in the bedroom they break fighting Raglan, leaving it "battered and broken" (TotBT ch22&23)

In Hell, "around the table under the lamp a dozen people argued over the map, some embracing each other as they pointed to various areas marked in dull colors" (MtD ch21)

At Blackwood Farm, "the middle of the dining room table was being draped and set for supper" (BC ch5)

The Talamasca retreat house has a "long black granite table, with a mess of linen and heavy old silver." I stopped to examine the silver carefully." (BC ch10)

The same house has a "a round glass-top wicker table" at the conservatory. (BC ch10)

Same house, "sweet yellow and red flowers adorned the demi-lune tables" (BC ch10)

"Look ma! No Tables!" - Lestat in Blood Canticle, before he goes on to describe, no kidding, like 14 more tables.

Also, Bonus Tables from Memnoch:

“And what are those?” Louis asked. He squeezed my arm, bending close. “Lestat, what are the times tables?” “Oh, you know, the way they used to teach them multiplication in those days, they must have sung it in the classrooms, two times two makes four, two times three makes six, two times four makes eight… isn’t that how it goes … They’re singing it.”

According to the CDC, in 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening. Drowning does not look like drowning—Dr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guard’s On Scene magazine, described the Instinctive Drowning Response like this:

“Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.

Drowning people’s mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people’s mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.

Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water’s surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.

Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.

From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people’s bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.”

This doesn’t mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isn’t in real trouble—they are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the Instinctive Drowning Response, aquatic distress doesn’t last long—but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.

Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:

Head low in the water, mouth at water level

Head tilted back with mouth open

Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus

Eyes closed

Hair over forehead or eyes

Not using legs—vertical

Hyperventilating or gasping

Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway

Trying to roll over on the back

Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder

So if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks OK—don’t be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don’t look like they’re drowning. They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, “Are you all right?” If they can answer at all—they probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. And parents—children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

I love Interview with the Vampire as the concept of the actions of those in history living on to effect the people hundreds and even thousands of years after these actions were made, foundation on foundation continuing to mold the layers above it.

In turn the vampires in this universe literally acting as direct forces on new modern people, in the 1790s, in the 1910’s in the 40’s in the 70’s in the 2000’s—the mistakes and horrors of the past literally creating the mistakes and horrors of the present.

Where a generation isn’t twenty years above you but the Roman Empire of Julius Ceaser meeting and interacting with children of the Renaissance, and a man of the Renaissance returning to become a part of the world again as turbulence and violence overturns the old systems in France.

The roots of the 18th century continuing to impact the 20th century—it is not enough to erase the impact and horror of all that occurred in the 1700s. Pushing forward toward progress and yet death and stagnation continue to haunt the streets of New Orleans.

A group of vampires from many different time periods—and yet all out of this time, participated in the attempted killing of three people of the 20th century—and succeed in killing two. For daring to push against them, for daring to resist, to attempt to leave behind rules created before anyone on the stage had been born. The evil of the past is inescapable—it will find you.

And even the events as far back as Egypt of 6000 years ago can rise again and find anyone and everyone in the modern day. Space and time is a domino chain that everyone is unlucky enough to be at the very end of, and the only way to escape it is to become a still living embodiment of the butterfly that flapped its wings.
