guess it's possible that i've been a bit distracted & the directions for me are a lot less in demand
i downloaded all the eps of glee last night and have watched the first 3 so far. really enjoying the show
i have a total crush on mr. schuster [but hate his fucking bitch of a wife], want all of emma's clothes, shoes and her hair please, think finn is the cutest dumb jock around, want to lick puck's chest [helloooo nip ring!], find kurt and mercedes adorable, and rachel hilarious. will share more after i've seen the remaining eps
a recent tweet by bryonybrynn reminded me that i should really enforce a strict policy re: replying to comments. i.e. i should respond to everything within a week at the latest. WTF, SELF. i had an entire month's worth of comments to catch up on, which is just unacceptable *breaks bottle on own head a la natalie portman*1 but i've finally replied to everything so the lj tag in my inbox is all cleared up now! FLIST, I AM SO SORRY FOR BEING THIS TARDY. but a HUGE thanks to absolutely EVERYONE that responded to this post of mine, and gave me the confidence to keep sharing recs and feedback. i ♥ you all.
anyway, i kinda wanna go back to watching glee [and perhaps i'll manage to even scan the recent polaroids i took] so i'm going to leave you with a meme, two awesome words, recs, and linkspam.

and third, recs & linkspam:
FIC RECS
i read harry/draco for the first time in months. it was muchos..funos? [heh sorry for butchering the lingo].
1) scratching the itch
: h/d from hd_career_fair. completely hilarious! draco's scathing remarks put a huge smile on my face even when he was being a total git, and i adored how harry brought him down a peg and solved the 'mystery' so effortlessly.
2) the wishbox
: draco/pansy, draco/blaise, possible harry/draco. from ownficfest. i recced this on quibbler_report and wanted to mention it here as well. the story has a very interesting premise, that had me intrigued from start to finish. i loved draco's characterisation, and the way in which his desires changed. the ending felt a tad abrupt, but i still really liked reading this fic, and would love to see more.
3) untitled by pandarus: sam/dean/bela. this is a wip but zomg perhaps we can persuade the author to finish it soon? features bodyswap, wincest, threesome, sex magic AND bela talbot. reads like a recipe for SCORCHING HOT SMUT, Y/Y?
4) we belong to each other by loolookitty
: wincest. here's some tender wee!cest for you lot. it's sweet and innocent, yet downright filthy at the same time. good combination.
5) running with scissors by venacavaa
: wincest. what a beautiful fic. i love what the author did here - describing patterns of warnings and admonishments, with dean always being aware of his hypocrisy but still looking out for sammy. the most amazing part is the way all of that acts as a prelude to them being together, being in love.
i urge ALL artists to try their hand at the meme that today's art rec is from. pick your fave ship[s] from any of your fandoms and fill it out!
ART RECS
1) kiss meme by spacefragments

2) supernatural episode descriptions: here are the summaries for eps 5x07 to 5x10. they all sound so exciting!
5x07
"The Curious Case of Dean Winchester," airs Oct. 29: "When a 25-year-old man drops dead of old age and a 60-something man goes missing, only to turn up young and extremely healthy, the Winchesters investigate and discover a backroom poker game where players gamble to win or lose years of their lives. Guest stars Jim Beaver as ‘Bobby Singer,’ Chad Everett as ‘Older Dean,’ Hal Ozsan as ‘Patrick’ and Pascale Hutton as ‘Lia.’ Sera Gamble wrote the teleplay for 'The Curious Case of Dean Winchester' based on a story by Sera Gamble & Jenny Klein."
Note: Jim Beaver talks a bit about Bobby's story line in "The Curious Case of Dean Winchester" in this interview.
5x08
"Changing Channels," airs Nov. 5: "When Sam and Dean find themselves living their lives on what appear to be TV shows, it makes for a whole new style of reality television and they wonder if the Trickster (guest star Richard Speight, Jr.) is to blame. From a sitcom to a soapy hospital drama to a Japanese game show to a crime procedural, each new experience they encounter is more bizarre than the next and they want out. But is the Trickster really the mastermind behind the madness? Also starring Misha Collins as ‘Castiel.’ 'Changing Channels' was written by Jeremy Carver and directed by Charles Beeson."
5x09
"The Real Ghostbusters," airs Nov. 12: "Super-fan Becky (guest star Emily Perkins) tricks Sam and Dean into attending a 'Supernatural' fan convention, complete with fans dressed up as Sam and Dean."
5x10
"Abandon All Hope," airs Nov. 19: "Sam, Dean and Castiel track down the Colt and head off to find Lucifer to send him back to Hell. It’s a hunters’ reunion when the crew joins forces with Bobby (Jim Beaver), Ellen (guest star Samantha Ferris) and Jo (guest star Alona Tal) for what could be their last night on Earth."
As noted in this post, Mark Sheppard guest stars in "Abandon All Hope" as a "pivotal" crossroads demon named Crowley. The episode was written by Ben Edlund and directed by Phil Sgriccia.
After "Abandon All Hope," that's it for 2009 episodes. The show returns in 2010 with more apocalypt-y adventures.
