Quote of the Day: yumemisama, here
I need to learn more Chinese. It's a very satisfying language to be angry in. Have you ever seen the tone marks on romanized Mandarin? You could hurt yourself on diacriticals like that. Ranting in Chinese is like riding rough over a rocky mountain sentence, with bad shocks and nothing but a pile of exclamation points to stop you at the end. Whoever you're yelling at just has to hang on for dear life and hope to get through it without hitting anything flammable.

40 Days of Supernatural Meme: Day 40 - What kind of movie/tv show would you like to see Jared and Jensen star in after SPN ends?
In the efforts of not continuing with the type-casting the boys have been subect to recently - My Bloody Valentine, Devour, Friday the 13th - I'd like to see them steer clear of horror for a while. I know they enjoy action scenes, so I'll like them to have some of that in their roles, and while they both do humour amazingly well, it's dramatic scenes that make awards people and others of their ilk perk up their ears. And boy, do I want these boys to get recognition. But I guess the one thing I'd ask of a show or film I'd like to see them in is good writing and the opportunity to have good, complex, three-dimensional characters. Other than that, well, it's all good.

I need to learn more Chinese. It's a very satisfying language to be angry in. Have you ever seen the tone marks on romanized Mandarin? You could hurt yourself on diacriticals like that. Ranting in Chinese is like riding rough over a rocky mountain sentence, with bad shocks and nothing but a pile of exclamation points to stop you at the end. Whoever you're yelling at just has to hang on for dear life and hope to get through it without hitting anything flammable.
