My life has gone to the dogs

[cosmicviolet]

Well, here's my once-a-month update. This is becoming a bad habit. I seriously need better time management skills. Things have been a little busy around here. I applied to university, and we got another dog (more on that below). I'm not really telling anyone about it in case I don't get in, so you guys are the first to know. Even though I submitted

Congrats on the applying! Your plan sounds really good. It's hard to feel good when you feel intimidated, and it sounds like you'll be able to test the waters, so to speak. Good luck! (and good luck with the door too ;))

I can't wait to see pictures of Puddles! What is LJ for if not for pet picspam? :D

That Channel Surfing vid blew me away. Totally. Fandom HIGH! Maybe because we don't get a cheesy title sequence for the show? We just get understated coolness. The Dexter one was especially perfect. I'm speechless.

From his MySpace blogs, it sounds as if Jason Manns is trying to get Jensen into the studio to record with him again. IDK. Jason has a pretty voice, and he appreciates all the attention he gets from Jensen's fans. The Rome con gives me hope. Even if Jensen sings a little bit of back-up vocals, it would be cool.

I only started watching Chuck because Brandon Routh was playing Shaw, and it is a cute show. The scene where Chuck is watching 80s movies with his friend really sold me on it too. IDK if I'll keep watching, after Shaw is gone... unless they bring him back? :D I watch too many shows. But it was cool to see so many people I recognize, like Adam Baldwin. And the Cheez Puffs thing is funny.

Ack! Now I'm going to have that song in my head every time I think of the 100th episode ;p I really felt a sigh of relief after watching that SPN milestone show. Whatever happens now, I'm cool with it. I think Adam gets cuter the more they show his freckles, and I was happier to see him back than I ever thought I would be. But gerbil-like, perhaps ;) I predict that Cas might have ended up in Heaven or Hell. In any case, major Cas whumpage, which is popular in the fandom, you might have noticed... I've wanted Dean to say Yes to Michael for a long time and I agree that there's not a super strong reason for him to say No. Dean might say Yes, and Sam too, if there is a trick involved. But that's it. I think the 100th episode flipped a switch, where now the Winchesters are united and they will never give into the angels again. They will always have a plan now where they are at least one step ahead of the angels, if only in their hearts and minds, and that right there is the big battle of the season(s) for me. It wasn't that Sam or Dean would say Yes, per se, but that they would say Yes because they didn't trust that they had a choice. For all of Dean's free will talk, he never really believed it until now. Because it wasn't about free will, it was about being the kind of person you wanted to be, if only in one person's eyes. Corny, maybe, but that is kind of a Big Deal, you know? For someone else to see you and believe you. It's what the angels can never have, and it's pretty much all Sam and Dean have at this point. They win, so they win :)

Thanks!

Hee, I guess you're right. My mom wants her own camera now so she can take thousands of photos of the dogs and show them to people. :P

That Channel Surfing vid blew me away. Totally.
Right? It's like everything that's awesome about the show condensed into one little nugget. Tastes good, and it's high fibre! (lol, IDK.)

Ooh, you should watch the rest of Chuck, it's such a great show! Like Supernatural, it does a great job of juggling humour with action and drama, which is not easy to do. Though it is decidedly lighter and with not as much manpain. But Zachary Levi is adorkable as Chuck and, come on, there's a character named Captain Awesome. How can you not love that? I think the whole show is up on Hulu, and I know Amazon has the second season at least (for free!), so you really have no excuse not to watch it. ;) Maybe over the summer, give it a look?
Also...*digs through memories*... here's a picspam I bookmarked so I could point to it and say, "This is why you should watch this."
Have I convinced you yet? :P

Because it wasn't about free will, it was about being the kind of person you wanted to be, if only in one person's eyes.
Yes, it's a great sentiment and one that I'm glad they're showing. It's nice to see that after everything, it's not about any sort of obedience to a higher power, but faith in themselves and each other that's what counts.

Yes yes! I love Captain Awesome! I forgot about him. And I didn't even know Bryce existed, so that's totes my own fault. IDK, I did watch the last episode of Chuck, and my sister keeps in on her Hulu, so I might stick with it. Thanks for the picspam link - it makes a good argument ;)

[cosmicviolet]

You're welcome! I don't remember - are you watching White Collar? Because Matthew Bomer plays a similar character to Bryce on that show. He's this former art thief who works with the FBI as a consultant. It's not quite as good as good as it could be, but it's entertaining enough. And hell, I'd follow those piercing blue eyes anywhere. :)

Oh right - I knew he looked familiar. I don't watch White Collar, but I've seen the slash appear on my flist. He is good for the looking though, yes :)
