Eeee! Guys! Entertainment Weekly this week made me SO HAPPY! Guess what their "MUST WATCH of the Week" is?? That's right, you guessed it - SUPERNATURAL!! Eeeeeeee! I always flip immediately to the "What to Watch" section when I get an EW on a Supernatural week, and check Thursday, so I did that and they weren't there - but then I looked to the left and there were our gorgeous darling Winchesters, filling half the page! YAAAAY! *twirls in circles*
I don't have a scanner, though I'm sure if it isn't online already it will be soon, but here's the text of the blurb:
It might be too much awesome for you, Super fans. Sam and Dean return from a four-week break just in time to... go on vacation. To Hollywood! (Try not to obsess about how ghostbusting leaves room in the budget for leisure travel.) While on a tour, the brothers waltz onto the set of a horror film, and it's a good thing, too, because soon there are spooky deaths! And inside jokes! And Gary Cole as a studio tool with silly script notes! And if Dean as the greatest production assistant in the history of film doesn't get ya, nothing will. B+.
Eeeee! This episode sounds like SO MUCH FUN! And the review is so snarkily positive! YAAAAY WINCHESTERS!!!
The other awesome thing in this week's EW is the new column called "The Glutton," written by a humongous sci-fi geek. This week, he listed a bunch of things that qualify you as a sci-fi geek. The first one? "You're undoubtedly a Dorkus Maximus if you have ever substituted terms like "frak" (Battlestar Galactica) and "frell" (Farscape) for actual down-to-earth curse words. Your intergalactic potty mouth should be immediately rinsed out with soap, or at the very least rinsed out with something manly like... I don't know. What do manly people drink, Jack Daniels?" And I go... uhm, I said frell half an hour ago. *facepalm* HEE. I said frak for the longest time, but now that I'm devouring Farscape, it's turned automatically into frell. And it's not even intentional! It's just a lot more fun and less obscene than actually saying fuck, so it comes out more easily. Heeheehee... I'm gonna get Dorkus Maximus tattooed on my forehead.
In conclusion, I LOVE BEING A GEEK! :D
Another cool piece of mail I got was a letter congratulating me on my selection as a recipient of the Phi Beta Kappa Scholarship Award. Wow! I didn't really know what this meant, so I googled, and got this definition of Phi Beta Kappa: Leading academic honour society in the U.S., which draws its membership from college and university students. The oldest Greek-letter society in the U.S., it was founded in 1776 as a secret literary and philosophical society at the College of William and Mary. It became an honour society in the 19th century. Membership is now based on general scholarship, and new members are usually elected by Phi Beta Kappa faculty.
Huh! How nifty! I'm trying to look around online and see what the "scholarship award" itself means, because it seems to be different from just membership. There's no straightforward definition that I've found, but it seems to be given in different areas of study. So I guess I'd be getting it in Chemistry? Regardless, how cool! :D
