Dear Sam Winchester,
YOU HAVE ME AGAIN.
You guys! That's what I needed! The longing for a "normal" life, for a FUTURE. [And/OR a willingness to go down guns blazing in lieu of that.] The pathos of all that in those puppy dog eyes! Also, there was the continuity of the brown Carharrt hoodie. And at 26 min. the boys sneaking around the corner, with the doot-de-doot and Sam's little face! [Perhaps you'd have to live in my brain to remember this 30 second bit I'm talking about.] Also, the mix in this episode of funny and ouchie-ouch-ouchie. But grounded, in spite of the fantastic premise/genre, if you know what I mean.
Also, next week, HIGH SCHOOL.
In other news, I don't even know what to say about how crazy-busy my life is of late, and for the indefinite future. My advisor did give me the pat on my head that I needed today when I told her that I'm putting a moratorium on me going to conferences or thinking about publishing until I'm done with my qualifying exams (in September). Seven months and the whole shape of my life changes! In the meantime I am attempting to practice imposing arbitrary order (waking up early, going to the gym faithfully, personal ritual, etc.) in addition to "real" obligations in the hopes that there will some precedent of self-regulated structure in my life so that I don't end up just gibbering at my cats hermit-style when I'm dissertating.
In short, I am working so hard for the cause of balance and sanity, I hope it pays off! (Also, why is it so difficult?)
God damn, I almost just went and finally paid up so I could use one of my defunct Sammy icons with this post. But I am lazy. And there is Boreanaz.
Just say no to more Clana! Ack ack ack! I mean, I LIKE ninja!Lana but I am done with this! And where the heck is Lois?!!?
But um, now I go back for the rest of my allotted snuggling time.
