Two weeks and a day, give or take, until the Supernatural season 3 premiere. I almost feel ready to start counting down the minutes. This television drought is killing me people. I can't seem to get excited about anything but our show, not new ones, not returning ones, nothing. My brain is on this weird, 'all SPN all the time' loop. It's ummmm mostly frustrating.
Well, that and the fact that I have to read about class actions tonight. And not the actual suits themselves, no, rather the procedure of putting them together in federal court. I know this is important information but boy is it boring.
Have spent a chunk of the day finalizing plans to attend the SPN et al con in Chicago in November. Can I just say how pissed I am that Creation takes advantage of fans the way it does? Yes, I recognize their right to make money by providing a product but it's just so skeevy. Fans love things and because of that fans are willing to spend outrageous amounts of money. We're a consumer society, it is what it is. So the people at Creation decide that they'll provide fans with various opportunities and then charge them an arm and a leg knowing full well that the fans will shell out the cash. It just, it all bothers me on a level that isn't easily articulable. And yet that hasn't stopped me from participating. It's a vicious cycle.
But I'm so totally not letting that tiny annoyance harsh my squee. Because the love. OMG, the love. *happy sigh*
Wore my fabulous new red kitten-heels to class yesterday whereupon they immediately proceeded to tear the crap out of the backs of my heels. ow. Still so totally worth it, though. Got a compliment on my good taste and everything. So I consider that a win, even if my feet don't. ;-)
