My thoughts for the day

[mercurialwater]

It's V-Day. Everyone and their mother seems to be pointing it out, posting on it, or pointedly ignoring it. I mean, I guess it makes sense, since the holiday's ubiquitous and all. If you're in America today, there's no way to escape it. Fortunately, I have managed to break free of the social brainwashing coming at me from all corners (buy a

Humpty is an apt allegory for numerous politicians, I just like picking on Nixon the most. If you'd like, we could start some sort of bizarre seminar wherein a full faculty is assembled to impart factoids of America(na) to you - starting from 1951.

I can think of a few people off hand who would relish such responsibility.

It is good that you pair single women with Deano, the Ginormitron and the fuzzy feelings they incite. Hand in hand really. (have you seen 'Jus in Bello' yet???)

Rambo's... Rambo's not real?!?! I feel like a small part of me has died.

Speaking of which, did you see the survey where a majority of Brits questioned thought Sherlock Holmes actually lived and Ghandi was fictional? I think everyone needs this seminar.

However, if my lovely friends would be willing to take the time to impart these jewels of wisdom, I do think it would prove most... helpful.

I just finished watching Jus in Bello-literally. WOW I love where they're going with the moral ambiguity and Lilith and I was horribly amused by how hung up Deano was on The Last Virgin in Colorado (TM). It was indeed awesomeness personified.

Except for the part where Henriksen got 'sploded. That is lacking in awesome.

Actually, I thought that that too was pretty awesome. I didn't like that he had to die, but the show made a point. Fear Lilith.

[mercurialwater]

Actually, it made two points. One, fear Lilith- she'll kill the people you worked to save. Two, Sam and Dean, while good guys, really don't understand how to fight a real battle, where there's more on the line than one life. They're used to working on a smaller scale, and I don't think they realize that the rules have changed. Their attitudes are noble, but I'm not sure it isn't a bit shortsighted.
