I kinda overslept on this Good Friday, and when I woke up I saw that
totoro79 has been PING-ing me on BlackBerry Messenger. Now I know, when either
totoro79 or
nenekguru PINGS me, it means it must be really something URGENT (unlike some people on my contact list who loooooves to PING PANG PONG without any particular urgency)
So what was the urgency? She was asking me if I wanted her to grab an EW copy with Jennifer Hudson on the cover because there's some SUPERNATURAL COVERAGE in it! OH HOLY COW THAT IS LIKE, DEFCON1-LEVEL URGENT IN MY UNIVERSE INDEED!
She was gonna give me her copy in case I didn't find one in Indonesia, but I did find ample supply in Pacific Place so she could keep the copy for herself. She is, after all, also a huge SPN fan!
DEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAN!!!! *screeeeeech*
OH YES AND SAAAAAAAAAAAAM! XD (Sorry, I'm a die-hard Dean girl!!!)
Even Metallicar is in the picture! They're a team, after all. Dean, Sam and our beloved Metallicar <3
I can't even begin to describe just how freakin' PSYCHED I am that the Winchesters got a 4-page coverage which includes a 2-PAGE PHOTO SPREAD AND a cover mention!!! I'm just really psyched that EW decided to give Supernatural the attention it should be getting, coz it's such a freaking awesome kickass show.
And I know everywhere is mentioned again about Kripke's 5-season plan, and I'm choosing not to deal with it YET right now. I know it's probably THE BEST WAY TO GO for Supernatural, like quit while you're at your prime, but I know us fans will be in SERIOUS WITHDRAWAL once that happens.
Sigh. Nothing lasts forever I guess. We just have to enjoy it while we still can!
One thing about the EW article, though. The "Supernatural 101: How to Get Hooked" episode choices was such an abridged version! How can they leave out "No Rest For The Wicked"??? That is like, ESSENTIAL to the whole arc in Season 4!
