almost there
Four days till the new episode airs; though it’s more like a week until I’m likely to see it, knowing the way these things go. I can hardly wait-I’m going to die of pure squee when I finally sit down to watch. It’s been SO long since I watched any eps.
I’ve been thinking a lot about ‘Shadow’ this weekend. It’s easily my favorite SN episode: judging purely on emotional reaction, at least. And it’s the last one I saw, so of course I’m going to dwell.
I saw someone asking how John knew where the boys were staying. Since he was in town already-to get there so fast-clearly, he was stalking them. Man, I love superwhiteteeth John Winchester.
I don’t know why this hit me just today, it’s not like I was just watching Pilot or something. I just remembered that Dean and John’s first scene is when lil’ Dean runs and jumps into John’s arms...looking at that beside to their next scene together (not counting the phone tag), well, you see what I mean. It’s like an older, darker version of the same scene with entirely different emotions. In other words, It’s the same only different.
It really makes me think that there should be more fics just about John and Dean out there.
Oh, and quite possibly my favorite little thing in this ep: Dean hugging John and then walking back to stand beside Sam.
The whole ‘that’s the same shot from the pilot of the demon!’ thing-what’s it MEAN? Does it even mean anything? Are they just fucking with us? Because now what I was thinking (that the demon was just fooling Mary by taking her hubby’s form) seems lame and anticlimactic.
Everyone loves John’s great big honkin’ trunk, it seems. And I, well...
I had these reactions to it: the little green environmentalist sitting on my shoulder started choking and sputtering; then on the other shoulder my not-so-little macho man punched him out and started picturing helping cute girls wearing white tank tops up into the cab. Mostly, though, my wallet winced in sympathy. It’s a toss up: chickbaiting v. gas-guzzling.
Oh, and, looking at my current wallpaper, it seems the plate is “CSG 883".
Okay, some non-Shadow stuff.
I recently came into some money...oh, hell, who am I kidding? I worked my ass off for a week, nearly stressing myself to death, for a good bit of money (not all of us can hustle pool).
I got some cds and books. One of which I really wanna file under the ‘Blame SN’ category-that being my Bad Company cd (6 from 10).
But, really, I’ve always loved Dean’s style music. So what if I was chasing my brother and breaking my teeth in what little of the 80s I was alive for?-I still love most of that stuff.
I’m only just now buying it, though. For that I blame SN. And when on the show are we going to hear the aforementioned band’s song of the same name? It fits so well! Maybe at the end of the season or the start of season two. (Mmm, season two. Better happen.)
I really shouldn’t be allowed to write fics or make posts right now. I always type/talk like the book I’m reading and at the moment that means I have to try not to talk like I’m in 19th century England. Good book (Fingersmith), but if I sound any weirder...well, I guess my family will always be almost as strange. Why I love ‘em.
I changed my layout colors and quotes again, on both my ljs (barbsfic, too).
I like the darker colors on this one, I think. It’s rich and dark, but still readable. (Edit: Hah. Too dark. As much as I liked the black, it fucked my comments up. No fun. And then everything got messed up so I changed it all again.) I swear to gawd, I’ll close someone’s story without reading if they have some really obnoxious entry colors going on. I mean, dark text on dark background? Where’s that get fun?
My personal lj is now almost-annoyingly orange. It’s my favorite color, what can I do? I really need to update that one, too. Goddamn SN, taking up my online time with its sheer fabulousness.
I expect that on this lj all my quotes will change again when my new Tom McRae cd gets here, Just Like Blood. His stuff is just so dark and great, some of it really fits with SN, as lots of people have noticed. Plus, it’s just fucking awesome. Yes, I’ve been reading the lyrics online and thinking about how I can relate them to the show.
My last two entries got on spnnewsletter, much to my somewhat unreasonable shock. It made me think-always a bad sign.
This is the first fandom I’ve really gotten, hum, involved in. Besides posting a couple fics for LOTR and QAF and a couple mailing lists and a board I took part in, I haven’t really done much. For sure I’ve never made an entire lj for a show before, or sent a letter (I didn’t send a Firelfy letter ‘cause I knew we were frelled).
I’m terribly shy about posting comments on discussion posts, and pretty much everywhere else but form icon-taking comments. I’ve managed a few comments on papawinchester, though as that gets more members I’ll probably fade back into lurker mode. Mock me for my lameness, go ahead.
It’s probably more timing than the show itself, but I think I could really get some stuff done in this fandom. I mean like graphics (when I get a decent program), fics (when I get a better brain) and whatever else....
I have dozens of ideas for vids, but no idea how to make them. Could do a couple fanmixes, but no graphic-making expertise for the covers. Aw, well, there’s always going to be all summer to do fany things...assuming there’s going to be something at the end of the summer to look towards.
I’m so useless: I never give feedback on vids ‘cause I take forever to actually watch them after downloading. I just seem to keep saving the damn things up...doing the same shit with fics now.
I may make myself watch mrscutedean’s two new ones today, since her stuff is always awesome and she should hear it (and she friended me, sweet!). But I almost want to horde things away for later enjoyment...like some fandom hamster. I don’t even like hamsters.
How did I not know Jeffery Dean Morgan was in an episode of Angel? I just saw some caps this weekend on jdmorgan. I have all but season five (I’m poor, damn it) on DVD, so I can watch it today if I like. Eeeeexcellent.
He’s going to be on 9 or so eps (or so I hear) of GA this season. Hope Denny doesn’t die. I mean, if I can’t date Izzie, he’s the best who can. They are just so wonderful together. Last week you could just feel the love. And they are teh pretty.
One more thing, I was walking home one day and I saw a licence plate that stopped me in my tracks: "4 SAMMY".
All right, I’m shutting up; you better believe I’m on lj ‘cause I can’t get anyone but my keyboard and a few brave souls online to listen to me for as long as I feel like going on...and on....
