I won't be home, sadly. Unless the current storm dumps a lot more snow than expected.
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

Board time, or Beverly Time? I won't be home by 9:00 Beverly time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Board time. Midnight's no hardship for me, and I can wait for the west coasties and between-statesers.
There's been a lot of angst, and I just am craving some simple, fun, spook-chasing. Plus, you know, Hellhounds dot com.

Bah. My friend still has my S1 DVDs, so no W&P for me.

I will have S1 SPN disks soon! Amazon is winging them to me courtesy of Nicole. And Borders will be sending me S2 before the end of the week courtesy of one of my cousins. Lovely birthday gifties!!! Oh, oh, oh, and Borders is also sending FNL, so I can return juliana's set to her.
Alas, probably won't get my DVD's in time for a W&P.

We can postpone it, guys. Or if you have another episode you'd prefer/can get your hands on by tomorrow night, we can W&P that instead.
I think it's midnight eastern, 11 central, 10 mountain and 9 pacific time, sumi. If I'm wrong, please correct me. But it might not be as much fun with just the two of us.

I like the idea of W&Ping when the show itself is in repeats, but again, if we can stagger start times for W&P that would be a huge help to me. Starting past 8:00 board time makes work the next day a bit on the groggy side.

Fic rec: The drop that makes it run over
It's a nice, long Bobby-centric piece that focuses on his perceptions of Sam and Dean over time. Wonderful stuff.

So I'm finally catching up on the SPN episodes. Last night we watched MM. I'm glad I was spoiled for it, because I probably would have been a lot more cranky about it than I ended up being. The writing felt rushed, and it felt like a bad rip-off of 80s horror movies instead of a knowing homage to them (which is the vibe I get from most SPN episodes.) Also, the episode felt like it was trying to fulfil the expectations of what non-viewers of SPN expect it to be. Kinda dumb, gory, and with a base of unthinking misogyny.
(And yes, I'm well aware that MM is the worst episode of the season.)
I ... oh lord, I hope none of you get annoyed with me for this. I have realized that I like fandom's version of SPN better than the actual show. I think the show is a kind of rickety scaffold that fandom has built an elaborate world around, and I worry that fandom is going to get its collective heart broken when that scaffold crumples. A lot of the really neat meta-discussion I see about the bonds of family, journey of redemption, battling of monsters turns one into a monster - I have to squint at the actual show to find more than tenuous support for it.
Yes, I know that we, as viewers, bring our own interpretation of things, that we're supposed to. But more and more I'm wondering if the interpretations that the majority of fandom brings to SPN is more wishful thinking than mining the text for metatexual themes.
