welcome to watch as long as he refrained from sarcasm, at least until the ep was over. Otherwise, unass the room, dude.

BWAH!

I watched an indy film with JGL, a surprise to many of you I am sure, called Stoploss. The lead was actually Ryan Phillippe and I watched the whole movie wishing Jensen had taken that lead. They are so similar from being too pretty in their youth, and now growing more normally handsome with age. Ryan was using a Texas accent that really called for Jensen. Actually Jensen could have played the role as Dean with little problem due to the costuming and fighting. Jensen should be doing things like this instead of MBV3D. :sigh:

Backseat shenanigans are supposed to be a problem? I hadn't noticed such bucketing of backseats.

My 2008 Fit (admittedly, not even close to a Dean Winchester car) has separate back seats with really obvious differences in support and give. It's not bucket seats, but it's definitely not a bench seat--I wouldn't want to try to snooze a multi-state trip away on it. That said, if Dean Winchester a) existed and b) suggested sexy-times with me on that back seat I'd go for it and accept the chiropractor visit in my future.

I had a '77 Impala and the back seat was a bench. Very roomy and comfortable. Also good for making out in Lawrence KS. (What? I was in college.)

Yeah, not-bucket does not equal bench. I actually have always really disliked those backseats that dictate to me where I have to put my butt.

pretty sure itunes has gotten rid of DRMs.

They want me to pay 30% more to use the damn music I am already buying, it irks me. Really, I get offended that they make it harder for me to be a good and honest customer. Stealing should not be easier than buying.

The one-click bugs me but I make them confirm anyway. Actually, iTunes took away my shopping basket option too. Grrr. Doesn't let me ponder so I usually just decide not to buy.

I am such a cranky shopper. Thankfully the internet limits actual human interaction. No one can hear me yelling at brower tabs. I hope.

I thought you had the option to not purchase right away with iTunes (eta: aha--the wish list functionality is what they have now)...not that I exercise it--I want right away, and I really like the whole not doing extra click thing. The idea of any given vendor paying Amazon for that irks the shit out of me.

No, they don't. For 99¢ there is no DRM. I think $1.29 gets you higher audio resolution.

This story: Blind Spot is rated for sex. Does anyone know the pairing? I really don't want surprise Wincest.

No, they don't. For 99¢ there is no DRM.

Ha! I've been pissed for the wrong thing. Which happens more than I'd like.

If I am just buying one thing, I don't care about a shopping basket option. But if I am buying a lot and haven't decided which precisely I want, I do. A wish list would fix that, kinda.

Okay, I am open to the idea of iTunes again next time I need something.

Does anyone know the pairing?

Don't know yet, but I like it so far. I did a quick skim through the author's fic. Looks like various het pairings when s/he does warn for them.

Okay, found the master fic list (I've gotten spoiled with this new trend of having a sticky master list) and here's the description there: (NC-17, Gen — Dean, Sam, Meg, Jo, Bobby, mid S3 AU) [link] In fact, all the fic there is labelled as either gen or het. So there's that.

Gen? Huh. Okay. The fic headers say sex, so I hope she doesn't traumatise my snowflake self. Go het, yay het.

I've only ever read The Axeman, and that was gen with delicious whump.

I've decided that I really don't care for H/C. If only because that seems to predetermine that that's all the fic is about. I like to wallow a bit, but it's more of a desire to see the whump actually have an effect, but then I want the story to keep going. Which is why Thursday's Child is still such a satisfying read for me (am working through it right now, AIFG!). Whump! Consequences! Next! For me the hurt shouldn't be the neglible stepping stone to get to the comfort. I want it to be the shit they have to go through during the course of the story, with lasting effects, but not bringing the story to such a standstill that the comfort is the conclusion. I want the comfort to be a stepping stone, too, if it's even there. I don't need the pain to be a big meaningful thing. Sam gets punched in the face? Dean gets cracked ribs? Just mentioning it that it hurts to eat or breathe is enough to make me happy. I don't need groping over every cut.
