Randomly, I love talking on walkie-talkies. I remember one weekend conference I was helping run logistics for, and I had two different walkie-talkies hooked to my person all weekend, and I LOVED it. Silly, but true.

When I ran security for Allyson's Lost and Angel parties, I assembled teams from my krav school. Nobody asked about how much they were being paid, but you can bet some of them asked if there would be headsets.

Fuck, yeah.

A group of friends did a performance piece at another friend's wedding reception. All of them mingled, wearing earpieces and talking into their sleeves a lot. Not connected to anything, but they sure had fun.

I have registered for the scavenger hunt with my con-going friends.

(We are an international team: 3 of us are in the UK. I don't know if that will help - but it can't hurt, right?)

But I will share info with my Buffista sisters.

Excellent!

I rewatched last week's ep last night, and realized (again) that what bothered me about most about the ep wasn't Becky per se, it was the combination of the other woman in the ep selling her soul in exchange for *her husband* getting the CEO job plus Becky going to such lengths to get a husband, even one as awesome as Sam.

I mean, we're not in the 1950's any more.

That's an interesting point, but the CEO's wife didn't bother me because, honestly, I've seen too many women (especially where we used to live in Bucks County, but even here) who are more than happy to have the perks (the money, the leisure, the big SUV, shopping at will) and *not* have to work for it.

But she could have gotten that through winning the lottery or inheriting the money, or a lot of other things that aren't dependent on her husband.

Well, sure. But it was an easier way to misdirect the audience (and Dean and Sam) into thinking the CEO was the one making the deal.

I get what you're saying, but it just didn't leap out at me.

Aw, cute fics, Bev! I left some love on the first one.

I can't wait to live vicariously through y'all's scav hunting!

I still haven't seen last Fridays ep. I just can't be arsed to cough up the two bucks to buy it off iTunes. And I'm going to miss this Fridays. Phooey. So my new plan is to catch last weeks on Hulu while I attempt to make 36 bows for Christmas (I'm sorry, the "holiday") wreaths to give to our top donors (yet they force me to make something different for those of the Jewish persuasion -hallelejiah we now have a resident Jew to put a stop to that nonsense) at work. I know you cared. I do not like not watching real-time, let alone a week off. Sad face.

I'm currently reading a fic I found somewhat randomly (following the link of an author when I mistakenly suspected a fic had been plaigiarized (turns out it was a *very* specific prompt taken on by two people). I came upon a rec for THE MOST AWESOME DC FIC EVAR! and had to check it out. It was written after the season 4 finale, and as such, has a very srs bzns BAMF Cas that doesn't even touch on the awkward doofy shenanigans that followed in season five. There's some wild plot holes that have to be handwaved to make the plot work, but, the writing is great, the whump is spectacular (even if it seems to be forgotton, but at least it's wallowed in indulgently for the scene it's a part of (kind of like Show in that respect). And for an old fic, it's actually refreshing how Dean's attraction to Cas is dealt with (or maybe BECAUSE it's an old fic, before fandom created it's own tropes to be copied by writers more invested in and inspired by fic than in Show).

Downside: hostile Sam (but I think I've been trained by fic to expect and want Awesome!Matchmaking!Sam.) I can't remember Sam's attitude towards Cas in season 4, other than the awe at first meeting.

Oh yeah, fic name, for those who care: "The Propensities of Good Men" by thevinegarworks. And it's LOOOOONG.
