I don't, for vice/vise. Aluminium I do. Now. I just spelt it how Gram said it, but pronounced it the North American way for years.

I pronounce vice shorter than vise. I get that not everyone does. But people who correct my pronunciation of "aluminium" can take a flying leap. I'm not saying the word they think I am, ergo no grounds for correction there. If I were saying "aluminum" I'd pronounce it right then.

I can't believe how Mottsy I felt when I first heard it, but how desperately in love I am now with Dean's foray into transvestitism. I love his brand of machismo, and how unapologetic any contradictions are.

Just missing the show...

Was reading one of those fics that's totally not going to live up to itself that has Cas tasked to seduce Dean, learn all his secrets (unspecified--he's just to learn them all) and then leave so he can be killed. So, the worldbuilding of the premise falls apart immediately, but stuff they harp on, like Dean's mansion being eight stories tall and Cas' next door only five, and I'm wondering who or where they're modelled after. What rooms are in an eight floor mansion for one? What possible motivation would a down-to-earth made-his-own-money Dean have to live in one?

Considering the Biltmore Mansion, at 5 floors, is the largest private home in America and is estimated at somewhere @ $350 million value, I'm going to assume the writer's sense of reality is firmly based on Disney cartoons.

ETA: For most actors I'd wonder what the hell the photographer and fashion designer were thinking, but in this case I'm not entirely sure it's a professional photo shoot rather than Misha just clowning around on his own: [link]

Read this NOW.

I am CRYING with laughter: [link]

OH, a few .gifs are mildly spoilerly if you haven't seen all the seasons.

Stix is owed a debt of gratitude for that link.

An IO9 poster with whom I have a very antagonistic history is now watching Supernatural. I have little to say because he's the kid of guy who can turn using his name too often into an offence (that wasn't me--he has history with a lot of posters) and I don't want to fight about Show.

He just dismissed Skin as not that interesting and...well, I hope he enjoys Bugs.

Even if you take the sex out of it, that episode has great mise en scene, has a monster that allows us to get into Winchester family issues, kills Dean as far as the world is concerned, great fodder for Jensen to work, gives Stanford Sam more dimension...Inna Gadda Da Vida...you don't brush off Skin, I'm just saying.

He did say he hopes they get a long term enemy soon. Oh, will that ever be satisfied.

I love new-to-me pictures: [link] Not sure how I'd missed it, but coolth.

Mmmm. Tasty.

I am bound and determined to bring my little sis over to the SPN side this summer. It's right up her alley. I plan a SPN sleepover with booze and, of course, pie.
