Fun things today: Woke up to find the water was off in the condo. After a few phone calls, discovered it was off in the whole building. Apparently there is something wrong with our sprinkler system in the courtyard, so instead of calling for repairs, someone just SHUT OFF the water to the whole building. >.<

A car repair I've been putting off for about a month because I thought it would be expensive and time consuming took me a half hour and $20 to get fixed today. *facepalms so hard*

Once again I bash my head at the illogic of dean_sam. *bash bash bash* Dear anonymouse: Perhaps I am a member of the community for the same reason you lurk there. Not to mention sometimes I pull spnroundtable recs from there. Not everything is crossposted all over and I don't want to join 18 fuckjillion communities.

Dear Community Mod Who Shall Not Be Named, using a spoilery icon all over a post where you're trying to prove that your community really truly isn't biased against spoilerphobes just proves my point for me. Not that anyone would know since you deleted the post, but thanks for proving my point anyway.

This is also perhaps a good time to mention that I subscribe to the LJ friending and defriending amnesty newsletter. No drama from this quarter and no explanation needed.

However-- *snickers* See? SEE? We SPN fans aren't really that bad. =P


( Most of you won't get this, but... )


Hmmm, many of the Black Phoenix Halloweenies scents sound tempting this year. Except last year's were really disappointing to me for some reason. Will sniff them first at the will-call before breaking the bank! (Hunter, you still want the Snow Glass Apples chapbook, right? If not, I'mma sell it on ebay.)

Why is all the gay porn these days of the Corbin Fisher variety. God, I hate that shit. Even gaypornforgirls seems to have faded into the sunset. Give me a little plot with my porn, please. (Am I the only one who sometimes imagines my favorite actors/characters in place of the porn actors? y/n? No? Just me then?)

I have joined fuelly. It looks like a nifty way to track your gas mpg and spending and so on. (Plus it does the math for you! \o/) I track that stuff anyway, but I'm actually too lazy to do the calculations, so I have all these receipts with the millage written on them, but no statistics. Here's me.

Most of you probably won't remember that my headlight went out a couple of months ago, then it mysteriously popped back on. It went out again three weeks ago. I've been really bad about getting it fixed. Promised my dad I'd have it taken care of by this weekend. :( Then I found out the guy who does wiring for Pep Boys won't be in till Monday. The dealer's service undergarment department (spellcheck ftmfw! \o/) was already closed by the time I called and my mechanic is closed until Tuesday. I feel like I fail at life this week.


SPN comic book thoughts: I've been buying the Supernatural comics ever since they first came out. But somehow I can't bring myself to read them-- mostly because of the huge glaring canon error in the second issue. I guess it really pissed me off. Yet I still faithfully buy them. WTF, self?


iPod meme:
I'll shuffle my iPod .
Give me a number between 1 and 443.
I upload the correlated song for you.
I'll even be nice and leave out the podfic.

Spoiler question for those who saw the SPN preview: Do you remember if Dean had his amulet on when he came back?

I wonder what Dean used to do when he had nightmares as a boy. Also I think Green Eggs and Ham was Sam's absolute favorite books as a child and he made Dean read it over and over and over to him:

I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

(Though nothing beats Fox in Socks. Dean used to con Sam into asking John to read that one.)

I defeated the evol dimmers! Fear me and my awesome lightening and darkening ability. (Only took two days and two trips to Home Depot. Who knew my living room and bedroom lights were WIRED TOGETHER on the same hot line that had to be linked directly together, not through the bedroom switch? Not me. But I do now.) And it only cost me $35 and a broken fingernail. I mourn the nail.

Also this weekend I took my car in for some maintenance. Dear John the Mechanic, I adore you, but please don't be doing things I didn't ask for. Yes, in the overall scheme of things, an extra $50 on a $300+ bill may not seem like much for things that eventually need to be done anyway, but it also went over your estimate and over my budget for things that could have been put off another month and it means I'm going to have to put the next important maintenance off that much longer. Besides I like Jiffy Lube better for my oil changes, since they do what I tell them. Although you did rotate the tires without charging me, so that was appreciated.

On the upside, I did sneak off to watch Indiana Jones while they worked on the car, so it wasn't as tedious as it could have been. I kinda forgot how cheesy these movies are. A fun popcorn flick though. ( spoilers )

3.16 coda recs.

Things I have to remember to do this week:
- Call eye doc to reorder contacts
- Call other doc to get referral that he was supposed to call me back about last week and didn't, the bastige.
- Make vet appt for Chase and Spooks
- mail bpal swap stuff
- Father's day present-- Kane album?


Mmm, my jsquared porn pic got deleted from photobucket. Wonder if someone reported it. Just a reminder, if you don't like what I post here, it's always friending/defriending amnesty. No drama.

I keep getting these surveys from the DNC asking for my opinion and telling me that it's important for me to give feedback to the party "to direct the course of the election" blah blah blah. I don't know how serious to take them because they're also asking for money. Is the survey an excuse to ask for money and not worth the paper it's printed on? Or are they conserving resources? I'd be much more inclined to fill out the survey if they didn't have their hand out at the same time.

Speaking of-- don't forget the LJ elections. It's important for fandom to get out and vote since one of the candidates seems to be waging quite the dirty campaign. More info here.

They've finally started the construction on our new offices that was supposed to be finished in two weeks. (It's been about a month already.) Rumor has it that we're all getting new computers and flat-screen monitors when we move back in. It's one of those I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it things, as most of my job-related things are.

The shady tree/shrub that they chopped up last year has grown back nicely and it's shading my kitchen window beautifully this year. Hopefully they won't chop it up again. I don't -think- they will because they did all their chopping a couple months ago, but you never know.

And that's all the news that's fit to print.
