Dad had his one-year colonoscopy last week and is so far all clear of cancer and polyps! \o/

The month of September pictures on my SPN calendar are so pretty I don't want to change it when October rolls around.

There may be three new Brian Wright songs up on his myspace that I had to learn to rip audio for!

The thing that is making me happiest in the world this Saturday is my Pumpkin Spice coffee creamer. Nom nom nom. I love fall.

ukefied mentioned this earlier today, but a '60s icon died this week. Who didn't grow up listening to Puff the Magic Dragon as a kid? Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary passed away.

Do I watch the new Merlin or Sons of Anarchy first? I hope this is the toughest decision I have to make all day.

I had to caption the Jonas Brothers "Paranoid" last night at work. :/ It... wasn't horrible.

Anyone got any good crockpot recipes? I am new to crockpot cooking, so suggestions and tips are welcome too. (I did end up making my chicken enchiladas last week. Threw some leftover spinach inside them too. Again with the Nom nom nom!)

This is my favorite picspam ever.

"Change your thoughts and you change your world." ~ Norman Vincent Peale


( And now for the Pirates on my flist )

My cat Spooks loves this toy so much it's silly. I don't even have to do anything-- she'll play with it all by herself for like an hour. I should buy a few more. It's so simple too. Rolls of cardboard threaded on some wire. She'll pick it up by one end to carry it, then get freaked out and pounce on the other end when it follows her. So cute!

So it's official. No Colorado for me. I switched my ticket to Texas for Thanksgiving. I'm actually kind of excited about this because I haven't seen my sister in a couple years and I've never been to Texas. Apparently there is Renaissance Festival plans and we might take an overnight trip to San Antonio to see the Alamo and Riverwalk too. *glee* But I'm still kinda sad about not getting to visit loose_pages_sd and tameiki1 in Colorado. :/

No one said it would be consecutive:

OMG:


( I cut the rest because I love you )


Food, then Target, then TV and editing my Vancouver pics. Hmmm, maybe I should have sorted them before uploading.


Man, the ebook comm must have got tos'd. There was some stuff there I wanted to grab too.

Hi Jared! ♪ I think I love you! ♪

ETA: N'AWWWW, Jennybean, ILU2!

Awesome icons, awesome vid and awesome pictures from the Oz(some) con. (Er, that last link is not very dial-up friendly.)

(The vid of Misha manhandling Jared is kinda awesome too. Unf!)

In slightly less happy news, some of the shiny Dreamwidth tools are not playing nicely with my browser. I'm sure it's a bug on my end, but it makes me sad.

Dean's reaction to ( next season's Sam... )

You guys, Sam isn't turning evil. ( Sam is turning... )

Wild thing, I think I love you...

And now that you have that earworm, I run away.

Um, whoops. Prop 8 Supporters May Have Just Handed Cali Supreme Court The Power To Eliminate "Marriage" Altogether.

And then Merriam-Webster takes the opposite tack of including same-sex couples in their definition of marriage.

...the Merriam-Webster dictionary has added a second definition for “marriage” that reads, “the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage.”

Just in case you feel the urge to let them know how you feel about this, I'll link you to their handy "contact us" form. >D

( Just a little Thursday treat... )

I want my ebook reader NOW. My impatience knows no bounds.

Apparently my LJ flist needs some boy-on-boy brain-bleaching today.

( NSFW )

AHAHAHA, whoops! Somehow I ended up the maintainer of christian_kane. *^_^* Luckily it seems to be a low-maintenance gig. Hmm, I should probably find a picture for the user info.


Those damn Chevy Impalas...

State Police say they clocked Dillon, 44, driving 106 mph on Interstate 91 in Newbury. It happened around 10 p.m. Tuesday. Troopers say Dillon, of New York, was driving a rented 2009 Chevy Impala. The posted speed was 65.

(That would be Matt, not Kevin.)


And why is it I only read Entourage fic during Yuletide? (Is there a lot of Entourage AU fic? I can't recall ever seeing any. I don't think I've ever considered that before.)

They're making a Lenore bust, but not a Sam?

( Surprise! )


I did pretty good on my goals for last year. Will make some new ones this year. They're more personal things just for me and I don't like "publishing" them in case I fall down on them. Private humiliation instead of public and all that. :) Dad's off the blood thinners, which is really awesome news. Just one more surgical procedure for him, then hopefully we can put the bad medical stuff behind us for 2009. I wish you all health, wealth, happiness and good cheer for the new year.

Okay, I need to go sweep my porch and do some other good luck things around the house-- hey, I watch SPN, of course I'm superstitious.

Considering that I really didn't care that much for last week's Supernatural... there was not one thing I didn't adore about this week's episode.

( spoilers within )

I have a lot of things I have to do tomorrow. today.

All my friends are getting new phones lately. I'm a little jealous. I want a new toy.


I am sorely tempted to drink heavily while doing my online traffic school. Do you think that's illegal?

Hmm, I thought these were widely available, but maybe not. Some of the rarer Kane B-sides and live tracks I uploaded for a friend here.

Last week it was Youngblood, this week it was Untamed Heart. Work is trying to kill me with the nostalgia and tearjerkers.

( Technically spoilery pictures, but not really because they're behind-the-scenes shots. My favorites... )

They were taken during shooting for this week's episode, but they're all behind-the-scenes and don't really give much away.

Now I have to run for work. Urg.

Had a bitchin' time at the Scream Awards tonight. Both Jared and (Surprise!)JDM were in attendance. Despite the nosebleed seats, it was really fun. My first time at the Greek, and what a gorgeous venue that is. They had the pine trees in the background all lit up a la every horror movie in existence and there was even a little fog in the air. The costume I got worked a treat-- I ended up with glittery purple and black batwings and ears. (I actually came thisclose to buying feathery black angel wings and a black halo, but the wings were gigantic so I went with the smaller glittery bat instead. Sorry, Castiel, maybe another time.) For some reason they never gave out the award Jared was up for. Not sure if the show was running long or what. Maybe Johnny Depp won and it was all prerecorded. Who knows?

A few highlights:
- Tim Burton is a very brave men. They had him ride out over the audience on a rather rickety hot-air balloon contraption.
- Awesome finale that was a tribute to George Lucas, complete with stormtrooper honor guard and laser show.
- Marilyn Manson was kind of a dick.
- Julie Benz and Neve Campbell were gorgeous.
- Hellboy II actually won an award.
- The Dark Knight pretty much swept all their categories, including two awards for Heath Ledger.
- Sir Anthony Hopkins was there to accept a lifetime horror honoree award.
- Preview clip for Watchmen!! (It got the Most Anticipated Award, I think.)
- Also a Friday the 13th clip, but I think it's the same one they showed at Comic Con.
- Lots of fire effects and some pretty excellent stage design.
- The staged pieces were entertaining in an is-this-going-to-be-a-trainwreck? sort of way. See above re: fire.
- Free booze, though all of us had to drive so there was no over-imbibing, still how often does that happen?
- I think they said it's airing Tuesday on Spike TV, for anyone who cares to catch it.


( *purrs* My other OTP... )

ETA: WOW. Go, Obama.

John McCain on the View, if you want to educate yourself a little before the election.

( Back to season #2 screencaps )


We're doing a trial of the 4 day/10 hours work week next month. They decided on a two-week- to a month-long trial before instituting it to make sure "it works for us and operations." I think I can have my choice of Monday, Wednesday or Friday off, but I'm not sure. We're going to be talking about the schedules on an individual basis next week.


Note to self: Austerity regime

When you see this, post another Supernatural quote in your lj. Let's see how long this can go on for.

Kat: So, how do you guys know about all this ghost stuff?
Sam: It’s kind of our job.
Kat: Why would anyone want a job like that?
Sam: I had a crappy guidance counselor.



( Weekend TV watching )

(Probably a few minor spoilers within-- mostly for unaired Dexter.)





( Season 3: A Very Supernatural Christmas )

I have taken blood pressure medicine vast quantities of alcohol my second cup of coffee and I am a bit calmer now. The mod deleted the post (her idea, not mine). I privated my anger. Peace and love. (Hmmm, I wonder if it's that time of the month... I usually don't get so riled so fast.)


Jensen and Jared are in love. Don't try to deny their epic romance... Man, I love that song. seedyapartment is brilliant. Music soothes the savage beast and all.


( Today's SPN caps: season 2 )

Because thehunter is getting ever so closer to being sucked into the Borg SPN fandom, I'm gonna post a screencap a day till next week's premiere.

(Don't worry, they'll be cut and tagged so you can avoid them if you want.)

( Season Uno )


Heck, you guys are welcome to leave your own favorite screencaps from the episode in my comments-- invited to, even. It'll be like a screencap treasure hunt and an excuse for you to go scavenging galleries. Even if you don't watch the show, you can play and go google the episode to leave me a picture. *uses Sammy puppy eyes of doom*
