Oct. 31st, 2010 07:36 amHaving a slow recovery from last night - I ended up picking up a last minute shift behind the bar at a Persian restaurant in the West End Wrapped up there around 11:30, and then P. and I went out dancing on Sauchiehall Street in costume (she had massive angel wings - apparently in Italy, you can only dress up as something which is already dead-, while I was a Raymond Chandler heroine.) And the club had awesome music - when we hit the dancefloor, the entire room full of Victorian gentlemen, cowboys, mice, a full team of Ghostbusters and various forms of living dead were shaking it to Mumford and Sons, 'The Cave', And then there was Florence and the Machine, followed by Jerry Lee Lewis, and the entire club howling 'Hey Ho/Let's Go' along with the Ramones. Not a technobeat in earshot :-) And I can dance in high heels! Who knew?!
Am off to go take advantage of the sun - the big question is still to NaNo or not to NaNo. Perhaps a modified form of NaNo...Hmmm. So much to do, so much that I want to do, so little time.
When fanon is better than canon?

Because John Winchester being brought back from the dead by a bunch of teenage Goth girls is possibly the best thing to ever come out of Supernatural fandom. Now all I can think about is how much more awesome SPN would be if it were directed by Amy Heckerling.
Oh boy, you guys, I think my show might be back! *dances up and down* Weekend at Bobby's felt like a cross between a Season 2 outtake and a really fun fanfic. The whole show was basically Bobby and Rufus snarking at each other, and everyone being awesome. Tense, funny, poking fun at itself - this is what I got into Supernatural to watch. Jim Beaver carried the whole thing effortlessly, and major kudos to Jensen Ackles for directing the best episode of SPN in forever and a half. The pacing was tight, the comic timing was spot-on, the episode was consistently entertaining, and everyone looked like they were having a blast. I suppose it's too much to hope that this will continue - next week we'll be back to the 'Apocalypse Now: Everybody Mope Redux", but in the meantime, I think they ought to give all of the stand-alone episodes to Mr. Ackles to direct, since he's pretty darn good at it.
And Then There Was Fic
May. 17th, 2010 08:06 amTitle: Five Times Dean Winchester Met Brigitte Fitzgerald (and One Time He Didn't)
Author: missbaxter (fox_in_the_library on Dreamwidth)
Characters: Dean Winchester, Brigitte Fitzgerald
Rating: Call it R, for Dean's occasional lapses into swearing and political incorrectness
Summary: Supernatural/Ginger Snaps crossover. Takes place both pre and post Ginger Snaps II (could be read as slightly AU), and pre-series Supernatural.
Disclaimer: I wish I could claim credit for coming up with such awesome characters and stories. Sadly, I cannot. I do not own, and am making no profit off of, either Dean Winchester or Brigitte Fitzgerald.
( When 'Bite Me' is not an appropriate comeback... )
WWWWHHHHOOOOAAAAA SUPERNATURAL 5X22 HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK LIKE BABE RUTH.
( cut for spoiler-y squee )
Can we have season 6 now please?
