lotesse1. Screw Harry Potter sideways, backwards and upside-down--we get new Tolkien this spring, and Ms Rowling can't hope to compare to that. "The Children of Hurin,"

2. NPR audio porn musings here. Man, do I miss NPR. Growing up without tv, I found that the radio quickly filled its place. but you have to have something else to do to listen: cook, clean, drive. Some sort of mundane repetitive thing to do with it, and it's bringing up all that incompetent failure stuff again. Not good.
The Shelley, at least, is good. I skipped the Milton reading this morning, and I feel like something of a fannish oddity at times, because my dearest-loved fandoms are textual, closed, and old. If I could find half the creativity and passion and risk-taking in the classroom or in journals that I do here, I’d think it was a harsh laugh, strung tight as a harp string and near to breaking. "Well said, my lord, though I do not know what you can do."
Placing a hand on Caspian's tensed shoulder, Bern decided to abandon courtly diplomacy. The boy needed to talk, that much was clear, and Bern would have the trouble out of him. He knew what it was, or near enough. "You are in love with the title right now, possibly because I've been reading Didion's "Slouching Towards Babylon" and the string of quote-references in my head is getting ridiculous.
OMG Gilmore Girls! I can't believe it went there, but am so happy the boys are back, and being cute and self-referential and adorable (Dean banging the starlet! The trailer rocking!) and cute with their guns and their serious little emo faces. And next week oh my Christ can't fucking breathe, I mean it. This is going to be grad students or just as good as, and I was going to look like a dork. Justin Timberlake indeed. Bad Dean. I love you baby.
Possessed!Sam is hotter than anything has a right to be. Srsly. Panties burning, people. The size of his ridiculously overgrown body against Jo, his hands, my God. And the twist of his mouth. Not that, you know, nonconsensual sex is col or anything. But just the mmmm of him.
The Boy was very excited about the Doors soundtrack, with Sam and Jo. And speaking of Jo, did she not suddenly get cool? And interesting? And a lot hotter than she was before she grew up and struck out on her own? I could almost, amost want Dean to feel for her, because she wants it so badly. And I sort of cared about her being happy, like, a lot more than I ever have before. Oh, but I missed Ellen.
Bobby! Yay Bobby with his paranoid holy water beer. (Only it's not really paranoia if they really are out to get you, I guess.)And Jesus God, Possessed!Sam speaking creepy!ass!Latin. Ovaries go boom now.
That's the second time Sammy's shot Dean under the influence of somebody's whammy. Does anything ever mess with Dean like that? Andy gets him, but Dean doesn't do anything to anyone else. I really want to tie Sma being possessed by the demonspawn to his apocryphal "destiny," some reason why this happened other than Meg's revenge. Not that Meg's revenge wasn't shiny, because it so totally was. But I think this was maybe more mytharc-y than it would first seem. Because she's the YED's daughter. She can talk all she wants about not caring about the Big Plan, but I don't trust her.
The hunters are getting more and mroe alienated from the Winchester boys. First Gordon, now this. and again, there's Ellen hanging out there--Sammy almost killed her Jo. She gonna let that fly? But yeah, why do I get the feeling that at somepoint we're going to get silly.
Poor boys. I think Kripke just gave us the woobie episode to end all woobie episodes. (but why no hugging? this ep needed way more hugging.) Now I wanna watch it about sixty more times. In a row. Oh Dean. Oh, Sam. And next week's promo hee hee hee. Made of awesome.
I love my show so, so much. Because it is a thing made of shiny and emo and oh, boys!
