Maps are important

"Wasn't the G spot discovered by a guy G something...Gustav? Giorgio? Gary?"

"Whoever he was, he was the only one who found it and he never left a map before he died. The selfish fucker..."

...

She knew this was coming; she's seen it from a thousand miles away.

He touched her face as he said the words, as if he's trying to make the blow a little bearable.

"It's not that I'm incapable of loving. It's just that I can't love you. You're not the one. I'm sorry..."

Supernatural Recycles!

The effort to save the earth is one of Supernatural's most important missions. They recycle. Here's proof:

(The Usual Suspects - Karen [the grieving widow] Season 2 Episode 7)

(Monster at the end of the book - Publisher; Season 4 Episode 18)


(The Magnificent Seven - Lust; Season 3 Episode 1)

(Free to be you and me - Chastity; Season 5 Episode 3)

Err...Duh!

He looked at her while she was reading the paper and having a sip of her coffee. He squinted at her, as if tunnel vision were to give him a better perspective.

"You hold too many secrets. You hide too many things." He said accusingly.

She never looked away from what she was reading and gently put her cup down. "That's why they're called secrets, dumbass."

Apparently, I do have one...

It was a crazy week for me. Hell, it's been a crazy ass couple of months. But the cherry on top of the entire crazy frozen dessert of a week was when I realized I do have a reputation and that it does precede me.

I decided to have a drink after work, just something to get the edge off. I met up with an old colleague and we just hung out and shot the breeze. A woman came up to our table and asked "Hi! Are you (my name)?" I have never met this woman before nor have I ever seen her in my entire life. I figured, my friend was here and if this woman turned out to be violent or crazy, I got back up. So, I said the affirmative and she spewed out a couple of names of people that I used to work with and I nodded and smiled. Here's the kick in the pants - she goes:

"Oh goodness! So you are THE (my name)!"

The? I've got an article attached to my name now? I'm confused though, does that objectify or stereotype me?

How do you react to that? I did the best I could and gave an awkward chuckle, a lopsided half smile and a facial reaction similar to that of someone tasting something funky.

Of course, with my luck, I get the best kind of audience. My friend chuckled and said "Well, look at you and your reputation. You're your own PR!"

Crap...so apparently, I do have one. This scares the holy bejesus out of me...

Superntural Season 5 Episode 8 - Changing Channels

Supernatural will be on hell-atus after the November 19 episode and will return on January 7. Damn you, Eric Kripke...




I needed this episode. I needed this episode for a lot of reasons: One - I needed that good laugh-out-loud-belly-aching-tears-in-my-eyes laughter. I loved every minute of it. Second reason was, I needed to feel that we were going back to the story line. It was a wonderful transition. Very well written and very well executed.

I don't think a lot of the "younger" generation would appreciate the beautiful parodies that this episode did. Suddenly, thoughts of my youth came rushing back. I remember the sitcoms of those years - Three's Company, Diff'rent Strokes, Who's the Boss, etc. The OBB had me in stitches! The opening song was the final nail to my laughing coffin. Oh, and the terrible acting.

For the life of me, I can't think of the right words to use to describe the sheer joy I went through with their parody of Grey's Anatomy. It's even more satisfactory for me when they brought up Denny. I would've given anything to be at JDM's side just to see his reaction as he watches that scene.

I'm honestly starting to think that I over-analyze every SPN episode. I'm pretty sure that they wrote it as that - just to have fun and not think of the socioeconomic relevance of the episode. However, I'd like to think that it really does go deeper than that. If you were to ask me, I thought that this was a great episode to showcase how American culture has become so defined by its television shows. It also shows the high dependency people (not just Americans but almost everyone) have on entertainment, particularly television. Now, don't get me wrong and think I'm a freakin' hypocrite. I'm not saying I'm not one of those people - I am writing a review about a TV show I am obviously obsessed about, hello? - all I'm saying is that we are so affected by pop culture.

My favorite part was the CSI sequence. I have expressed my disdain for Horatio Caine and David Caruso's acting time and time again. Jensen could not quite get it but Jared (Hey hun!) nailed it! (excuse me while I watch that scene again and laugh my ass off). That was absolutely perfect. Another perfect sequence? The Knight Rider sequence! I never liked the remake. And it could be just me but doesn't Jensen have an uncanny resemblance to The Hoff? (Maybe that's why they did the KR thing)

I have to admit though, the whole Trickster being Gabriel twist floored me. Very very Gaiman-ish. Kudos to your team of writers, Kripke. Make sure you pay them well.

Another awesome episode. *applause*

No Apologies

I've realized that we tend to apologize for a lot of things that don't really merit an apology. We take it upon ourselves to apologize because we feel like it's the polite thing to do when we really don't mean to say sorry. I've also come to realize that I will never apologize for certain things that have happened in my life, things that I have done, and things that I believe in.

1. I will never apologize for my past - Why should I? These things happened to me and not to you, asshole. Why should I say sorry to you for something that I've experienced? My past is my own and it has made me who I am today.

2. I will never apologize for eating like a starving man - So, I'm not one of those "Dainty ladies" you've met who poke their food around and pretend to be full when they're really Jonesing for a freaking cheeseburger. I eat. A lot. (Maybe a lot more than what I really should consume) I like eating.

3. I will never apologize for my fashion - Call me a freaking weirdo for the clothes I wear. You just don't have the guts to wear them. (Or maybe you do...but then that's pudginess 'round the midsection and not guts). I wear what I wear because it makes me feel good about myself. I don't make you wear it, so stuff it up where the sun don't shine, Pokey.

4. I will never apologize for something I've done intentionally - You may not accept the action or the reason behind the action. I will not explain myself to you. I've done it and I have my reasons for it. I've made my peace with it and so screw you for judging me for it.

5. I will never apologize for my "crazy" family - These are the people who stuck by me and loved me unconditionally. Between you and them, there's really no contest there. Blood will always weigh more than anything.

So, here's a thought: Before you demand for an apology from me, think hard about what you want me to apologize for.

Preparation is always the best defense

I know my kids will never have the guts to call me this, but just in case, I've got a great comeback if and when they do. SCENE!

My kid (Any of my kids): "Mom, you're such a loser"

My response: *shrugs nonchalantly* "It's genetic. Guess what you're going to be after this conversation is over and you have an epiphany of what I've just said?"

I'm awesome.
