I'm tired of being angry, so I'm going to just babble about something else. Indulge me, ignore me, whichever you choose.
-Tales from the Crypt is excellent for judging sense of humor and strength of stomach. I figured that out this weekend when my two younger sisters watched it with me and one was horrified by it and the other totally into it. The way I see it, it's like the icon I'm using on this post. If you can't appreciate how absurd the thing is that you're seeing, you won't think it's funny. One sister flinched, the other made predictions about how the story would end. To my mind, one is wrong, the other is right, even though I sort of share both their reactions to it. Each episode has something that makes me laugh and makes me squeeze my eyes shut against gross-osity. Good times.
-I'm a few episodes from the end of season two of Supernatural. I managed to, mostly, explain the driving forces of plot to
feiran as she and I watched an episode together, so I'm pretty proud of myself for that. However, what I really need to relate to the world at large is that
feiran admitted that Dumbfuck (aka Dean aka Jensen Ackles) is, quote, "pretty." Granted, she qualified that with "oh, only in this one picture
ivy03 showed me" but I have my doubts. Because she did volunteer to watch that episode with me and had me explain the season to her...
-Speaking of Supernatural, though: most of the women writing fanfic for Iron Man appear to be fans of the show. Weird demographic fallout, or what?
-My dad was given Scene It--the 2nd Movie Edition--for his Father's Day gift. I STILL DOMINATE AT THAT GAME. I pouted mightily, however, when (EVEN THOUGH I HAD ALREADY WON THE GAME) someone got a screen shot of Neo's computer at the start of The Matrix for one of their questions. RAR!

We still need to play Scene-It some time. You'll probably kick my butt, but it'd be fun.

Date: 2008-06-17 01:28 am (UTC)As far as castmembers on Supernatural, I was always more interested in Jo than in the guys, but she's still too young. Still, Padalecki's abs fascinate me.
I have never played Scene It, but it sounds like fun! :)
I am going to go do some laundry, bake some cookies, and start reading Spook. :)
