Also, an SPN casting "spoiler": Matt Frewer will appear as "Pestilence" (the 3rd of the 4 horsemen)] Yep, saw that yesterday. Very cool. Me too. Trust me Monnie and I are jumping on spoilers like they're Dean and Cas covered in oil. Or at least I am. Nervous, nervous.

Yep, I'm right there with you, on both counts. I've been so distracted with RL stuff and working on my vid that it's keeping me from stressing too much, though. Thank god. Because when I actually stop and wonder about what's going to happen the rest of the season and the possibility of being Cas-less next season? It starts to really stress me out. *bites nail*

Anybody planning on watching "Parenthood" tonight? I'm recording it but it will have to make a pretty immediate impact to remain on the schedule. Already have too much that is "entertaining but not must see." My husband is a complete Lauren Graham fanboy, so yes. Sorry to hear about Alison's friend; that first confrontation with mortality is always a shock. Julia, having a big hole in my life since my best friend diew when we were five years out of high school.

You guys have not mentioned that Jared P got married over the weekend? It never even crossed my mind to say anything. No one here besides myself and Pixi seem all that interested in the actors. I'm really happy for him and his new bride--they are sooo cute together, and seem really in love, from pictures I've seen. I'm suprised there hasn't been wank about it, in certain less reasonable parts of the fandom. Julia, of course it happened after the Fandom Secrets submission deadline...

Attempting a change of thought. Well, I know antibiotics are of no use on a "simple" cold, but I clearly must have had something else going on that was treatable. 2 pills from my "Z-pac" and my symptoms are about 80% better. No wheezing. No coughing all night. Absolutely amazing. So glad I called the doc rather than continuing to "tough it out." What CAN you do to minimize a cold? This seems to be just the garden variety of miz'ry, but I'd like to get rid of it ASAP. I've already done the Vitamin C & Zinc thing.

I'm sure there probably has been, though I haven't seen any yet. Give it time, and it'll get noticed. If there's one thing I've learned about the SPN fandom, it's that there is no limit to the amount and absurdity and the intensity of the wank. I feel sorry for all the actors involved, but especially Genevieve. At least with Danneel, she eggs it on and fights back, which is kinda cool to watch--I would not want to get in a tussle with her, 'cause she seems pretty badass. ;D But Gen does her best to stay hidden and out of the limelight and does not interact with the fans (which is ridiculous that she has to do this, since she was actually on the show for a whole season--fandom should be opening their arms to her and welcoming her and treating her as part of the show's family), and yet she still gets shit on and harassed. But, then again, they knew going into this profession that if they're successful they'd get hit with stuff like this, so I can't feel too sorry for them. And plus, they're also all gorgeous and rich, so yeah, my sympathies have their limits.

Rest, rest and more rest. That's all I know.

M78 and Reflecting Dust Clouds in Orion Credit & Copyright: Ignacio de la Cueva Torregrosa Explanation:[/b] An eerie blue glow and ominous columns of dark dust highlight M78 and other bright reflection nebula in the constellation of Orion. The dark filamentary dust not only absorbs light, but also reflects the light of several bright blue stars that formed recently in the nebula. Of the two reflection nebulas pictured above, the more famous nebula is M78, in the image center, while NGC 2071 can be seen to its lower left. The same type of scattering that colors the daytime sky further enhances the blue color. M78 is about five light-years across and visible through a small telescope. M78 appears above only as it was 1600 years ago, however, because that is how long it takes light to go from there to here. M78 belongs to the larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex that contains the Great Nebula in Orion and the Horsehead Nebula.

And plus, they're also all gorgeous and rich, so yeah, my sympathies have their limits. I think- and I might be wrong, but from the perspective of the wank communities it seems so- that there was a transfer of the tin-hattiest of tinhats from Lord of the Rings fandom, and especially from the RPS part of that fandom, right at the beginning of the SPN fandom, and that set the tone for the crazy-corner. It's hard to ignore SPN right now in the larger fandomsphere- until the Star Trek reboot it was the 800 pound gorilla, especially since SGA was cancelled and the chances for a movie went down in the flames of MGM's economic problems. Writers who bring attention to any show- Astolat, Hepcat, et'c- are playing there. Glee and Twilight seem to be attracting the really new and learning (AKA "awful") writers to the same degree, and Twilight has its moments of pure crazy, but SPN is the fandom is giving continued and persistant attention to the actors as objects of fantasy. Julia, it would be a fascinating subject for a book, but so far no author has appeared

Also, I may have spoken a bit too soon about my symptom relief. Apparently the codeine from last night is just now wearing off. For only 1 teaspoon, that must have been some mighty powerful stuff.

SNOW! Still had to come into work, dammit. But we had almost 3 inches at my house before I left. Why couldn't it be cold enough to stick on the streets? *pouts* Not fair, but I'm happy we got this one last gasp of winter before spring --I feel like this is Mother Nature's way of saying to me, "Here's one last day of snow. Now shut the fuck up and stop whining." ;D Temps may be in the 70's here this weekend. I'm kind of looking forward to it. I may even wash my car. I love it when Mother Nature does my work for me.

I know that Spn_gossip is a warehouse for the lunatic fringe who are all convinced that the marriages are fake, PR marriages and that Jared and Jensen have mad, passionate gay love all the time and that Misha indulges in threesomes with his wife. Lunatic fringe is scary. But yea. You get the perks but you get the crazies. No one ever promised these people rose gardens and I actually think dealing with fandom is part of the job.
