Inspiration: Breathe no more by Evanescence

I've been looking in the mirror for so long
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side
All the little pieces falling, shatter
Shards of me,
Too sharp to put back together
Too small to matter
But big enough to cut me
Into so many little pieces

oh god. I missed it on my first listen because I was ROFLAMO but in the commentary to The End Kripke is talking about the boys relationship dynamics (coming together, moving apart etc) and actually says "its about the epic love story of Sam and Dean"*

yeah. I think we're all on the same page here !


* The phrase first coined by Sera.

THIS SHOW. I JUST. OMG. ANYONE THAT CONTINUES TO NITPICK IT AFTER THIS JUST NEEDS TO STFU AND GTFO BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW JACKSHIT.

Or, disjointed notes on the Kripke/Singer/Edlund commentary for The End.

( SERIOUSLY, THERE IS CAS/COCKROACH. )

Well, thanks to those super-cool photos in this post, and because apparently not even a week at Disney World can fully distract me from the Team StarKid love, I come bearing MORE FREAKING MAMD ICONS ♥. They can be located HERE for your userpiccing pleasure and include a couple of the latest awesome/awkward things to crop up here :3 As usual, I hope everyone enjoys!

Also, I'll have everyone know that at Disney World, I 1) rode every ride that had to do with rocket ships/MAAAARRRRSS in Draco's honor, 2) bought a "Hang Loose" collectible Disney pin, 3) spent a lot of the time playing scavenger-hunt and looking for UMich t-shirts or hoodies, and 4) took a couple of fun photos of Princess and the Frog-related stuff just because Darren seems so freaking obsessed with it. I love loving Disney as much as they do! ♥ :)

I haven't done any translation for fun lately (what? I can translate for fun), and while researching some stuff to inflict on my students ended up finding some very lovely poetry from two authors, Petronius Arbiter (classical?) and Ausonius (early medieval). The three poems are short, but very lovely, and I thought I'd try my hand at some loose, more-poetic translations.

Qualis nox fuit illa, di deaeque,
quam mollis torus. haesimus calentes
et transfudimus hinc et hinc labellis
errantes animas. valete, curae
mortales

Gods, goddesses:
the night was a soft bed
and we two, twined together,
alight, with hungering lips
breathed our wandering spirits
back and forth.
(Mortality, farewell.)

I'm sorry for not posting much lately except twitterspam. I've been sick for a week now and unwilling to do much of anything besides read fic and watch movies. I feel really bad for letting things go, though, especially spngenlove. I keep thinking that I need to make a rec post today and then forgetting ALL DAY LONG. Fail. Massive fail. People are still reccing very cool stuff, though. I will try to get on top of it again.

And, if you haven't realized it, I do use my twitter basically as an insta-rec stream, sometimes. My YouTubes faves get automatically posted there, and occasionally I put other links up, too. For instance, unoshot and lassiterfics took one of my sharp_teeth prompts and created AWESOME.

I also keep linking Axe Cop there, because I still can't get over how amazing it is, and I recently blathered about Hark! A Vagrant, too. Especially this comic, which reminds me of lot of tracy_loo_who's Wee Baby Cas Things fic (also recommended), and also @IAmCastiel over on twitter, who seems rather taken with the small furry folk.

Oh, and this! Gorillaz is a virtual band with a very cool video style. It even has a bit of fandom, apparently. And someone made a music vid with Gorillaz clips to the Safety Dance. SO FREAKIN' META. I love it. I love it hard.



So, um, yes. That's what I've been doing lately.

In which Chloe and Emil hatch a plan.

( Chapter 34 )

In the UK Part One of the Season 5 DVDs comes out on April 26 with episodes 1-11. The commentary is on one of my favourite episodes ever "The End".

Lucky for me, Eric called me from the hot tub that he installed next to his Tiki bar at the WB in Burbank. This is a pic snapped from the tub of his People's Choice Award on the bar.



Anyway he was kind enough to play the episode commentary over the phone for me (so, no I don't have a copy of it). Sera Gamble was meant to be involved in it, but she was off trying to get out of jury duty by wearing her Star Trek uniform. So the commentary team is Eric, Ben and Bob. It's 42 minutes of hysterical madness between Ben and Eric with occasional bon mots from Bob. Ben and Eric basically have their own capslock community in RL. Ben even uses the word "interwebs". I love them alot.

I know many of you don't like to be spoiled, so my comments on the commentary are under the cut. They're brief because I really can't properly convey the crack of it!
