I'm watching American Gangster with J1, and I have but one thing to say about the way this story is framed: it is amazing how the story can be presented to make one side more sympathetic than the other.

Still on holiday. More interesting links.

+ crossroads_lore "Some Considerations (in Defense) of Supernatural's Malleus Maleficarum from a Feminist" (I haven't actually read this one, but that episode upset me so much I want to come back to this, and see if I can view it in a way which means I don't hate the writers and characters.)

Yesterday I went with J1 and sister K to visit brother M and sister K's best friend, who live in the same town. We had really good food, lots of laughter, and a ton of geekiness as K studied statistics in the car while I studied future interests. It was good times, let me tell you. Saturday night, J1 and sister K made homemade mac & cheese and grilled chicken for sister C, J2, and me. We played a long, drawn-out round of Trivial Pursuit.

I am enjoying vacation.

Yesterday I went walking in the park in the sun without a coat. Today it is snowing. We weren't supposed to have more winter, damn it! Plus I'm at work and stupid people keep coming in to ask stupid questions, so this is just a bang-up start to the weekend.

HOWEVER!

There are two director's cuts up for the next Supernatural episode, "Heart" which I love for reasons that are obvious if you know what the episode is about.

I don't normally watch the director's cuts, but of course I did this week.

( spoilers )

I wish my sister was off Thursday night, that would be a good one to watch together. Hee!

After this episode, I may have to update my Supernatural icons.

Giddy giddy giddy and giggly. I think it's time for bed before I ruin my reputation. Hee.
