rubykatewriting: (Jensen: Peacoat of HOTNESS)
What the fuck is it about Jensen Ackles and his fans? No, SERIOUSLY. I do not get it. What is it about him that inspires such overwhelming crazy in seemingly normal females? And when were we supposed to start taking Supernatural and the boys as fucking gospel? I mean, the show is shit, brain-candy on its best day and complete drivel on its worst.

*whimpers*

When the Harry Potter fandom is starting to look relatively sane by comparison, well. That's not good, yo. As someone on Fandom Wank put it: “Is good now evil? Black is white? Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!” (Also total win for referencing The Ghostbusters.)

*burrows into some more Frankie to remind myself of a time when fangirls let out their crazy in healthy ways, like screaming or crying when in the presence of their idol, and at most a dramatic fainting spell*

* If this latest Grey's spoiler regarding the end of last week's episode is true, I may just have to start watching again. I've always dug that idea. (WARNING: that page contains spoilers for Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, and Lost, so please click with caution.)
* Last night's HIMYM was pre-empted for Frasier reruns. WTF, CBS?
* Caught Premonition and Wild Hogs this weekend. (Re: WH - MOM MADE ME DO IT! She finally cashed in her birthday movie.) Ahem. WH was just as blah as I knew it would be, but the running gag for Travolta's character seemed especially pathetic. It felt waaaay too forced. However, Premonition surprised me. It turned out to be more about faith and belief and love than the actual premonitions Linda was experiencing, and the ending was surprisingly affecting. Also? Sandy Bullock, baby, I knew you had that performance in you after Hope Floats. It's good to see you shine.
* Saw some wonderful trailers (at least before Premonition. I think the AMC folks realized what they were foisting on us with Wild Hogs so they just decided to cut right to the chase after three trailers. THANK YOU, BTW.):
- Waitress - Nathan Fillion! With clearly blue eyes (finally)! Keri Russell! With a believable southern accent! It actually looks quite lovely. Sad that Adrienne Shelley isn't around to realize her success.
- The Ex. The one with Zach Braff, Amanda Peet and Jason Bateman. I'll probably see it, but with a little apprehension. I think the combo of ZB and JB could be comedy gold (and the trailer proves this); however I would rather avoid the UN!COMFORTABLENESS of another Meet the Parents. I can only handle a man getting the shit kicked out of him (both by his own hand and circumstances out of his control) for so long before I wonder why he doesn't just pick up the meager scraps of his dignity and beat feet.
* Random question for the flist: since Robert Rodriguez is apparently fucking Rose McGowan now, does that mean we're going to end up with her in all his future cinematic endeavors? Because, no. He pretty much lost me with Sin City, but if that's going to be the way it is from here on out, we're through. RR, we are officially broken up. (And it hurts me so since you're a very loyal Texan and film here [almost?] exclusively.)
* Oh! Finally got around to watching Casino Royale, and now find myself in the strange predicament of finding Daniel Craig a little bit attractive. And I'm actually looking forward to the next installment. What the HELL, man? BRAIN STOP BETRAYING ME!

I'm seriously considering moving to Chicago. It sort of happened on a lark. I was messing around on CareerBuilder.com and set it for the US. Several jobs popped up for New York (way too fucking expensive), L.A. (which would be fun but also way too fucking expensive and I'm looking for actual seasons. BUT after posts like [livejournal.com profile] halfway2home's that involve Cate Blanchett, Leo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt being in the same room together being all good looking and charming and funny - well, a girl waffles), and Chicago.

I've started doing the research and Chicago isn't looking so scary, especially real estate-wise. The prices aren't THAT terrifying. (Sadly, Houston is booming so the prices aren't such a stretch.) I'm just concerned that I love winter weather such as Chicago's in theory rather than in actual practice. Am I still going to love the cold weather (and snow) when it's going on a week and the thermometer hasn't hit above thirty? Am I still going to love mass transit when I have to trudge through rain/snow/sleet/heat for four blocks?

So, um, are there any Chicagoans (or nearabouts) on the flist? Help a girl out. That said, I am not averse to someone selling me on the thrills of L.A. I've always loved the idea of living out there. Well, L.A. or New York. Those were dream places when I was growing up smack in the middle.

I have SPN fic! I still have to discuss some things with Evie, but it's basically finished. At a whopping 23 pages, it is my longest oneshot to date. I started it back in October, when my love for the show was only fizzling and not completely dead as it is now. I always seem to come in right as the creative drive of the show is taking a nosedive, or just veering off into left field. (Except for The Office. My love only grows for you, baby. Seriously. I would not be dying a small little death EVERY TIME I think about the Paley Festival if I didn't love you so. My John K. love is really only incidental at this point.) That’s when inspiration strikes, when it’s a pretty sure bet the fandom is waning and interest is little to zero. What can I say? I WIN at fandom.

Finally, I want to say thank you to everyone who commented on my previous two posts. It was way above and beyond and y'all are awesome for it. Truly appreciate it.
