laurificus at 04:12pm on 19/05/2013 under tv-supernaturalSo some stuff I meant to say the other day.
1. I spent a weekend in Barcelona. This is noteable for the fact that I actually got to see some sunshine (and drink some sparkling wine while sitting in it, obviously), but most importantly, I got to see my Barcelona boyfriends play! Sadly, they did not win the league then, but they were awesome, and Messi played. It was all very cool.
2. I haven't seen any Dr Who since Christmas. Mostly this is because I do not like the new companion woman all that much. It started out as the perfectly reasonable view that she was not Amy, and therefore terrible. Then it turned out I found her unspeakably smug. Online reviews do not suggest I am particularly wrong about this assessment, but you guys are almost certainly smarter than actual critics. Is it worth catching up with? My RL friends seem pretty mixed about it.
3. I am going skydiving! Have I mentioned this before? If I haven't, that was very stupid of me, because I am hugely excited. Not only will there be jumping out of planes, but I have also been promised a motorbike ride to get there. My mother is...less than thrilled by these developments. If anything terrible happens, I would like fandom to mourn me for at least a week. Someone make sure to organise that, please.
4. It seems to me that whether you enjoyed the S8 SPN finale depends very much on whether you want Sam and Dean to grow and be less codependent and crazy, or whether unhealthy craziness from them is all you want in life.
As I toldmollyamory yesterday, I have begun daily conversations with her for the past 7 years by saying things like, "Do you think they're getting too healthy? I totally think they might be getting too healthy!" It is therefore perhaps not unsurprising that the finale has caused joy for me the like of which mere words cannot explain.
Suffice to say that I've stopped saying Jeremy fucking Carver in tones of disgust and outrage, and now say it in tones of awe and wonder. I expect this will last until the first ep of S9, but whatever. For the moment, I am so unexpectedly pleased.
And now I must go and socialise with family members. Always the people. Ruining things.
