Sanitarium Keys
It's Thursday and I am feeling the need to post something.

I want to post something even though ...

... I don't really have any words of wisdom to impart.

... I don't have another ramble ready.

... I don't have any quizzes or quotes.

I'm simply sitting here in my office, listening to one of my "Supernatural Mix" CD's as we continue our apartment inspections and I get up and down turning off and resetting alarms.

I was thinking about tonight ... and last week ... and enjoying that thrill that just seems to grow in my heart on Thursdays as the morning departs and the afternoon begins to edge towards the hour when the show will start.

No one here understands the small grin that creeps onto my face on Thursdays and stays there for most of the day (barring any unforseen stupid behavior from my Moron) in anticipation of enjoying another episode ... another hour (okay ... approx. 42 minutes after commercials are removed) with the Winchester boys as they continue their journey.  

After last week's On the Head of a Pin, I must admit to being a bit worn out emotionally.  This journey has definitely taken some serious turns for both our boys.  Angst and heartache can only go for so long before I'm simply a puddle on the floor.  After last week, I was certainly heading in the direction of that puddle.   

You know ... at the end of Sex and Violence, my heartbroken response was ... "Crap ... you boys are so NOT okay!"

Then came Death Takes a Holiday, and my horrified response was ... "Crap!  CrapCrapCrap!"

At the end of last week's On the Head of a Pin, I was my sniffling response was ... "H.O.L.Y. C.R.A.P.!!!!!!"

Even with the brief hiatus interrupting between S&V and DTaH, these three episodes packed so much information, so much emotion, so much heartache that I truly felt like breathing was going to become in issue as surely as it did for Dean when Alistair had him by the throat. 

The boys have certainly had a rough time and, as fans following right along, so have we. 

I'd like to think that this week's episode will be of lighter fare.  One of those little breaks that we get occasionally.  According to the glimpse (my only spoilage - please don't say anything if you know more) given in the preview last week, it certainly appears to be that way ... yet ... I happened to find out that tonight is written by my pal Sera Gamble, who is not exactly known for her "light and silly" fun episodes.  While Sera can pack some "fun" lines or situations in her tales, knowing the boys the way she does ...

Faith ... "I'm not going to die in a hospital where the nurses aren't even hot."

Bloodlust ... "You hear a couple of severed heads and a pile of dead cows and you're Mister Sunshine."

Heart ... Sam & Madison ... Dean leaving  ... fistpump ... you get the idea.  *grins* 

Houses of the Holy ... Magic Fingers ... 'nuf said.

Yet, Sera's episodes tend to not be about the funny ... they just have brief moments ... and so, I have to admit I've got those tummy wiggles of anxious anticipation. 

And I didn't want to have them by myself.  I wanted to share. 

Wasn't that kind of me? 

Perhaps I'm wrong ... perhaps since Ben penned such an incredibly dramatic filled episode last week, this week Sera will try her comedy wings. 

I guess we shall see. 

Meantime ... it's now less than eight hours and I'm into my afternoon.  Alarms have stopped for the day and my Moron has a project that should keep him busy and out of my hair for most all of the afternoon. 

To round out this posting that has no point ... figured I'd share a couple of my geekier moments.  *facepalm*

1)  On the way to work this morning, CCR's "Run through the Jungle" began playing.  I answered my cellphone expecting my friend for whom I have the song set.  *sighs*  The song was on the radio.

2)  I've been doing something this season that is absurd but gives me a silly happy.  I've been checking the episode times against the other seasons.  We won't go into my little book of mathematics.  It's embarrassing enough that I've felt the need to know this information. I've tracked each season ... episodes one through 16 ... and these are my results:

--- So far, with 16 episodes, Season One still had the most time, followed by Season Four, then Season Two, and finally Season Three.  (Of course, Season Three will now be permanently in last place as it only has the 16 episodes to compare.)

Actual tallys?  
Season One --- 11 hours, 21 minutes, and 19 seconds
Season Four --- 11 hours, 14 minutes, and 20 seconds
Season Two --- 11 hours, 5 minutes, and 13 seconds
Season Three --- 10 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds

Yeah ... I know ... I need a life.  *sigh*  Just please don't anyone mention this to my girlies.  The twinks wil NEVER let me live it down!  *grins*

Happy Thursday, ya'll!!!

Enjoy the show ... cause happy or sad it's still the best to be had. 

*I have sooooo got to get off this computer now*

Rap, my Rap.

It's moments like this I've missed the most.

*hugs*

Not yet, dear one, but it's closer than it was. *winks*

Oh Keeper! *clings* I love your voice, it's fun even when you ramble about nothing. Which reminds me, I haven't had a chance to read your ramble on OtHoaP! *runs off to read it*

Lucky you guys! I have to wait until 6pm tomorrow night, when it airs on Space up here in Canada. Oh, the prolonged sweet torture of waiting. And do you know how hard it is to NOT check the SPN websites Friday morning because I don't want to read any spoilers? Ugh!

So, Rose? Get to see it yet?

What part of Canada are you in?

I saw it. I loved it. I saw it again. And again...and again! After last week's emotionally intense episode (which I also totally loved) it was a relief to revel in this lighter, comedic episode. And clean shaven Jensen in those suits? Now that was a treat for these eyes!

I live in south central British Columbia, about a 4 hour's drive from Vancouver.

Oh, my yes. Let's just say that this week's ramble began a bit differently than my others. :-D Suspenders!!!! Awesome!

*scratches head*
Really, Whims? Sweetie? Honey?
*giggles self silly*
I loved this ep & didn't realize Sera had written it... Sera. Bloodlust. Oh.
The elevator scene, right? *shivers*
Um. Uh. Never mind?
*thinks "that was SUPER gross! and the Krip must have cackled uproariously"*

Giddy? Really? See! This is a good reason to just zip it 110% of the time... I don't know how to communicate properly!

I think Kripke may have pulled Sera aside and added some notes ... or else, she's simply been hanging with him too long! *snickers*

I find that really freakin' funny that you answered your cell phone... NOT that I'm laughing at you, MM. I'm actually laughing at the image of me doing that exact same thing. Different song(s) though. Shambala, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap are my primary incoming tones. Cuz they're my faves. But. Shambala is the only song I listen to regularly. The others I just like as ringtones. Especially Dirty Deeds (the bass guitar chords makes for an EXCELLENT 30 second sound byte).
Sera wrote Thursday's ep? That surprises me a little... She did a great job. I loved the way the boys played it. Believable. Especially Dean in the elevator doing "public service" by telling Sam that he overshares... OMG! That line just had me rolling on the floor!!! :-D
Take care & cheers!

Laughing WITH me, right??? Hmm.

I started to comment on your thought of Sera doing a good job, and then I recalled that she's not your fave writer at times. Yes ... it was a good one ... and the ending was just right. The Sera twist I'm used to getting.

Most definitely... If I shared even a fraction of my wacky, you'd use those keys on me *i.e. the straight-jacket on*

Point of clarification: Sera and I have a serious love/hate relationship (all in my head, of course!)... She & Raelle co-wrote Faith and I've been enamoured with them every since, you know what I'm saying??? SHE WROTE HEART!!! for goodness sakes! *grinning* Look at it this way, huh? The higher the pedestal, the harder they fall when they make decisions that I've got issue with, right?

The thing about Sera is that she's AWESOME at grey (bloodlust, anyone?!). Truth is? I adore Sera Gamble! Just with this epi I was surprised (cause it's light) but upon reflection not surprised (cause at heart it's that grey thing she does so well).

I actually deeply admire all of the qualities about Sera that some people bitch about most... It's only when she cops out that she irritates me. It's actually her writing the episode which makes me seriously question the intentionality of casting a more demon believable actor to play Zachariah. Seriously.

Zo! True ... I know I've written it before ... figure I will again ... but I simply love this show!

Four days and 10 hours to go ... give or take a few minutes.

Not that I would be counting or anything like that!
