After the horrifying nature of ending up paint-splattered and bitter yesterday, today took a turn for the better when natural light rapidly made it apparent that a third coat of evil white paint would not be necessary. Thank fuck for that. I have a problem with heights (I mean, I'm not terrified, and I have deliberately jumped off a bridge before, but I've also fallen out of an attic and I don't like being on uncertain ground at any height above about six feet) and sadly for me, my flat has stupid high ceilings that I can in no way reach which resulted in me clinging precariously to the top rung of a ladder that always seemed in danger of tipping over. It upset me. So no third coat meant no ladder clinging which, in turn, meant good times.

Which I celebrated by going shopping and spending £22 on fucking light bulbs. I don't even want to talk about the scowl I gifted the woman behind the till with when she announced the total. I also bought a Cadet McCoy action figure from TK Maxx though, so all was not lost.

And, after a nap, I caught up on the last three episodes of Supernatural and episode five of Stargate: Universe.

All of these catch-up shenanigans have made me miss True Blood and Generation Kill, damnit.

Oh, and veraxia, I finally posted your parcel yesterday =)

EDIT: I just opened the fridge and immediately asked myself why the milk was sporting a Scottish flag only to almost simultaneously realise that I. Live. In. Scotland. Duh, Lorraine.

Oh, bullshit, Supernatural 5.03. Fucking bullshit.

(I have plans to get all caught up and comment and make posts and everything but I couldn't contain the level of annoyance I'm left with after watching that episode. I yelled at my computer screen I was so highly fucking unimpressed. WOMEN DO NOT EXIST MERELY TO MOTIVATE THE ACTIONS OF MEN. And also other annoying things.)

Television!

• Iron shirts for work

In good news, I finally finished the Sam, Dean and Bobby fanlisting (Family Don't End With Blood). I've been so rubbish with fanlistings lately that it makes me sad. The problem, I think, is that my work schedule is totally fucked. I have no routine because I'm taking extra hours all over the place (I worked 92 hours of overtime in June). But, hey, at least I might be able to pay my bills this summer so that's good, right?

EDIT: I CANNOT FIND MY PASSPORT AND I CAN'T OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT IT. I HAD IT YESTERDAY SO WHERE THE FUCK HAS IT GONE?!

01. Happy belated birthday to veraxia and th3newblack! veraxia, I have a gift in mind for you but I'm broke so it may be delayed (read: will be delayed). Sorry!

02. Never before in my life have I watched the weather forecast and willed the bands of rain to actually cover the city I'm living in. They didn't. They surrounded Glasgow like the fucking teases they are and I almost cried. TOO HOT. (Actually, it is cooler today. Thank fuck.)

03. Oh, Stargate: Atlanis, you are so strange. I still love half of you passionately and get really fucking annoyed at the other half. You SERIOUSLY lost your way in season three and didn't even give me enough Lorne to compensate. Dude, how much do I love Lorne? And he's not even in it that much but seriously, LOVE HIM. There was a run of really good episodes in season three (The Real World, Common Ground, Me and Mrs. Miller) but there was some real dross in there two. Besides which, I don't really care about the Wraith or the Replicators. And can we please stop having people immediately set themselves up as enemies when they're really on the same side as SGA? BORED NOW. Oh well, at least I got to see Lorne painting in Sunday (EVEN THOUGH OMG, CARSON!). Even though Elizabeth completely undermined herself time and time again, I'm not overly pleased with her replacement by Carter. I'm going to stop now because this is really disjointed and no one cares. YOU SHOULD, THOUGH!

04. I forgot to renew my domain and it expired last night. Ooops. It's fixed now though, so yay.

05. My work rang me this morning and my immediate thought was 'I'm DEFINITELY not supposed to be at work today!' followed by me panicking because I probably was (I wasn't. They wanted to know if I could do some overtime).

06. Barclay's fucked me over again earlier this week, so that's nice. I'm very not impressed and may have to kill them all.

07. I have lots of things to do today (including the Sam, Dean & Bobby fl) but I'm all muzzy and I just want to lie on my bed and do nothing. Because I'm so cool like that.

To conclude, I leave you with the words I shared with bekkis in her post on this episode: SWEET HOLY MOSES!

SERIOUSLY, bekkis, IF YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS THE END OF IT, YOU WERE WRONG!!! My images may not be shiny and beautifully edited, like yours, BUT THEY HAVE HEART!

SO LET US ONCE MORE LOOK AT THE MYRIAD REASONS THAT DEAN "FOR THE WIN" WINCHESTER IS BETTER THAN SAMMY "PISS YOUR PANTS" WINCHESTER! ( FUCK YEAH! )

Because bekkis will not be convinced, may I present to you:

THE MANY AND VARIED REASONS BY DEAN "MAY AS WELL BE THE FONZ HE'S SO COOL" WINCHESTER IS BETTER THAN CRYBABY!SAMMY WINCHESTER!! ( Cut for abuse of CAPSLOCK and !!!! )
THE GAUNTLET IS THROWN, bekkis.

I have a confession to make. When I first started watching Supernatural, I loved Sam. He was hands down my favourite character and the hotness of Jared Padalecki made me, well, hot. But over time, my opinions have flipped the other way. I got bored with Sam constant frowny face and Jared's hair lessened my my impure thoughts, whereas Dean just got hotter and hotter, and more interesting as a character. But in this week's Supernatural?



Hi, Sam! In the words of bekkis, I LOVE YOUR FACE! But, ( cut for spoilers )

I got tagged for that 15 hot men meme a few weeks ago. I should really do it. If only so I have an excuse to look at pictures of hot men for a while...

TV Flailings:

01. Supernatural has been renewed for another season. Hurrah! Also, the teaser for the next episode looks amazing. (Of course, One Tree Hill and Smallville have also been renewed. Who's watching those programmes? I tried to watch One Tree Hill the other day because I noticed Danneel Harris and bekkis has me taking more of an interest in her than I would have otherwise. I got about 4 minutes in before I had to stop. Man, it's bad.)

02. Leverage!!! The last episode was last night. I'm currently downloading it impatiently. IT BETTER BE AWESOME! (Like it could fail to be awesome.)

03. The Vampire Diaries. Dude, I'm so going to enjoy this series if it gets picked up. It's going to be full of the LOLs.

In other news, that interview that I had last week went okay. I'm pretty sure that I won't get the job, but it was probably good experience. However, I had a missed call from them yesterday which I returned this morning. Apparently they've readvertised the job but 'we haven't discounted your application'. Yeah, whatever. If you've readvertised you're hoping to discount my application. *sigh*

I went for a 'nap' last night, just after 7 and didn't wake up until after midday... Eh, oops?

Let's talk about the TV I caught up on after my huge and long nap.

01. Supernatural. ( 4x11 )

02. Grey's Anatomy. ( 5x13 )

03. Private Practice. ( 2x12 )

04. Leverage. ( 1x07 )

I'm getting ready for work and checking out TV downloads. New Supernatural, Leverage and Grey's Anatomy mean I've been awake for 15 minutes and my day is looking good! Hopefully the thought of watching all the pretty when I get home will sustain me through the day.

(Also, today I have to pay to get to work today. There's absolutely no chance of dodging the conductor when you travel at this time of the morning, which reduces my finances greatly, leaving me with roughly £2 until pay day. This is not good given that I'm working all weekend too and will somehow have to get there. Damn you, pay day, for not being until Tuesday.)

In the continuing adventures of me crossing things of my to-do list, I present to you my latest fanlisting:

What The Hell?! - Supernatural 2.15: Tall Tales

That's right, people, I finally own my very own, very shiny Supernatural fanlisting *squeezes it*
