I did even less today than I did yesterday. Although I did go for a three-hour walk in a dress I'd only worn once back in 2001 and that a) finally fits me again, b) I figured I was allowed to wear on a summer afternoon in the city. I also called mom about picking her up at the train station (a short walk from home) but she was all, "Of course I'll call when I'm there!" and "Oh no no no no! Don't pick me up! (Go out, do things with friends you don't have!)" So which is it?

So I meme and channel surf desperately because not only is nothing interesting on, but it's the same nothing interesting as yesterday and on two channels each time. Also, I'm very upset and in withdrawal because they seem to have taken off Lie To Me. I mean, seriously, I finally get a constant influx of the awesomeness that is Tim Roth and they take it away? (Oh, how I loved Captives (1994) - Fanvid.) Damn, I really need to watch Lie to Me from the start. Meanwhile, the first of three Tim Roth is Super Cool compilations of his roles:

30 Days of Supernatural Meme: Day 8 - Your favorite Sam crying scene

Okay, confession: I hate watching Sam cry. Not because I hate seeing Sam in emotional pain - I am, after all, all over the angst - but because I can't stand how Jared cries. I just, gah. Loathe it. All strange lip contorsions and tears everywhere and there's me cringing in the background. I can't remember all of his crying scenes, but the ones that completely pull me out of the moment the most are Heart and No Rest For The Wicked.

I'm sorry, and I think Jared is a fine enough actor who totally owns me when it comes to geekboy Sam and a few other incarnations of the boy wonder as well - notably, I loved his poessessed!Sam (although not so much his Lucifer, but then no one can hold a candle to Mark's incarnation).

But I can't take his crying and I also think - since I'm going on about it - that his angry McShouty act needs work. His quiet angry is brilliant, but he's a big man with a huge lung capacity and scary arms and yet when he's all, Rawr, Sam Angry!, I'm just meh.

So, to answer the meme's question, my favorite crying!Sam scene is Tall Tales's brave little soldier.

40 Days of Supernatural Meme: Day 8 - If you had to choose some song for Sam, Dean, Sam/Dean what it would be?

Show did it best with Kansas' Carry On, My Wayward Son:

Although I also think Placebo's Running Up That Hill is a very good fit. And hey! Guess who made a fanvid to it ages back? Why yes, your favorite obsolete farming tool herself!

And finally, another Placebo song, Protège-moi, which I can show-case to y'all in French and canon:

or in English as Protect Me and AU Wincest (and words cannot express how much I love this fanvid):
