The TARDIS is now a human but I won't eat a pear.*

[bending_sickle]

There are some things about DVD bundles that make me wish I had a) money to burn and b) access to ways I could burn that money to get shiny things. Some episodes in Supernatural, for example, make me yearn for a chance to listen to commentaries.

Unfortunately, apart from tracy_loo_who's detailed flailings, I haven't been able to find anything on Kripke, Singer and Edlund's The End commentary. I've googled and tag-haunted until my fingers fell off, and nothing. I'm this close to contacting stir_of_echoes, who was fantastic enough to transcribe the commentary for What is and What Should Never Be but I'm scared of coming off as crazy or demanding or whatnot. So can anyone offer any help on that?

You know what else is bothering me by being all "na na!" non-attainable? (No, it isn't any of the boys of Supernatural, because there has to be at least the illusion of attainability for there to be cause for the "na na!" dance.) It's this podbook and its MP3. I've downloaded both of them, but I can't get them to open. Winzip keeps saying "cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive" and WinRAR says "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged". Now, I've downloaded both files a number of times, so I know they're getting in alright, so I don't know. Is this happening to anyone else? I'd just like to check before I go all "waaah, I cannae get podbook!" to the audiofic archive.

...I'm wondering whether there's any community where I could pimp out my Devour picspam review. Just because it took so much time to put together... Must investigate further.


The Compliement Meme via lienne:

One little compliment can make you feel amazing.

So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. If you like, put this in your journal, too--and once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind you that you are fabulous and loved.

Don't forget to post this in your own LJ so I can compliment you, too!

40 Days of Supernatural Meme: Day 34 - Favorite hug?

All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2, hands down, followed by Mystery Spot. I guess it's the mix between one brother's desperation and the other's cluelessness over the why but melting into the embrace anyway. Furthermore, the way both brothers push each other away to arms length after Lazarus Rising's hug just kills the warm squishy feelings and Sam's lack of everything in Exile on Main St breaks my heart in the wrong way.

Coming Up:
Day 35 - Favorite Castiel scene? Favorite Bobby scene?
Day 36 - Favorite con?
Day 37 - Favorite Jared movie/other show?
Day 38 - Favorite Jensen movie/other show?
Day 39 - If you were a director who you would like to direct (Jared or Jensen) and what kind of movie?
Day 40 - What kind of movie/tv show would you like to see Jared and Jensen star in after SPN ends?

Maybe 7-zip could open it?

Re compliments: ILU! Also I need to come up with more sciencey stuff for you to contemplate...

Ur html is showing tho ;)

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

...I think it's just me and it hates me, 'cause it's working for other folks. *sigh*

Aw, I ♥ you too!

*tucks html away from sight*

[lienne.livejournal.com]

*sneaks up to you*

*draws a heart on your nose*

You are amazing and squishable and bring me much delight! :D

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

*glomps like a mad tentacled thing* ♥

[lienne.livejournal.com]

ooh tentacles~

[tracy-loo-who.livejournal.com]

Got the pingback about this entry and I still had the commentary lying around, so here you go. ;) It's just the audio since my friend recorded it for me, but you can sort of hear the episode in the background in some places.

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Askjdlsdkjf! Thank you so, so much! That's really sweet of you! I loved your post reactions to the commentary it made me so curious (I already adored the episode). Really, I'm just giddy with excitement and overwhelmed with thankfulness here. You are awesome ♥

And I'm going to gush a little in tiny text about your giant list of Dean/Castiel fic recommendations, your own writing - And I Will Walk on Water is one of my favorites - and your Castiel-centric episode reaction picspams, which are a highlight of my week and make me laugh out loud.

[tracy-loo-who.livejournal.com]

Sorry I fail at replying to anything in a timely fashion, but better late than never, right?

I hope you enjoyed the commentary, and thank you so much for your kind words! I'm particularly chuffed you enjoyed AIWWOW so much! :D

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed the commentary very much, thank you! I managed to sync it up with the muted-video and it was awesome :D

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Downloaded the podfic, works fine for me. :/ I wish I could somehow help you?

Meme: You already know by now how BRILLIANT I think you are, but anyway: ♥ YOU ARE MY SICKLE AND I LOVE YOU. :D

*drops down dead* stupid work is stupid, please excuse my incoherency

Miss you, sweets. *nudges*

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Podfic, why do you resist my grabby hands? ): Not that it's a terrible thing, because I could still read the text version (which ♥).

I LOVE YOU TOO! (Except when you're all absent OMG WHERE DID YOU GO I MISSED YOU! Work is no excuse an excuse but damn it, I missed you. You left my comments hanging all alone by themselves waiting for you ):

Psst! Allow me to pimp out the previous post which is chock full of pretty boys and snark?

[seschat.livejournal.com]

School has been hell this week, I basically haven't done anything else than sleeping (little) and studying (a shitload). *rolls eyes* So... really! I'm sorry! DDD: The comments shall not keep on hanging all alone by themselves any longer!

Yeah, I've skimmed over the post (and, okay, ogled the pictures), but haven't read your commentary yet or anything. :I That looks like a hell of a lot of work, though, you should crosspost it everywhere, yes!

*cuddles*

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

D: Sorry about school! Does it look like it's going to let up this coming week? Or is it exams-and-projects season? *snuggles poor Seschat*

It was a hell of a lot of work and time and I am so crazy to've done it. *shakes head* ...where would I crosspost it, though? I can only think of dean_sam, although that'd probably be enough exposure.

[seschat.livejournal.com]

There's got to be Jensen communities, right? Spam those! And those for movie reviews! :D

The coming week I am relaxing in Rome running around Rome in a frenzy doing touristy things! And probably being robbed, but whatever. Rome! *dun dun dun* :D

November's going to be a bitch, though. :/ Farewell, my Nanowrimo? D:

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

The coming week you are HAVING COFFEE WITH ME IN ROME. Well, I'll be gone Monday-Wednesday but alskjdsldkjf if you have time and the freedom and we can get together and have a cuppa, dude, THE SNUGGLES.

Ooh! Good idea! *trolls through Livejournal for communities*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

OMG THAT WOULD BE SO EPIC! ALSO, TERRIFYING, BUT MOSTLY EPIC! :D Although I don't even know what to tell you, detail-wise, I mean, we did get the schedule, but it's kind of really vague and :| BUT GOD THIS HAS GOT TO HAPPEN I DON'T EVEN CARE HOW.

Glad I could help, darling!

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I figured you'd be part of a group and on the clock, but! The potential for epic!

I've now spammed three communities with the review. *crosses fingers*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

The potential alone is hardly bearable! Imagine what'd happen if we were to actually meet up! :D

Go, girl! \o/ Pimp out your fantasticness!

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

PS: Terrifying? What nonsense! Why would that - *ponders* Your awesomeness that close would destroy me? (But seriously, I get it - oh hai person I've never met but actually really do know and eep! - but we'll muddle through and it'll be brilliant.)

[seschat.livejournal.com]

*snorts* My awesomeness would destroy you, right. But yeah - I'm wholeheartedly convinced of our brilliance. ♥ I really hope this works out! :|

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Sweets - quick question: is it T-shirt warm in Rome? Because if it is so, I'm basically fucked, I've pretty much only packed clothes appropriate for German weather. :/ IDEK, it's my mother's bad influence who snorts every time I say, "But it's warm in Rome! I've looked it up!"

:|

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Nooo0000oooo! It's not t-shirt weather! (Or, well, the only people wearing t-shirt are tourists, but they always do.) It's more of a jacket weather, or sweater weather. Not nearly as cold as in Germany, but definitely "ooh, I do believe it's autumn". I mean, it looks like we're only going to be in the less-than-20 degrees, and you're going to be outside a lot, or in giant marble ruins, and it will be cool, so bring something to snuggle in.

♥

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, love, you're a doll! This really helped! I've forgotten how exhausting packing can be, Jesus, I feel completely drained. And I already know I've packed much too much, but what if I spill coffee all over myself (it's been known to happen), or fall into some kind of gigantic puddle of mud (also been known to happen) or IDK OKAY. Going crazy here. *shifty eyes*

By the way, this is where we'll be staying:

Hotel "Bruna"
Via Marghera 13

It's pretty close to the Termini or so I've heard?

*cuddles up to you* ♥

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

You fell into a puddle of mud? Oh darling, that's sucky. *imagines you like Sam in Bad Day at Black Rock falling face-first to the ground*

I once spilled coffee all down my pants just before class. Worst thing, I was staying at a youth hostel at the time (long story) and all my clothes were in a suitcase at the train station in a locker. Cue Sickle walking all the way back, lugging out clothes, changing in the bathroom, and paying the locker again for its use.

Ooh! Pack an umbrella. Just in case. Rome in autumn can be wet.

And shiny, your hotel's pretty close to where my internship is!

*snuggles*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that indeed is shiny!

If you only knew what kind of things have happened to me over the years, oh dear. ;p Your story actually sounds exactly like something that would happen to me, though. *grins* My poor little Sickle. *pets*

Umbrella is already all packed and ready for use!

*snuggles into your snuggle* ♥

[seschat.livejournal.com]

(Dear God, I'm sorry for my complete incoherency! This is horrible. *hides*)

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Coherency is overrated like unicorns in bubblegum castles. ♥

[seschat.livejournal.com]

UNICORNS IN BUBBLEGUM CASTLES ARE IN NO WAY OVERRATED.

♥

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Also, appropriate icon is appropriate. *hides* ngaaah, sorry sorry! I swear, I haven't forgotten about you! D:

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

*points at icon* ;)
