Quote of the Day: yumemisama, here

I need to learn more Chinese. It's a very satisfying language to be angry in. Have you ever seen the tone marks on romanized Mandarin? You could hurt yourself on diacriticals like that. Ranting in Chinese is like riding rough over a rocky mountain sentence, with bad shocks and nothing but a pile of exclamation points to stop you at the end. Whoever you're yelling at just has to hang on for dear life and hope to get through it without hitting anything flammable.

I hope they forgive us once we've saved them all.

40 Days of Supernatural Meme: Day 40 - What kind of movie/tv show would you like to see Jared and Jensen star in after SPN ends?

In the efforts of not continuing with the type-casting the boys have been subect to recently - My Bloody Valentine, Devour, Friday the 13th - I'd like to see them steer clear of horror for a while. I know they enjoy action scenes, so I'll like them to have some of that in their roles, and while they both do humour amazingly well, it's dramatic scenes that make awards people and others of their ilk perk up their ears. And boy, do I want these boys to get recognition. But I guess the one thing I'd ask of a show or film I'd like to see them in is good writing and the opportunity to have good, complex, three-dimensional characters. Other than that, well, it's all good.

lissa_ann's Review Caged Heat - "From the looks of that cell, not even Sam is tall enough to paint on the ceiling, and there wasn't anything in the room that he could stand on." That's what I thought too!
yourlibrarian's Review Caged Heat - "I take it that Castiel destroyed the prison full of monsters at Sam's request, including the shapeshifter babies that Dean had such an issue with in 6.02. But hey, as long as he doesn't have to watch, I guess it doesn't matter!" My thoughts exactly.
