It's Supernatural DVD Day!

[agt_spooky]

SQUEE! I'm so excited I can barely stand it. :-) Boy, it's gonna be a long day at work! My incredibly wonderful husband will be standing outside of Best Buy as soon as the doors open in a few hours to pick up not only a set for me, but one for charityflint as well, since she has to work today, too.

Then Charity is coming over tonight and we're going to drown ourselves in SPN extras and the Paley DVD. I'm so excited to finally see all the goodies that other lucky fans already have.

My poor husband will be banished to the bedroom for the evening as Charity and I take over the TV and squeal for a couple of hours. :-)

Oh, and I'm wearing my Metallicar shirt today in honor of the DVD release. :-)

Let's see, how 'bout some other random musings...

First, I must thank my friend shadow_walker3. Because of her, myself and Charity were finally able to see the unaired pilot of Young MacGyver, with Jared Padalecki. Ummm....I can kinda see why it didn't get picked up. LOL! Jared looked like he was about 15 years old! I'm a huge fan of the original MacGyver and would have loved to have seen this spin off get off the ground. I think subsequent episodes would probably have gotten much better, but it didn't get a chance. I'm really glad I did finally get to see it, though. Jared's smile and laugh are wonderful. :-)

Second...I got to march in the Labor Day parade yesterday. Yay! It was for my Citizen's Fire Academy class. We were right at the front of the parade, sandwiched in between two of the huge engines. Can you said loud? Luckily the rain stopped right before the parade kicked off and held off until we were finished. The weather didn't seem to keep anyone indoors, as there were a zillion people along the sidewalks. I got to throw candy for half the parade then carry our banner for the other half. A couple news crews were out. Maybe I got on TV! :-) I hadn't been in a parade since I was a kid, so I really did have a fantastic time.

Kinda sad that yesterday marked the last day of summer, though. Hard to believe that June, July and August flew by so fast!

When I woke up yesterday morning and it was raining steadily, I resigned myself to the fact that there wasn't going to be a parade. At the same time I was hit by a plot bunny as I lay in bed listening to the rain. Eager to start writing, I got up and made some breakfast. I'd only gotten two sentences down when my husband said, "Um, it's stopped raining." I'm like "What? Now?! But I just started writing!" It killed me to have to put my writing away and get dressed for the parade. Luckily the bunny stayed firmly put in my head and didn't go hopping off while I was marching and throwing candy. :-) Got back home and pounded out Slowly, Softly, Gently in a couple hours and I'm really pleased with it.

And lastly...who else is enjoying Jensen in Dark Angel? When I found out that it was going to be shown on SF channel, my dear friend Charity said she'd tape the eps for me. Then she told me he was in 18 of the 22 eps. So I just went out and bought the second season on DVD. :-) I absolutely love the character of Alec and Jensen is freakin' HOT. Alec reminds me so much of Dean, with the cool car, the leather jacket, the smart ass attitude and even the humor. I've watched up through Brainiac so far, and I hear the next one, The Berrisford Agenda, is a really good Alec ep. Oh, and bonus for me, with Martin Cummins in this season as well. He was my favorite on Poltergeist:The Legacy!

Ok, that's all from here for today. Only six and a half hours until SPN DVDs!

It's TODAY? *dismayed look* For some reason I was thinking it was another couple of weeks away... something tells me I was confusing this with the start of the new season.

*goes to see if there's any money to scrape out of the checkbook*

I adore Alec. I bought season 2 of DA over Christmas, and haven't regretted it yet. You'll really like The Berrisford Agenda. Pretty much the best episode ever, in my opinion.

Called off work and I am on my way out of the door.

WOOT!!! I know that they are probably mad because I didn't go in, but you know? Shit happens.

*dances at the thought of extras, extras and more extras!!*

Argh. Amazon hadn't shipped mine (I ordered it with a book that won't be released until tomorrow) so I thought I'd go to Best Buy after work and see what the price was on their version, with the extra disc, and then cancel the Amazon order if the price is comparable.
Only I just got an email from Amazon that it shipped this morning and should arrive NEXT Monday.

Grrrrr.

:P

That is all.

Martin Cummins is a hotass, don't you think so?

IT IS TUESDAY AND I DON'T HAVE MY DVDS I AM UPSET. I have to WAIT for them. Geez.

You might think that after waiting months for the set, a few more days wouldn't matter but YOU WOULD BE WRONG. ARGH.

Okay, I'm fine. Really. I'm fine. *throws pillows across room in fit of rage*

I took half a day yesterday, expecting my DVDs to arrive via UPS. I even left a note for my UPS driver, since he tends to assume that people are not home without actually checking. About 45 minutes after I got home, he buzzed. I practically broke my leg, rushing downstairs. Turns out he saw my note and didn't realize the package he had was for 503, not 403. Oh, and the name was completely different, too.

*facepalm*

So, that noise you heard yesterday? No, not a sonic boom. That was me.

Helloo, Alec...

I nearly fainted when I found out that Jensen had been on Dark Angel. While I did like the series I didn't see all of it, so I did catch the DA marathon, and ohh, I am so glad I did. Phew, talk about be all you can be--and the first thing he does in that cell is TAKE HIS SHIRT OFF!! (Drop and give me 20, baby!!)


The Berrisford Agenda (as I'm sure you know now) was eletrifying. Really superb backstory for Alec, and I could see Dean peering around the corner. And he took his shirt off (again, sigh)and wore glasses. AND a suit (on Supernatural, I am such a Suit Slut, since the guys don't wear them often)
