more randomness

1) Jammies Day for the win!

2) Sometimes when I'm sitting outside and it's nearly dark, just the glimmer of the sun setting behind the black shapes of the mountains, it's so amazing that I want to paint it, take photos, make poetry, do SOMETHING to show you all how awesome it is. As in awe-inspiring.

It also makes me want a cigarette. Which is weird because I don't smoke and have no urge to, except sometimes, when the sun is setting. WTF?

3) Tonight, while watching the sunset, it was so disturbingly quiet. Like, 500 crickets, some wind in the trees, the occasional bird or bat flitting past... And then utter silence. That kind of ominous "the crickets have even shut the fuck up - the big scary uber-monster is coming." Like seriously, calm before the storm, earthquake-weather kind of silence. And then once I was thoroughly creeped out, the air and crickets and birds started up again.

Also, have I seen way too many movies or what? A little sielnce shouldn't be creepy.

4) Explosions In The Sky is my new favorite music/band/whatever *ever*.

5) Dark Angel sucks. Not because it sucks intrinsically (which it does) but because it doesn't have enough Jensen in it to be clearly worth my while. But I live in hope because sometimes he takes his shirt off, and me? Well, I'm easy.

6) My husband brings me brownies when I bleed. He wins the awesomness award.

Sounds like Santa Barbara where my brother lives. He & his wife found this place up a mountain around 2...3...4 million dollar homes and they rent on the cheap and live in this utterly glorious landscape where they can see ocean and mountain and sunset from their front room. Anyway sounds like you saw that M Night Shamylan sp? movie with Mark Walberg. I didn't see it but keep seeing the previews on my "Jumper" DVD where the bees start disappearing then humankind starts disappearing. Sorry just a little stream of consciousness there.

Close - I'm in Santa Cruz. No ocean view, but lots of mountains. :)

I don't even watch horror movies, but I guess you just pick up stuff. It's creepy when all of nature just goes silent! Makes you realize how much ambient noise there is, even in the forest.

3) HAHAHAHA!!! You will be changed forever now!! You will no longer be able to deal with flickering lights or wearing white nightgowns! HAHAHA!

It really is funny how it affects you. Also, today I was driving along and the song Rooster by Alice in Chains came on and I immediately knew that it was from the end of Folsom Prison Blues. Because I'm a big fat SPN dork! YAY!

5) Isn't that horrible?! I realized that although I didn't really like the show, I liked a few of the characters (faves being Alec, Original Cindy, and Joshua). And there would be entire episodes where one or more of them wouldn't be there. WTF, mate?!

And have you finished watching the show? If not, where are you in the series?

OMG - so true! I have one white nightie that I only wear when it's super hot, and now every time I put it on, I briefly wonder if I'm going to die and thank god that I'm not in SPN, so my chances are slim. ;)

And I'm never going to be able to hear Back in Black or Don't Fear the Reaper or a ton of other songs without thinking of the boys. (I'm counting that one a win, actually.)

Original Cindy is great. I've love more about her. In fact, there could be an episide that's just her and Alec and their day, with no Max or Logan and I'd think it was the best DA ever.

I'm at 2.9, I think. Not very far in, and I skipped all but about 3 eps of season 1. No Jensen = no point. My husband filled in the plot holes, and frankly, there weren't very many. :P

1) Jammies Day for the win! I pray someday to find the wherewithall to carve out time for Jammies Day. And really do nothing!

And I'm glad you've found time to sit and watch sunsets and apprecieate them.

Sometimes you just have to SEIZE jammyday. :)

I haven't been so good at meditating for reals, but I've been trying to watch the sunset for a while every day... I mean, it's happening *every* day - I should look at it, if the sun and sky are going to go to such lengths to be so pretty!
