"We gotta get out of this place, girl, there's a better life for me and you."

[nausicaa83]

Woke up at 5 this morning, and did my second-to-last medical exam this year at the hospital. Lung x-rays, nothing there, as usual. The big news is my aunt, doctor and I talked a lot yesterday, and we decided to change my oncologist after the next check-up in December. It's been long coming, and I definitely had to do it. I already have contact numbers and everything, I just have to tell my therapist next.

It was weird coming back from the hospital at 8 am. Everyone else on that bus was starting their day, and I was sitting there thinking "thank god it's over, it's over, yes yes yes." I hate x-rays so much, because they remind me of radiotherapy. Hate them with a burning fury.

Anyway, let's move to more pleasant topics, this new season of Supernatural is awesome. After the sixth and seven season, which had great specific episodes (like Death's Door), but a boring main storyline, the return of Jeremy Carver set the story back where it belonged, and they're already starting to tie loose ends from the fifth season. I never stopped liking Supernatural, but this season I'm back to loving it with mad passion! So happy!

(It was also incredibly creepy because when I woke up this morning I had We Gotta Get Out Of This Place playing in my head, and then they used it in the opening of the episode, what are the chances? This is witchcraft!)

I have some news about Skyfall, they uploaded the opening credits, without the actual credits, here. I'm so excited about this, since those are among my favourite opening credits of all time, hands down.

Speaking of which, there's this great website that lets you take a fake but incredibly realistic MI6 exam to work as a handler for their agents. You have to guide your agent through six simulations, telling him/her how to get out of dangerous situation, enemy traps, terrorist lairs, and so on. So far I'm doing great, I'm halfway through the fourth one, and apparently I'm "ruthless but motivate". Good to know. :D

Oh, yay, thanks so much!*goes off to download*

I have some free time this morning so expect to be hearing from me later.:)

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

I have therapy in an hour, I can't wait to be back and hear more from you! It feels like watching it all over again for the very first time! ♥

[stardust-made.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you're enjoying it, too.♥

Oh God, I laughed at "Tall Tales"! Their versions of how things happened at the start—so hilarious! (It reminded me of an episode of The X-Files that I love.) I particularly loved Sam's bitch face when (according to Dean) he says, high-pitched and SO gay, "What do you think you're doing?" when he sees Dean kissing his 'classy' girl.

And then Sam the Hugger and his wobbly lip when Dean patted him on the shoudler, I just couldn't erase the grin from my face. I gotta say, I've had my moments of raised eyebrows at Jared's acting—just a scene here and there, nothing big—but in those two episodes, where we see him as a ruthless type and then as Dean's over-the-top version of Sam, I'm really impressed!

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

That episode is still one of my favourites, I laugh even thinking about it. "You're too precious for this world, you brave little soldier!" XDDDDDDDDD

Up until the start of the fifth season I always thought Jensen's acting was superior to Jared's, until the episode The End (which is still my favourite Supernatural episode), where Jared was so incredibly good. After that, you really start to notice how good he usually is, all the nuances he puts in his character. *_______*

Well, I just watched "Roadkill". Man, I did not see this coming. Great stuff, and a nice change of structure for the episode. I love Tricia Helfer! I remember her on the cover of Elle magazine many, many years ago when she was really young and had just won the 'Face of the 1990s' modelling competition. I do hope her career as a model doesn't hold people back from giving her parts, because she is a damn fine actress in my opinion.

On to "Heart"!

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I love that episode. So unexpected at the end, and so bittersweet. I loved seeing Sam and Dean trying to reason and be nice to a "monster", it's a great starting point for them, when they start humanizing what they usually hunt.

Heart is one of the best episodes of the season. So, so beautiful!

[stardust-made.livejournal.com]

Yay, even more excited about 'Heart'!

Meanwhile, can you help me? I've been trying to identify the song at the start of S01 E17 (Hell House)—the one that plays at the background while Dean is tucking in a plastic spoon in Sammy's semi-open, snoozing mouth, then taking a photo on his mobile. I believe you have an icon with Dean doing the drums of the song? I have the soundtrack of S01, but there are tons of songs and I don't know which one is this one.:/

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

It's one of my absolute favourites, Fire of Unknown Origin by Blue Oyster Cult (with the band's logo used in the Hell House too :D ), I had it as a ringtone for months!

[stardust-made.livejournal.com]

You're a star! I wondered if it was that one, but the version on the soundtrack is SO different than the one in the episode.:/ I need to track it down now. I love the one in the episode, like gah!

ETA: Found it! I had to find the band's albums. I don't know what version was included in the SPN soundtrack I downloaded.

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

I usually get crazy browsing YouTube until I find THE perfect version I was looking for, and then get even crazier until I can download it. Lately, with snipMP3.com, at least I get spared the second craziness. :D

[stardust-made.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD! MY POOR BABY!*cries* Poor, traumatized Sammy. And Dean's face at the end, oh! What is the matter with these people??? What's with the angst fest?! I mean, sure, throw a girl a bone (metaphorically speaking...sadly!) by giving her some goregeous naked Sam to distract her, then add some great Dean grinning up, happy, in a striptease joint, AND THEN GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT ALL AWAY.*bawls*

Well, that's me going to bed all warm and peaceful, then.

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

Just so you know, it will be more or less always like this. There are some wonderful comic episodes later on, but mostly, it is an angst fest. I love it because it feels realistic to me, all the pain and the trauma all the time, but yes, it takes a while to getting adjusted to.

[stardust-made.livejournal.com]

Oh, goodness.:/ The proportion of angst in The X-Files was about what I could take without running for the hills. I'm super pleased to see they followed up "Heart" with "Hollywood Babylon"—I'm in the middle of watching it, but had to stop to tell you how much I'm loving Dean in it, and his 'wonderful' food, and Sammy's bewildered face at his brother.:) It's a nice way to simmer the anguish down.

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

I love Dean's relationship with food, it's like he's an eternal seventeen-year-old boy with an addiction for pie. :D
