The picture of the day is my dad's old guitar, back from the music store. It had been in storage for fifteen years, but surprisingly it was all right, except obviously for the strings. I had them put new ones on, and it only cost me fifteen euros. They told me the little bone thing at the top (always at hand with the mot juste, aren't I?) will probably need replacing in the near future though. Me, I'm still shocked it wasn't eaten by termites or something like that.



I'll try and play a few chords on it later. Seeing as I've been learning the ukulele for more than a year now, I'll have to re-learn all chords and where my fingers are supposed to go. It's going to be fun. My therapist told me I need to learn to accept and let my anger free, so this is probably going to help with that. :D

In fandom news, we've had some great season finales: both Person of Interest and Once Upon A Time blew my mind, and I'm very excited to see where they're going next. I finally dropped The Vampire Diaries: it's not that I didn't like it anymore, but it was getting really boring, and I hadn't been looking forward to it for quite some time anyway. And with me having a Netflix subscription now there's a lot of shows I want to see and a very limited amount of time to do it, I have to cut my losses. That's why I decided to drop Sleepy Hollow as well: I loved the first season, but never got around to see the second one. I noticed how most reviewers didn't like this new season at all, and then I read an article that they're going to change the show even further next season, and give it a more procedural feel, with the monster of the week and all. That was the end of it for me.

Yesterday's Supernatural episode was kind of meh. Mostly just a bridge to the finale next week. I'm still cautiously trusting them to do the right thing and fix that horrible mess they wrote themselves into with the last episode, but if they don't, and they're actually planning on reversing to the same tired tropes from the first two seasons, well that's it for me, I won't be back for the next season. Again, lots of great shows, too little time to stick to the ones that've disappointed me. But still, there's one episode left, I would be very happy to be proven wrong.

And while I was typing this entry the mailman rang with this little package from Singapore:



It's Eggsy's necklace from Kingsman The Secret Service, and it's amazing. Way better than I dared hope. It's a perfect replica, sturdy, and it looks incredible. Plus it arrived just in time for the release of the movie in digital hd tomorrow. I only watched it once in the cinema two months ago, and ever since I've been dying to experience it in the original language. And now I have my necklace to wear while watching it too! Tomorrow can't come soon enough! ♥

Non è che non mi piaccia vedere Dean spaccare cu**, ehm... ma lo hanno spinto troppo in là...
Unica cosa che approvo in tutto questo: Crowley.
Che se avesse fatto fuori Sam sarebbe stato un bel colpone di scena, ma non si può avere tutto... però Crowley badass è un bel vedere :D
Detto questo ti quoto, a meno che non se ne escano con qualcosa di esplosivo mercoledì prossimo, ciao. Basta.

Appunto! La scena parallela alla cripta della 8x17, con Castiel che viene quasi ucciso e che implora Dean di tornare in sè, ce l'aspettavamo tutti da due anni, ma non mi piace proprio come l'hanno fatta. Troppo fredda e distaccata, e non hanno evidenziato affatto come Castiel si sarebbe lasciato morire, piuttosto che alzare un dito su Dean. Deludente. Soprattutto considerando che l'originale era stata devastante e straziante, e romantica da morire, e questa invece mi ha lasciato freddissima.

A dirla tutta io stavo facendo il tifo per Crowley che uccidesse Sam, poveri noi. Bellissimo l'effetto speciale col fumo rosso che sanguina fuori dagli occhi di Crowley!

Deludentissimo come hanno usato la storyline dei Frankenstein: siamo super potenti da secoli, immortali e tutto, ma veniamo uccisi fuori scena in cinque minuti. Che spreco.

Ora punto tutto su Brother's Keeper: se mi fanno il colpo di scena con Charlie che si resuscita da sola, da super badass qual è, do loro un'altra chance con il prossimo anno. Ma se continuiamo su questa falsariga, nah, capitolo chiuso.
