Uh... I have nothing

tea_and_inkFirst of all, cappuccino should be worshiped because having one on a over-cloudy monday morning is a nearly religious experience. And I will never get tired of stating my undying love for coffee.
Now that that's out of the way...
I was checking yesterday for ring tones available for my cell phone, and came across "Stairway to Heaven", I have no reason to be this happy about it. Of course I bought it because, "Stairway to Heaven", y'all.
What have you been up to, flist?

This one is to pass to history as the episode that gave me mixed feelings, but then again spn revels on ambiguity.
I didn't hate it, though that's barely anything considering that I didn't hate "Route 666" either, so I'll shrug on this one. But I can't quite bring myself to love it either, and the fact that I'd have to bring myself to love it sure says something about it.
It was funny, but not hilarious, "Tall Tales" still carries the torch on that one. Actually, I wish this ep hadn't aired so soon after Tall Tales, it was a bit of too much contrast with the heavy angst we've been doused with lately (not that we didn't need the break, because we did, but still); all the in-jokes bored me (and scared me because I actually got most of them), they were too many, of course it was expected since subtlety is a foreign concept for spn writers.
It's still irking me that the guy didn't know that destroying the amulet would not get rid of the ghost-zombies, on the contrary it would set them free, I mean with all the research he did for the script and stuff, one would expect him to be aware of the dangers of not properly reversing the spell. Also, it was kind of stupid from him to use actual summon incantations in the script, and it cannot be argued that he didn't expect them to work. Or maybe I missed something and the incantations weren't in the original script, but that he added them in the later one for vengeance purposes only.
Point remains that I don't buy that, for all of his research, he never came across a red flag that said "Do Not, Under Any Circumstance, Destroy The Amulet" even if Sam was closing in on him, and I can totally imagine that a walking Redwood coming your way and issuing threats would mess with your head and thus send your concentration to hell.
But all that on the side? I did enjoy the ep. Sam's "what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-Dean" faces almost beat his bitchfaces. Almost. Dean fanboying over bad horror movies? Priceless. "I think they're like slaves" is definitely the best line ever. And the crotch-shot? it wasn't entirely gratuitous, PA belt, folks! "Copy that" right in Sam's face... yeah, priceless.
Sam's face during with the Stars Hollow comment cracked me up. Clearly his boy-crush on Rory is something he'd want to keep a way from Dean's knowledge at all costs!
To sum it all up: Sammy is one scary Sequoia; Kripke gets off on his own genius; fake actors don't understand why would a ghost be scared of salt, but totally get it when a camera captures them; Dean can get laid in any circumstance, especially when in geek-mode (I've always said it, there is something inherently hot about a geek boy, although I'm not sure it applies in this case, since well, Dean Winchester, but whatever)

On a personal note, last saturday night we went to this, uh... pub? where an Amateur Festival was being hosted. Dudes, amateur my ass!
This one guy made Josh Groban covers and Holly Crap remains the most coherent thought I can formulate in regards to the kid's voice, and I do mean Holly. Then I nearly spat my respiratory system out in its entirety cheering for this other girl who sang three Janis Joplins. Hot Damn! That chick? FTW.
