I know we don't get a new episode tonight (or even an old one, apparently) but it's Thursday and I'm wearing plaid and the last song I heard on the radio on my way to work was "Heat of the Moment" and then when I got here my email had a fresh crop of things Pinterest thinks I'd be interested in and oh, Pinterest, you know me SO WELL because they were all WINCHESTERS, and friends, I AM IN A MOOD. How much time will I spend actually working today, and how much will I spend reading fanfic? WHO KNOWS. BUT IT'S NOT GONNA BE GOOD.

(Or, depending on how you look at it, it could be very good indeed.)

If you're like me, you saw Wal-Mart's recent "famous cars" commercial, where cars from TV and movies use the Wal-Mart grocery pick-up service, and said "that's cute, but A VERY IMPORTANT CAR IS MISSING."

So, if you're like me, you saw an article on Yahoo this morning about that ad and said WAIT.



I can’t believe she didn’t make it into the final ad!

The universe has been trying to tell me something. Friday I caught an episode of The X-Files called "Bad Blood," which naturally pinged my SPN radar because it was produced by Kim Manners, it involved vampires, it included Mitch Pileggi, and some of it was set in a cemetery that has to be the one used for Stull Cemetery.




Also, it's a fantastic episode, and Luke Wilson is a hoot, and you should watch it if you get the chance. You don't have to be an X-Files watcher to appreciate it.

Later that day I was scrolling through the TV listings and something else came up - I don't remember if it was a movie, or an episode of a different TV show, but it was also called "Bad Blood." And Saturday morning I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts (My Favorite Murder) and they talked about a book called Bad Blood. And I said okay, universe, I get it. You want me to rewatch the SPN episode "Bad Blood."

Except... That episode doesn't exist. I was sure it did. In my head, "Bad Blood" was the episode where Sam kills Gordon Walker. But no, that one's called "Fresh Blood." So I kept looking. We've got "Dead Man's Blood" and "Bloody Mary" and "First Blood" and "Bloodlust" and various other blood-related titles but no Bad Blood, and (1) why did I think we had one, and (b) how do we not have one? How have they missed such an obvious title?

So now I have to figure out what the universe is trying to tell me. Maybe I have undiagnosed syphilis. Maybe I'm just supposed to listen to Neil Sedaka.


Is this song stuck in your head now? Welcome to my nightmare.

And now, since I'm having poll withdrawal...

[Poll #2083541]

I'm supposed to be posting a pic-heavy review of last night's Supernatural episode today, but since that's STILL NOT HAPPENING (stupid hiatus) I think I'll follow the lead of some of my flisties and try to make a weekly post anyway.

What's going on?

Well, that was exciting! I'm sure next week's post will be infinitely better, and with fewer things to say "dammit" about. And if not, at least there will be pretty pics. :-D

(Oh God, I hope I didn't just jinx myself.)
