Best Buy is selling Supernatural Seasons 1-3 for only $14.99!

....and since I was the one who got my sister and her entire family hooked on the world's greatest show I felt it was my responsibility to further seal it by getting it on DVD for them. Yes, I am an enabler. Damn proud of it, too.



There's something oddly satisfying when your five year old neice starts a converstion with "Mom says Dean's her boyfriend and not yours!!" and then giggles from the belly. I ask who she wants as a boyfriend and am reminded that boys and kissing are gross.

And that makes me giggle from the belly.

One of the world's best giggler's - 5 yr old Liddy Liddy P Diddy:

Mixed Blood Theater in Minneapolis is putting on a play I sooooo need to see...

A Klingon Christmas Carol.

Yes. You read correctly.


"Scrooge has no honor, nor any courage. Can three ghosts help him to become the true warrior he ought to be in time to save Tiny Tim from a horrible fate? Performed in the Original Klingon with English Supertitles, and narrative analysis from The Vulcan Institute of Cultural Anthropology.

The classic Dickensian tale of ghosts and redemption adapted to reflect the Warrior Code of Honor and then translated into tlhIngan Hol (That’s the Klingon Language).

A co-production of Commedia Beauregard and the IKV RakeHell of the Klingon Assault Group."

Nerd Squeeeeee!!!


I was thinking it would be hard to find a date that would actually go with me, but then I thought this would be a great place to FIND a date! Yes? Maybe?

*puts L shaped fingers on my non-Klingon-turtle-forehead* I love Nerds. I AM a nerd.

Bastards.

Yes I am! I turned the F-word last Sunday and my friends threw me a surprise Supernatural/Zombie themed party!! I know, we are soooo weird and I couldn't love them more for it. The only thing I was told was that I was to be picked up at a certain time. Jen and Debbie came to my door dressed as Mother Earth Zombie Rockabilly Zombie and then proceded to turn me into Rockstar Zombie!

Driving in Uptown Minneapolis on a mid-November Sunday with Zombie makeup is a great way to get people to notice you. True. I think we may have scared some children and church goers along the way.



They made everyone a Sam/Dean face fan:



Which Basement-Cat Cooper approves of!



Gill and I bonded on our obsession of Dean and Elizabeth was smitten with Sammy




After the stuffing our faces I washed my makeup off and a couple of us went out to a neighborhood cafe. Deb-Brawl-A (aka Mother Earth Zombie) was committed and kept her zombie face on througout the evening.... that is love people!! The WTF looks on peoples faces as they walked by us made me wish we had set up Candid Camera.

I seriously love my friends. I laughed so hard that day my tummy was sore. It was the Best. Birthday. Ever. SMOOCHES to all of you.

Yet one more reason to love him - Puppy loves puppies!

I'm a big fan of raloria but after her posting of this UGH!screencap:




I am now serving her with a CEASE AND DESIST letter:

REF: Just ‘Cause Postings

Dear Raloria:

You are hereby notified under provisions of Should-Be-Fandom-Laws 13 and 666, also known as the Stop These Shenanigans!, that your services are clearly wreaking havoc.

You and your LiveJournal postings must CEASE & DESIST all attempts to bring civilization to a full stop by posting beautiful caps of J2/Sam & Dean from THE SHOW. Failure to comply with these Should-Be-Laws will result in my immediately filing a complaint with the Fangirls of the Fandom and the Attorney General's office and probably J2 themselves (that way I can meet them). I will pursue all criminal and civil and magical claims against you and yours.

Let this letter also serve as your warning that I may utilize any recording, linking and copying devices in order to document any shenanigans and debauchery that we may have in the future. (Oh god that’s my favorite word ever – debauchery, as in Dean looked utterly debauched, naked... crap! I’m getting off track…)

Ah-hem.

Furthermore, if any more eye porn is posted in your LiveJournal account after receipt of this notice, know that this will cause me to drool, moan, stare blankly at my computer screen until I fully embarrass myself at work or become immobile at my residential dungeon. I will personally and Supernaturally seek any and all remedies available to me by Supernatural Fandom law which may or may not also include lots of chocolate.

Since it is my policy neither to recognize nor deal with reality at times, this will be settled as my cats Mo and Cooper see fit.

Give this matter the attention it deserves!

And have a nice day.


PS - Here are Mo and Cooper. I can sense your knees shaking at the fierceness of their gaze.

I'm looking at my Netflix list and am thinking of checking out Gilmore Girls. I've heard both good and bad about the series and am on the fence. Should I check it out? See what the hub-bub is all about? Cuz to be honest I wouldn't mind watching just so I can watch Jared Padalecki but I don't think he's on for a few seasons.

Yay? Nay? Whatchu say?

The gods/writers of Supernatural are picking on poor Sammy - he didn't even get LAID and got 2 STD's in 2 weeks!

Dead fairies have a lot of glittter. Glitter doesn't really come off live skin too easily though and very-much-alive JL was STILL sparkly today at work.




My Axe-wielding-Botox-injected Cougar BFF looked FAB-U-LOUS too! Even if she super-glued the syringes to her face (oh yes she did!).



I only regret not getting everyone's picture on All Hallow's Eve, like the Big Lebowski dream sequence couple. In the end each guest left a little glittery and smelling like Axe. Ahhhh the sweet memories!!


(Note the incredible toadstool appetizer holder on the bottom left. Effin brilliant thrift store find by the host/hostess!)

When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam,
May luck be yours on Halloween.

Last year at this time I was taking a class on Ghost Photography. (The linked article talks about the class, check it out!)

I still have a love for this genre of photography, fakes, the unexplained and all!



One of the best books on the subject is The Perfect Medium: Photography and the Occult.

Here is the only ghost photograph that was authenticated by Popular Photography:


The movie The Entity was based on this case. See the arcs of light? They aren't bent which means the lights was floating in air, not cast on the walls. This is not a flash flare either. The room was darkened purposefully so that no outside light could be traced.

I wasn't lucky enough to capture my own ghost while taking the class but we did go on a ghosthunt. I really wish I could do it again someday! We went to a house in Minneapolis, close to my place as a matter of fact. I was smiling from ear to ear sitting in the basement with the lights off, asking "Is there anyone who would like to communicate with us tonight?"

Is Jason and Grant hiring by chance?

Seriously.

Last Friday I was a fashion photographer for Fusion + Fashion here in Minneapolis. Interior Designers get a chance to design clothing using anything they want including industry products such as carpet and wallcovering. It's always a blast to see these creative people at play!

Check out the winners here. And check out the outfit made from 1500 plastic zip ties! It was even illuminated!

One of the judges was Christopher Straub from Project Runway. (Shown here with two of the event's organizers).



I haven't been watching the show so I didn't know who he was otherwise I would have had my picture taken with him too. Oh well! I'll link the rest of the pictures once they are posted online.

I've become a big fan of Ash4897's videos. Please check them out!

This one is perfect if you luv Angsty!Dean cuz you can't get any more angstier than Johnny Cash's rendition of "Hurt". The editing is fabulous and tells a good Dean story.



Here's an AWESOME collection of the boys and their various identities...

"That's all someone in the grip of an obsession needs: the single possibility that desire might be real, a tiny shred of evidence to show you're not all alone in the dark."

- Alice Hoffman "The Ice Queen" (My current book club read)

I can't believe they went there. They went THERE!! That last scene? "I got bored" says Dean???? Frickin' HILARIOUS!!!

Um.... I have to admit I thought Paris Hilton was HILARIOUS tonight on THE SHOW! And the kill? Bloody awesome.

Now what the hell do you mean by "Soon" for the previews? How soon is soon? Am I going to be tweaking because there is a Hellatus next week???

Today's StarTribune features an article promoting this Friday's Fasion + Fusion show. For the 4th year in a row, I will be their photographer! (See a couple of last year's photos on the right hand side)

It's such a fun event! Interior Designer and Architects become Project Runway divas (two of the judges were on Project Runway) and make outfits made out of carpet, wallcovering, etc. Last year 7 of the outfits were illuminated!

I'll post a link to the photos after the event. Give me a couple of days because this is the one night that I let myself work hard but also live it up a little!

This week's Entertainment Weekly/Ausiello Files has this First Look for Episode 5!






I for one have to give Paris her due to make fun of herself. And to be able to have both boys tied up? Yes this!

It's also nice to see the show get some news in a magazine.

Go show!

I've been going through my photo portfolio and thought I would share some of my work. I'm meeting with a potential dealer and am freaking out just a little bit about the whole thing. How many pics do you put into a portfolio? How do you arrange them? Where the hell did I put that file? Can I actually pull this together before the meeting??? Holy crap! Wish me luck!

Hope you like.
