Canasta, cauliflower and crafting

vanillafluffyCanasta was slightly less lively this week, owing to the presence of a newbie---L, who's husband works with T. That meant the rest of us had to be more circumspect than usual---no bad language or references to the hostess's colorful past. Got to see sbjbfor the first time in ages, as well as one of our peripheral canasta pals, S's old friend K. SBJB is the only person I know of in RL who knows *anything* about my life on LJ---which is probably just as well.
I ended up spending the night at Schnauzerland...between having a couple drinks and not having gotten enough sleep Sunday morning, I figured it was the most sensible option. Was up and out before S got conscious and stopped by the wholesale club on the way home (Cheaper gas there than the place in Melbourne I've gotten into the habit of stopping at -- $2.20g) and wandered around there for a while grabbing things like a twelve-pack of canned tuna, a couple bags of frozen tortellini, the latest Janet Evanovich in hardcover, chocolate cookies and some oatmeal bars.
As I was exiting, I ran into one of my ex-coworkers...not one of my favorite people there; I had my private suspicions that she may have been at least partially behind the campaign that got me fired---but knowing that I have a better job now goes a long way to mitigating my ire. (It also helped that I was looking pretty good---basic black tee and pants under my dragon kimono-shirt with the "matching" hat. It's not like I was schlepping around in something ragged...not that I have that much ragged stuff in my wardrobe these days. Still, I need to thin it out some more---if I don't look fabulous in it, it's gotta go!)
Came home, had brunch, was all geared up to see JDM on Rachel Ray, except apparently I got my wires crossed on the details somewhere along the line, because the only thing I found was her rhapsodizing about pasta with cauliflower sauce like it was an orgasmic experience, and I'm sorry, but cauliflower---?! Not in the same universe as JDM, that's for sure! Obviously, I'm going to have to cruise YouTube for The Right Stuff.
Finally got to see last week's SPN. *eyeroll* I'm not totally surprised by The Big Secret after the fics I've been reading, but uh, let's just say I'll believe it when I see it---maybe.
Meanwhile, I've been beading a caddy to stash my MP3 player in---I don't feel secure with it hanging from the jack the way it does---using a new medium---screen mesh. It's basic black, a tidy grid that's easily stitched with a quilting needle and black thread. That size needle is also a workable size for most of the beads I have. I foresee multiple holders...hmm, maybe I should get iPod dimensions and try my hand at a few of those for gifts/resale.
Needed a nap, cuz between Sunday morning and Sunday night, I think I got a *total* of seven hours, and I was nodding off in my chair at the keyboard.
Have gotten some Nancy 'verse notes transcribed, but very little new material. My bad....

You can DL all the clips.

Nah, me neither. Plus, did they really tell us anything? No. Hell, Gordon gave us more info by telling us these kids were supposed to be 'soldiers', than anything Dean told Sam.
Here be spoilers
Date: 2007-01-16 03:35 pm (UTC)What made my ears perk up was the rat-at-the-Roadhouse angle, the fact that Jo has taken off to hunt, and Ellen's comment that there are plenty of hunters who might be able to figure out what's going on.
Jo selling them out---maybe, if she still thinks John is responsible for her dad's death, she might want to hurt them that much. (And I noticed Ellen skittered away from telling Sam/us that story....) The she's-gone-hunting aspect could mean the anti-Jo sentiment on the part of a lot of fangirls has registered with the Powers That Be and it was a plausible way to get rid of her---or they're setting up a storyline where she's going to be used against them; it would be a bit repetitive for her to be possessed like Meg, but as Trojan horses go, it might work.
The number of hunters surprised me a bit; geez, if all these hunters are hanging around the Roadhouse, who's out there actually, you know, hunting? And if there are that many of them, it strains credulity to think that the boys haven't bumped into any of them before this. However, it introduces the probability that we'll start to see more of them, good, bad and mediocre.
And some flashbacks of other hunters and John is always a possibility!Re: Here be spoilers
Date: 2007-01-16 09:29 pm (UTC)Oh darn...
Jo selling them out
Hm. I hadn't thought of that at all, but it's an intriguing possibility. Still, I still seem to recall Kripke saying Jo would be like a sister to the boys, so that wouldn't jive with her going after them...but who knows?
or they're setting up a storyline where she's going to be used against them; it would be a bit repetitive for her to be possessed like Meg, but as Trojan horses go, it might work.
Yeah, I just thought that, too. Let's hope if TPTB are paying that much attention to us, they'll also register the fact a lot of us want JDM back...

*lol* Maybe they work in shifts. ;)

Yummers. John, and 'in action'. No complaints here!
Re: Here be spoilers
Date: 2007-01-17 06:02 am (UTC)Well then, all that Wincest seems to have rubbed off on Dean, cuz he's made some darned unbrotherly noises---if he wasn't intimidated by her mom. On the other hand, Ellen's got a definite maternal vibe---I *love* Ellen!---so I'm glad they figured a way to keep her involved while shooing Jo offstage.
Let's hope if TPTB are paying that much attention to us, they'll also register the fact a lot of us want JDM back.
Amen. It seems to me I read somewhere that he was already contracted for more eps, but that may have been crack and/or wishful thinking on my part.
Yummers. John, 'in action'.
*licks lips* Yeah, give Jared and Jensen a week off and do a major flashback ep, preferably being told by someone who can shed more light on how John found out about the other children. Something! Anything! Throw us a bone, Kripke!
Re: Here be spoilers
Date: 2007-01-17 06:10 pm (UTC)Oh, I know! But wouldn't it be a kick in the teeth if we did find out that was the case? And it would explain why Ellen would try to keep Jo from hanging out with the boys. ;)
It seems to me I read somewhere that he was already contracted for more eps, but that may have been crack and/or wishful thinking on my part.
I remember hearing at the start of S2 that he's supposedly agreed to do 4 eps. total this season, but....who knows if that was/is true. Or hasn't changed since then. Then again, I think he said on Rachel Ray that he's finished shooting his two movies, so who knows...

Oooh, me likey. Me likey a lot. An all!Daddy ep. would rock my
Great minds thinking alike
Date: 2007-01-17 06:36 pm (UTC)The thought had crossed my mind! (And reading some hot John-Ellen did nothing to abate it.)
An all!Daddy ep. would rock my
pantiessocks right off...I think you were right the first time. (Me too!)
Re: Great minds thinking alike
Date: 2007-01-17 08:32 pm (UTC)*snort* I'll bet...
I think you were right the first time. (Me too!)
*lol* It would probably frighten my fiance to observe that occurring, however. ;)
