I pulled a tragic, toe-scufflingly remorseful resignation at work this week. NAMELY BECAUSE I'M LEAVING IN 15 DAYS, 11 HOURS, YESSSSSSSSSSS. But on one level, I guess I could say it's kind of sad: I'm kind of getting used to spending 15 hours/week scanning archival documents from Halifax's House of Assembly in the 1810s, and listening to much of the following:

a) This American Life, aka Ira Glass' adorable lisp (sometimes he doles out relationship advice!);

b) CBC Radio 3, podcasts or just plain radio or sometimes just a random fishing of New Music Canada's billions of sexy Cdn artist pages;

c) podfic (even though I have to skip through the sex because dudes! I AM AT WORK!);

d) the New Yorker's terribly fucking hip Fiction Podcast that makes me want to simultaneously forget about writing real fiction ever and also delete my lj entirely because I am just that ambivalent;

e) my own excellent taste in music, which you should all definitely friend on last.fm so that I can be further shamed out of listening to Placebo ever again;

and;

f) the occasional mortgage advice podcast, because I am obviously living in a fantasy world where crippling student debt doesn't exist and me and my future pound dog will live in idyllic bliss in my fantasy 2-bed, 2-bath, fenced-yard character home within walking distance of the LRT, the Central Library and probably the homeless shelter, too, by virtue of geographic reality.

However, I have two weeks of full-time work left to fill with distractatory talkin and/or tunez, so if anyone has any recs for favourite radio stations, podcasts, music sources, AND YES, THE BEST PODFIC, do tell.

you can't make angel jokes to me. it's like making napalm jokes to a 'nam vet.

Basically: fuck SPN S4. I saw seasons 1-3 for sale super cheap at the massive video place yesterday and SCOFFED. I SCOFFED, BROOKE. Although I just bookmarked a finishing fic workshop over at spnroundtable. Especially the part that says how to finish fic where you now loathe the fandom. :/

Is it living above our means to get the fancy camping spot? What if Shia's set up next door? Would we just wave cheerily every morning and offer them some coffee, or try to hone in on his alone time with Zach? Is "premiere" just code for "groupies and parents"? IT'S SO HARD TO TELL. But I would like cleaner bathrooms, fucking princess that I am.

Dude, I hate to be the one to bug you about this, but you HAVE to finish the ballerina fic. It's just too fucking brilliant to be extinguished. Also, the Jo fic. Actually, I am holding you to everything you have listed as a WIP. It's your own fault for being so damn good.

Eugh, Thomas and Mark were catching up on SPN last night and I couldn't even be in the same room. There was an angel/demon fistfight. Oh yes, certainly, that's how they would engage in conflict. So terrible. Then Dean gave a little speech about his vacay in Hell and I was SHOCKED at how bad Ackles was. We all know the kid can act, I think he's just given up. Also, Sam is doing Ruby. Why don't I just toss myself in the path of a combine, lord.

Lastly, I will ask Kim, re: lame-o, expensive camping. I too enjoy a flushing toilet: the spray is invigorating. Obvs, we'll be surrounded by serious artist types who will declare us muses (musi?) and insist we accompany them to meet the talent backstage. Then I'll hold the Condon while you rip his pants off. It won't be consensual, but it'll sure be sensual!

GUESS WHAT I AM WORKING ON RIGHT NOW. AS WE TYPE. I JUST TYPED THE WORD "LAUNDRETTE" IN FACT. MY HIGHBROW SNOTTY HORSE-THEMED HET BRINGS ALL THE BOYS TO THE YARD. >:|

Fuck, that episode was by far the worst yet, to be fair. But it was frigging tazer-me-now-to-stop-the-pain awful. I agree with you on ALL POINTS. Fistfight: ridic. Ackles: shitty. Sam doing Ruby: unicorns are crying dewdrop tears. I MISS KATIE CASSIDY AT THIS POINT. It's like making her passive gave Sera Gamble permission to get some penetratin' done. >>>>>:|

re: It won't be consensual, but it'll sure be sensual!: this is why you make national billboard campaigns and I toil in obscurity. ilu so hard, bb.

Haha, I wish I could take credit for that line, but I am fairly sure it was overheard and immediately appropriated by my gray matter. You know there isn't a single original thing that comes out of the Brooke maw. Nor the Brooke paws. Which could also be the reason I cobble national billboard campaigns. :/

YOU ARE WRITING HORSEWOMAN JO? This is excellent news, son! I am off for a refresher reread! Jo, kicking ass and being broody, I love it.
