I am Mr. Productivity today. Did my work, finally picked up the dry cleaning, went to Costco (chicken tikka masala; chicken, garlic, spinach and fontina sausages; chicken, red pepper and spinach sausages; boursin; pre-cooked chicken breast strips; apple raspberry juice; gluten-free deli-sliced fried chicken; gluten-free turkey basil meatballs), went to the regular supermarket for mangoes Patty needs for a recipe; and have otherwise felt like a functional, contributing member of society. You don't care, but I care.
I don't watch SPN. No time. Also, to be frank, what I know about the fandom makes me seriously uncomfortable. But I've heard about a bazillion spoilers for tonight, and guys, I ache for you, seriously. I loved CoE, but I hate to watch another fandom go through this sort of thing, especially when it involves a lot of people who don't necessarily want another CoE-like experience. But hey, I have no horse in this race, so if you want to flail in comments, go right ahead. Obviously, there may be spoilers there.
Meanwhile, I think I'm going to nap until Patty gets home. Then we'll make dinner and watch Buffy and Angel while the world explodes for the SPN folk.
I have managed to avoid pretty much all spoilers, and I haven't yet seen last week's episode of SPN (hoping to watch these last two back-to-back) but it's hard not to imagine something fairly major and soul-ripping (uh, figuratively, though I suppose possibly literally for the characters given this show...) It's not like we haven't lost a lot of major characters already. And while I loved CoE on a lot of levels, yeah, I don't know that I'm up to something like that again right now.
I didn't start watching SPN until last summer, and on my way through it thought, man, I'm really glad I didn't have to go through the summer after season 3 in real time. It's a different experience for me, being involved in a live fandom, and I'm a lot more painfully (and beautifully, but right now, ow) invested in these characters than I was in Buffy, or in Torchwood much though I liked it. It's one of the reasons I enjoy reading your commentary on grief and mourning of fictional characters.
