nostalgic Temple of the Dog: All Night Thing → mob: artwork, this is spam

It's just amazing how things slip by you, and it seems like the best moments where you might have enjoyed them at their peak are lost without you ever realizing they existed, and then they catch up to you years later when it's just the right timing for it all to come together in the way it was meant for you personally, however late or irrelevant it feels as part of their crowd. 2008 has been that sort of year for me. I owe this particular epiphany to a reality show that I don't even watch, whose winner with a penchant for rock-styled covers led me to a name which led me to a group named after an ugly but very cool piece of acoustic artwork in Seattle.

Be warned: this is quite a long train-of-thought type of post, because I had all of this brewing for a few months now, and I'm finally putting it all down in complete form. Brief ramblings on a fan board just can't cover it all, although it was nice to realize I wasn't the only one batshit crazy about Soundgarden and that old fans had remarkable patience when dealing with starry-eyed newbies going "OMG!" at every single note.

I missed some big ruckus in the fandom, apparently brought on by hate, equality, and meta on meta on such. Nobody has demanded anything of me or brought the "fight" to my doorstep. It came up in an off-LJ conversation. So I feel somewhat like a lost gosling wandering into a gaggle of geese, but as it's a subject I feel strongly about and have encountered more than once in message boards here and there, as well as on the heels of some of my own meta, I thought "What the hell? It's only 2 cents."

Dear Sam and Dean,

(Do you prefer "Samndean"? "Deannsam"?)

Had a few things on my mind, so in the interest of being honest with you as a fairly critical fan, let me offer you both a little friendly yet firm advice. Please don't take this as hate mail, because it's not meant in that spirit. It's all tongue-in-cheek, except when it's not. I think you'll be able to tell, but in case there are any worries on that level, please be sure to put aside all firearms during the duration of this letter. Oooookay? Thanks! :)

Here we go. Please take it with a full block of salt.

( Dear flist, I'd adore you if you answered this post in the spirit of things, letter-format to the boys. Dotfic did that via email, and I'm now completely spoiled for anything else. )

bitchy → it's a core meltdown, supernatural, thinky thoughts

So. Back from hospital duty, at long last! (Dad's doing fine.)

I hear that 99% of fandom loved this episode to pieces. This isn't the first time I've been at odds with the prevailing opinion, so I'm just going to post how I feel about the thing. I had it written Friday, but I wanted to re-watch the episode before I posted it, and I didn't get a chance to until now. So, once again it's belated and bitchy. (In fact, I should probably just change the subtitle of my journal to something along those lines.)

You're probably not going to like me for this. And I'm not trying to offend anyone, but this is my honest opinion on something I care about deeply, and I'm too upset to bite my tongue. Take it or leave it, but please don't take it personally.

( Reason is also choice. )

I haven't had a chance to read my flist in about a week. Maybe I'll find some meta to help me appreciate this one. No meta or fic yet has changed my mind about Home, but I'm always willing to give a show or a character I love a second chance. We'll see what happens.


And now, back to your regularly scheduled blogging...

Warning: Ranty use of CAPSLOCK. It's almost all confined to one particular portion of the post, however. A very brief portion.

What did I love about Crossroad Blues?

Quite a few things, as it turns out. And what I loved, I loved a lot.

( LOVED: )

( HATED: )

And the rest is a jumbled bag of ( LOVE, HATE and MEH )

Aaaand, that's my take on Crossroad Blues.

Happy (belated) Birthday, green_queen! Here is my feeble attempt at a gift.
(What is it with me and belated birthday presents? I'm the worst friend ever!)

Sorry if this is sacrilegious. Or just... silly. :P

(And darn. I wanted it in color, but that wouldn't fit LJ's size limit.)



p.s. If anybody wants it, I don't think green_queen would mind sharing. (Would you?)
