I was a slug this weekend.

dragojustineI got NOTHING done this weekend. Less than nothing. I've never accomplished so little on a weekend. I am so behind on EVERYTHING. Why am I a slug who accomplishes nothing?
I babbled indodger_winslow 's journal, before I saw the post asking people not to talk about John's parenting anymore, so I feel a bit lousy for that. But I do still find myself fascinated and invested in fandom discussions of John's parenting, even if I do tie myself up in knots with the complexity of his character.
I watched The Lives Of Others, that big foreign-language winner last year, about the Stasi agent in early-eighties Eastern Germany. I watched it mostly because of Abigail Nussbaum's spoilery review here (She is my favorite reviewer online). I really have nothing I can possibly add- it's an incredible, amazing, sparse, painful, beautiful movie.
So, you know that drop-out speech Mitt Romney gave? You know how it was horrifically insulting, basically straight-up saying that voting Democrat was handing the country to terrorists? And then blabbling about how it's the evil sluts and homos that are going to ruin this country? And how watching that speech pretty much made you want to put your fist through his face? Well, Jon Stewart has fun with that speech here. Thank God there's a way to laugh at stuff like this, or I would be crying.

Random note from SPN 3x10:
Seriously, there's this one moment when we get a full-body shot of both boys walking out of Bobby's hotel room, and Jared's legs (and very fine legs they are) are totally straight, and Jensen's knees are like, eighteen inches apart. It makes me squee.
You know, back when people were talking about 3:10 to Yuma being maybe the Ressurection of the Western, I thought I would give a ridiculous amount of money to see Jensen and Jared in a Western. Yes, this is connected to the bowleggedness, really. Doesn't he always look like just just swung off a horse? And we all know Jared is a sexass in a cowboy hat:
I think it would be awesome.
Aaaaaaand.... Now I have RPS AU plotbunnies. So Jared is a ranchowner, right? And Jensen is the pretty boy-toy of the rough, dangerous outlaw Jeff. And then Jared bands up with other ranchers to try to defend themselves from Jeff's predations. And there's a meeting and Jared comes to try to negotiate, and he meets Jensen, and there is UST and the negotiations go nowhere. And there's a battle, of course, and it ends with Jared capturing Jensen, and Jensen's pretty terrified but Jared is nothing like he expects...
Gah. And this after I accomplished nothing, not even my laundry, and wrote nothing, all weekend? I hate my brain.

re: westerns- I would read that AU. And Jensen's bow legs are quite hot.
I didn't get any writing done this weekend either. Or laundry. Or anything else for that matter. :(
