RL musing and squee and fannish rambling.

castalieI went to my grandfather's house yesterday afternoon with my sister. I haven't been there since the 15th and it did feel... so very odd. We did some gardening and we also made ourselves better by putting some things back to where they're supposed to be. Like, we put the house as it was before his illness - actually, some things are now as they were before my grandmother's illness and wow, it felt so good. It was very... cleansing, I think - or healing? We also found a box full of pictures - half of them we've never seen. There were letters inside as well - one of them from 1927 - and talk about a treasure! Some of those pics go back to 1938, 1940, 1941 and it felt so weird because we were looking at them and thinking, god, those pics were taken during the war. It was really moving. So anyway, I didn't feel as down as I thought I would coming back to the house. Though I think it'll take some time to get used to closing everything each time we leave.
Then we went to the mall and I bought my tickets for LONDON! Yes! So er, I think I only mentioned it once in my journal or something but back in July the wonderful![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yami_tai invited me to London! For a looong weekend! I kept mostly silent about it because I wasn't sure I would be able to go due to my grandfather's situation but now, well, now things changed so, ironically, I could really start getting excited about it. As a result I bought the tickets. So it's official, if everything goes according to plan, I should be in London from 25 Nov to 28 Nov *beams* It'll be my first time in England. I can't wait! Now I just have to hope that nothing will come between me and my weekend there *fingers crossed* I know I've thanked you over and over again Tai, but THANK YOU again *loves*
Now onto the fannish - I finally watched "Skin" [Supernatural 1x06] last night.
I have to say I wasn't really freaked out by this episode. Now, after "Bloody Mary" it's not that surprising. Thing is, I thought the plot was sometimes, I don't know, all over the place? There were moments when I was like "Okay, how did he arrive here?" But it's okay because shapeshifter!Dean totally made up for everything.
As soon as he mentioned Dean's issues with Sam, I knew I was in for a treat. And I was, I so was! Also, the speech he made? I totally knew it was coming. I'm happy they're addressing the tension and conflicts that might exist between the brothers. Also, I don't remember whether it was implied that Shapeshifter guy had lied to torment Sam but if it was, I don't believe it for a second. So anyway, I loved that scene - it's the kind of scene I've been dreaming of since the beginning - the resentment, the angst, the pain... Dean angsts well - cause even though it wasn't really him, it was still his thoughts - it works for me. Also, I love how Dean seems to be the one who's really suffering from their dad's disappearance. I mean, sure, Dean was the one who stayed with their dad so it stands to reason that it would affect him more but still...
Also my loving Dean like I do keeps on surprising me a bit. Technically, neither Dean nor Sam are the kind of character I'm drawn to. They're too much the Tough Guys, too much the Alpha Males for me and I'm just not attracted to that kind of character - yet I love Dean and think Sam is cool. But if I love Dean, it's thanks to the chinks in his armour. Otherwise, I would lose interest, I think. Cocky Tough Heroes bore me, I need more. So it's nice that Dean has Issues all around because it keeps the love strong - which is why I loved the first scene between shapeshifter!Dean and Sam so much.
Back to "Skin" now, so wait! Dean Winchester is now officially dead? It was 2.00 am when I watched the episode and I realise I might have lost my concentration near the end so I'm not even sure I remember what they said. He was officially blamed for the murder? And it doesn't worry the brothers more than that? And if Dean is officially dead and all, I wonder what daddy!Winchester is going to think if he hears about it. I mean, assuming he's following what his boys are doing, I wonder how he'd take the news that his son is dead. Dude, I really need to watch that bit again *blink*
Not my favourite episode but still has one of my favourite scenes so far - so all in all, not bad at all :-)

Date: 2005-10-28 12:57 pm (UTC)To be fair, I always look forward to November because by November, Christmas is already in the air and it the weather is crispy and it sometimes smells of snow already and - yeah, love winter, woohoo!
Tai already planned some things but I need to start seriously thinking of whatI want to do and visit - I didn't feel like doing so before since I seriously thought I wouldn't go at one point...
