(no subject)

Well, the snow kept me home today. I got out on the road and realized that my car really didn't want to drive down the snowy streets to church. Maybe it's a lame excuse but even though my car was made in Michigan (right here in my hometown, actually, before they closed the plant) and should be able to drive in these conditions the brakes have never worked well on uncleared roads. So I'll babble at you all instead.

The Da turned 60 last Thursday. I had to remind my brothers of that fact though I don't see why, it's not like the math is that hard to do. Anyway, the boys and I took him out to dinner on Friday and then went back to the parents' house to enjoy some King Cake that the boys brought back from New Orleans. It was a nice, quiet affair.

The end of last week was crazy for various reasons and I spent a lot of time in Ann Arbor but I did manage to see Supernatural on Thursday night. I think I'm finally ready to sit down and expound on a few of the thoughs I had with regard to the episode. I've seen a lot of meta flying around about 'Houses of the Holy' and I haven't read most of it simply because I wanted to solidify my own ideas at first. Hence, I'm sure you'll have seen a lot of these ideas in other places, given how fandom really is one big hivemind but I wanted to get them down, irregarless.

( Manifestations of Faith in a Supernatural Universe )

Man, I always love a good discussion of faith and 'Houses of the Holy' provided more then ample inspiration.

Last, but certainly not least, I re-organized my recs page and added a few new ones to it yesterday. I love how many great stories our show inspires.
