Bodies Exhibition

I'm planning on going to the Bodies Exhibition down at the South Street Seaport by the end of the year. Busy weekends are busy, but I'm tentatively planning for Friday, November 30th. The latest time available on Friday nights is 9pm, but I think we'd all be able to make it there between 6 and 7pm if we want to get there early and maybe do dinner after. Anyone who's interested is more than welcome to join!

Tickets are $27.50, but I have a coupon for $6 off the ticket price -- for possibly up to either 10 or 20 people (I have to check). I'm also willing to pay for the group on one bill and split the discount evenly amongst everyone. Though I guess it depends on how many people are going.

Coupon expires at the end of the year, so if it isn't Nov 30th, then it'll be sometime soon after. Suggestions welcome.

I randomly decided to start catching up on Supernatural again. SPOILERS AHEAD.

Last I'd left off was episode 16 of season 2 ("Road Kill"). Next episode was "Heart", which I saw on Monday night, and hated. Vehemently. It was completely random. There was no action, no story really; it was basically a we-need-Sam-to-get-laid-and-give-him-more-angst episode. Which, really, I did *not* need at all. I was bored all the way through, and at the end when Sam had to make a decision on whether to kill her or let Dean kill her, I was thoroughly disgusted. It's no secret that I hate Sam and love Dean, so it is with a small amount of bias that I say this. I'm not in denial -- even though both of them are main characters, the main plotline is more about Sam than it is about Dean. Sam is the pivotal chess piece. I can deal with that. But when they take away Dean's bit of rightful angst and give it to Sam in a none-too-subtle parallel to Sam and Dean's situation, but with Sam and a girl he DOESN'T EVEN KNOW AND SLEPT WITH ONCE FOR CRIPES SAKE, and not to mention didn't even have as much depth or was as likable as Sarah in season 1, I just can't take it! Now Sam can pull out the "you're going to kill those monsters, but I'm a monster too and you don't kill me" argument AS WELL AS the other side of the coin, "I had to kill someone I cared about too -- you don't know how it feels." GODDAMMIT! I'm sick and tired of Sam's whining and all the writers do is give him more to whine about. I wish I hadn't seen that episode, I really do. I'm SO GLAD I didn't see this episode on TV when it came out. I'd been all caught up to the episode just before it, and "Heart" would have been a horrible episode to be caught up to.

Oh, and can I just say that aside from all that stuff about Sam and Dean in this episode, the worst of it was that it was PREDICTABLE! Horribly and boringly predictable.

Last night I thought I'd better continue watching -- otherwise my disgust with the previous episode would make me wait another 6 months before watching any episodes again. Luckily, this was a funny episode. With lots of Dean being cute and funny. It was nice to actually crack a smile this time around. It was especially funny because the episode was about a horror movie production where Sam and Dean pose as PAs in order to have set access. It was very amusing to imagine that their own PAs may have been making fun of them, or vice versa. And one part where the horror movie actors ended up mimicking a technique that Sam and Dean had just used to kill some ghosts. They showed the "horror film actors" acting without the sound effects and stuff, so it looked and sounded really corny and fake. And if you think about it, that's exactly what Jensen and Jared had just been doing. In real life. I love the irony. <3

Four episodes til the end of season 2. I'm kind of curious as to how things will turn out.
