Supernatural 7x5 Shut Up, Dr. Phil

Screencap courtesy of Home of the Nutty.  They're the best for Supernatural screencaps - check them out!

Open on a dizty girl in a hair salon.  I have a feeling this hair dryer is going to be her doom...And it was. Fabulous hairdresser screams loudly.

Cut to Dean sleeping.  Strange dreams about Cas dying, Sam flipping out, and killing Amy.  Boy's got issues.

I can't wait to see James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter!

Sam comes in from biking.  Dean mocks him for working out.  Apparently there's some odd happenings in Prosperity, Indiana.  In addition to hair dryer girl, some guy boiled in a hot tub.

Sam knows something is off about Dean; he wants to talk.  Predictably, Dean doesn't.  Just how early is it, and Dean's drinking?

Creepy leviathan dude from before is on the phone with his boss.  And there's a dead guy in his trunk...yikes.

The boys go to investigate Prosperity.  Sam talks to hair dryer girl's sister, asks the standard questions.  Sister gives standard answers, "Everyone loved her, no enemies, she was great." Well obviously not!

(I'm missing some of the dialogue because my twin 6-month-old cousins are crying, and a faulty garage door won't close...)

Dean checks out the hair salon.  Fabulous hairdresser insists what happened should've been impossible.  Dean finds a strange coin behind the dryer.  Perhaps a hex talisman, Sam suggests.  Dean pops into a liquor store.  How is his liver still functioning?

Switch to a construction site.  I feel like someone else is about to be very unlucky...oh, it's the guy going into the port-a-potty.  Not a nail gun!  Oh yeah, a nail gun...and he's dead.  So very, very, dead...

Dean investigates the construction site.  Sounds like the vic was well-liked.  Nails in the eyes?  Ew!  No generator = no power for nail gun = WITCH!  Dean finds another coin, like the one from the hair salon.  Sam finds a connection between the victims: they were all working on a shopping center project.

A flask, really Dean?  He's such an alcoholic...Anyway, Sam notices the plants around the bust of the head of the project are all dead.  Dean says he saw the same thing around a bench with hair dryer girl's picture on it.  Sidenote: Did Sam really just say "pics"?  Shaking my head...

Now we meet Mr. Don Stark, who is James Marsters!  God he looks good.  Sam just said "java".  Good lord!  When did he turn into a teenage girl?  Although he may have always been one, if you ask Dean.  While Dean questions Don, Sam snoops.  That shoe box full of sigils and other oddities definitely isn't weird.

Don and his wife are separated.  Could be the stresser? (Sorry, Criminal Minds lingo haha)  So Don cheated.  Let me guess, with hair dryer girl.  Called it!

Dean, Nicole Kidman isn't that hot.  Back to the story: plants around the house are all dead.  Dean calls Bobby and asks how to gank a witch.  Haven't they done this before?  The boys head over to Maggie's (the wife) place; she's not home.  So logically they just sneak into a dangerous witch's house...that's our boys, right there.  Dean finds a creepy shrine/hitlist in the closet.  Maggie (Charisma Carpenter!) comes home while Dean's still snooping.  Sam tries to hold her up, no luck.  So instead he sets off her Porsche's alarm - and blames it on RLS? LMFAO!!!  Looks like the assistant's next!  Dude, Maggie's totally gonna notice you were in her house...yup, she noticed.
Cut to Jenny baking cupcakes.  Maggie starts her witch curse chanting.  OH MY GOD THERE'S A HEART IN THAT CUPCAKE!!!  That's fucking nasty!  This wins grossest scene of the season so far!

Understandably, Jenny is rattled.  "There were hearts in my cupcakes!  That's never happened before!"  I'll bet not haha.  Sam tells Jenny to leave town and "cool things off with Don Stark".  Jenny says there wasn't an affair.  Then why did Maggie want her dead?

Cut to Maggie organizing an art auction.  Apparently her best friend/even planner told her about the affair.  Don shows up and asks to speak with Maggie.  He knows she's a witch?!  Now he's blaming Maggie for his cheating.  Apart from her being a homicidal witch, this is a pretty normal marital argument.  So she knows Sam and Dean are hunters too.  As Don walks out of the auction, his bust breaks.  Maggie looks on creepily from a window.  Sam and Dean realize Maggie could take out the whole town.  Bobby calls back with what they need to do.

Now Maggie's practicing her speech for the auction.  Loyal friend Sue is standing by, perhaps a little too closely.  Calling it now: Sue's in love with Maggie, so she tells lies about Don to bust up their marriage.

Dean finally got some pie!  But Sammy ruined it by dropping a bag of chicken feet on the table...gross.

Don pulls up outside the auction.  Inside, Sue finds an eye in her martini, and all the paintings start to melt.  Don's a witch too?!  Oh yeah, Sue's totally in love with Maggie.  And then she gets decapitated by a serving platter.  Ouch.  Maggie has declared war.

"Clean up on aisle 7". Charming Dean...They realize Don's a witch too and take off to find him.  Uh oh, leviathan guy caught up with our boys.  He watches and follows them.  This is so not going to end well...

Sam and Dean wait outside Don's place for Maggie to show up.  Maggie storms in, declaring she and Don are going to have it out.  Sam and Dean try the little chicken feet spell, but it doesn't work.  That would just be too easy.  Don and Maggie start to double-team them, but Dean interrupts.  He tries to play marriage counselor (Dr. Phil?).  Before he gets too far off track, Sam cuts in.  It doesn't go so well.  Maggie puts Sam down, and Don tosses Dean through a glass door.  Oh Sammy, quit while you're behind.  Don and Maggie fight, taking most of it out on Sam and Dean.  Don apologizes.  Seriously boys, shut up, they might just kill you this time.  Not bees!  C'mon!  While the CG bees swarm Dean's face, Don and Maggie rekindle their romance.

The boys head back to their room, and Dean starts drinking.  Then leviathan guy shows up!  Aaaah!  Dean shoots him, like that'll do any good.  I do not enjoy Winchester whumpage!  Dude, Don just killed that leviathan!  He's awesome!  Oh wait, he's not dead.  Don pulls hex coins from under Sam and Dean's beds.  Apparently Maggie was still pissed about them trying to kill her.

Sam and Dean chain up leviathan guy and put him in the back seat.  Not even the trunk?  Guess they're going to lock him up at Bobby's.  Sam wants to have a heart-to-heart, which I fully support.  Dean, of course, doesn't want to.  Sammy know something's off with his big brother; Dean deflects with sarcasm, per usual.  Sam says Dean can unload, but we all know what's weighing on Dean: the fact that he killed Amy.  And of course, Dean doesn't tell him.

Final Thoughts: I really enjoyed seeing James and Charisma; it's been far too long since I watched Angel.  Maybe I'll start doing that again.  The tension between Sam and Dean is definitely growing.  Sam absolutely knows that something's eating at his big brother, but Dean won't tell him what.  We all know that Dean can't hold onto this forever; he's got to tell Sam eventually.  And I bet it's not going to be pretty when he does...

Next Week: Evil Sam and Dean?  Excuse me while I hyperventilate for a while.  This is going to be so much fun!  I can't wait to see Jensen and Jared explore their dark sides!  Oh shit, I've got a Halloween  party next Friday!  I won't be able to watch it live *cries*

Supernatural 7x4 "Defending Your Life"

Screencap courtesy of Home of the Nutty.  They're the best for Supernatural screencaps - check them out!

Open on a guy getting chased by a car.  Apparently it's a ghost car.  Ghost car splats guy.

Sam and Dean investigate.  Sammy's still hearing voices.  And he thinks Dean let Amy go...not so much.  God, Sam needs a haircut...

"License to kill" - really Dean, really?

Sam goes to check out AA, and Dean checks out a flower shop, which leads to a graveyard where the dead guy sent flowers once a month.  The grave belongs to a little girl who was killed when a neighbor hit her with their car.  Maybe our dead guy?  Probably.  But a salt and burn this early would just be too easy...

Now there's a guy being chased by a German shepherd.  Ghost dog.  Indiscriminate blood spatter.  What the hell is going on?

AD: "In Time" - Interesting concept.  It's got Matt Bomer, which is probably enough to get me to see it ;)

Second dead guy ran dog fights.  Sound like poetic justice to anyone else?  Obligatory Michael Vick reference.  Apparently dead guy 2 volunteered at an animal shelter...guess that didn't help.

Looks like this red dirt just keeps showing up.  The boys go to check out the apple farm where it came from.  A random guy runs out in front of the Impala.  Logically, Sam and Dean bring him back to their motel to get his story, which he claims is unbelievable.  Sounds like their kind of thing.

Guy says he was put on trial for robbing a liquor store and killing the owner and his wife.  He was just released from prison, but was also just put on trial.  He draws out to some symbols he saw in a barn on the apple farm.  These "trials" seem to have something to do with a local bar.

Dean says the case isn't as clear-cut as it seemed before.  All the "victims" have less than sparkly clean pasts. And now Dean's going off to probably get drunk.  Boy's got a problem...

Sam wants to go back to the barn where the trial took place.  The guy refuses.  Sam leaves him in a nice little salt circle.  Why do I feel like that's not going to work?

Cut to Dean in the bar.  Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Down South Jukin'" plays in the background.  Dean's throwing back doubles like there's no tomorrow.  That's gotta be good for his liver...And he's spilling his guts to the pretty blonde bartender.  There's a shady-looking guy in a baseball cap at the end of the bar.  Could be nothing, but probably isn't.

Sam investigates the barn with the red dirt.  Looks like a regular old barn to me.  Bobby calls; the symbols are Egyptian.  They reference the god Osiris, who plays judge, jury, and executioner for those who feel guilty.  Hmm, who do we know that's carrying around massive amounts of guilt?  Oh right, Dean!

Oh my God.  Dean's giving himself a pep talk.  And he just got snatched, by Osiris I assume.

(My mom just asked me what I was tweeting.  Had to explain that it was actually my blog.  Then I had to explain what a blog is...)

Back to Sam.  No, Dean's not loaded, he's been kidnapped.

Cut to that guy from before, watching TV in the motel room.  TV goes out, lights start to flicker.  Stay in the circle, dammit!  Oh look, the ghosts of the liquor store owner and his wife.  Yup, ghost just shot that guy in the face...

Brief moment with Sam and the bartender.  Sam found red dirt...

And now court is in session, the honorable judge Osiris presiding.  Sam wants to act as Dean's attorney.  He was pre-law...PRE.  Oh Sammy, nice try with the early objection.  He watches The Good Wife?!  Wow.  I really don't think you want to be in contempt in this guy's court.  Oh jeez, he just called Jo's ghost to the stand.  This is not gonna be pretty...

Lots of awkward personal questions, bringing Jo's feelings for Dean into it.  At least she's trying to help Dean out some.  Osiris is trying to say that Jo never would have died if she hadn't met Dean.  Debatable.  She always had a way of finding trouble.

Lawyer!Sam is on cross.  Bringing up the daddy issues, which Jo definitely also had.  Osiris cuts off Sam's cross mid-question.  What a dick.  Next witness: Sam?!  Oh wow, flashback from the first episode!  Osiris is trying to make everything that ever happened to anyone ever Dean's fault.  Okay, so maybe some of it was.  But not all of it!  Yellow Eyes would have killed Jess either way.

Wait.  How is Osiris not deciding anything?  Oh, so it's about how Dean feels about all this.  C'mon Dean, you can believe you're innocent!  No, he probably can't...He's been punishing himself for years.

Lawyer!Sam calls Dean as a witness.  If anyone can help, it's Sam!  He's making some good points here: Dean didn't know Jess would die, he didn't kill Jo, and it's not actually Dean's fault!

Oh man, he's screwed if Osiris calls Amy.  That is definitely where the guilt comes in.  But I think it's just guilt about lying to Sam.

GUILTY?!  SHIT!!!  But it's not like I didn't really see that coming...

Yeah boys, that guy from before is dead.  He should've stayed in the circle...that's, what, rule #1?

Mom just made a good point: if Dean tells Sam about Amy, he won't feel guilty anymore.

Bobby's got a way to put Osiris down?  Cool!  But, where are the boys going to get a ram's horn?  Is there a zoo nearby?  They are NOT going to rob a synagogue!  They are...well, Sam is.  And that leaves Dean to deal with Ghost!Jo.  Bring on the guilt.

Cut to Sammy robbing a synagogue.  "I'm guessing you're not here for bar mitzvah lessons?"  Good line haha

And Osiris is scouting for another victim...

Dean and Jo are having a moment.  Dean definitely thinks this was all his fault.  Jo disagrees.  I almost didn't notice that she's wearing the same outfit as when she died.  I think the jacket looks a little different though.

Sammy's got the ram's horn.  Now he just has to find Osiris.

Oh man, don't blow the motel up Jo!  That's not even how she died!  She died right before the bomb went off; Ellen blew the hardware store up!  And there goes the salt circle...this is not good.

And there's Sammy with the last-second save!  YES!!!

Aww, tender moment.  And Jo's gone.  Dean should probably turn the gas off...

Oooh, a brotherly moment?  I'm intrigued.  Will Dean tell Sam about Amy?  Nah, instead we'll just talk about Lawyer!Sam, who was actually pretty good.  Quick question about the "final witness", but even quicker deflection by Dean.  So apparently Sam just doesn't feel guilty anymore.  Looks like that might be a good way to go through life, especially if you could end up getting judged by an Egyptian god...

My mom and I both thought Dean littered for a second there, but there was a trash can.  It's all good.

Final thoughts: I'll never complain about a Dean-centric episode, and this was a good one!  We took a good, hard look into Dean's head (or heart, pick your favorite), and it's a pretty dark place.  I think I would feel guilty if all that stuff had gone down on my watch, so I totally understand that he does.  It does worry me that Sammy doesn't seem to feel guilty about things anymore; didn't he get his soul back last season?  Either way, I hope we get plenty of insight into the boys this season!  Also: Jared REALLY needs a freakin' haircut!

Next week: Spike and Cordy!  Buffy fans, this one's for you!  Looks like Charisma will be playing a witch.  This should be interesting...

Geek Item of the Week 1!

Here's my first Geek Item of the Week. Please feel free to submit your own! It doesn't have to be homemade, this one just happened to be.

Supernatural 7x3 "The Girl Next Door"

Screencap courtesy of Home of the Nutty.  They're the best for Supernatural screencaps - check them out!

So when we left off at the end of "Hell, Cruel World", the boys were on their way to the hospital - Dean had a broken leg, and Sammy was seizing.

Open on Dean in the hospital.  I physically cringed when they set his leg; the sound was so nasty!  And of course, they're in the hospital where the leviathan are.

Glad to see that Bobby's okay!  I knew they couldn't kill him off, or at least I fervently hoped they wouldn't.  So now Dean's wandering around the hospital, doped up on morphine with a broken leg.  This is *definitely* going to end well.  I do like the way Bobby just grabbed Sam from that orderly.  And now he's stealing an ambulance. What a badass.  Close call with the leviathan doctors, but of course they got away.

Cut to Whitefish, Montana - 3 weeks later.  The boys are holed up in a little cabin, watching Spanish soap operas.  While Bobby explains the situation, Sam appears to lapse in and out of reality.  Squeezing that cut's only gonna last so long, Sammy.  Oh, so this was Rufus' cabin.  I miss Rufus.  Dean, do you really think it's a good idea to send Sam out on a food run alone, what with him hallucinating Lucifer and all?

Uh oh, looks like one of Sam's credit cards got flagged!  But who's looking for them?  Also, was that guy talking to Chuck first?  The "Mistress Magda" comment seems to indicate so...wonder if he'll be showing up this season?

Sam's back, and he brought cake - which is definitely not pie.  Flash back to 1998: young Sammy sits on a park bench.  He talks to Dean, then their father, on his brick of a 90's cell phone.  Something called a kitsune - sounds like a monster of the week to me!

Haha "My Bloodiest Valentine" - totally a reference to Jensen being in "My Bloody Valentine"!  Now where is Sam sneaking off to?

Okay, random drug deal going down.  And something just killed the dealer...

Back to Dean.  How did we get from horror movies to Animal Planet without anyone changing the channel?  Never mind.  In Dean's defense, I'd probably panic too.  Sam's run off leaving only a note that says "Back in a few days.  I'm fine".

Oh yeah Dean, circular saw seems like a great way to take off a cast...

Cut to Sam at a police station, impersonating a fed (I'm guessing based on the suit), and talking to a local cop about the case.  3 missed calls from "Lars Ulrich".  Nice Metallica reference!

Go to Dean, searching for Sam.  Not much to report there.  But he did find the newspaper that set Sam off!

Back to Sam, in the morgue now.  Whatever this thing is eats pituitary glands.  Gross.  Now we're flashing between present Sam setting up shop and young Sam doing research in the library.  There appears to be a pattern to the killings.  Now we're between present Sam on stakeout and young Sam checking out a girl at the library.  Young Sam says "You stab it in the heart!" loudly and only gets a shush from the librarian?

Young Sam approaches the girl.  He gets a very harsh, "No.  Go away" for his efforts.  Ouch.  Apparently this girl's not supposed to talk to boys.  So then who are the two following her around?  The boys appear to be hassling her.  Sammy intervenes and kicks their butts just enough to send them packing.  Attaboy!  So her name's Amy.

Present: Sam follows a mystery woman around the forest, and some guy struggles to get into his car.  Turns out mystery woman isn't such a mystery: she's Amy!

Okay, I couldn't care less about Gossip Girl.  Can we please get back to Supernatural?

Present: Sam and Amy (Jewel Staite).  Sam thinks Amy is the monster, and at the moment it does seem like it.

1998: Amy cleans a bruise on Sam's face and asks him how he beat those guys up.  Sam says he watches a lot of Bruce Lee movies.  Amy goes to get Sam a drink.  Oh my God, the fridge is full of BRAINS!  They talk about their lives and how they both move around a lot.  Sam says he hates being the new kid because everyone thinks he's a freak.  Amy says all the coolest people are freaks.  They kiss.

Present: Okay, so Amy's the monster.  She says she's managing what she is.  Sam goes to make his move, but Amy easily incapacitates him.

Cut to Dean, in the same morgue as before.  When the ME mentions the missing pituitary glands, Dean finally makes the connection.  He calls Bobby to reaveal that the monster is in fact a kitsune.

Sam finds Amy at her house.  OH. MY. GOD.  HER NAME IS AMY POND!!!!! (Sorry, couldn't help that. There HAS to be a Doctor Who fan on the writing staff!) It appears Amy has killed recently.  Sam says he has to kill her.  Amy protests, saying Sam knows her.

1998: Sam spills a soda after they break the kiss.  Amy says her mom has a temper.  Sam talks about his dad's drinking.  Sam says he's been around enough bad to know that Amy is good.

Present: Amy continues to beg for her life.  She shows Sam her son and says she only feeds on the dead.  She's a mortician.  But her son got sick, and the only way to cure him was to get him some "fresh meat".  Oh boy, there's an "After what I did for you" moment coming on...

1998: The door unlocks.  Amy hides Sam in the closet.  Her mom comes in.  2 pros in an Impala (John and Dean) have caught up with them.  Amy's mother says they have to move.  Sam realizes what's going on, but he definitely figures it out when he sees a jar of brain on the kitchen table.  Amy figures out Sam is a hunter, and that they're supposed to kill each other.  She says she's never killed anyone and asks if Sam really wants to kill her.  He says no.  Amy begs him to leave, saying her mother will kill him.  Sam puts his knife away.

Present: Sam walks out a liquor store (I think), and something knocks him to the ground.  It's Dean.  "Hi there, Sam" he says to his unconscious brother.  Yup, that's a healthy relationship...although I do suppose surprise is the only advantage Dean has over Sam, what with the size difference and all.

"New rule: you steal my baby, you get punched." Seems like sound logic, Dean.  Now the boys are some motel, and Dean is scolding the holy hell out of Sam for taking off and ignoring his calls.  Sam fesses up to letting Amy go.  Dean is understandably shocked.

1998: Amy's mom finds Sam.  She berates Amy for befriending a human, and moves in for the kill on Sam.  Amy sticks a kitchen knife in her mother, killing her.  Okay, so that was a pretty significant "After what I did for you"...

Present: Sam tries to make Dean understand that Amy doesn't need to be hunted.  Dean doesn't agree; he says they have to kill her.  He says it's "that simple".  "Nothing in our lives is simple," Dean responds.

1998: Amy wants to run away with Sam.  Sam asks if she has cash and tells her to take the first bus out of town.  Amy pleads with him ("We can be freaks together"), but Sam won't go.

Present: Dean calls Amy a freak, which upsets Sam.  Sam has another "I'm a freak, but I'm not dangerous" monologue.  He tells Dean that Amy only killed to save her son's life, saying they'd probably do the same thing.  He pulls the puppy eyes - we all know Dean can't say no to those - and begs his brother to trust him.  Dean acquiesces, saying he has to start trusting Sam at some point.

Why are commercials so annoying?  Oh right, it's because they're interrupting Supernatural...Haha, Caroline from Bones is in a Trident commercial.  Hey CW Cincinnati, you might want to take those Charlie Sheen "Two and a Half Men" clips out of your video montage commercial...

Wow, another Biggerson's restaurant!  They're really getting some love this season!  Dean offers to let Sam drive; Sam asks if Dean's going to punch him again. I LOL'd.  They drive to Spokane to hole up for the night until Bobby can meet them.  Dean leaves Sam to check into the motel while he goes out to get more pills.  But really, he followed Amy.  Man, every time someone says "Amy Pond", I think Doctor Who and Karen Gillan!  Dean gives Amy the "You are what you are lecture", telling her she will kill again.  And then he stabs her.  WTF DEAN?!?!  Amy's son Jacob walks in at exactly the wrong moment.  Dean asks if he has someone to go to; the boy nods.  Dean asks if he's ever killed anyone; he shakes his head.  Jacob says the only person he's going to kill is Dean.  Creepy as hell.

Cut to the convenience store from earlier.  The guy tracking Sam says he's catching up.  Oh shit, he's a leviathan!  He pours scalding nacho cheese on the store manager because "everything is better with cheese".  Wow, yikes.  And that's the episode for this week.

Thoughts: It certainly wasn't as action-packed as other episodes, but I thought the backstory was interesting - Sam befriending a monster as a kid?  Talk about conflict!  And now, I'm sure Sam is going to find out Dean killed Amy, and there'll be a big fight about that.  I'm also totally convinced that we haven't seen the last of Jacob; that kid seemed way too intense to just walk away.  Is it weird that I actually missed Lucifer a little?  He was entertaining, in a really twisted way.  All in all, pretty good episode.

Next week: Egyptian god Osiris, who targets people who feel guilty.  Sound like anyone we know?  Oh right, Mr. Guilt Complex himself...Dean!  And this guys not going easy - he's sicking Jo on Dean!  The last time we saw Jo was "Abandon All Hope", when she got gutted by a hell hound and died just before Ellen sacrificed herself and blew up a building so Sam and Dean could make a clean getaway to kill Lucifer - which they couldn't pull off at the time...

Fair Warning

I just want to let everyone know that Friday nights will be dedicated to my favorite TV show: Supernatural!  I'm going to write recaps/reactions/reviews for each new episode as it airs and post after.  They'll be pretty wordy, mostly because they are recaps.

Hope there are some Supernatural fans out there to read these!

Comic Con 2012?

I'm not sure what protocol is on how often one updates a blog, but I just wanted to share this: There's a pretty good chance I'll be attending Comic Con 2012!  My dad has a friend whose brother runs a sci-fi/fantasy TV/movie merchandise website (check out the link at the end), and he has a booth at Comic Con every year.  Recently, my dad took a business trip to the area where his friend lives.  I asked him to put a good word in for me with Mark (the guy who runs the site).  Mark said that as long as I'm willing to work the booth, I can go to Comic Con with them!

I know it's a bit early, but I'm hoping Supernatural and Doctor Who will have booths there!  I would love to at least get to see some of the stars of my favorite shows!  In short, I'm really, really excited!

Anyone else have plans to attend Comic Con 2012?

RIP Steve Jobs

It's truly a sad day for the world of tech.  Steve Jobs was an inspiration and so far ahead of his time.  I may be a PC girl, but I love my iPod.  Thank you for everything, Steve.

Hello, Internet!

It seemed like all the cool kids were starting blogs, so I decided to get one too.  And by "all the cool kids", I mean my one friend Manda (I'll link to her blog later).

So here I am.  My name's Erica, and I'm a freshman in college.  I've always been into all things sci-fi, fantasy, and technological, but only just recently considered blogging about them.  I had a great conversation about sci-fi TV shows with one of my new friends at lunch today.  He and I didn't watch many of the same shows, so I decided to do some exploring.  This blog will basically be my journey through the world of sci-fi, from (my) old favorites to anything new and exciting (for me, at least).  In addition, I'll likely throw in posts that aren't all sci-fi all the time.  I like a lot of different genres, so they'll probably make appearances as well.

I think that's all I have for now.  Hope there are some people who will actually read this!

Manda's blog - level one: http://level-uno.blogspot.com/.  Manda blogs about video games (she kicks ass at them!), but not on a superficial level.  She posted her first entry today as well, and it's excellent!
