Dean. In Navy whites.

Those were the words audreyovisual left me with when she went home from work on Friday, as I was struggling to finish an email to a customer. Fat lot of good I had focusing on that with the mental image she left behind. Like I hadn't already had enough trouble focusing thanks to that extremely distracting Jensen photo shoot circulating last week.

Evil, evil Audrey. *grin*

Anyway. Some low points notwithstanding, it's been a great week. Lectrixsola was in town for a visit, and we spent a lovely evening on Sunday with the Hears. Helped Mrs. Mongolia out with the kids on Monday night, saw Casino Royale with another friend on Tuesday night which, as promised, kicked serious ass.

Wednesday evening I attended a talk by artist Ed Pien about his work. People, his stuff is amazing: he currently does papercuts, but they are these intense, elaborate, HUGE affairs that usually involve trees. Check this out. It's got such mystery and intensity; it's my single favourite piece by him. Yes, it's a symmetrical tree with people asymmetrically arranged. This is a papercut: think about how tricky that would be. Yes, it's as big as it looks - and as detailed. IT IS INSANE. I LOVE IT.

And online I continue to discover delightful corners of my fandom. From the best and funniest damn advice I've ever heard for when feeling angsty and emo (the comments are great too), to amusing exchanges about How This Whole Boy/Boy Thing Works, Anyway. (Funnier if you know that all parties in the exchange are, in fact, prolific slash writers and FAR from the innocents they appear.) And MORSE CODE PORN, people! Yes, my fandom has boy-on-boy MORSE CODE PORN! It simply does not get any better or geekier or gayer than that.

In my increasingly-active online life, I was thrilled beyond words last weekend to discover that not only does our very own krakkernuts now watch Supernatural, but I stumbled across someone else who does too! A fellow gay geek, no less! Who lives in Toronto, and created an awesome "Insane Fen Posse" flag that I have every intention of putting on a placard for next year's Pride. Huzzah! And with Audrey having finally caved and another co-worker up to Something Wicked, I finally have real-life folk to talk about the show with. (Now, if only they would catch up to the current episodes...) Too bad I don't get, like, points or a toaster or something for converting people to the show.

Also, note to self: chatting on AIM until 5 AM, no matter how fun and/or interesting the conversation, is NOT conducive to being productive the next day. (Still totally worth it, though. :) )
